External is the way to go. I recently bought a JBL E700. My water is crystal clear, the flow is amazing and it looks so much better in my tank. I cleaned it for the first time last weekend, I couldnt believe how dirty is was inside. It cleans soooo well!

any pictures with the fish in?

I have an inside thermometre. I have been told that the outside stick on ones are susceptable to room temperature as they read the surface of the glass. The inside ones have the exact temps instead of colours too

any photos of the tank??

Yup! my neighbour had two, both in a fluval edge!!! i took one off of her and she took one back to the shop after they both got a bit too big i couldnt believe they even sold her a pleco for that tank, let alone 2

ahhh boll***s, i have the same catfish! he's growing quite nicely. He's lovely to watch swimming around the tank with all his fins open. I was planning to re-home him at some point but i may have to re-home him sooner now.. (i also inherited mine)

wow. I bet that looks amazing!

lol I have a common pleco which i call Brian

I have 6 rummynose, they all shoal very tightly together from one side of the tank to the other, very funny to watch. They keep themselves to themselves, i have never seen any sort of fin nipping or aggression. They are quite pale in the morning until the lights come on, then they have really...

Ahh I didn't know that! I'd love to have your tank

any views from inside the tank?

Very nice. Are you going to add any of the blue ones in the future?

It is a very nice tank! well done. How many litres is it?

wohh them plants have gone crazy at the left. I'd be tempted to get a bigger piece of wood in replace of that bridge (bigger than the piece on the left. Maybe some carpeting plants around the wood on the left?

It looks good mate. Do you have any fertilizer under the sand?

That bit of wood on the right is awesome. I'd love to get something like that for my tank re-vamp

In the 'Journals' section. There are some cracking tanks on here. They have certainly given me inspiration

looking good!

i've been trying for months and months now to persuade my girlfriend to let me have the fluval 240 or a couple of smaller tanks for some Betta's. She's said i can have the 200 instead if i stop talking about having tanks all over the house. Its a fair compromise. give it a year or 2 and i...

holy **** i'm hoping to get a 200 litre next. I'd love a massive tank

depends on gravel. They like smooth pebel like gravel, not sharp rock type. It damages their mouths

for some reason i thought this was for a 10 gallon tank. I think the minimum size tank for pygmy's is a 10 gallon with at least 6 members

i'd have a minimum of 6 pygmy cory's

woooooah! how big is your tank Tizer?

That does look pretty impressive!

Nice one! At the moment i have: 6 rummynose tetras 5 black phantom tetras 2 lime tetras 3 silver tip tetras 1 common pleco 2 otto catfish 1 celestial dannio 1 zebra dannio 1 male guppy I know that the tetras and the dannio should be in larger groups. They were until i bought some diseased...

WOW!! your tank is amazing. You have sold the cat litter to me i love the plants in this pic. I want all of these for my tank! especially the one in the middle with the bubbles behind cheers!!

Thank you very much! thats another 'tick' for the cat litter i just need to see a few tank pics now to make me 100% sure

Hi, Some of you may have seen my recent thread on changing my current tank layout from a gravel to argos play sand. However, i have been persuaded by a couple of members on here to try Tesco cat litter. I'm now seriously looking into this My main concern is, would this base be suitable for...

ahhh ok. Thank you very much for your help guys!! i may seriously consider using the cat litter. Your tank looks nice by the way!

ahh ok, thanks for the advice! i've never really considered the cat litter route. My two cats use it so i think it takes the appeal away :lol: i'd need to see some pictures of other peoples tanks who have used it to get a good idea. I had my heart set on sand. If i was to put root tabs in...

Hi folks, I’m in the planning process of changing my current tank setup to a planted tank. I was thinking of changing the gravel to sand, Argos play sand to be precise. I was also going to have a layer of plant fertilizer under the sand. However, since doing plenty of research on the net...

I'd personally choose the Assassin snail route. I have them myself. They have nice shells and do the job perfectly

Stunning fish! what's their needed water conditions? i'd love a pair

Sucking loach? if it is them, they will grow to about 6 inches

looks good mate! the vallis looks good. Will look even better as it grows taller. my opinion: I'd add some amazon swords maybe to the area where the bubbles are or where the vallis is on the far right of the tank. I'd also add some moss to the wood. It would give it a really good natural look...

Some vallis on the far left hand side would look great. Especially if it grows tall and 'floats' on the top of the water oh and by the way... clean your glass :lol:

A very nice natural looking tank!

Unfortunatly not. I have a Fluval U2 in my Fluva Roma 90 tank and i am switching to an external. My advice would be to research external filters. They would be much better for your tank/fishies with a higher filtration rate per hour and they are a lot easier to clean (no more having to put...

Thanks for the advice guys. I'd seen some videos of people adding dividers to the tanks, however, sometimes they look a bit unsightly (with the silicon against the glass in view) I just wish there was a company that did special Betta tanks like Fluval, where it was all done professionally and...
