Went into my local Pets@Home in Chichester, and there was absolutely no sign of any Coopet Nano tanks. Looks like i need to post up a Wanted thread. Sam

So is it safe to assume that these are no longer stocked at P@H stores? I've even searched ebay for these tanks with no luck. Cheers, Sam

Bumping an oldish thread, But any updates to this amazing looking tank? Sam

Thanks for the responses, Forgot to mention i will be using 4*24w T5 tubes, which will be comprised of 2 x 2*24w T5, Both controlled independently from each other, which will be Dimmable too. Other lights will be comprised of GHL Full Weather Simulation sticks and Full Weather Simulation Spot...

Hi All, Soon to be setting up my Planted Discus tank. I have 5ft*2ft of sand bed to cover, but i want to keep the front open for swimming space. I would like low maintenance plants, but i can add CO2 and Fertz (if need be) with ease as the tank will be GHL Profilux controlled. The tank is 30"...

Had a look for one of these today in my Local P@H, to discover a big gap on the shelf, Although, would have been interesting trying to get one home on the back of my bike. Sam

Cheers for that, That makes sense. I've been offered a brand new Oase Ecomax 6000 for £100, which is what i plan on using, Although i do wonder if it's a little too powerful, especially for Discus. Would it be wise or sensible to have one 40mm Down and one 40mm Return, and block off the 34mm...

Erm, Hopefully it wasn't worded like that, but i did say, twin 40mm Down pipes, and currently a single 21.5mm Return. But i've been warned that if i use pipe that's too small, i will have pressure issues which could cause a leak. The question was then, What would be the best way to decrease the...

Hi All, I've come to a dead stop with the planning of my new Planted Discus tank. It's an ex Marine ND Aquatics 60*30*24 tank, 2 wiers, with 2 40mm Downpipes (63mm Bulkhead) And the return pipe work was B&Q 21.5mm Waste pipe (21.5mm Bulkhead/34mm size hole in glass) Looking into Weir: Whole...

Thanks Radik, A Short and Sweet answer answers both my questions. All i need now is an Aluminium box, and some plugs/switches. Cheers Sam

Hi All, For my new build, i plan on using 2 2*24w Dali Dimmable ballasts connected to my GHL Profilux. I plan on using 2 of these: Osram Quicktronic Dali Ballast I've read around that some ballasts can cause Interference for standard Radio/TV, would these cause any interference? I would also...

Welcome to the Forums. Sam

Your tank looks stunning fella, i look forward to more updates. Sam

A nice looking tank, And good looking Discus too. One thing i've learned with Discus, is dark backgrounds/substrates can lead to Peppering. I had 2 Blue Diamonds with black substrate, and i did get small amounts of Peppering on them. Good luck. Sam

Thanks. I had kinda decided i would buy my plants from The Green Machine, but i know there are other places. One thing i should add is i plan on buying a Vortech MP10 for added circulation. Sam
