I'm thinking SE Asian with Harlequins, Khulis and the odd barb or rasbora. Got an empty four footer above it so I might save the tetras for that. Too many posibilities :?

I picked up a brand new Juwel Rekord 60 yesterday for the pleasing sum of £25. Champion. I'm old school when it comes to tanks and I'm not really into these fashionable 'Origami' style set ups :lol: Any ideas folks? I want to keep it low tech and I'm thinking dark Amazon basin with Lemon...

I've found the Hydor for under £37 so thats looking good. I'd like some glass inflow and outflow pipes too so I can hide things a bit. Visitherm heaters have always served me well and their 50w model is only 6" long. Winner.

Try installing the newest version of firefox. I did the right click thing and it worked fine :wink: Can anyone tell me whay they used to stop the tank getting messed up when they poured the water in? It wasnt that clear from the pic.

It just hit me actually that the internal, at 200lph wasnt going to be up to the task. Never could get on with the Eheim classics (thanks for the link though!) so I had a look at the Eden 501. I like the idea of that with glassware but I heard that it needs to be the same level as the tank to...

Cool. Were you using CO2 at all mate? If so, if you could let me know some details on that (and anything else) that would be ace :D

Hey, I got this little cube for my birthday, last March :lol: and as yet haven't set it up. I'd like to set it up in coming weeks but figured I'd ask on here for some ideas and suggestions, regarding what to do with it. http://www.animal-paradise.co.uk/catalo ... ucts_id=41 Its going to be...

Ha ha :lol: The only problem I can see is if it backfired and they became better at it than us. Dunno about you guys but I wouldnt hear the last of it! :lol:

Would a surface skimmer not work? Obviously you'd need an external to work one though. :wink:

lol..me too :lol:

Did you have to make a hole in the water butt for the float valve etc?

I used to have this problem when my main tank was set up before. I overflowed the water butt (in dining room) twice and then overflowed the tank by pumping water into it and forgetting to turn the pump off. Animal house do an alarm with a probe to alert you of rising or falling water levels. I...

I had a Fluval 4 internal behind my background as well as a 2128 and a Fluval 303 filtering the tank. Old school..lol The tank how it was in the first pic was more luck than judgement. I just tried things that I either thought might work or that had worked in the past. I've learnt so much since...

Thanks mate thats awesome, very helpful :P My background isnt as 'big' as yours so removing it (in theory) should be easier. Its one of those things that I only want it gone due to practicalities as I really like it. I'll try and remove it without damaging it if possible. Failing that I might...

Re: shirley aquatics Thanks John. Just had a look at it a minute ago as the stand didnt look right. Seems the wood has warped from when the tank flooded so I think I'll need to buy a new cabinet :roll: Yeah thats the one. I think I'm going to remove it as I'm convinced it caused a lot of...

Did you have one of 'those' backgrounds in the tank as well? And if so how did you remove it. I need to find out loads more stuff before the tank gets set up again and this seems like the right place :P

Hey, yeah its an Effect Line 720 and the bane of my life. Purchased from the wonderful and helpful Shirley Aquatics many moons ago. I'm currently debating what to do with the background as something tells me it was responsible for a lot of the problems I had. One of the balasts blew and...

I'm new to this forum so I thought I'd say hey. Although I've had a couple of tanks running I lost a lot of interest in fish keeping, especially after nothing but problems with my main tank (pictured) But after realising that although I cant live with them, I cant live without them either. So...
