The BioNitratEx is more for use in the filter of the tank, thats why it takes up to about 3 weeks to establish itself and its also why it can get a cloudy water which can be filtered out with Carbon. I had another read but i didnt see anything saying about Nitriet spikes. The reason i decided for Ni...

Since my tapwater has 50mg/l nitrate i started with osmose water but since it still gave me 12,5 mg/l I decided to do another search. After a lot of searching and trying, i found NitratEx from JBL. It removes up to 50 mg/l nitrate from 200 liters. And its rechargable. They also have BioNitrateEx whi...

If u really want to go on the safe side. Why not buy some of the internal filter sponges? I know that some lfs with pond filter sell them in huge sizes.

What a great idea!

My father in law has something similar for his pond, and we where thinking about how to create that for our fish tank. This is exactly telling how to.

Good luck i hope he pulls trough!!

Lovely pictures!!

It really tempts me to get the extra rekord i have out too for hillies. But i dont think my hubby would appreciate that.

Not that my Clowns bother they deliberate move the smaller piece and then lay back in it while it takes turns floating. :lol: Mmm gonna check it this weekend...

Its getting Dutchy here.

lovely pics Keith!!

The tank is a stunning beauty Dutch!

Have u tried feeding some Cucumber or Courgette? u can boil it for a few minutes so it sinks to the bottom or u can heavy it with a teaspoon so it can sink. U can also soak it in meds before u feed it.

My Clowns also love mussels, not the slimey ones but the boiled or baked ones.

Good luck with it.

Hi Tender, Hows your Clown doing now? In Holland it is difficult to get meds too (atleast the good meds) If u cant get a dewormer trough a vet, i found a method with pumpkin seeds on a puffer forum when i was searching for alternatives for my puffer to deworm. Here's the link. Scroll down untill u s...

Looking forward to it.

i also make about 50 pics and a couple of them are decent enough to use

Dank je wel Dutch. (thank you Dutch)
