    Superfish Aqua Pro External Filters

    Was searching around on the web and found these. Superfish Aqua Pro External Filters I was wondering if anyone has used/got one and are they any good. They seem so much cheaper than other brands so there must be some sort of catch, right?

    Its always tricky when planting up a tank to get it too look tip-top, mainly because theres so many options and you cant decide what will look best! What i try to do is keep the same species of plant together in bunchs to maximise their effect. I always try and leave a fairly 'open' area in the...

    Help Needed With A Tench

    Cool, you learn something every day! I spose that the vets has very little time to do anything as well right, otherwise the fish would dry up? Must be quite tricky to put stitches in a fish as well.

    Lights

    Right, at the mo my tank is 30"x12"x18", which is equal to 32 US gallons, right? I currently have one 25w bulb, which means my WPG is only about 0.78, right? Which means to get my WPG up to around 2-3, I'm gonna need at least 2 more 25w bulbs. Is this right, it seems very excessive to me? (...

    Bizzare

    Surely it wouldn't make any difference at all as wasps and other such insect type things are probably what all fish eat in the wild anyway e.g.flies etc..(I would have thought)

    How To Calculate Volume Of Tank...

    Anyone know how to do this or has anyone got a link to a website which does, or a formula to work it out with. Last time I tried this the site told me the wrong answer. Also, could anyone specify what the answer is in e.g. US gallons, UK gallons etc...

    DIY C02

    I did think of that but I didn't want to risk totally destroying the tube (I know what I'm like :whistle: ) But even with that I doubt it would have fitted over. So to make this work I reckon you would have to have either a larger bit of pipe or a smaller sports cap. It would save a hell of a...

    Overstocked

    I'm pretty sure its only one tank. Might be worth it for a tenner though if you can re-home the fish.

    Fish you can't stand to look at.

    I cannot believe that anyone would get upset over a thread like this, as it not like anyone is taking any severe criticism or anything, and if you do get upset, you really shouldn't read it.

    Well I've just got the usual sugar, yeast mixture, but to be honest I cant say that my measurements were exactly accurate. I mean, it depends on what your veiw cup is doesn't it.

    my set up

    Looks good, I like the dark substrate, I'm a big believer that it always looks nicer than natura gravel. Its already got a backdrop hasnt it? That looks good as well, all the stones an that. I'm agreed that it does need a few more plants though.

    Plant Probs...

    Ok, thanks for your help. Its quite possible that my tank calculations are wrong, because I worked it out on a website(probably inaccurate). I've rechecked and my is 18" in height, and 12" from front to back, and 3 foot wide/long, so your probably right. The tube I'm using at the moment is an...
