New tank setup now. The old one was just too small and I decided to get a bigger tank so I could get slightly bigger fish.

At the moment I am having problems with Algae. My phosphates are very high and no matter how much treatment I add to the tank the phosphate and algae stay put.

When buying my fish I did a lot of searching through the Internet and reading up about them. Seeing if they were compatible with the next fish and also seeing what water quality they liked. Although its good to do this you can get bogged down by the sheer number of different suggestions and recommendations you get. In the end its you that has to make the decision. Don't buy on impulse as allot of shop keepers can overwhelm you and know that you are lacking in knowledge.
I had one try a fast one with me. I just told him I would read up about it and come back to buy it, if that was the case...It wasn't and I never went back.

Maintain and keep an eye on your water and you should have a healthy and attractive tank that you and your friends can enjoy.
