They only get fried if you put too much wattage on to them. This one is for 100W,i.e. double of what the filter in question uses

I just checked the FX5 specs. At 110V it consumes 50W.

Really? I am shocked. You can get step down transformers over here for a little over 10 € delivered

Depends how much water you change. 10% straight from the tap won't make much of a difference, 50%, however, would.

Any other fish in that tank yet?
If not just ask your dealer what their water parameters are and try to adjust your water accordingly. If there isn't much of a difference acclimatize like any other...

Ok, got it now.
The green and white varigated plants on the right hand side are not aquatic plants. Remove asap or else they'll start rotting. Slap dealer with them and tell him to give you proper...

Pure RO water is not really stable enough and you will risk a pH crash. There are several ways to re-mineralize RO water. You can either mix it with tapwater until you have your desired water...

white worms don't carry diseases in case you are worried about that. You can also feed them with astaxanthin. Makes them nice and orange and besides bringing out the red colours in your fish (not an...

or just get hold of some clay and make peas sized balls. Let tthem dry and squeeze in amongst the roots. Works fine for me

you can use boiled water but don't use water from the hot water tank

the grassy plants you are referring to are probably Echinodorus tenellus. I don't recommend them since they attract dirt like nothing else unless you have a tank cleaning fetish to keep them clean of...

Did you worm them? In my experience wild fish nearly always carry some worms. Try feeding them garden worms or whiteworm and they will pack on weight pretty quickly. Just don't overdo it. 3 -4 times...

Can't see any pictures in your gallery. Anyoldhow, here's a few plants that will be OK in a discus tank.
Echinodorus belheri, E. quadricostatus, E. cordifolius, E. angustifolia, E.schlueteri. A...

You are quite correct. It's Monday mrning over here. The brain's not quite warmed up for the week yet :D

why don't you give it a thorough read :roll:

Ok, I see. They measure it in microsiemens per metre....

The less nitrate the better. It's the same with all pollutants.
Best way to keep nitrates low is to perform frequent water changes. But check your tapwater first. It might be high in nitrates...

Very much doubt that you have blackwater coming out of the tap. 19-20 microsiemens would translate into literally no hardness.

Nitrate up to about 25 mg/l has no adverse effect on juvenile discus and you can go as high as 40mg/l with adults. The tank's good to go

Chlorine is easy to get rid off. Sodium thiosulfate will do the job. Just be careful that your local water does not contain chloramines ( a combination of ammonia and chlorine). The sodium...

I do agree. No need for massive water changes like that, especially with adult fish. Keep the nitrates below 25 mg/l. If you are feeding beefheart mix you will need to have more frequent W/Cs than if...

HITH is now called lateral line erosion. Whatever you call it, it only occurs in very soft water. At present, it is believed to be caused by a lack of minerals.
Here's what's on the jbl website...

My guess would be gill flukes. Flubenol 15 or daryctol is good for that

Was it out of the water (even partially) when you did your water change? That might explain why it cracked. The glas got too hot since air does not take up heat as quickly as water. Always turn all...

The lethal dosis in Samir's first link are way above what is actually added to your drinking water. Sodium flouride (NaF) is not used in your water supply but more likely to be found in your...
