By saying that do you think there is an issue with my tank having a high PH?

I have a freshwater test kit and my PH tests are as follows: PH - 7.8 High PH - 8

Hey. I was just wondering if it is possible to put ocean rock (the white stuff) into a tropical fish tank. I have heard people say no it affects the PH and others say its fine esp if you boil it and oven dry it??

Hey. I know this sounds stupid but there are two kinds of fish in my tank that I have forgotten what they are. Can you please ID these for me.

I took a few photos yeah. I'll post them up later. Thanks for the mega remarks :D

Thanks guys. Just from your impressed comments has made me very happy about doing it. I must say that the fish seem to enjoy it too. Giving them some depth in which to poke around at

#40##! Least you'll get it weds. It comes well boxed too if its from the same guy. I bought a few things from him now. The filter is great by the way.

I just bought a 205 a few days ago from an ebayer seller. Petsupplies something. Hes great and very good price. £63.50 delievered next day. Quality piece of kit.

Marine black silicon

Project now finished. Thank you for all the help.

I bought it 2nd hand last August and it was probably 2 years old before then.

I was only going to see if it came off in order to place my background in one piece or if I would have to do it in 2 or 3 pieces.

There is a wooden lid which I assume its primary or secondary purpose is to hold the glass under the pressure of the water. I wondered if these are glued on or wether they can just be lifted off?

Is perspex acrylic? I have a test piece outside currently setting to a piece of slate. Is normal silicon just as strong etc etc etc as black aquarium silicon. Im not asking so I can use it. It says not suitable for aquariums but Im just wondering before I buy 3 cans of the stuff.

The perspex still life table I'll be using cut aprox to shape. Requires exact trimming and halfing in order to introduce to the tank. Placement of slate onto background (for testing purposes only) The slate placed onto black card and enhanced in photoshop for examples I will be buying some...

Thanks for replies guys! Yeah I could do I suppose. Was just trying to do it on the cheap by using things I already own. If I am using black silicon to attach the rocks it will prob bleed between the gaps anyway n result in not needing to color the perspex I just thought..

Okay I have spent months n months looking for the background I want but the only company who does that is who fits out Pets at Home. Can/Not/Get/A hold/Of/This/Fecking/thing! I am not paying £50 for a one I don't really want so I have come to the conclusion that I am going to make my own. I...

Hello. Basically when it comes to cleaning out my gravel etc I am sucking out the dirt with a siphon and the water pours down into a bucket about 1.3 meters from where it is been siphoned from. Now I would like to get myself another pump that I can place in the bucket that will push the water...

I have 4 Cherry Shrimp that are so small its untrue! How long does it take for them to grow to full adult size as my fish will eat them whilst they are this small. I have them contained in a breeding tank.

What options for alge eaters are there for fancy goldfish setups?

Thank you for the advise Do you have a picture of your nano reef set up?

Well she has taken their advise. I actually did alot of research with my tropical tank. Its my first tank and I have had no real problems My only real mistake was overstocking my tank a little but I am very keen on the hobby and maintain my tank very regulally. I have 2 Kissing gourami, 2...

Hello. Thats really interesting to read. I thought the edge was actually designed to be a coldwater aqaurium? I am running a 125litre tropical tank which is all fine with some of the fish you mentioned above. My girl friend has a couple of these black moores in one of those small biorb...

Ok following what I was going to do with my fluval edge I have decided to get the same fish my girl friend has which are Black moores. I have seen at Pets at Home a large Black moore. I personally think that being a 23 litre tank its gonna be too small but what do you think regarding these...

Thanks but I would rather buy one. I want this exact one but I cant find it anywhere. Its really 3d. a good 40mm in depth details.

As you can see its one of those solid hard foam style ones but this one is very detailed. It was on show in Pets at Home. They don't sell them though. I need one for a 800mm tank. Please help me find them.

Woooah thats alot of info thank you. I have had the live rock in salt water. so there should be no issue there. I asked the assistant in the fish store and he said it would be possible to house only a few cleaner shrimp. Only wanted the cleaner shrimp.. Thats the whole point of it being for...

Thought it might. How do you think 2 domino damsels will cope with 2 cleaner shrimp? I am open to ideas you may have? The key importance of the entire setup is to have at least 2 cleaning shrimp. I have worked out that I need to add aprox 760g of salt to a 23 litre tank? This seems like a...

Okay I got my Fluval Edge tank from Santa. I have placed 3 small pieces of ocean rock and one slightly bigger piece of live rock in there as I was told this will greatly improve compatibility with what I want to do with this tank. I have bought a 2kg bag of Red Sea Salt and I want to know how...

Hi thanks for the good reply. I would really like the Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp.. So I would need a saltwater setup in the tank? I will try to research fluval edge/saltwater setup.

Hello. I am successfully running a tropical juwel 125litre aqaurium with very few issues from the start. But now I am getting a Fluval Edge tank for xmas to go on my desk. Since I first saw them I wanted to have some Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp. I would love to have maybe 4 in the fluval Edge...
