    tank dimensions

    Thanks for the speedy reply, I think thats why I was asking about the different ways to measure as I don't think I can get a 36" long x 15" wide x 12" high tank as standard? so my math as below, is it right 36(b) x 12(a) x 15(c) = 6480 cubic inches 1 cubic inch = 0.004329 US gallons 6480...

    tank dimensions

    Hi all, I have looked around for a while but cannot find an answer to this: How do you measure a fishtank? (and don't say with a ruler!) I've seen it described several ways and I need clarification because I want to work out the weight, also do I use imperial gal or US gallons? Is it...

    willow / twisted willow branch

    Quick update: Nearly three weeks now. Willow branches still in there; I have wrapped java moss around them now. The branches are starting to lose the "fluffy" end caps. I am however getting an "oily" appearance on the top of the water; I 'm assuming that it’s coming from these branches...

    willow / twisted willow branch

    I've taken half a dozen cuttings between 6" and 8" from my neighbours tree, shhhh! don't tell him, he's a big bugger. Anyway I have stripped off the leaves and bound them all together at one end in a "fan" shape and because they are all twisted it kinda gives the effect of a root mass. They are...

    willow / twisted willow branch

    Hi all, This is more of a "can I / can't I" kinda question. I have seen several posts on the web regarding willow branches added to the tank for the removal of algae blooms. I quite like the look of willow and twisted willow branches in the fishtank, kinda looks like roots. Is it safe to keep...
