    I mean a bog standard waterproof ballast, it doesn't have to be aquarium orientated, it's just that the non-aquarium branded stuff tends to be a lot cheaper.

    Most will, doubt they'll give you anything for them though.

    Software programs such as the afore mentioned don't have built in common sense, your brain does. That's a pretty good indication as to which you should trust :good:

    New Weekly "off Topic" Topic No.18 (04/06/12)

    My favourite pet so far is my current cat, he's the most loving animal I've ever kept, he's always wanting to be fussed and spends most of his time sat on my lap.

    Arcadia make decent ones, but if it were me I'd just buy a generic ballast as it's cheaper.

    What Is The Perfect "stocking" Of A Tetratec Ex1200

    Just stick whatever is cheapest in there, expensive doesn't mean better filtration, the best filter media is cheap and allows good water flow, all filter media is capable of holding the desired number of bacteria in a filter of this capacity.

    You could build something better for a lot less yourself using parts sourced from ebay.

    Here's the complete Birmingham Gig in full, Geezer's Bassicaly solo at 1:00:00 ish before NIB is incredible, I'm seeing them at Download next week too so I'm really lucky, but I can't see them ever touring again after this :( and being 17 it's been my only chance...

    How Clean Is Your Aquarium Water?

    The water in my tank is probably cleaner and purer than the stuff that comes out of the tap. Actually Fluoride and Chlorine both have pretty necessary purposes, Fluoride is proven to prevent tooth decay but on the flip side too much of it causes dental fluorisis in Children which is becoming...

    Creating An Led Set Up For Planted Aquarium

    Thanks, with CO2 and ferts you're into high-tech, I had HC growing under my LED's with CO2 and ferts so you should be fine, but you can always add more LED's onto the circuit should you need them. The thermal grease you have will be fine, but you'll still need to adhere the LED's to them in some...

    Creating An Led Set Up For Planted Aquarium

    The driver is the wrong power rating. You should only need the colour white for a planted aquarium, on a 60 litre, you'd only need 2 LED's for a low tech setup LED's...

    They'll be in there somewhere, unless you've used a copper based treatment in the past.

    Can Someone Reccomend A Good External Filter?

    Go for the 1200, ignore the ratings on the packaging, aim for turn over that is 10x the tanks volume.

    Correct?

    Some very obvious plagiarism there, you only have to google a few sentences to see which bits have been copied. Also, in most of the instances you list such as Temperature and pH fluctuations, the bacteria don't die, they go dormant.

    Led Bulb

    Build your own LED circuit instead, the parts are dirt cheap on ebay. You'd need 3W LED's (you can combine blue and white for the best effect), 3W LED drivers, wire and transformers dependent on the number of LED's, easy.

    Hotter Weather = Hotter Tank.

    Certainly possible, I never run A/c in hotels, the vents are breeding grounds for bacteria, then when you turn it on you're breathing in a load of #106###.

    Laptop Help

    Shouldn't do, the fans are there for a reason, to cool the machine down, if the machine gets too hot it will simply shut itself down. Best thing to do is place your laptop on a piece of wood with multiple holes drilled in it as it allows better ventilation than if it were on your lap.

    Any Mechanics Out There

    Your friend is an idiot, coasting in neutral wastes fuel; And is also detrimental as you don't get engine braking. Moving under the inertia of the car with your foot off the gas saves petrol as the fuel injectors turn virtually off (just enough to keep the engine running), in neutral this...

    Laptop Help

    You're in the UK, the weather is hot so the machine will be running warmer than usual hence why the fans are on, but it's worthwhile checking that the ventilation ports aren't obstructed either.

    Different Types Of Media

    I'd go for what's cheapest and provides the best flow rate, the quantity of bacteria you'll need will never exceed the capacity of the filter media.
