I have been watching it and have to agree with you , though i feel she is getting through with the sympathy vote :/

Here's mine , not the best quality though :(

Marine Plywood as it's resistance to fungal attack etc , u should be able to source it from a local timber merchant

I made sure the tank was placed so that it was going across the floor joists . not along them Am sure your bedroom floor can take abit of weight .. my parents had a king sized water bed upstairs in the house way back when ,, no idea what the amount of water it held , though am guessing a hell...

Hi, I have a Fluval 205 external filter and was wondering weather the carbon supplied with the filter is actually needed ? as i have read that it is completely unnecessary .. so my question is can i remove it from the filiter ? If so would i need to put something in the empty media baskets ? or...

I am going to change the substrate in my tank shortly (currently yellow gravel) , to something more natural looking ... I am swaying towards sand , though having doubts on how easy it is to maintain :unsure: Which would you recommend ?

Thanks for the infomation :) Are external filter's noisey ?

Hi , I was looking into external filter systems for my tank and was wondering what people on the forum think of them .. , do you prefer them to internal filter's ? or isnt there much difference ? Am currently watching an auction on ebay which am interested in , though would like some feedback...

Hi , Today i brought 4 female guppys from my local aquatic center. Am no expert when it comes to guppy's , though i have read about the gravid spot near there back end when they are pregnant. On close inspection of the 4 i brought , they all seem to have a dark / black spot on there back...

Hi , I have had 2 angels in my 4ft tank for a few months now , though recently the smaller of the 2 has started to nip the fin's of my larger angel , resulting in him hiding in the cave ornement . other when i feed them. They were getting long just fine , though now it seems they carnt stand...

Thanks for the advice :) , i have just realised that i posted the tank as being 30 liters when in fact its 35 liters , though i doubt it would allow me to keep more than 5 guppies in it ?

Hi , I currently have a 30 Litre doing a fishless cycle and i am planning on keeping guppies in it (all the same sex). What would be a sensible amount i can keep in the tank ? Thanks.

Theres no redness to the spot , hard to discribe it really , its white all around its mouth , i have been checking him all night and he seems to be eating ok , though i did notice what looked like a scale flapping about ?

Hi , I have noticed 1 of my plattys lately has been hiding alot and when out in the open is swimming kinda wobbley , i have noticed tonight that it appears to have what looks like a white scab / spot round its mouth (picture below). The other fish in my tank appear fine , i have checked them...

Is there a limit of how many female betta's you can keep ? (with out a male in the same tank)

I already have a heater in the old tank , i didnt think of putting the filter out of my current tank in to the old one :blush: Thanks for the advice :)

Hi there, i purchased a 34 gallon tank a while back and had it set up and running for nearly a month now. I have noticed that the unit my tank is sat on is showing sign's of weakness and have a new one which i want to replace with asap. For me to do this i have to completely empty the tank...

Thanks for the advice ...

Well i have been keeping tropical fish for over 4 month's now , and love it :good: I have a dalmation molly (female) which was showing sign's of being pregnant , though for weeks nothing happened. I brought a larger tank . let it cycle etc , put all my fish in and with in an hour my...

Thanks for the reply's. Am a little confused as to how this work's , as am assumeing the top nozzle will act like the main one , ie pumping the clean water out , so surley attaching the gravel vac to the pump is only going to disturb all the waste allowing it to float freely around the tank ?

Hi all , I purchased a larger tank last week and 1 item that came with it looks like a syphon of some sorts (Picture below) On the top it says easy clean which made me think it could be some sort of gravel vac ? On the filter that came with it (Fluval 3plus pump/filter system) there is a...

hi, I have purchased a 4ft tank which comes with many items including a bogwood log. The bogwood log has been used prior to the person selling the tank i am collecting. My question is , what do i need to do to it before adding it to my tank ? i assume it has been boiled etc as he has been...
