Is anyone here good at calculating the cost of electricity? I'm looking into starting a small tank at uni with gear I already have, but on such a small budget, I need to know how much it's gonna cost to run. Basically the system would have a light (24w for 8 hours), a solenoid-run CO2 unit...

Is it possible to run a Juwel tank with just one bulb? One of mine has just blown, and I only want one bulb really anyway. Is it possible to bypass the blown one so the other works?

Anyone here good with electrics? I'm looking to change the plugs of my Dennerle lights to UK plugs, and possibly combine them into just one plug. It says 230v on the plug, so does it actually need an adapter or anything? Can I just swap it for a regular plug? What would I do for fuses? It...

Is there a way to work out what size powerhead I would need to make a little 10-12" high waterfall in my crestie viv? I'm thinking a 200lph (that could poss be turned down) would be the best bet just from guesswork, but has anyone got any opinions?

Hi all, I'm looking to replace my 4ft Malawi tank with something a little less scratched, and the dimensions I need are 48"L x 15"W x20"H. I can't seem to find anything this size - even a Clearseal, and that's my kinda budget! Anyone got any ideas where to buy one? I'd rather not get a 2nd...

:D (ignore the tank on the floor, nothing in it!!!) Tom

I have decided I want a good quality 60cm tank and stand, but no way am I going to pay aquaessentials prices for them.... so.... DIY it is. I started the stand yesterday. I got a whole sheet of 12mm plywood, which was about £20. The top, bottom and both sides were routed to make lap joints so...
