Thanks,and I hope you mean its plants you kill and you're not confessing to some murders? :lol:

Yeah thats confusing me,I dont know if they missed a "/" out and meant marine AND plants I've seen some on here talk about using ho tubes on planted tanks -_-

Just a couple of pics of my 36"x18"x15" early May,first day of planting. How it looks today.

cool thanks :good: Now,this is going to seem a nasty way to ask a polite question. Please dont answer if you are going to start "I dont know,but I think blah blah blah" lol http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310249723296&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Can standard t5 tubes be used...

I give my 205 a quick rinse out once a fortnight,squeeze the sponges out in tank water.simples :P

http://www.123aquatics.co.uk/showproduct.aspx?Url=jblprofloraco2setm602-1082&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 This mentions a timed switch.Is that a specific piece of kit?Or just a plug-in like you'd get from argos?

:rip: :(

I'm getting 2 300W hydor external heaters for my 180G.Better too much than not enough :P

I just peed a little reading this! :lol: Whats the point of asking opinions from people with experience then banging on about "scientific" proof to back up the advice? Unless someone develops a way to communicate with fish and ask them how they feel in different size tanks,how will "opinions"...

Tank is 42 usg.I know too small for adult angels,but they are going in my 180 gal soon. tankmates 1 pearl gourami 9 black neons 7 green neons 6 emerald eye rasboras 8 peppered corys 7 coral platies 1 sucking loach And now the angel is confusing the hell out of me,2 days ago he was swimming the...

:hyper: :drool: :wub: speechless!!!!!!!

I'm at a loss.I've treated for finrot and velvet(was in the tank,now clear) Water stats are all fine and all the other fish are perfect.This one is still pushing through for food and swimming,slowly,but good. Any ideas whats wrong? Edit...I forgot to say,this is actually looking a LITTLE...

You're just being silly now! it should be 16x4xFOUR! the rest looks fine though :good: :lol:

Gimmiccy "easy" aquariums = more inexperienced fishkeepers and unhappy fish :S

ATM its 2,that may change when they are in the tank,I dont want it looking too cluttered and mixed up,but if it still seems fairly open when they are in,another group may be in the offing ;)

I love hatchets,but ATM my tank is going to be open topped,so a S$%tload of hatchet fish gliding around the room may be an issue lol

I'd LOVE discus,but I already have the angels in my 3ft tank,so,no discus pour moi! :( lol I'm doing the small colourful route,but like I say,if someone has a suggestion for a big "stand out" peacefull fish that will go well,I'm open to ideas

Thanks.Congos are out,no good reason why,I just don't like them lol And I have been thinking about a BIG shoal of threadfin rainbows,great minds think alike lol

Anything is helpful :) I've been the "pair of oscars and huge plec" route before,so I want to go with a "peaceful" community now.if there is a large(ish) fish that would fit into this idea then I'm all ears..or eyes anyway :P

I know its not exactly the same environment,but,I had an anodized tongue stud once,and the colour vanished after a few months :S So I personally wouldnt trust it in a tank

I'm about a month from setting up my 6x2x2.It will be a reletively heavily planted community. The inhabitants so far will be.. 100+ Lemon tetras (possibly 200) 30+ Cories (peppered or panda) 4 Angels. Any thoughts what else?I love Boesman rainbows,but have read somewhere that they need hard...

Have you tried java plants?

Plecs WILL feed on dead fish,but I have never known them to attack healthy ones :S

1 neon? :lol: No,seriously,can't go wrong with oscars and a plec

I hate you...ummmm,I mean,nice tank! :good: :lol:

I'm thinking the light units I mentioned + arcadia replacement leads?Not gonna skimp on the safety,so I dont mind paying the little bit extra for the waterproof leads.

I have read in PFK about a guy who use "garden soil" topped with fine gravel.Anyone? Is it just soil dug up from the garden?Or composts like you get from B&Q? :unsure:

nice one,cheers mate :good:

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/0027052/Trail/searchtext%3EFLOURESCANT.htm Does anyone here know (or actually done this) if these can be pulled to bits and used for t5 tubes? I did it YEARS ago with t8's,but I have no idea if the ballasts are different for t5's.I'm hoping to...

Location helps dude :good: :D

I didnt realise cabinets can be made from laminate flooring! :S

A pair of dwarfs would be good :)

Why would you sell it? I see a whole new project for you there :good: :hey: New tank looks great btw :D

Oh good gawd!He couldn't tell the difference between kribs and black widows???? hahaha If you see any discus in his shop,tell him they're neons,I'll come pick them up! :lol:

I hope you spat back at him to show who's boss? lol

I think the total stripdown maybe the best option if you can rehome the fish for a little while,anything that you salvage from the tank will need boiling and serious scrubbing with fresh water

Shoot your roommate? :P I'd either have a total stripdown of the tank,or,huge water changes and carbon in the filter :S

I haven't set the new tank up yet and in my current 180ltr the tabs, flourish and lighting has been working well together, my plants have grown really well in there. To be completely honest I'm not the 'technical type' I'm too blonde I think. Things are only easy when you know how and after...
