Hi, Just wondered if anybody has tried the Eden 501 gravel cleaner? Sounds like a good idea to filter the water when cleaning the gravel as i tend to find i have not finished cleaning it when doing water changes. Thoughts appreciated.

Hi, Any tips on pruning moss to stop it going all over the tank. I appreciate i could remove the wood it is attached to but don't really want to disturb everything. Thanks.

It is the plastic coating coming off. Think it is thin perspex.

Hi, As you will see from the photos, on my gloss black Fluval cabinet the plastic coating is starting to come off at the edges. Does anybody know how to repair this please? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I want to paint the outside of the back of my tank black. Are there any paints that anybody can recommend please? Thanks.

Guess i should have said i have holes drilled in the bottom of the tank with vertical pipes as below, so i am looking for the "floating inlet pipe" to fit in that.

Hi, Do all Nerite Snails leave pesky white eggs on wood? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have posted a couple of threads which are no longer relevant. Is it possible for me to delete these? Thanks

Hi, I have a plant order arriving tomorrow, but wont be able to plant in the tank until the weekend. The potted plants are not a problem as i can put them straight in the tank which is cycling. However part of the order includes some Tropica 1-2-grow plants which are in the growing media...
