Do you think you will be looking to sell shrimp for the forseeable future? Havent even set up my tank yet - let alone cycled a filter, but would be interested if all goes to plan...

I love this tank, and its great that you're keeping the thread updated. If it was mine, i think i would go with large catfish over rays - but thats what i like about fish keeping - each unto their own! Am I right in thinking you're not on a water meter? wonder what the weekly cost would be if...

I love what the spot-lights can do. Think it looks much better than strip lighting. But dont you get water everywhere? (evaporation & splash) Also really like your catfish

Sorry to attempt a highjack here, but you all seem knowledgable about lighting... how easy (read cheap) is it to set up your own light bar? Am thinking about building a 4 ft tank, and i am not sure whether i need to fork out £50+ on "aquatic" lighting, or just get something cheap and make sure...

The problem with GRP is it is as expensive as buying a tank in the first place (combined with glass costs) when you're looking at a 4 or 5 ft tank. Im sure its cheaper on the big boys, but i just dont have the space Am still on the hunt for a broken tank that i can salvage anything from, and i...

In my experience, convicts alway rule the roost. I like my threesome, but they dont half terrorise the whole tank! especailly when guarding eggs (every other week...) I had a JD once, but he got bullied rotten and just refused to fight back...

get some pics up... Im still trying to imagine a Jag x Con

favourite fish i own is my female Jewel - she's a beauty! But favourite fish i would like to own isnt even a fish - i want a turtle tank!

I just got a filthy cheap one, not even sure of the make. got it from Swallow Aquatics for about a tenner, and it does the job. I've never understood how these can cost so much money

Also the glass itself weights a bucket-load... If you do think the two chests could take the weight, i ould recommend a large sheet of plywood at least 10mm thick between the chest and the tank. This shouls disperse the weight a little bit between the two. Its not that hard to build a stand...

Who's your friend and where does he live? I'd love a Rio 300 for £100... Edit: I see your in Wales, so guess im out of luck... Wrong side of the UK...

Does anyone know what the Hozelock pond liners are made of? i cant find it on the web site. I have read in VikkiAndKev's thread that there is one kind of liner that silicone will not stick to. My plans are changing again. I am now thinking of replacing my 4ft tank instead of getting a 2nd to...

or paint (however you like) a sheet of cardboard and stick it to the back...

I am potentially in a similar situation (thinking about a 5x2x2) Firstly im gob smacked the 3ft tall is the same price... make sure the glass is good and thick. would have thought it would need to be 15mm + for that height. But anyway, back to the filter... I just found out Zooplus are doing...

Thats annoying! the wife signed me up to Zooplus last night to buy a new cage for her tortoise....

Well i am finding it really hard to get an online quote for a sheet of glass, and i cant really be bothered to pick up the phone just yet (yup - im lazy) But then i was looking at Poseidons Palace, and they will build me a 5 footer for £170 - but thats with 8mm glass (safty factor 2). Is that...

Looks pretty identical to my 205, but i still want one! Are there any spec improvements on the older 205? If you dont mind me asking, how much did you get this for?

Dont forget that a water change is about more than changing water. Are you syphoning the junk from the bottom of the tank? cleaning your substrate?

I have been doing some research and am still deciding on VickiAndKev's pond liner idea, or everyone else's epoxy idea. Epoxy would be expensive and i wouldn't really save much cost, so am going to try to find more info about pond liners. V&Ks idea appealed to me, because they lined the sides...

Hey, Its been a long while since i've been on this site, but i think i remember a couple (cant remember their names - i think they were plec breeders?) who built their own tanks out of marine plywood, wil one side made of glass / perspex. Has anyone had experience doing this? realistically, how...

agreed, size and pic is needed. Juvi greens look very different to adult. almost convict-like (im going on normal, instead of wild - have never seen them off the internet) Also the banding is often a sign of stress

are you planning on removing 2 if 2 pair up? beucase that might be an idea. Or even get 5 Sevs and wait for a pair. Just be aware that obviously an 'active' pair might result in more fish for you to re-home... I've only had Sev's for a few months, but mine are really growing on me. stunning...

my choice would be a different barb. I have always found tigers a bit boring... I would go with some Golden barbs (or red line torpedo, if you've got the space), but make sure you keep their numbers up and keep an eye on the angels, as they might have a bit of a go. What are your views on...

Now sold

cant help with the sexing im afraid. but i love your set-ups But on your 240L, what powerhead are you using? and i notice the only surface agitation is from the air coming from the powerhead. Have you ever had issues with low O2? (ie fish gulping at surface) Im interested because in my 240, im...

Out of curiosity, how much were you looking to spend?

£100 including the filter / heater etc

I might be free Friday evening, but tomorrow is a no-go

I would recommend barbs as well. I think they are great fish to dither about large cichlids. But you do have to be careful of them being eaten. maybe some fully grown Odessa, Rosy or (my favourite) Gold barbs? andif you do get some, make sure you get at least 7 so they shoal amoungst themselves...

Yes its still for sale, and comes with all the trimmings. The only thing i would say is that it has been sat dormant for a while, so the gravel looks a bit manky and might want either a very good clean or just replacing. Obviously the bacteria in the filter will also be long gone, but i might be...

yup, still up for grabs yup, still up for grabs

yeah thats too far for me... If you paid for petrol, i would consider. but would rather sell it to someone locally

i could potentially drive the tank to somewhere in the norwich area, but i might have to dismantle the cabinet because i doubt it and the tank would fit in my Fiesta. but they're easy to take apart and put back together

Spixworth? north side. not too far from the airport

looks like me after i painted our kitchen!!!

Hi, Yes, i am still looking to sell you tank. Are you interested?

Yes i've still got it. I have got one person thinking about it, but not sure if they're that keen.

No worries. enjoy the tank!

FYI about the barbs: "Adults of Puntius tambraparniei are distinguished from P. filamentosus , P. singhala and P. assimilis by having prominent black markings on body anterior to the anal-fin origin. They differ from P. exclamatio by lacking a horizontally-elongate, tear-shaped black blotch...

agreed. although space is my bigger issue. what are the dmensions of your 90?
