Hi Everyone, I recently (3 days ago) purchased a long nose butterfly fish, I woke up this morning and it has about 10-15 white dots (could almost be described as particles of sand or air bubbles) on it? I have checked my tank levels and everything is good. PH was a little low 7.8 but I soon added a PH booster which brought it to 8.0-8.2 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 10 Temp 26.7 consistent. Please help? I have some photos of it but I'm not too sure how to post them? Regards, Fraser

Thanks so much for help me with this! its been concerning me quite a bit, I don't want to have an unreliable tank. I think the most sensible solution would be to get a water chiller? do you know where I can pick up a cheap one? (do you have any expirence with chillers? i.e. what brand is good, what to look for etc) I have plans in a year to upgrade my tank to a 150 liter so I guess planning ahead by getting a chiller that will suit that would be sensible.

The room temp is around 21-23 so not more than the tank. do anyone out their have a cheap chiller? maybe that would be my only effective solution. Its weird I must add my flastmate has a tank in the same room (its huge 1300cm long 800cm high 600cm wide) it is fresh water (where as mine is Salt/marine) and his is always consistent at 26 (his thermometer is set at 26) and he doesn't have a chiller or anything... it is because mine is a smaller tank (40.3 cm Long 48.4cm wide 46.0cm High) or because my tank is marine/salt?

Hi Everyone, I recently purchased a nano marine tank (approx 1 week ago) and I am having some I am having some major problems with heating in the tank. Its getting too hot, on average its 29 Celsius and it goes up to 31-32 during the day. I have tried everything to cool it down. I've tried: -taking all the pumps out and then tested them individually in a separate tank to see if one was over heating, -turning the lights off - leaving the entire top open all day and night (as well as trying to leave just the flap at the front open) -taking the thermostat out (it is still currently out) -moving the tank to other areas of the house, on difference surfaces, out of direct sun light etc.. Basically I have tired all I can think of. Can someone please help? I have looked all over the internet for solutions BUT no one has really offered anything
