Hi Test kits are not like on here due their inaccuracy - I am not saying they are no good as they do give you indication of water perameters - dont treat the result as gospal as every test that you carry out (back to back tests) will give you a different reading. Regards Paul.

Nayr88 Let it cycle with spikes before planting and adding any fish - that what I was advised to do and thats what I am going to do - the old fashion way. Regards Paul.

Lil-Lxyn i am sorry to hear about your problem :( , rather than doing onne big water change 50% do lots of little changes spaced out over the day eg. 20% - 3 x a day if you can Regards paul

Hi 4dkh + Co2 reagent (Bromo Blue) are mixed it turns blue straight away and then changes colour depending on your co2 ppm within the water column. Regards paul

tzey When you refer to cloudy water within the above sentance / night fog within the subject are you refering to milky water (night fog) or cloudy water through dirt particals within the water column. As Chris states / requested - we need some tanks stats ie. size of tank, filter, quantity of...

Chris I didn't know that you were adding Co2 as well - very light shimmer or ripple of the surface water or you will expel you co2 gas. Thx for the comments regarding my tank. Regards Paul.

Not at all, the Chlorine added to drink water is a gas and if the water is allowed to stand for a 24 hrs period the gas will be expelled. There are a few peolpe on here that do not add any dechlorinator during their water change. So you are ok with what you wont to do, but I would disturb the...

I add my dechlorinator whilst I am adding my water, once the tank is full then I switch filter unit on. Regards paul.

I hope you can all swim :thumbup: - if "Ceg" see this you will all be in deep water :lol: Paul.

Dave There no point in posting a new thread like you said to do when a reply to the existing thread states the following: I was under the impression that the forum was to learn new ideas and pass on information in relation to techniques in growing aquarium plants, keeping fish and especially...

That what I having been about / saying but nobody would agree with me - viewtopic.php?f=51&t=6371&start=0 So here is a question - honest answers required - "Who uses Rowaphos" within their filter unit. Regards Paul.

Thx Andy One of my tank has "X" perameters and my other tank as "B" parameters - totally the oposite to what I expected to see when i tested "YES TESTED" the water. Once again thx Andy.

Sam As per the thread. Paul

Thx for the reply John, do you have any algae within your tank ?. Regards Paul.

Gang@Ukpas For Example:- 2 tanks of different volumes. Both are planted Both are Co2 injected Both have fish (different quantities due to size). Both have the same ferts being added Different filters - but have the same media Different flow rates Would expect to find different water...

Thx for the reply - i would imagine that you must have read my thread regarding "Packing in and my return" I posted two pic regarding my tank within the tread - how it was prior to Christmas and how it is now Inc the reasons for the change. Would you say the my tank is poorly planted which would...

George What the difference between ppm and mg/l. I measured mine 2 weeks ago and the reading was 5.0mg/l and you hear rumors that a high level of Po4 assist the algae spores to grow - any truth in this statement. Regards paul.

Gang@Ukaps Could somebody explain the consequences of high Po4 levels greater than 3.0 mg/l within the water column. Regards Paul.

Thats over 2.5 gallons per week - I would say that there is a leak somewhere :!: :!:, if you are concerned regarding the amount of fluid loss, buy some clear perspex and cut it to suit your top and place in position - that should reduce some evaporation. Regards Paul.

UKaps - Gang The higher the No.0 on the GH Scale indicates the harder or softer water. Regards Paul.

Thx for the reply i currently use precison lab test strips bought from aqua essentials. i tested my water today prior to doing a 50% water change which i have been advised to do. PO4 readings was between 25 to 50 the test strip are sensitive to 5ppm the colouration of the strip was nearer to...

Gents Could anybody please advise on water parameters for an 217L tropical aquarium Aqua one AR980 tank. Current parameters are pH = 6.4 KH = 3 GH = 3 Nitrates = 0 Nitrites = 0 PO4 = 35 approx. CO2 indicator colouration - Lime green 1.5 bubbles per second. The reason why I am asking is...
