Hello,
I'm Tony Wilson from Plymouth (UK). I'm a Royal Navy Submariner as a Marine Engineer. I'm 23, been married for 2 months to Kirsty Wilson and we have 2 kids, Steven (5 Years) and Holly (8 Months).
I bought a pretty big aquarium with all the bits and bobs for a very good price and i'm really getting into this hobby. My wife is slowly taking to it too and my boy loves it.
My fish have slowly been dying for a couple of weeks now so i went to my local aquarium to ask where i was going wrong, they sampled my water and the pH is down to 6.0 and Ammonia is off the chart (really dark Green). I bought a DPI Master testing kit, some gravel which raises the pH and a few other bits and bobs. I'm at work at the moment but as soon as i get home i'll be taking 40% of the water out and filling with fresh water and sampling all the time. Hopefully my fish might get better.
I saw some crabs in the local aquarium and they got me thinking, how i would love to have some for my collection but after much research on the internet crabs are mostly for Marine and not tropical aquariums, but found a few pages on the hammersmith cobalt blue lobster (Hope i spelt it right). I really like this idea so might be adding one of them, has anyone else here kept one of these?
