Well I have 3 x 3 foot tanks all split into 3 , I can’t do different waters etc ( black water style ) as the filtration is the same for all three ( in one end out the other ) but I can do a mix. I might do one rack all the same but going through the dividers , one rack so all three are totally...

Hi. Thanks for the comments although I’m not sure if I explained myself on the three split tanks , the dividers will stay in place but I wasn’t sure whether to do 3 separate aquascapes or try and incorporate the look of one big one but split into 3 ( ie cut wood branches where the dividers are...

Hi all, not sure if this is the right place to ask so many questions but it’s a good place to start. I am currently in the process of changing my fish room from marine (sorry) to freshwater. I used to have a nano planted tank years ago and so after 15 years of marine I’m changing back. Anyway ...

Hi Michael, I wasn't sure on the flow rates as it sounded over the top to me however I thought the lily pipes migt slow it down or if not I can turn the flow down on the filter. I used to breed fighters years ago until the mrs "asked " me to get rid of some of my tanks, so I know how delicate...
