Hi, Can someone identify the fish in the image please, sorry it is a bit blurry, they are not good at staying still. I have 15 of them in a 4 foot community tank and they are an absolute nightmare, each seems to have it's own patch of water that is its territory and attacks anything that...

Hi, I am trying to work out what a sensible pH profile change is so that I can maintain optimal CO2 levels in the tank. I have a drop checker in the tank, but telling the difference between shades of green is challenging. To start with my tank pH is currently around 5.5 (without CO2), my tap...

Hi, I purchased the following regulator from CO2Art a few months ago but I am having a few issues with it: Aquarium CO2 Dual Stage Regulator and Solenoid Magnetic Valve | CO2Art.co.uk - CO2 Aquarium Specialists When I set the level of CO2 that comes out it is fine, but I find that when the...

Hi All, If you are running an airpump through an airstone into a tank is it possible to ever get CO2 levels so high that they are toxic to livestock? If I understand things correctly then the airpump will saturate the water column with O2 meaning that the livestock couldn't asphyxiate, thereby...

Hi, I have recently just setup a new open top planted tank of dimensions 70 x 70 x 45 (l x w x d all in cm) and have injected CO2 running on a solonoid timer. My concern is whether I am likely to gas my fish when I add them into the tank. I have a drop checker that is showing as almost...

Hi all, Just ordered a brand new opti-white aquarium that is square with the following dimensions. 70 x 70 x 45 (w x l x h) in cm mind! I am after some ideas of how to scape the new tank when I get it. It will be situated in a corner of a room and two sides of the tank will be visible. It...

I am looking at the possibility of getting a new 90 cm NA aquarium and Movel Elit cabinet for it and I was wondering whether anyone has this kind of setup or similar from NA. My other half is pretty cool with the idea of the new tank providing that the cabinet looks OK. I have a lot of light...

Hi, I am planning on getting a circulation power head to help with co2 circulation around a 300l 4 foot long tank. I want one that doesn't have a wire trailing into the aquarium if possible but I don't know where to start. Does anyone have any good suggestions? Thanks Mike

Hi, I am doing a bit of research on what fish to stock my tank with when I re-scape. The tank is 120 X 50 X 50 and will likely house 6 baby angels, at least a pair of a small gourami species, arched corys, sterbei corys and some ottos. I would quite like to get a single or pair of very nice...

Hi I cleaned my eheim 350t filter last week and since reassembling it I have managed to do something that makes it rattle. I have since taken the filter head apart and looked at everything I can think of around the impeller and its housing. I can't find anything that causes the rattle. I am...

Hi Everyone, Is it possible to keep Sakura and Crystal Red shrimps together in the same tank? I am guessing the answer is a yes but just wanted a bit of confirmation. Also will these two shrimp varieties interbreed? Thanks Mike

Hi all, Not sure if I have put this in the right section as it covers a fair few topics. I am currently planning a tank re-scape to house some angelfish. The tank has the following dimensions - 120 x 50 x 50 (cm). A bit of background first though: The centre-piece of wood. The...

Hi, I was having an interesting thought the other day.I currently do EI dosing on my 300L tank and struggle getting CO2 circulated around the whole thing using an inline reactor. It occurred to me that couldn't I simply supplement the water column with a liquid carbon product as well as C02...

Hi, I am thinking of a planted tank with Angels and a few other select fish (as yet undecided) and was wondering if there are any particular planting requirements for angels like there are with Discus? I have a number of plants already and was just after confirmation about whether most...

Hi, I am thinking of doing a tank re-scape sometime soon and changing all of the livestock around. One of the options I am considering is whether I could keep angels. The tank is 120 x 50 x 50 (cm) and holds around 300 litres. So in theory how many could I stock in the tank. I prefer...

Hi folks, I have an open tank with the following dimensions: 120 x 50 x 50 (cm). I currently have 4 54w t5 lightning it but I want to mover to something led based that will be cheaper on electricity. I was wondering whether anyone had any experience of the kessil amazon sun units for planted...

Hi, I have a slight BBA issue in my tank and was wondering if Siamese Algae eaters may be the answer? The only issue I have is that my tank is open-topped and these fish apparently like to jump. Does anyone have any experience of keeping these fish in an open topped tank that is about 120x50x50...

Hi Folks, Just got hold of some EI powders from Fluidsensoronline and am new to EI. Is there any reason why traces are dosed on a separate day from the other EI elements? I was considering making a solution up of all components together and dosing a set amount daily as I will probably forget...
