RE: My first tank!
Aquaskip, I also started a chemical-free ammonia cycle 5 weeks ago. I put plants in as soon as the subtrate settled (it was sand over gravel). In order to kick-start the cycle I added a few drops of Ammonnium Chloride purchased from a bottle purchased on the web. That did the trick as now the ammoni...

RE: Is inert substrate with root tabs enough?
The only problems I had with plants, were the wretched things floating to the top with the circulating water. Especially those with larger leaves. My substrate is sand covering gravel. Finally got the better of them by placing tiny stones around the roots. (After boiling them of course... the ston...

RE: Tank stand smaller than tank
57 litres is about 10 gallons and one gallon of water weighs 9 pounds or so. Add the substrate weight and any additional stuff you wish to add and this will give you an idea of total weight.

RE: Tetra Nitrate test problem
Use the “imgur” button to upload pictures. The attachment part isn’t working. I’m afraid I can’t help with the test kit as I’ve not used that myself. Have you looked online for instructions? Hopefully someone will be able to help you soon. Thanks for the advice I will try that.. Regarding my proble...
