Hi I have a 200L hagen tank with an external fluval filter/pump. I recently bought a bubble wall to go along the back to look pretty and an airpump that id read was very quiet (Tetratec APS APS100) My big external pump is practically silent but I found that the new air pump was horribly noisy...

Hi everyone I have a 200L tropical tank (with mollies, guppies, a black-body-red-tail shark & neon tetras) I want to get a small tank to use as a hospital tank & quarentine tank to keep fish in for a week or so before adding to big tank. My questions are these: 1)how small can this tank be? I...

OK, I can sort of isolate the fish, i can put him back in my old taknk (30L) that has 2 guppys in it that I was about to move into the big tank. I suppose Il move them out 1st so hes on his own. The meds Im using is Azoo magic disease treatment...

yes I have read your article, very interesting. Im not sure what you are saying about sores & ulcers; which does he have & what does it mean for treatment/ survival chances? He seems really fine otherwise, eating & swimming around as ususal. What should I do with him??!

OK, now Im home I think its got worse, now it looks red. Ive taken photos, here they are. Il keep checking the water perameters & use the AZOO magic disease treatment (http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/inde...oducts_id=2039). It says on the bottle that its for fungus, bacteria & ectoparasites. I...

Dwarf gourami has a sore/scales missing on side of his head, probably from bashing it on net when moved. Other wise perfectly normal Just wondering how long it takes for scales to grow back & what i should do to treat/prevent any infection that may take hold while injurgy is there. Possibly...

Oh cool, thanks! Not sure why that didnt work for me, Il try harder next time! Just wondering what people think about necessary lighting levels - You can see that my living room is really quite bright during the day. Do you think I can get away with using less bright lights once I plant the...

Thanks for the tip - I didnt realise I couldnt paste them straight in Here is a photo of the tank in daylight & in the evening in case you're interested! You can also see the old 30L tank Im replacing - its a BIG jump!!! All very exciting. I might try one of these beauty tubes, although it is a...

Ive just set up my brand spanking new Hagen/Fluval Roma 200L tank. It looks ACE! But in the evening when the living room lights are low (I like just having lamps on, more atmospheric/romantic!) )the fluorescent glow from the tank is a bit too bright. Its there any way I can reduce the light...

Ahh, ive just had another look & realised the prices I saw (£350 ish) were PLUS the cabinet so it wasnt such an amazing deal after all! thanks anyway!
