I'm with DrRob a small terrarium would be good 

Could be Brochis multiradiatus, ( Hog Nosed Brochis ), found this in the Maidenhead Aquatics databank

For anyone in the UK just thought I would let you know you can get pure ammonia from The Range, 500ml @£1.00

how about something like This http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Drill-pump-heavy-duty-oil-and-fluids-suitable-all-drills-TE472-/140928355039#vi-content I use something very similar for transferring water between water butts, works well, this one states a max pumping height of 15 meters, but that would...

I have never had any issues with APS, I have purchased several items from them, all have been delivered within 48 hours of ordering and with free postage, only had one item that was faulty on arrival, after contacting them a replacement was sent the following day, very good service from my...

who would have thought we would be having overheating trouble in UK, heaters will probably be running flat out again next week

I have had similar problems all day, I use freezer blocks like the ones you put in cool boxes, once they are frozen I attach them on the outside case of external filter using elastic, cools filter case thus gradually cooling water, don't want to cool it to quickly. 

I have used a bottle trap in the past with great success and very little stress in a planted tank where I could not get to fry, easy to make yourself, once made just pop in some of the fry's favourite food and place in tank, and wait, fry can get in but cannot get out, adults wont get in, it may...

Snazy beat me to it :)   to clean impeller remove cover by turning anti clockwise then pull out impeller, clean and replace, (arrowed in picture) to clean pipes I have a small bottle brush on a long plastic cane thats gets pushed through the pipes, if you have really dirty fish you may need to...

Personally I would not recommend any fish as its unfair and cruel to the fish, fish less cycling is the proper way to go, if other animals dogs, cats rabbits etc where put through the same ordeal to acclimatise them to their new homes people would be prosecuted for cruelty, so why is it...

I have the APS1000 and I did a test when fully loaded with media, it ran at just below 10.5L per minute = 635L/H, its been running for 12 months and only had one deep clean, when I say deep clean I mean impeller housing and pipes cleaned out with bottle brush, media baskets have never really...

Wishbone Ash - Argus, probably one of the most played albums in my collection, brought it when I was 12, damn 39 years ago, still as good today as it was when i first heard it :)

Thanks both, think I will start off with 4 try for a few weeks then add 2 more and repeat and compare results, now I just have to get my stand and hood built and I'll be good to go :)

I have been reading of the increase in popularity of using energy saving CFL light bulbs in aquariums, they offer a much cheaper option to T5 lighting and for someone on a very tight budget, these do look to be a very attractive alternative.   The bulbs I have been looking at are these Energy...

24 C = 75.2 F, formula is 24 x 9/5 + 32 (or 24 x.1.8 + 32 ) = 75.2

Take them both, but can only name one, so its got to be Jonah and the whale :)

both tanks will need heater and filter

I have to say I totally agree, even if you get the flow rates of both pipes exact how long will they stay the same, your going to get build up in and around both pipes, what are the chances of it being the same amount in each pipe, for example lets say you set you pipes running at 50lph in and...

I normally cover mine with boiling water and leave to soak for 2 to 4 days, changing water regularly, some wood needs more or less time depending where you get it from

yeah think its gonna be the play sand, got a large 60L bucket ready for the arduous task of washing the life out of it. lol

Your welcome, glad its working for you again, it must have been those pesky forum fairies again 

I never use it, total waste of money, the only thing it benefits is the companys selling it

maybe, I sometime have to refresh for it to show up

working yet?

not the one above chat, at top by your name, then when you click it, has it worked

I get a little red box telling you how many you have got over the notification icon,

thanks will try it that way, I have decided to completely remove all gravel and rescape the whole tank, if your going to do a job do it right, things never look right when you cut corners, I post a pic when its done, cant decide which sand to get, Argos / B&Q playsand which seems very light, or...

hers my settings, I dont have them sent to email

Strange, all mine seem to be working, check the options on notification button make sure the ones you want are all selected, if they are I dont know what it is, I'm sure an admin will help fix it for you

You know your confused when a thread goes from fish to Yorkshire puddings 

I got rid of all my breeding females, don't worry I haven't murdered them they were all rehomed, for the simple reason no one wanted the fry, LFS won't touch them and there's only so many people locally I can give them to, near me there are loads of people advertising them on a daily basis...

I'm due to do a WC tomorrow, I'll remove gravel from front half of tank and put sand in (well washed of course), if I'm very carefull and try to avoid clouding water, how long due you think I would need to leave filter off in case any get into impeller, outlet pipe will be about 2" above sand...

ah OK, what if pushed gravel towards back of tank under and behind driftwood and laid sand on the front half of tank, would that be OK short term.

any idea how long it would take the gravel to come up through a couple of inches sand, hopefully will have the new tank running in about 6 weeks

personally I would keep the two strongest/best looking males if you can tell which they are.

Would it be OK to put sand on top of the existing gravel, the reason being I just got 3 more tiny peppered corries to go with my existing 3, it will only be a temporary fix because as I will be getting my 60g set up soon so all fish will be transferred into that when its ready, my existing...

for me I would try and disguise the filter somehow, I don't like to see equipment in tank, but otherwise its a great looking tank

wonder if anyone can help me, I'm looking for someone, I think her name was Sophie1992 but I cannot seem to find her anymore, I've tried the search function everything, it's as though she has just disappeared ;)

Thanks for that L_M, next time I'm passing I'll pop in and take a look

main prosecution witness is a Mr Severn, as in the river, something fishy about this story
