    Frag rack to suspend houseplants at the waterline ?

    I have the surface pretty much covered with floating plants already so I was as thinking of having house plants sticking out of the water.

    Frag rack to suspend houseplants at the waterline ?

    Has anyone used a frag rack like this or the corner equivalent to suspend bare rooted house plants in the top of a tank? If the holes are a bit wide I would probably wrap the stems in a bit of floss My husband has said he’s arranging a holiday and a friend will be pet sitting for us. They...

    My DIY Automatic Water Changes

    We use a pond pump on our tank to drain it down. We attach it to the glass wall of the tank at the level we want to drop the water to. We turn the pump on to get a siphon going then turn it off is the plug and let the water siphon out slowly. The water won't drop below the pump. Pump cost...

    JBL Reg Fault m001

    Even so, the replacement should still be under warranty.

    JBL Reg Fault m001

    If it is new it must be under some form of warranty. I think jbl give two or three years on their products. If you take it back to the shop the may be able to test it on another bottle for you and swap it out or can explain your options

    90 dg's scissor?

    These? http://wap.ebay.co.uk/Pages/ViewItem.as ... rs&emvcc=0 I've taken to wearing a vest top and shiny plastic apron to work on my fishtank. Even with long handled scissors I end up soaked as the tank is extra deep.. DH and the kids think the outfit is hilarious but it works and the pinny...

    hydor external heater malfunction

    I lost a whole tank to a malfunctioning heater during that really hot summer in 2006. Water was extremely hot when I found it. Had cooked all the fish. You are so lucky to have spotted it.

    That's awful. Hope the losses are restricted to a few fish.

    Does the entire base of the tank need support?

    Probably worth putting some sort of protective cover on the top of the dresser. We had a similar setup (although our chest of drawers was wider than the tank). I was always careful to mop up drips but a tiny bit of water got under one corner. When we removed the tank we found the water...

    Internal Heaters (top quality)

    If you are looking for a nano heater the Eheim Jagers are probably out as they are extra long but also more efficient e.g. a 250w Jager can heat the same size tank as a 300w standard one. Don't know if the same applies at lower wattages. Great heaters though.

    New 500l tank project plans

    I did look into a covered sump but was still concerned that the kids would get into it. If the sump could be setup so that there was very little splashing and it was covered you could probably minimse co2 loss. The tank designer can probably give you the best advice on how to achieve this.

    New 500l tank project plans

    If you have the cash. Two filters in each half would give you redundancy from a flow perspective. If one fails the other would still move the water in that side of the tank. Too many years in IT brainwashed into considering redundancy in everything. Positioning 3 filters to get even flow over...

    New 500l tank project plans

    I'm no expert but for filtration, I guess you will need to treat this as though it is two smaller tanks to get good circulation. Can't see how you'd get decent flow round the front corner otherwise. Couple of the bigger filters like the FX5 or ideally the eheim equivalent should be ok On a...

    Aqua 40 or Aqua One cr320

    I had an aqua 40 as a shrimp tank for a while. Swapped the superfish filter out for a sponge as the shrimplets kept getting into it. It was fine until a ladder got dropped on it. If you intend to keep rock mountain shrimp you will definately need a covered tank. Mine used to escape (chicken...
