Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie here, and have just got a tank and fish, mainly for the children, but I'm a bit besotted with them to be honest.
We got the tank a few weeks ago, and we've had the fish in it since Sunday. We got six harlequin rasboras to start with, and they're lovely little things! They're quite sparkly, which I like, and they seem to really like playing with the water coming out of the pump, and when I change the water and pour the new stuff in, they really like that as well!
I've been reading all the information about cycling and cleaning and water changing, and I hope I'm getting it right so far, but I could really do with a recommendation for a water testing kit that will test for everything I need to, and be reasonably good value. I don't mind a reasonable initial outlay, if what I'm buying is good stuff. But it's paying £5 for four rubbish test strips that I object to!
I've also looked at several of the photos in the gallery, and you all have some lovely, lovely tanks and fish!
