    which fish for strong flow please

    Well If you have alot of flow, White clouds like those conditions, my river tank also has Panda Garra which like a lot of flow too. What temps are you running your tank at?

    I can vouch for the Hagen Elite too, but both are about the same size.

    Lighting requirements for Anubias and Microsorum

    Nitrates are at 20ppm, its hardly low. I've had Nitrates at 50ppm but it made little difference. I had hoped that the plants would out compete the BGA and it would go away as i clean it out.

    Lighting requirements for Anubias and Microsorum

    I have a 100Litre 36x12x18 tank with a 39W T5. I'm struggling against BGA. I've been lighting the tank for 7hrs a day is this too long and just helping the BGA? Tank is low tech no CO2 and filtered by an Aquaclear 50 powerhead with quick filter and an Aquaball 160 atm. I'm getting a 2213...

    Marks on Glass - Cleaning help needed

    Are you sure they aren't just salts and minerals from the water?

    True SAE or something else?

    Get a Garra, they remain fairly small and are non agressive.

    Any geologists among us?

    Would i be correct in thinking though, that if you want hard water for your fish, that a rock which reacts lightly to acid maybe a good idea to act as a buffer? I didn't do Geology... I did chemical engineering ;)

    Hi thanks. No I have Hillstream loach, White cloud mountain minnows and Glowlight Danio. The issue is that i believe Macrobrachium will predate on small fish?

    Help shrimp ID...

    Hi, i purchased some shrimp about 3 months ago, when i saw them i asked if they were Neocaridina Heteropoda and told yes, they were natural coloured cherry shrimp... This was a maidenhead aquatics store so assumed the staff knew their stock... Now i'm not so sure. Can anyone lend a hand? I...

    How to keep a filter sponge alive?

    The 45 has only one compartment, i user it like a power head but with some filtration. I was going to pop the bottom off, take out the sponge, and put a small bag of active carbon in for 24hrs. I'll have to give the sponge a rinse i think before i leave it in the tank else i'll have bits everywhere!

    How to keep a filter sponge alive?

    I'm about to run some carbon in my aquaball 45 filter (I have a dual setup of an Aquaball 130 and a 45) but i want to keep the sponge alive, what can i do? Can i just keep it in the aquarium Or would i need to keep it in the flow to make sure its getting oxygen?

    Ill fish, but what is it? (fungal bacterial?)

    Thought i'd post an update, the Ektol Fluid seemed to do the job and i lost no more fish. I've just picked up another four WCMM to bring my number up to 9. One of these (from another supplier) is now showing possible symptoms so i have moved it to my treatment tank and dosed with Ektol, not...

    Anubias Nana in a temperate tank?

    Thanks for the replies, one more question, would it grow ok on a resin tree stump? I know it will grow on rocks so my guess would be yes?

    Anubias Nana in a temperate tank?

    Will Anubias Nana grow in a lightly heated (21C) Aquarium? I keep reading conflicting reports. Some say it'll grow in 20-25C some 24-28C. Anyone here grow it cool?

    Tragedy in CRS tank

    Try the Ashton MA, the main guy there seems ok and knows a bit about fish even. The only other place to look at would be "The Aquarium" at Cockfields. I'd certainly complain.

    Ill fish, but what is it? (fungal bacterial?)

    The first fish died with no external symptoms, but the second one you see above. I've picked up some Ektol fluid, (like interpet internal bacteria treatment) which seems to be a non antibiotic asyou can only purchase antibiotics with a perscription froma vet. Though i'm having to take the snails...

The tank is a 100l stream style tank with Sagittaria and Egeria Densa. Sadly the fish succomed last night and...

    Improve flow and and use some excel or easy carbo. Would be my first thoughts. Then nitrates.

    My review of the Hagen T5HO light unit!

    I picked up a 39W from the same seller, it arrived pretty quick. I also hate the screws on the sides for the end caps as i can't screw them back on as the wall is in the way! Btw you can remove the side mounts and hang the unit as it has hooks in the top for wire.

    fighting blue green algae

    I joined the forum recently as i'm just getting back into fish keeping after a gap of 15 years. On the war against CB/BGA i believe that very low conc of H2O2 is extreamly effective against it. Though of course fighting the cause of the CB build up is the way to win the war, but to give it a...
