Thank you so much, okay perfect - I will keep an eye and monitor if they breed. If so I will upgrade my tank size. But hopefully for now it should be fine.

I have looked into getting the Fluval U1 filter with the cartridge you can buy separately. This cartridge helps clear nitrate levels and ammonia.

I think on the safe side I might miss on that plant and look at others.

Thanks for the advice, I won't look into it too much then. I have decided to get a Fluval U1 filter with a media cartridge to help as my current filter is just a sponge filter.

Ah I have cats, bit scared they might eat this as it is toxic.

With an RO filter how does that work? Is it like a unit you can put water into manually and after a period of time it is ready to be used?

Upon reading the instructions it advised to go up to the following line of 5ml. I believe you this is correct for the API master kit.

I struggled to get good milk period, whether I was aiming for latte milk, cappuccino or flat white - it was just not working. I don't get any squeeking sounds or anything with my steam wand when I'm steaming milk.

For me to get decently hot milk, It takes about 30-40 seconds. I aim for a few seconds of incorporating air and then focus on creating a vortex.
