    'Magic Fish' Instant Killifish in a box!

    Hi guys, I've just come across a post on PFK about a relatively new 'science toy' aimed at the younger generation. It's marketed under the same category as so called 'instant pets' such as Sea Monkeys and Triop sets. I was quite shocked that these kits are being sold in this way, with little...

    The poor quality of LFS's

    Anybody else have this problem or is it just me? Every independent local fish shop I've visited recently has been pretty sub-standard for fish, and for the planted aquarium they are utter useless! Pets at home seem to be the best for quality and selection, with both livestock and plants! I...

    Cube Aquascapes

    Hi guys, I've had my humble P@H cube tank cycling for a while now, giving me time to decide what direction I want to go with it. I've read and learnt lots from reading journals on here and also researching plant choice, but I'd like a bit of inspiration for this cube shape as I can't make my...

    P@H Cube - Forgotten Realm (Rescape Looming!)

    Hey guys, I just got my hands on the P@H coopet 27 litre cube. Very hard to get hold of, I had to ring around 4 stores before managing to find 1 in stock. i got it after hearing such good things about it on here, and was never happy with my piddly 10 litre tank. I've not decided how I'm going...

    10 Litre Nano

    Hi guys, I've recently liberated a tiny old 10 litre tank from my girlfriends parents garage. It came complete with a hood but no lighting, so I ordered a few of those LED strips you see on eBay and wired it all up. I've gone for 2 white, 1 blue, and 1 red. It seems bright enough for viewing...
