Martin B Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I've got an empty coldwater one. It's meant to be a Christmas present so I am going to wait until after Christmas to get the fish. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Make sure that you set it up and let it rest before introducing the fish one at a time over the following weeks. Ask me next time we meet if you haven't read the instructons - I know how impatient you are!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 RTFM Martin!!!! You need let the environment stabilise between introductions or you'll poison them! I'll speak to you on the 1st December at the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 We once had a fish called Dave, but i rather like the thought of one called Bruce Willis!!! Neon tetras are lovely, I used to like those scissor tails too, kissing fish - but my favourites were guppies!!! You can get some very cool accessories now, in my day it used to be a stone bridge, a magnetic cleaner thing, a treasure chest that opened & closed and a diver!!!! Like the Biorbs!

The Dogmother Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I hope that doesn't mean Read the ******* manual. It means exactly that! Sure does Martin (can you tell I ued to work for an IT company?) but I was far too polite to put it in full! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I'm shocked. Don't see how adding them one at a time is beneficial though, will read that ******* manual before 1.12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfrock Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 are the pumps very noisey? I think it would look lovely in the bedroom and my birthday is only 10 days away ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 We bought a 60litre Biorb 18 months ago and cycled it for ages before adding fish (maybe a week or two?) Then we added 4 Danios which I have to say are completely bomb proof and have survived about 4 changes of tanks and a couple of emergency rescues when they've jumped into the filter bit at the back of our new tank! We got rid of the Biorb recently because I found it impossible to see the fish well - the curve distorted it too much and also we couldn't get many fish in. It really did look cool though. I had the i-Light on the programme that was on for 8 hours at a time but it was tricky to do it so my dh saw the fish in the evening! The pump was quite noisy too.
