Yeah i follow them on facebook, not sure what the reason was but they were given about a month to vacate the premises. Some of the staff have taken jobs at Just Finns in Stoke - always found the staff at a-z helpful

Re: Changing aquarium soil

Wow just for future reference I wouldnt put this soil in a stocked tank. Its dropped my kH from 8 to 1 in about 2 days! Ammonia spike is probably not problematic though, gone to 0.25ppm (with no filter so a cycled filter would probably be able to deal with it)

Re: Changing aquarium soil

Sorry i phrased that wrong. I do have plants and will be getting more but essentially all of my stuff is currently sat in my brothers tank.

Re: Targeted feeding

Changing aquarium soil

Good morning After a bit of advice regarding soil. I've just moved house and currently all my fish, water and filter are in my brothers (old but annoyingly bigger and better) tank.

Mainly i was just wondering if theres any maintenance that i should do to the tank whilst its empty?
