Ive got a very small fluvial Edge with a handful of fish in it and a few shrimps. Would love to have something bigger but you dont get much space cooped up in her majesty's blocks! Got ember tetras, glowlight tetras and black widow tetras. A couple of blue rams too.

Me I acquired it when the ex left. It's a decent size juwel tank with a bright blue/red Siamese fighter who is fabulous, a few neons, a couple of red honey gourami's and a handful of balloon Mollie's. I'm losing a lot and getting a fair bit of green at the moment but I don't really know what I'm doing if I'm honest. Waters fine I had it checked but still a couple of floaters

Noooo they're not ugly. I had a couple of huge oscars when I had a bigger tank I loved them they would be hand fed and came to front of the tank when called

Do a water change Hun, and buy some octozin you could also invest in some sea chem prime. If your topping your tank up... With tap water throw in a few drops of water conditioner. Cheap from aquatic stores. Good luck I actually found tropical.. More iffy than marine.

Thanks I regularly do a partial change and although use tap water I let it stand for a couple of days before use. I always fancied a marine set up but I thought they were harder to maintain ...

Doesn't matter about leaving the water to stand Hun. You need some conditioner. To remove the chemicals. Ie chloride marine are quite hard but in a different way. Inbox me if you need any advice

Got a 240 litre jewel tank and a 260 might be 280 litre jewel with curved glass.

Had all sorts but my favourite were angelfish.

had a red tail shark and he was a right nobhead! He bullied my albino shark so I took him back to the shop.

Marines are difficult and costly to keep. Also, if you have an algae problem, is the tank in direct sunlight? If so, that will cause problems, especially in current weather. And leaving water overnight is fine for water changes. The chlorine evaporates over the course of 8 hours
