Thank you, I was really upset about my fish dying .. it’s was watching them suffer that made me feel bad, I went to the shop Where I bought some of the fish and they tested my water, they said it was perfect no problems, and have offered to reimburse all the fish I’ve lost, which is not too bad, while I was there I noticed two of the tanks were quarantined so they did know that there was a problem when they sold me the fish, my friend also bought some fish on the same day and she lost all hers, that’s the only reason why I contacted the shop because I knew something was not right, Regarding setting up a under gravel filter please visit Dr Kevin Novak’s channel about setting up a Plenum, Using anoxic Filter system, he really knows his stuff, just the two experiments that I’ve done between the two tanks, the one with the under gravel filter is so much better than the one without so really speaks for itself, He talks about a slow-moving plenum and all it is, is a slight tweak of the under gravel filter, just cut the inlet pipe to around 3 inches, and turn the airflow down, he calls it a slow moving plenum, I’m binge watching his videos I’ve found him extremely interesting, he does tend to lecture but like I said in my video he’s a very clever man, good luck with your tank, I’m sorry to hear about your fish too it’s heartbreaking isn’t it, all the hard work that we put into it.

Thanks for the advice. I'll watch Novak's channel. Looking forward to your updates on your plenum.

So sorry you lost your fish. I remember after a Hurricane in my area they over treated our tap water so when I did a water change my fish started dying. It can be frustrating. I just started cleaning an old tank, I think I will do an under-gravel filter like you suggested along with an external filter with bio wheels. Good luck in getting your tank clear😊 I am hoping to have the tank set up in a week so I can start adding fish in about a month.

You need real plants too, not just an underground filter.

I agree, I’m going to try to add more plants.. but the ones I’ve added have gone brown and don’t look good

@@166sue Sorry about your plants not working. A lot of plants don't work for me because my waters hard and my lights are not strong. But I got water Wisteria, Bacopa, Crypt Wendtii, Anubias, and Dwarf Sag and Jungle Val to grow.

@@tanyaroberson9629 I’ll give them ago .. thanks for the tip, I’ve got a Fluval Led light, which you can adjust to different colour light setting and different programs.. it’s complicated for me to suss out I’ve just set it to automatically adjust throughout the day, I never had any problems 20 years ago when I kept an aquarium, it was just sit back and watch and enjoy, something, somewhere has gone wrong… That’s why I’m gonna go back to basics, and the under gravel filter and plenum gives me some hope of being able to keep fish, As I wright this while away at my caravan, my son has just let me know I’ve lost yet another fish, but on the other hand Finley’s doing great his colours have come back and now swimming happily around his tank, I know he’s only a fish but it’s good to know I’ve helped keep him stay alive, and I want to good for all my fish in my care
