Re: 240L Juwel Rio

You don't need Co2 injection to grow healthy aquarium plants.

However some plants species like Blyxa, Micranthemum or Pogostemon can be tricky to grow in the aquarium and for these Co2 can be beneficial for good growth.

Re: Cracked Tank

Empty time! I'd wouldn't fill it up or trust it really.

Either you'll have to get it repaired or braced.

Re: no heater/pump for 2 hours

They'll be OK, although I'd be tempted to do a partial water change afterwards.

What I don't understand is why power needs to be off for two hours. Our tenants have never had the electricity turned off during an annual EPC test.

Re: In The Shallows

The older female endlers seem to be dwindling a bit now, and I think I’ve lost one of my older harlequins, which have got to be 7+ years old now. I pulled out a skeleton last night thinking it was the harlequin but after having a count of endlers, I’m down to 3 females with two looking a bit worse ...

Re: DuzMano's Leddy 60XL 72l

Before I get stuck in to building up my substrate, wonder if I could lean on you guys for some advice and guidance...

Re: Water levels

Thanks, the first went in 12 days ago. White Cloud/gold Mountain Minnow. 24litre tank with filter, heater to keep between 18-23. We are currently 2 weeks in. Do I take it the aquatic / pet store told you this was OK to do this? Unfortunately, many store don't give very good advice to new fishkeeper...
