i wasnt going for a sump i no it hides equiptment but i dont really have the space and im useless at diy, the thought of drilling a tank gives me nightmares. i bought the tank brand new from ND aquatics and it doesnt really have the space i dont think for a sump, what size would be needed? i...

Hey guys been keeping an eye out on the salty side for abit, looking to make the switch when i raise the cash. so currently i have a 4x2x2 tank with a pair of breeding green terrors and a few other fish, had this now for about a year, i got into fish keeping a few years back an wanted marine...

hahah just saving up my money to do it, so expencive live rock for a 4x2x2 :( yer i live like 45mins from the south coast, wouldnt have a clue what u would find in there

ahhh mexico, that place is so amazing george, ive been twice in the last year to riviera maya, the snorkeling is amazing and has inspired me to convert to a marine tank once i saved the money, currently have green terrors breeding atm :S

thanks for the info, ill try find a courier that will take the co2 bottles, but that sounds expencive.

is it even legal to post out Co2 bottles? i guess id have to weigh it to see what it would cost

well i roughly hopeing for about £100 as it has the 2 co2 bottles. not to sure if i would get more selling seperatly and the solenoid is brand new which retails at £80 but at the end of the day its only worth wot people are willing to pay for it.

um i hadent actually thought about any fish in the deal tbh, so for the moment i would probably just say cash.

to cut a long story short i was redoing my tank yesterday, pulled out the first bit of bogwood and put it on a towel on the floor, i noticed my convicts swimming erratically. last time they done this they had eggs. so i looked on the bog wood and there was hundreds of eggs. the wood was out of...

your parrot looks amazing, but i know what u mean with the hiding, is there not a zoo or something near you that could take it, atleast then you no its going to a great home and u can go and visit!!

easily repaired mate, u just need abit of sellotape. :P

yer hamfist i went to the one in christchurch about 5 months ago when i stayed in the new forest i see some in there, or maybe it was wimborne :S think they were about £40 each are normal JD much more aggressive?

this sounds pretty good, the convict is ok in there?

yer i have been to the aqua jardin one a few times there i got 2 discus from them a while back. im really not keen on festivums, i just never liked the look on them, do you think that could be replaced by a EBJD? i think i will defo add a severum i just gotta find the one i like, my lfs has...

thanks for the replies, if you wouldnt mind putting a list of what you would have in a 4x2x2 that does include firemouths that would be great, then i can see what combos i can look at. hamfist do you no if maidenhead eastleigh/saouthamptom got much in atm, i think you mentioned before they are...

i was also perhaps thinking blue acara and rainbow cichlid. im not really interested in plecos but thanks anyway

So ive finally removed all my fish, removed the sand and soil and replaced that with new. Ive scaped my tank allthough im looking to add a few more pieces of wood into it and pebbles/rocks. yesterday i bought 3 firemouths around the 2 inch mark, and im wandering what else to put with them. my...

nice, it looks amazing

hey snowflake whats the fish in ur sig?

whats the salvini like, i love the look of this fish, read lots saying it should be fine but then heard some bad things.

ah thanks alot minx :P I guess u could also use a flooring vinyl tile and stick that onto what u have, i own a flooring company and theres many wood effects u could get. There individual but would give an effect of a real wood. Theres also the sheet vinyl much less forgiving if u cut it wrong...

wills what is the fish in your profile pic, looks amazing!!

Basingstoke

i had this happen when i had a pair, the female was larger and showing her breeding colours, the male would never move only when chased, he lasted about 4 days before he died, i put it down to being harrased to death, i was unable to then find a male big enough so had to return the female.

did u get them from MA in eastleigh/southampton, usually got some decent stuff in there, looks just like the ones in Basingstoke up as Jurupari, they only have 1 left though :(

yer ive read all of your post recently mark, my friend has an oscar which hes had for about 6 months now hes grown so much. My main concern is just the number balance of each fish really. id defo want the convicts and firemouth. do you think an EBJD is gonna be to agrresive? the blue acara...

yes mark, im gonna remove all my current stock so will be starting from scratch. forgot to mention i got an fx5 running on it and a tetratec 1200.

Hi i got a 4x2x2 tank atm with discus a few other fish and lots of plants with a co2 kit running on it. Im now looking to get something more active with abit more of a personality, the discus look great but just dont do much else. so im not to sure what i can and cant mix, ive had a lok at alt...

Hi i bought a JBL co2 kit for my 450liter tank back in in april, about 2 months ago the solenoid broke, i have been lazy but have now just got around to dealing with the problem. It came as part of the whole kit. Does anyone know if im within my rights to expect a refund or a credit note for...

i added 2 discus to my existing 8 at the weekend, world war 3 broke out str8 away and my smalleist discus was even bullying my new bigger one, the 2 new discus would jsut hide behind my plants but when i put food in they came out to eat, they are still hiding away now and again but are eating...

So i have a 4x2x2 tank, in it i have 20 cardinals, 2 electric blue rams, 2 keyholes and 9 discus. I had 7 but bought 2 more. the 2 new discus i bought were in different tanks in the shop not even close to each other. i have had them in my tank for just over 1 week, they stay pretty close...

yer reading around i need to up that alot, im gonna up it to 1 bubble per second, and see how this goes, my current doesnt look strong as i have discus, all ive got is a spray bar pushing it around, gonna add another filter anyway so hopefully that will help me out alot. dont think my 500g...

Hi there my tank is 4x2x2 and i jsut bought the jbl 602, i wondering how many bubbles per minute people are having roughly, and if you are running a 500g cannister how long its lasting you. Atm im on about 10 per minute and my co2 checker isnt chaning at all, its et at the other end of the tank...

i thought tempered glass was the strongest stuff available, i would probably email some custom tnak makers they will give you a price and list what glass they would use, then obviously you dont buy from them but get to know what glass is best. I would have thought perhaps thicker than 20mm. my...

yer thats a possibilty, id probably try get a larger female, ur tank is very well planted and you may get away with it with all the hiding spaces in there for her to rest in.
