Tropical Aquariums

[ash12]

Thought I would put this in here instead of the lounge because of the lack of people in the lounge.
I was thinking of buying a Tropical aquarium again and I just wondered if anybody has any experience of the Aqua one Aquastyle 620, because i have heard mixed views on them and the filtration being inadequate.
Any other tips and advise welcome.

I suspect the "lack of people" is due to the fact that it is good sailing weather.

It has SFA to do with motor boats. You will reach more people who wish to chat about aquaria in the Lounge. I mean, they are specialists in sea horses, for a start.

I would add fish gradually, checking water quality often just to make sure you don't overload the filtration system.
If it turns out to be struggling it's fairly simple to add perhaps a powerhead with under gravel filtration or even a small canister filter in the cupboard underneath.
Just keep checking ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels this will show if your filter isn't keeping up.

There has been a decline in the amount of people over the last few months. Ill ask in the lounge then.

Ive been advised to do tests and I will nick some water and a bit of gravel from a disease free established tank to kick start the nitrogen cycle thing and overall biological filtration. Thanks
