For anyone intrested, I ended up just buying a T6 tube from the website reccomended. The hood was basic with little room for improvement scratch rebuilding one, something I don't have the spare time, skills and tbh motivation do do. Eagerly awaiting the post and any results now :). Thanks for...

Radar, yeah im wary of that, im currently already on 10x turnover and adding ferts, and should have no problems with rigging up some DIY Co2 if the need arises. BobRoss, my tank is a pretty basic Rena 80, with a black plastic crappy hood with the light fitting screwed to that, so adding stuff...

Sorry I should have clarified, the tank itself is 2nd hand so the light just came in it, but I reckon its a T8 considering its pretty low tech, and the bulb looks about that thickness. Sneaky edit: Also its worth pointing out it doesnt have a reflector, again is this something I should buy, or...

Hey, sorry if this has come up before, and for how naive the question is but I trust this forum much more than asking at the LFS. Basically I have bought some plants for a 20g, and whilst some are coming along nicely some of them are looking a little bit sorry. I reckon this is because the tank...

Just a small thing, last week i went to neata in stockton and the one near middlesbrough train station (i think its keithlands) both were shut down, so you might want to save yourself a trip. Ive bought quite a few fish from petmania and billingham aquatics without any problems, though ive...

just echoing ebay, and maybe try your local paper, second hand tanks are so much cheaper, and quite often people will throw in perfectly good lights and filters.

Hope you dont mind if i highjack your thread but i have a related question. I got some cherry reds a couple of days ago, and also picked up some hikari algae wafers and crab cuisine. However, ive tried adding a pellet of cuisine, or half a wafer or so, and the shrimp seem completely nonplussed...

Sure, you could try that. perhaps rigging up some cut up tights or something over the outlets may help kill the flow. Some people also make a filter killer out of a plastic bottle, as seen here http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=84710/ .

No but its true. You are going to end up with some very unhappy goldfish or some very dead goldfish unless you move them to a suitable enviroment. Also the black moor is a fancy goldfish, and when kept with non fancys it may have its long ornate fins nipped, or be simply outcompeted for food...

Oh cool, guess ill just wait for this second lot of ammonia to die down, change the water, and i should be good to go for shrimp then. Thanks for your help. And yeah it is, bit of a vonnegut fan :).

Everyones favourite, fishless cycle questions. Cycling a 5g tank at the moment, hoping to keep cherry red shrimp in it once its completed but i just have a couple of questions. The filter was from a previously established tank and last tuesday i added the ammonia to bring it up to about 5ppm...

I bought mine from a little cornershop DIY place, its labeled as Jeyes Kleen Off Ammonia, does the trick.

Chill, your post hasnt been here long. Im pretty confused to what you are on about. is this after a cycle? at the start of a cycle, if so, how are you doing it? added ammonia yet etc. If you are a bit more clear about what you are asking im sure someone will be able to help.

Hi all. I've done the fishless cycle twice in the past when setting up tanks, however now i am setting up a tank with a previously established filter. I only started yesterday, yet my ammonia is already starting to drop, from 5 yesterday to about 2ish today, my nitrite levels are still zero...
