Does anyone know where I can get this from - I cant seem to find anywhere in the UK that has it :(

I have acquired a 240ltr Juwel tank which is to be a low tech, no co2 set up. The existing t8's I assume are pretty old and am looking to replace. I've looked at lamp specs.co.uk, from which I've bought t5's from, but not sure which t8's to get - oceanic light, flora or grolux - can any advise...

I'm looking for a new glass in tank diffuser. Nothing much wrong with my current one, other than the bubbles appear a little large now it's been going a while. Use of co2 isn't really an issue as I have a 6kg cylinder which lasts over a year & costs pennys to refill, so I've no concern...

Slightly random question, but I'm trying to find the name of a particular fish which I can't remember. About 1 inch long. Looks a bit like a small cichlid. Red vertical stripes Blue "shine" all over Males more colourful Blue trim to pectoral fin "hovers" in amongst plants at low level, have...

I am considering installing an inline heater, have read around & have just a few questions: Which one would you recommend? Will it increase (filter) noise? Will it reduce flow? Filter is an aquamanta efx400 (1400lph) - a decent filter, but probably not the quiestest - not an issue due to the...

After a couple of years of mixed success breeding CRS, I'm looking to breed a different shrimp - maybe something a little easier! I already have hundreds of cherrys. I seem to be having more problems finding sellers, than choosing a shrimp! Tigers are an option - the red ones look good, but...

A couple of CO2 questions: Full set up with ceamic diffuser bottom left under powerhead & spraybar. Drop checker other side of tank reasonably high. On 1.5 hours before lights, off 1hr before lights. Tiny bubbles everywhere whilst on. 186ltr (150 water) 1 - even at 5bps, the drop checker...

I'm about to set up my co2 system. I have a 6kg cylinder & an up 2 guage regulator. I'm looking for a little help to get going - when it's all set up, do I "open" the cyclinder fully?

Another CO2 newbie question! What liquid goes in the bubble counter?

I've just got one of these: http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/ae-desi ... -1757.html Dumb question I assume, but when placing in line, which way round does it go?

I'm currently setting up pressurised CO2. Looking at diffusers, I was going to get a glass one with ceramic ring, but am reading that inline diffusers are the way to go? Is that the recommendation? Tank holds 150ltr water, 1400lph external & 2x 1800lph powerheads.

I would like to buy an off the shelf pressurized CO2 system which can be upgraded in future. I've been looking at getting the JLB ProFlora m602 system. Can anyone provide a review? or suggest an alternative make?

I have a 186ltr tank (150ltr water) - 37x17x18. Planted. EFX400 external filter (1400lph) with the spraybar extended along the full length of the back, directed forward. I need a bit more flow around the bottom, so looking to get a powerhead to mount either on the left or right side - probably...

Planning a rescape of one on my tanks. It is a crs tank & looking for generally easy to grow, relatively low light plants with no CO2 added. Amongst others, I was considering one of the above - but which one should I go for?

I have breeding CRS in a 72ltr tank. It was my first tank & used to be a community tank with a few crs in it that started breeding. I have since moved all fish out, leaving the shrimp. I will be rescaping it & want to change the substrate to black. It is currently standard pea gravel, of...

I am about to take delivery of a 186ltr tank and have an Aquamanta efx400 for it. I've read that it may be worth replacing the sponges? I'm in 2 minds at the moment, whether to just set it up & see, or get some new media - can anyone recommend some media if I was to change it. Cheers

Can anyone recommend an auto feeder? Many thanks

I'm looking at automated dosing of ferts & CO2 for my 180ltr tank due soon. I'll be dosing 5ml of each per day. Current options are the eheim liquidoser, or peristaltic pumps. The proplem is, I know very little about setting up a peristaltic pump! I've read the threads I can find on the...

Anybody know where I can buy some of this? I can't seem to find it anywhere :(

I have been doing a lot of research re substrate for my next tank, & I've now got information overload!! I currently have plants growing in gravel with good results, but I'm looking for a plant substrate for my next tank (200ltr)& am unsure what to do. I will be using liquid ferts & CO2. There...

