Melamine sponges for acrylic tanks are the real deal though if anyone is rocking acrylic.

Loads on google just have a quick search for "white scouring pads" the 3m or scotch brite will be better quality but it all does the same job, i like them for the pyrex in the kitchen.

The Hydor is like the only option when it comes to in-line heaters really, also you can at a push do maintenance on them yourself if you are a handy individual including gasket replacement etc. Other than inlines i use eheim jagers the old faithful but even those don't last that long for me, my...

Yes you can, run the diffuser after the heater unit in the outflow, hydors are good, knockof inlines suck and aren't worth the saving you get, hydor all the way.

I don't think i have seen anything like this, generally spraybars need suckers, i would love to see someone manufacture the idea you have, it would look super aesthetic, maybe E-mail some of the smaller glass manufacturers (Mig-A is one that comes to mind) or chihiros and enquire about the idea?

I've had a few heaters stick on over the years, a couple of visitherms, and an eheim jager, but i always caught it in time luckily, never had a in-line heater stick on, just had a hydor leak once due to old O-rings.

I'm using hydor in-line knockoffs with LED temperature panels on the heater, they work well but need calibrating with a good thermometer, they also come with 3 sets of fittings for different diameter tubing.

You will probably struggle to find a sand with the quality of colour variations as La Plata, but any of the lighter tone pool filter sands should be a good 2nd best. I don't have any insurance against water damage, i don't even think i'm covered to have aquariums in my flat... :o

that's what i did when my 130L emptied, i had to keep literally everything fish and plants in a huge bucket for 5 days, nothing died though so it obviously worked.

Heartbreaking Barbara!:banghead: Don't be disheartened, i know how much having a spill can hurt your resolve, unfortunately i can't help with where to buy as i'm in london and have never even been to sheffield, but i hope someone from a bit further north will chip in with some recommendations...

Right now my current cost is 54p per pot and rockwool plug, wondering if i can find them cheaper elsewhere or wholesale maybe? cheers for any help in advance.

I honestly don't know if you can, someone else may be able to enlighten you, the problem with most of these disposable sets is the cylinders all differ slightly, and either have a non standard threading, or a proprietary standoff distance which prevents it being used with standardised parts...

i bought some hydor inline knockoffs, the ones with the digital display, they are £30 each, they seem fine so far but it's still early days, and you have to calibrate them with a thermometer.

Ive used blackboard paint in the past, and it is easy enough to remove with a razor blade too. Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk

Concrete can work in a tank, look at the tank on this video with all concrete rocks.

Atleast you tried will, part of the reason i hate glass is because i have gorilla hands and break everything... :lol::lol:

Aquamate silicon, don't get any of the stuff from B&Q or Screwfix as they all have anti fungals or hygiene chemicals in them.

i totally see your point, it is effort vs reward, i would always recommend to buy on a credit card to cover yourself, but if the tank is worth anywhere upwards of 400 quid small claims is viable, if you keep letting companies get away with blahblahblahblah like this then they will keep on doing it to hobbyists.

I would have gone to small claims if they didn't give a replacement or full refund for sure.

mine gets warm, but definately not too hot to touch!

ive got the TMC aquagro straight scissors and tweezers, cant fault em, really nice and finely engineered.

which luminaire off ebay was it? if it was EQJ trading a lot of people use those and id be worried about the fire risk, any ideas on how it caught fire?
