Hello I'm new to planted tanks and was wondering which is best to buy:- T8 or T5? What's the difference? Would I have to buy a starter unit for T5's (I know you can for T8's) Thanks for your time and expertise

Sorry I don't know what you mean?

he's about 4.5inches at the mo including his tail, he's mostly been growing outwards/getting fatter over the last month. They've been known to grow 1inch per month over the first year and it takes about 5 years to get to their fully grown size of 2.5ft including the tail! They also live for 15+...

No Mbu's are strictly freshwater all their life, that'd be very expensive in salt if he was Brackish :D

Thanks you everyone for your responces, your help is much appreaciated My aim was to not use Co2 and to have fairly low lighting to keep electric costs down so I'm thinking of going for Crypts and spending the money on expensive substrate (which hopefully will pay off) ps Puffers are crazy for...

So once it grows to long the plants below that cannot get any light will just die and break up into the water right? Would they not break down and feed the growing plants above?

Thanks for the replies guys :D So if I didn't trim the plants you mentioned and the lower leaves died would this be a problem or could I just leave them to grow as they wanted (I don't mind it looking overgrown)? Would the dwarf hairgrass be ok just lo leave growing without trimming? Also...

Hey Guys I'm going to build a huge tank in the future for my Mbu Puffer and have decided to change the dimentions of the tank from 10w x4d x4h to 10w x5d x3h as I've been told it'd be hard to get light through 4ft of water. This will give me 1122usG, a Mbu's minimum tank size is 1000usG when...

Re: Check out these LED panels! I'm thinking of using them over Just so you know guys, I've posted this thread on about 5 different forums just to get a wide scale of feedback and I just got one guy reply who has bought both kinds of LED fixtures from both sellers! In short he said the 4ft...

Re: Check out these LED panels! I'm thinking of using them over Not sure if they reallky are the best LED's but in the first one they state that they've tested loads of LED's and these are the best?! These one's are red and blue LED's by the same people but they say the light output/floor...

Re: Check out these LED panels! I'm thinking of using them over Thanks for replying Peter What ever I find out about these LEDS I'll let you know :D

Hey Guys Has anyone tried these out? I know a lot of people have been doing some DIY LED lighting projects but just thought I'd post this as:- They're a good price, use hardly any watts, put out loads of light and last 10years! You get 3 12.25inch x 12.25inch square panels, each covered in...

To be honest South American Puffers are known for having the fastest growing teeth out of all the kinds of pufferes there are. I find it hard to keep enough snails for him to eat plus his favourate food at the moment is Bloodworm which is doing nothing for his teeth. Even if you feed him...

Hey UK guys Where can I buy cheap MS 222 / TRICAINE-S / Finquel Anaesthetic in the UK? I need to trim my South American Puffers teeth and need to knock him out to do so Some people use Clove oil but I don't want to use that as it causes BRAIN DAMAGE! Please help Thanks ps I found this site...

Thanks for the nice comments guys :D It's been a while since I've been on here but here's a few vids of my Frogfish. He has now changed from bright yellow to a knid of orangy/peachy colour to match the Live Rock he's surrounded by As you can see I can watch my fish and tv from my bed :D...

Hey Guy's I just thought I'd show you my new Frogfish :D

Hey Guys I recently came across some vids of a Mantis Shrimp destroying a crab and have decided I need one :) Does anyone from the UK have one and can you give me advise as to where I can get one (UK shops/UK websites Suppliers etc) Thanks

Hey Ed Looking at these pix of the 3 Vortex I cannot see how the water is taken from the top of one Vortex and put into the next. Surely if they are only linked by the pipe at the bottom that creates the wirlpool the dirt will travle through to the next Vortex wouldn't it?

I emailed the guy and he said each Vortex holds approx 170gallons, he also thinks the max flow is 3000GPH

Thanks again Ed for getting back to me Yeah I was thinking of just having 1 return pipe I'll defenatly split it like you said, I'd like it to go into 3 to be honest, 1 returning water at each end of the tank and 1 leading to the middle back of the tank and going into a huge spray bar I'll...

OK I've just redone my calculations to what the guy in the MFK link has as they are for pipes not just a hole:- Maximum Gravitational Vertical Flow - This is what we look for when sizing drains or DIY overflows. The flow under the power of gravity reaches a maximum in the same way an object...

I also got this link http://www.reefcentral.com/calc/drain.php I'm not sure if it's US gallons or UK/Imperial gallons Assuming it's UK/Imperial here's my sums 7500 litres = 1650 uk gallons 1650 uk gallons divided by 8 = 206.25 uk gallons per pipe 206.25 uk Gallons per Hour = 0.59 inches drain...

If anyones intrested in finding this out I just got a great link from this guy that has worked it all out http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forum ... p?t=205645

Hey Guys Not sure if this is in the correct section of the Forum so sorry if it's not I need to work out how many gallons/litres per hour a 2inch tube will allow to flow through it Is there some formula to work it out?! The reason I need to know is I'm going to have a total of 8 2inch pipes...

lol yeah that seems to be most people's biggest obstacle when building a huge tank...The Wife :)

I've been told I could get away with using my current 55ukg as a sump for the 1200ukg What do you guys think? It's to scale so the Bio balls is about 1.5ft I've been thinking about it today and I was thinking it'd be best to go for overkill with the filteration. I'm thinking of having a...

In a year he'll be 1ft, 2 years and he'll be 1.5ft, 5/6 years and he'll be 2.5ft (and that's just his body including his tail fin he'll probably be around 30inches!)

Hey Gratts Thanks for the info on the Moss, much appreciated :) My Mbu Puffer is called Naboo after the charactor from The Mighty Boosh, I also have a South American Puffer called Bollo Naboo is only 3.5inches at the moment including his tail, they're suppose to grow an inch per month for...

Hello All I was recommended this site from some one on aquaticplantcentral.com as they said you'd be best to answer these questions. Basically I'm getting a 10ftx4ftx4ft 1200uk gallon tank for my Mbu Puffer who will be 2.5ft when fully grown I need to know what lighting and how much to light...
