Hello, I have one black moor in a 54 liter's tank. I had the black moor for 4 weeks now and it was very active before but it has been sitting at the bottom lf the tank, most of the time, the past two days. The tank is fully cycled I think and has been running for 6+ months. I do weekly 40-50%...

Hello, I have a neon-tetra and a cardinal-tetra in a small 11-litters aquarium. I went for a long vacation in the Summer and during that time I had setup a fish feeder that feeds the fish small amount of food daily. When I cam back I found out that most of the food was uneaten (it was stuck on...

Hi, I am starting up a new 54L tank. I have followed the articles on this forum on how to fishless-cycling a tank. I have added ammonia to the tank and been keeping the tank running (with no fish) for more than 15 days now and the ammonia level is still > 5 ppm! I did 50-60% water changes two...

Thank you all for the great advice and replies. The aquarium was a gift to my 4-years old son so I didn't want to disappoint him and throw it away or replace it with something else. :) The dead fish has been removed and the water has been fully changed. Now I am changing the water every other...

Ok guys, I had a guppy in a 3 gallon cylindrical tank that died today (on a Christmas eve!) :(. I totally underestimated the ammonia risk thinking that the living gravel that I bought was enough to be used as a bio-filter! (Refer to my original post about that aquarium). Now the question is: is...

Hello everyone, I just received a small 54 liters (approx. 14 gallon) 60x30x30 cm aquarium for a free and I want to hear your opinion about my stocking plan and want to know your recommendations too. I am thinking of stocking this small aquarium with 10 Cardinal Tetras (very much interested...

Well, I am hoping to make the aquarium cleans itself without needing to change the water, at least not so often. I was inspired by the following EcoAquarium, which I already have two of them running for 3 months now without changing the water. From the same website mentioned above, I bought 3...

I forgot to mention that I am using strips testing kit which might be not the most accurate ever. :) The kits tests for NO2, NO3, pH. I think I missed the ammonia totally! I have to get a new and better testing kit. I have just tested the tap water and the strips shows: NO2: 0 NO3: 0 pH: 7.0...

Thank you all for your reply. I ordered KleenOff from Amazon.co.uk for 10£ and according to the seller it should arrive in 3-4 days so that I can get started with the cycling process. :-) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

@Eggheadfish: Thank you for your reply and your advice. @FWFishTanks: The tank comes with under ground filter and I got a small size 50W heater.

Hello I am in the process of cycling a new fish tank but I can not find any store that sells pure liquid Ammonia in my area (Stockholm, Sweden). So, the question is: is there an alteranitve for the liquid ammonia to help in the fishless cycling? Thanks in advance Sent from my iPad using...
