Thanks, I'll try Sterazin.

I can't remove the Tropica soil sadly. How much of an issue is it to keep cories on it? We can't get a second tank :(

What's up with this panda cory?

Re: Fish recommendations for a beginner - hard water - 19 gallon

Re: Re: GOT!: Shrimp in the Manchester area

Re: New Tank Log: VikingMummy

VikingMummy2015 just catching up with your log. Your tank is looking amazing, and those plants! Your Crypt balansae growth is giving me hope (you have soft water too if I recall right?) I noticed you mentioned the funny noise your Oase Biomaster makes - did you ever work out what it was? I have the...
