Hi All, I have just made a couple of caves with slate and I would just like some opinions. I got hold of some Hagen Silicone so I know that it is fish safe. The slate was boiled for nearly two hours and then scrubbed with cold water, when they had cooled down obviously and then boiled again...

Hi All, I was wondering what difference a bigger filter in my tank would make. I am currently running with a Fluval 3+ in a 27.5 UK Gallon tank, which seems to be pretty good at what it does, However a friend of mine is selling a Fluval 4+ filter that he got with his new tank, but he has gone...

Hi I recently bought a 27.5 UK G FLuval tank and with regards to the Cycl and Aqua Plus treatments I thought the bottle said that you put in 2 capfuls per 7.5 Gallons of water. Can anyone confirm this? !! Sorry I dont mean to worry you, but possibly one of us has made a mistake somewhere !!

Hi Sammyboy, I have boiled up the slate for 2 hours, drained the water and left them to dry in free air. I am hoping to start creating with them to tonight. My question is have I done enough to clean the slate off or should I be doing something else as well. Thanks for the reply, Richard

Hi All, What would I have to do if i wanted to use some rocks from my local beach in my tank, the rocks are smaller fragments from rocks that are used as part of the sea defences, I think the biggest piece is only about 6" in diameter. My local LFS told me to boil them up for approx half an...

Hi All, I have a bit of a strange problem. If I look through my tank from the front, It seems crystal clear. However if I look through the tank from the side it appears to be quite cloudy. Can any one explain this? :blink:
