Just checked with my good lady wife and she reckons they are no problem at all. What i would say is give me the measurement you want and im sure we can make them almost to the exact size give or take a few milimetres. Be patient - she just told me that next week is inspection week but after...

Send me a link to what it looks like and we can sort something out...

Hey Guys My wife is an Art teacher and has recently got a new job with access to a kiln. She is trained in ceramics and made me the odd item for the aquarium. I thought they looked much better than anything resin made from the LFS and it was made exactly how i wanted it. Anyway, now that...

Cool - many thanks for your help Standby. :good:

Its a single standard Arcadia 'Classica' 30" flourescent tube. If that helps oh and 25 watts i think.

I've always struggled to keep a planted tank going for long. To be honest its my own fault, i have bought a few plants and they have started off quite well but then soon struggled and died. I have never used a fertiliser so i dont spose that helped either! I have standard tank lighting which...

Thanks Rex - i've just done it! But was a bit concerned cos the water but has lots of dirty bits floating on top which got mixed in with the net. I transferred what i had in my net to some tank water in a shallow jar then with a teaspoon put in the lavae! Pretty slow and long winded but cant...

Hi I have a water butt in my garden, nothing special it just collects rain water from the gutters. The last few days when i have gone to fill my watering can, i have noticed that there are millions of mosquito lavae swimming about, the kind which i gather are ideal food for my fish. I would...

Went to a fish restaurant and we had oysters and i kept back a couple of shells to put in my community aquarium tank. They have been soaking in hot water for a bit and i intend to give them a good clean but just wanted to check that they wont cause any issue in my tank. Maybe a silly question...

Hiya :) Looking for a Nerite snail, just wondered if anyone was overrun with them and wanted to sell. They have them in my LFS at £2.50 each, but would rather buy from here if possible. I'm in Broxbourne, Herts could collect if local enough or can be posted. Jimmy

Do you mean do i have the MTS and assassins in the same tank? Yes I do. The overfeeding certainly hasnt helped with mine, but im a bit disinclined to raise the teamp to 27c. Its been 24c since day one and i've had very little problems with the tank in over 7 years, so not keen on changing the...

Hiya Had these blinding little snails for over six months but there are no babies! Got four in the tank and they do a great job and look cool but i cant seem to get them to breed....The MTS breed like its out of fashion, so why dont these beauts do the same??? Tank temp is around 24c... Any...
