Hi all,
have only really just found these forums so hi all and sorry to start off on a downer but things will get better (I hope).
I have been into fishes for a few months now and used to have a little community set-up but got a little bored and decided to start moving into more agressive/spcialised species
My current tank 9hopefully upgrading to something like a 48x24x24 soon) is a 48x15x12 setup with a Fluval 204 external filter, 300watt heater, 40w marine bulb.
I have been having a few probs this week so will post some pics once its sorted.
My nitrites went through the roof a couple of days ago even thou the tank was cycled and establisehed still having accertained why.
Currently doind daily 50% changes, adding Bacterlife culture (double dose), The Nitrites are coming down albeit slowy
The stock of the tank was.....
4in Red Parrot
3 Silver Sharks (3-4in each)
2 Zephlin Chiclids ( one 2.5in and one little baby of about 1in)
Sailfin Plec (5in)
Zebra Catfish (mr clean-up 4in)
The parrot is currently at my lfs getting some TLC while things settle down, The catfish are in another emergency tank. Sadly the others are taking there chances in the tank
but are looking better after each change of water/does of culture
If Anybody could offer any advice to help on top of what I'm doing that would be cool.
Otherwise hello to everyone and hpefully I will have many months of good news and some pictures to post (fingers crossed)
