It's not new, I've had it about 18 months I think. I'm pretty certain the gasket is in the groove properly, although there is some movement; are they liable to shrink perhaps? I thought about vaseline, but doesn't that degrade the rubber over time? I might try it out of desperation soon though!

My external Fluval 205 filter keeps leaking everytime I set it up again after cleaning. Water seeps out around the seal where the 'lid' attaches to the main cannister of the filter after I have filled it up with water, allowed the water to start flowing again and turned the impeller on. It...

Yea I reckon the wood is probably the worst part, I reckon it needs to be bigger and bolder as small bits like that dont really have much impact. As Brycehockey says I reckon we are so used to seeing absolutely stunning tanks filled with every kind of colour and texture of stem plants, that...

Yea I could go on forever thinning out the vallis as it runs like stink but I figure having the back and sides of the tank covered with planting make the tank look bigger than it really is.

Well its been a long while since I even visited this site let alone posted on it, so I thought you'd all like to see my 3ft tank that I keep in my bedroom. Its changed a lot since I first started posting on these forums. Most of these changes have been in order to help my plants survive and...

What a stupid pillock. Practically handed the cheating itals the world cup on a plate.

Personally I think you could struggle this season, as I dont see DJ getting many goals to be honest. As long as you give Southend a good thrashing I'll be happy.

Unfortunately not as I am a skint tax dodging student, cant even afford my new season ticket yet.

Apart from out of the conference at Dagenhams expense

Spurs finishing above Arsenal, I dont think so! Whens your fat idiot of a manager going to prison then? MOD EDIT: Please refrain from using bad language.

Well Leyton Orient are outside the premierships top six- But not for long!

Whoa nerd alert!

I reckon Owen would have been a revelation back at Liverpool, as I doubt he would have fallen foul of the Newcastle curse at Anfiald.

Anyway, lets get back to the main point here; PHWOAR!!!

I'm not saying that Bellamy doesn't have any attributes positive attributes, as he does. What I am saying is that he is not of the quality that Liverpool should be looking to buy. His goal scoring record is only 1 in 3 at best and that is when he has been playing well. Liverpool should be...

Hurrah...Bellamy has signed a four year deal!! What is it with Liverpool buying crap strikers?

Sod the premiersh*t, its all about league 1 with the mighty O's.

Courgette really is quite minging, along with marmalade

That was poo.

Its all about www.leytonorient2.com/forum P.s: Not for the faint hearted amongst you : )

Just fiddle about with the toolbars and banners. Even if you cant fix it its worth living with it as Mozilla is far superior to IE, not just through blocking pop-ups and viruses, but the tab feature is bloomin' useful, rather than having a million windows all open at once.

There was a young man from china, And he wasn't a very good climber, He slipped on a rock, And cut off his c**k, And now his got a vagina. There was a young man from Leeds, Who swallowed a packet of seeds. In half an hour his bum was a flower, And his d**k was packed out with weeds.

I play a bit of club cricket. Dunno if you've heard of Ravinder Bopara who plays for essex but he came from my club( thats my little claim to fame) Keep wicket myself cos i'm absolute #### at bowling an not much better at batting, but its a laugh so oh well

Best thing to do if you want to get into all of this is to start going scouts. Bit tame by ray mears standard sbut you gotta start somewhere.

If its a damp shaded area I would opt for woodland plants. Before planting though i would make sure that you remove all of the moss. Some plants you could start with could be foxgloves, hostas, ferns and bulbs such as bluebells for a bit of spring colour. Creeping jenny might do well if its damp...

So it can work then. So what if the tank was limited to just cichlids that werent very aggressive, I take it that their would be a greater chance of success. My main concern really was whether the conditions would be right. Could a RTBS handle being in a tank with just sand and rocks?

I'm sure I've seen this before in some photos that someone has posted, but is it alright to keep a Red Tailed Black Shark in a Malawi Cichlid tank.

the roof

Yea so there seems to be a thread like this every day, but what he hell, some oddballers might be interested in this... ebay

3 days probably isn't enough time for the tank to fully settle down. However much you wash the sand theres still gonna be some crud in there that you cant get rid of. Give it a couple more days and it'll all settle down as the filter kicks in a bit more. If not then the output from the filter is...

Lucky git! All that lot would probably cost an arm and a leg to buy.

Looks brill! How big are those lumps of rock? They look massive. How much did the rock cost and where did ya get it from?

Ok, thanks. Just the gravel im my tank is black and you cant really see it too well. P.s. how do you get fake plants to stand up right if theres no gravel?

So its not a good idea to have a completely empty tank then (im sure this is a stupid question)

Well?...

Great thread this- nothing like a good old moan lol. For me the most annoying thing has got to be the bloomin' fish pulling plants out of the gravel almost immediately after I've put them back. ARGH. I can never get it to look right.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one! :D

BBQ'd mackerel- cant beat it!

When my air pump packed up I opened it up and found that the rubber bit inside had completely disintegrated. Although I dont think all of them work in the same way...

Thanks for the help. A Superfish it is then if I can ever get hold of a new tank...
