Bare sun in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, been playing football all afternoon.

You need one that has a current output equal to the operating current of the LED's, and is also 3W. Most can only power up to 6 LED's though so you might need more dependent on the number you're using.

The white stuff is most probably limescale that has formed on the heating element in the kettle.

I like it as it is, the less is more approach works very well in this instance!

Marine is tempting, I've kept marines before but my experience is still limited so I wouldn't want to go that small yet, I guess I could rear Endler fry in there, I'd need to put some in the main tank first though.

I've already had shrimp in there, I just want something different, shame it's so small as it's very limiting.

Thanks for the suggestions, I wouldn't feel comfortable putting Endler's in there or Chilli Rasbora's, obviously plants will be in there ;)

Besides Shrimp, a Betta, dwarf frogs and snails can anyone think of anything that would be suited to a tank of this size? Something unusual? Thanks.

Should be fine providing you use RO water and keep it in a dark, cool place.

Hi Lis, just read through this as I've not been active for a while, sorry to hear about the problems you've been having, but we're all looking forward to your next salty venture!

Depends on your dilution, if it were me I'd put the crystals in a jug and top up with water to warm water to 1L, every 10ml's of solution would treat 31.36 litres.

Just thought I'd clear a few things up, if you don't disturb the substrate, no problem and you shouldn't get any nasty smells either unless you disturb it. Anaerobic and anoxic zones develop where certain species of bacteria thrive, their digestion leads to the formation of hydrogen sulfide, a...

I don't see you volunteering to pay for the hosting/server costs etc.

30oC is the magic number, also the system might not be able to generate enough pressure for the diffuser to release the bubbles.

You only need a few drops of the pH reagent :)

Yes as long as it is the standard pH test kit and not the high range one. The other part you need is 4dKH water.

I eat turtles.

I like turtles.

Good luck finding some!

If it were me I'd just give filter media away for free, or for what it costs for the media, it'd allow you to build a better rapport with customers instead of profiting from it. A lot of new fish keepers can be quite ignorant when it comes to cycling and by charging them they'll presume you're...

Sodium thiosulphate crystals if your water supply has chlorine and not chloramine.

Best off left in rivers, agree with the above.

Stock prices for most tropical fish are around 20-25p for your generic stuff. I wrote a business plan for a business I was planning on setting up and it just wasn't viable, for me to make any sort of profit I'd need to be making £500 a week. That's £26000, after tax and NI it's about £18500...

Try Caesium, much more fun.

Rip off in my opinion, for the cost of one tube you could build your own better unit from high power LED's, if you can solder two wires together you can build your own unit quite easily.

It doesn't matter in my opinion, as long as they're both doing their fair share.

It's in My Settings somewhere, have a root around, I can't remember the exact location to change it.

With you being in the US your choices are limited, Saliferts are available but are expensive, not sure if you'll have access to JBL.

API test kits are terrible.

Have you had both? If not how can you compare them?

Sunny in Ilkeston, DErbyshire.

I have considered an Android, the only reason I wont go with one is because previously all of the stuff I've bought from iTunes is only compatible with their products :( I've tried everything to get it to work on other platforms unless you have any pointers?

This would be my first iPad, I guess I could always go round a few places and haggle, John Lewis are generally pretty good for that.

I don't mind adverts if it means this forum runs, server space costs money and as far as I'm aware William has been footing the bill for years.

Hey all, currently interested in buying the new iPad, the 32GB Wi-fi model specifically, I can get it from ASDA for £432 (ex-employee discount) bearing in mind it RRP's at £480, so that £48 saving I get can go on music I'm after. Does anyone know of any better deals, or where I can get an iPad...

That's some beautiful hardscape Ian.

Copper isn't soluble in water... After many years of fish keeping never have I encountered a problem using hot water to 'take the edge' off of cold water and my hot water comes from a tank. If you're only doing a 10 litre water change there's no need to heat up the replacement water anyway.

Well I can work it out gauged on my set up: 15USG tank, 6W of LED (2*3) so 6/15 = 0.4W/G That is low tech, maybe if everyone collated their results we could work out some general constant for lighting a tank using LED's?

Use 8 3W LED's instead? That way you'll only need 2 drivers and if you use lenses you'll get roughly the same spread of light.
