Re: DuzMano's Leddy 60XL 72l

This hobby teaches patience, especially with cycling. ;) :)
It's all worth it as the fish will be healthier (unless you get poor ones from the shop, which happens) and if there are problems they will be easier to deal with.

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...

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.
