Dark said:The heater was set to 18degC and kept the tank at a lovely 26degC (because the strips take a little while to adjust during temperature changes & the heater put out a lot of heat in that time wouldn't the temp fluctuate between below 18degC and 26degC ? When the heater finally stopped putting out heat the temp would have to drop to below 18degC for the thermostat to come back on again? Must have been out of calibration due to bimetal warping ? Robbo

Hi Midas, the bimetal is probably warped over a period of time. Open the heater up and reshape the bimetal. A bit of trial and error maybe but should work fine. Cheers Robbo Alan said"giving the electrodes a rub down with emery paper" I wouldn't use emery paper cause you want as flat a contact surface as you can get. We used to use the round part of a crochet hook and smoothen the contact surface. Hope this helps? Robbo

Hi there fellow fishy people, I have recently aquired 2 skunk botia. They are in a tank with platys, guppies and black neons. I have read that they are really nasty towards any other fish but sofar have had no problems ! Has anyone kept these and what sort of problems have you encountered? Any info would be appreciated, Robbo

Hi Ballistic welcome to the best fishy place you can find. Breeding Krebensis sounds nice, will try myself at some stage. For now I stick to the easy ones, guppies and platys. Good luck and talk to you soon in one of the threads. Robbo

Hi Fishnut, my lfs told me to treat water as per instruction and leave water as is for a week. Then change water as per normal and filter out leftover Methylene blue with active carbon or other filtration. Hope this helps, Robbo