Hello, I am having a tank made (by Aquarium ltd). It is a standard rectangle & will hold 210 ltrs. It is my first venture into external filters & would like some recommendations please. I currently have a Fluval U3 (600lph) in my 72ltr tank (60ltrs water) - so x10 filtration (going by...

Hi, Looking at setting up a 3foot tank & looking at aquarium hoods - 36" x 15". I've looked at clearseal & majestic.... anyone have any other recommendations?..... Cheers

I'm setting up a 3ft tank (circa 100ltr) and was just thinking of fish ideas. Ph will be around 7-7.4. So far I've got: 2 Apistogramma cacatuoide 12 - 15 threadfin rainbows 12 - 15 rummynose tetra OR celestial pearl danios OR vietnamese white cloud minnows (can't decide yet?) 4 otocinclus 4...

My green neons all have NTD. 2 have gone and I expect the rest to die soon. I am trying to decide what to get next. They must be small and be able to live with my breeding CRS. I think I'm down to celestial pearl danios or endlers, but not sure which. What do you think?.......

Question one of my planned CRS only tank! Tank will be: Substrate colour - black 30ltr Lightly / moderately planted with a few non-demanding plants - moss, nana, sword, located around a central piece of bog wood. CRS only Tap / current tank water = pH 7.5. (Ideally don't want to use RO water if...

I have currently reduced the lighting levels in my tank in an attempt to combat some algae. It was aprrox 3wpg, & is now 1.5wpg. (2 x 24w t5, now 1 x 24w t5) I have some vallis, anubias nana, java moss, some grass looking stuff + a few others, which hopefully will be fine. I also have hc - it...

My tank has been running for about 4 months & I am beginning to get the above algae. It only seems to have appeared since I started adding liquid fertilizer for my plants about 1 month ago. I'd say it's medium planted. It's not major at the moment, but does seem to be increasing. The algae is...

Which one to get for my shrimp tank?? Or is there something else ?..............

Hi, I've recently tried a marina submersible micro led, but it was faulty (kept flickering & going off) & to be honest, didn't appear to offer much light (when it did turn on). So I'm now thinking of strip led's. Has anybody heard of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ...

I have a 72ltr capacity tank on the go for about 3 months now & I'm thinking about tank #2!! I have cardinal shrimp in with community fish & all is well, but I really like German Rams, but can't risk them eating my expensive shrimp!!... (plus I suspect that the existing fish will have a go at...

A brief history: My tank holds 60ltrs of water: Thought my old filter was on way out (Aquael fan 2 plus - 450lph) ...... Bought new (better?) Fluval U3 filter (600lph)..... Put new one in tank with old one ..... Reduced power a bit on both.... Did I do right? If so, how long will it take for...

Hi, I've had a fish tank for about 2 months and started populating after a fishless cycle of 3 weeks, so I'm new to this! Could anyone plaese advise regarding my shrimp; I don't want to get too excited, but I do believe one of them is carrying babies, or a baby at least?! She has been hiding...

Hi, I have a planted tank with fish & shrimp in it. The plants are planted directly into gravel. The tank has been going for about 6 weeks - I have added no fertilizers of any kind. Most of the plants are doing fine, though my grass stuff is yellowing a bit & my hc isn't coming on as I'd...

Hello, I am new to all this aquarium stuff and would be grateful for some advice.... I've recently susccessfully completed a fishless cycle and stocked my tank with 7 rummies & then 10 ember tetras. All is going well so far with good water readings. I couldn't resist getting a couple of...

Hello all, About to venture into the world of keeping fish! I'm thinking of starting with a 2ft tank - for tropical fish with some plants. I'm designing my aquascape at the moment and lokking fo a tank! I've seen the Aquael Brillux 60, which sounds good, but I can't find any reviews - can...
