Thanks Sayid,
Good luck FeGrl! I hope things go well and your fish returns to health very soon.
Just a quick note on the Nitrate test, I assume you are using the API master test kit? If so, make...

Hello FeGrl,
Welcome to the boards here!
I am confused if your tank is 2 years old why it would have no Nitrate reading? Please confirm your nitrate reading, it should be 5.0 - 20ppm. I don't...

lol I guess we are a bit topsy tervy to you Brits :p
Thank you Hollowman, yes I could have gone bare bottom but I didn't, between cleaning everyday and the Cories I think it should be ok though :)

Turns out I only needed to do one large water change to bring the Nitrate down. I changed just over 100 liters of water, that's 26 gallons. My nitrate is now 10-20ppm, I am happy with that. Its been...

Hi,
Only one of the plants is fake, the others are live. I have been doing regular water changes but they have not been big ones, only around 40% each time, which I thought was enough, but maybe...

Hi guys,
Just finished a 35% water change, with your advice I changed the Carbon/Floss cartridge to a new Carbon/Floss cartridge as that's what I had handy, the pet store was closed and I couldn't...

Hello,
There seems to be no water flow what so ever in that tank from the photos above, you need to have a filter that breaks the sureface of the water and its also good to have a couple of air...

Hi Krissy!
Lovely to see you here :)
Well a lot has happened since I posted this thread back then. I didn't end up getting discus at that stage, I ended up doing a community tank with neon's, rams...

Hollowman, thank you :)
The main reason for putting my discus project off besides the tank size was the cost of 5 discus in one hit, I just don't have the money right now to fork out for 5 at once,...

I have made a decision not to get Discus right now, I'm going to get them in the future, I would really prefer to have a 6 foot tank rather...

Please note, the ammonia above does not foam or have any bubbles when its shaken up. I'm reading that cloudy ammonia has soap in it but I don't think the above one does have any soap.
EDIT: I am...

HI guys,
Is this ok? It says on the side Contains: Ammonia 20g/l... But its called cloudy ammonia?
It was all I could find, I went to the hardware stores and they only had the cloudy ammonia...

Also, Prime has been added to the tank last week, which on the instructions for ammonia fishless cycle it says not to add it.. Am I going to be wasting my time trying to now start the ammonia...
