Having read the previous posting regarding willow (drift wood) I just wanted to establish if the same would be true of dead willow tree root that has been submerged for a period of time in a gravel pit? I've currently got my eye on a root I found as a result of the water level having dropped...

Think I solved the mystery today, they sold me all females. When I got them there appeared to be 3 males in the bag but I sat and studied them today and noticed that they all appear to have a good strong colouring as opposed to being the almost translucent pinkie red they were when they were...

Can't say I've had a need to, large tank and low stock density. Might be worth a peek although I'd be dubious that they would go through the fine weave of the section I have on there. Especially seeing that I have free swimming daphnia or similar in the tank and I would guestimate these to be...

External filtration but I went as far as stealing a pair of my other halves tights to tie over the inlet so to prevent any off spring being drawn in. Should of seen the look she gave me when I disappeared with them in my hand :lol:

My cherry red females keep egging up yet only hold the eggs for a couple of days externally before they all vanish. Subsiquently I have no off spring yet. Is it anything I'm doing? The tank has zero fish in it so theoretically zero predation. The adults appear happy and I believe I has both male...

And the problem was ............?

Ceg I'll start by thanking you for explaining the problem, must admit I was a little confused to start with but I think I now understand. I guess I will have to rethink my plans as it's obviously going to be a bit of an uphill struggle.

Ceg perhaps my sizes were a little ambiguous. The actual body of water would only have a final depthe of no more then 20 inches. The external filter I will be using is rated for aquaria up to 330ltrs with a turn over of around 100lph, obviously this is based on the filter being clean and the...

I have just obtained an AquaOne Regency 80, main draw being the the overall dimensions plenty of scope for the greenery to grow tall, as it is something like 700mm in height. So anyway the question, the tank was supplied with two measly T8 x 20W tubes. Is this going to be sufficient to sustain a...

The reason why they suggest the master socket is simply due to the fact that they only cover the master socket as their circuit, all extensions are considered yours. This way they cover themselves for faults within the household and charge you extra to fix them. I think that there is a maximum...

I bet the best part of the construction was emptying those bottles :wink:

That's what I wanted to hear, thanks guys. :wink:

I'll give them a thimbs up too, just collect my lamps from them in person as they are only 10 miles from me. Well worth the drive seeing that I save in excess of £20 buying through them as opposed to the local aquarium outlet. :roll:

http://www.lampspecs.co.uk/ Just purchased some new lamps from here and they were happy for me to collect in person, so if anyone is in or near to Tolworth, KT6 7EW, and looking for replacement lamps give them a look.

I have no experience when it comes to inverts, but was of the impression that they are the cleaners of the tank (could be wrong) :oops: Would they be inclined to eat the fungal/mould blooms I have just noticed on a recently introduced lump of wood I have in one of my tanks? Anyone had any...
