The clown will eat all snails even the bigger types of snails. I have had 4 clowns and they are good at eatign snails.

Because if i get it drilled 50mm then they would deliver the glass ( 6ft ) and then if it was two small i would need to send it back off to get drilled again. I have been told by the shop who  im buying the glass off that they can drill any hole up to 50mm for free so the shop im buying the...

Just a quick update i have repaired the tank and have left the silcone dry for 48 hours now im filling it up to see if it will leak. The plan is to fill it right up and leave it for a week to see if it leaks.I have put silcone over the crack and then a plane of glass over the crack and then put...

You will ether need to get rid of the whole tank and buy a nw one or replace the bottom bit of glass. I have had the same thing happen to me a few days ago. You can find my thread here with some answers http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/427324-cracked-fish-tank/

Could i ask instead of replacing the whole bottom sheet couldn't you put a strip over the crack ? If i replaced the whole bottom sheet i would need to drill holes for the overflow and stuff.

So i have been having problems with undoing my bulkheads for a while now i done them up hand tight and then clicked on that i put them on wrong ( the nut was in side ) So i have been trying to undo the nuts for months now with no luck so i thought id saw the nut off which worked both bulkheads...

And what about the black and white seals ?? Im guessing it goes on how it is in the photo ? Just the nut on the outside instead of inside.

So i think i have installed my bulkheads the wrong way i have the nut on the inside of the tank and then the black seal unde the nut on the inside and then the white seal on the out side of the tank. The black seal in side is bigger than the white seal. Im guessign the nut and black seal needs...

So i have seen these Columbian Shark Catfish in my local pet shop. I have a 6ft tropical tank. I bought 2 of them and added them into my tank i then did some googleing and found out that when they get to adult size then need to go from a tropical tank to a marine tank is this true ? My local pet...

So a few days ago i went into my local pet shop and seen 3 catfish which they had named has "aluminium catfish" so today i went back in to buy them and there was only 2 left so i bought them and added them into my tropical fish tank. After doing a lot of search on google i found that they might...

I have been lookign for a 500w tank heater but looks like they all come from china with a  us plug on.   edit i just found this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hotsellnow4-Aquarium-Adjustable-Submersible-Stainless/dp/B00C3DMER4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1381784608&sr=8-2&keywords=500w+fish+tank+heater

    Don't bigger tanks hold the heat iin better ?? I was told in my locla pet shop that smaller tanks lose the temp faster than bigger tank and also bigger tanks have less water problems.... Also i have a internal pump till i set my sump up so a inline one would not work i do not think.

Nope i have never seen inline heaters, With my old 300w heater i set it to around 30c or 32c and the temp around the heater was around 30 - 32c but the rest of the tank was around 28c so i was thinking i could buy another 200w or 300w and then set it higher like i did before.... The problem is...

So i was messing with my fish tank overflow and i noticed my heater some how broke the glass on the heater cracked in half and fell of so the springs in side was showing. I was thinking i was very lucky i didn't get a shock. It was a 300w heater which i had for 3 years. So now my fish has been...

Thank you for the help.

So i went to my local pet shop to day to buy some fish and i seen these fish i liked which had a tint of pink i thought they was rams but they was a lot smaller.   I asked to buy them and the  shop owner didn't know if they was rams or "miniature rams" which are half of the size of rams and will...

    I have silconed the whole of the inside of the bulkhead ( around the nuts ) I left it 48 hours but still leaked though.... I have a inbuilt overflow in the center of my tank with 2 holes in the middle of.     There is a screen shot of what i mean. I have 2 bulkheads with the screen on the...

The bulkhead will not come out i would have to burn the bulkhead out i think. I have filled the overflow up half way with sand and the leak slows down....  I was thinking if i fill it up the whole way maybe it will stop.. So the water will go though 12 inch of sand im guessing ? Im thinking if i...

So i have a overflow built into the center of my tank and installed 2 bulkheads by hand to the overflow. I fill up the overflow and have noticed the one is leaking very badly so i have googled around and worked out that i put the bulkhead on the wrong way ( the nut is on the inside ) so i have...

When you say red Plecs do you mean albino plecos ?? They will grow was to big for you tank.

I so wish i thought of putting the nut on the out side before i spent all day putting it on the inside. I have a overflow in my tank and have 2 holes at the bottom of the overflow for inlet and outlet and i had to try and get ym arm down in the overflow to screw the nut on well another person...

I contacted the seller who i bought it off and was told i had it the wrong way and that the screw bit goes on the outside of the tank and not the inside. At this point i all ready siliconed the bulkhead up. So now i have to wait a few days for it to cure and hope for the best.

What kind of sealant ? I have some fish tank silcone here but they say not to use it because it makes the rubber seal move....

So i have just added two bulkheads to my tank and there seems to be a little drip coming from them both,.   Im just wondering if the nut goes on the inside of the tank or out ??   Here is a photo of my bulkhead    

    I have one of these " normal ones "     And then a golden one. The normal one and the golden one use to come up to the front of the tank once you walk up to the tank. They would come out.The tank size is 6 x 2 x 2 so loads of room for both rams to swim away from each other.

So i had a normal ram in my tank and thought it was  a bit lonely so went to my pet shop to get some more but they only had the golden ones in so i bought 2 golden ones. I added them into the tank and i noticed the next day the one golden on died. So now i have one golden one and one normal one...

But then i would be scared of the outlut from the pump falling out of the tank... If you look how higher the overflow is to the glass surport  on each side of the overflow ( the first image ) I am guessing the outlut pipe would be under water ?If i put a pipe in the outlut bulkhead and then a t...
