They reckon keeping marine fish is no harder, and thats its all about getting the water right from the start.

Even for tropical that can take months, and several lost fish along the way. :(

I tired to build a protein skimmer the other day... didnt work!  ;D

Unfortunately I lost a few fish a few weeks back (just after I took the photo... I lost 2 out of the 3 zebra danios which ive had for a year or two, the tetra which ive had for at least 3 years :-( and a baby guppy) I think I upset the balance when I went a bit OTT cleaning the tank + filter out  :-[

I've never tested the water levels before in any of my tanks... And today I decided to treat myself to a test kit.

All the levels were either non exsistant, or bang on where they should be  :y Wooo!

God knows how TBH,  as i've been lazy with the tank since the last load of fish died  :-[
