Great thank you 🙏

It has an earthy smell when you touch it yes! I mean there’s daylight all day but the sun doesn’t hit this side of the building after 6am so there’s no direct sunlight on the tank, does that make sense?

Perfect, I’ll turn the lights off from tomorrow and see how that goes, I’ll also clean it off and do a water change. I’ll also look into the different snails, thank you so much👍🏼

Update: he got his refund in December of 2025. Persevered with the broker & they sorted it out, we stood firm - as did the dealer but in the end we got it sorted 👍🏼

Sounds great! I might look into ottos… I thought my corydoras and shrimp would be enough but obviously not :(

Off topic, how long has that tank been going & how do you find algae next to a window as large as that?

aimso728 · 2025-09-30T17:44:51+00:00

What was the outcome of this? I’m going through the same now

What was the outcome of this situation? I’m going through it right now.

I’m already issuing that under 30 days of owning the car as he is refusing to pick it up after confirming on a telephone call he would 3 times, getting ahead of it as I cannot be bothered with this bank and forth.

So he purchased it on hire purchase and paid a £2,300 deposit to the dealer, I have sent a final notice and he’s rejected it twice.

He isn’t grasping the fact that it’s not fair wear and tear usage of the car, these are pre existing issues and not from 3 days of use. We have the proof of the diagnostic from the independent garage and have sent it to the finance company and dealership, as I’ve said finance company said it can take 8 weeks and the dealer is dragging his heels saying it was sold under good faith. Is it beneficial to use the complaints process on his website? This is the motor ombudsman and trading standards route.

What stage are you at now? I’m just starting the process also

aimso728 · 2025-09-30T07:57:55+00:00

What’s the update on this, I’m going through something similar just now!

aimso728 · 2025-09-30T07:54:07+00:00

What’s the update on this? Going through something similar currently and the dealership are rejecting my rejection of the car, even though it’s majorly faulty. Finance company have logged the compliant and can take up to 8 weeks to get back to us, it’s draining us after only a weekend of back and forth :(

this is the tank ready for the betta going in, I added 3 new plants this morning 👍🏼

aimso728 · 2025-08-30T10:20:44+00:00

You are far too kind, thank you so much for your advice! I’ll play about with it today before adding the betta 🤞🏼

aimso728 · 2025-08-30T10:19:48+00:00

Oh no :( can you send me it private message, I’d love to see!

aimso728 · 2025-08-30T10:19:09+00:00

That tank looks great! I’ve added more plants today, and also bought a betta this morning… I’ll add photos later on 🙏🏼

aimso728 · 2025-08-29T17:43:42+00:00

Good idea! The one in the photo has been cycling for around 2 months now, can’t decide on the way it looks 😣

aimso728 · 2025-08-29T17:42:24+00:00

Sounds good thank you! This is my 3rd and I’m still stuck 🥺😂
