Re: Whats this?

The flow is probably not getting around the whole tank, top to bottom, that's a main cause of it. What Martin has posted is a good idea if the filter can't be adjusted. I had it in my Juwel Trigon and it took about 18 months to get the flow just right. It doesn't like hydrogen peroxide (3% or 6%) sp...

Use ammonia. There's a chart in the Guides/resources to help calculate how much you need depending on the strength.

Don't over-worry about the ph, just remember that it does change a lot for when you do water changes.

Re: no heater/pump for 2 hours

Whenever I've had the meters or fuse box changed the power has been off for up to 2 hours, I've also forgotten to switch various plugs back on after water changes.
I have 4 tanks, but not had a problem with power outages.

Re: DuzMano's Leddy 60XL 72l

How hard is the water?
It may be that they put CO2 into the supply to keep down the limescale in the pipes....?

Re: Starter advice - help!

Welcome to the forum. :D
As above, it's the hardness of the water that's most important when deciding what fish you can keep easily.

Re: DuzMano's Leddy 60XL 72l

Be very careful with getting stuff from the beach/shore. Most are now protected by law to stop people removing things that can act as a barrier, but, worst of all, they are usually covered in all sorts of nasties that freshwater fish won't like.
