Hey a few days ago I wandered in to the lfs and in one of the tanks was a comon pleco, the very same type they sold me a couple of weeks before, only this one looked like it'd been feeding on some radioactive material, it was massive. I asked the guy in the fish shop how old it was and he told...

Hi I've decided to have 1 last go at my tank (3rd times the charm), about this time last year I replaced the lights in my Juwel 260 Vision with an Arcadia I-Bar lighting system with 2 full spectrum tubes, ordered a rake of plants off greenline and replanted my tank, put some new fish in and...

Ive just been thinking - would I be able to fit a regulator valve to a soda stream (fizzy drink maker) co2 bottle, if so I could just exchange them at asda down the road for a few quid when it runs out ? However ive got a feeling they probably dont have a standard fitting on the top of the...

Thanks for the replys guys, all this co2 bizz is getting a bit confusing, could you have a quick look at the following links and let me know which you think would be best. This is the sort of short list Basic 300l off the German dude Bit more gagety off the German dude or the JBL Proflora...

Yeah I've been looking at them (JBL ones), however, I can only find one site that states the size of the tank they are for and it says upto 200 litre, as mine is 260 I doubt this is going to be big enough to do the job. The rest of the sites just sell the product with no guidelines on the size...

Can anyone recommend a good CO2 system for 260 litre tank, either with cylinder or sugar/yeast jobbie. Thanks Steve.

K, just reinstalled xp on my computer so am back online :D Ok, first the bumble bee loach i think is a bumble bee catfish, certianly looks like the ones i can find on the net. About the clown loaches, my tank is 121cm x 62cm x 46cm which certianly looks big enough, and the lass at the...

OK folks, I've had my Juwel Vision 260 up and running for about 12 months now and to he honest ive had nothing but problems with it. I've almost thrown in the towel more than once. Most of the fish have died, the lass at the aquarium said i was feeding them too much so ive cut down on the...

Hi all Was half way through my weekly water change and i noticed something weird going on around the top of my tank ornimants. On closer inspection there was a rake of fry swimming about around the rim. It looks like my kribs have had babies - thought they were getting on well :wub: ...

good thinking.

disaster averted. got the little bugger out. The middle plastic bit in the filter pulls out the I knocked him (genlty) out into a bucket of tank water. Then he escaped my clutches and got loose on the front room carpet. Trapped him under a pint glass and put him back in the tank. only...

about 10 mins ago I watched one of my two red crabs climb its way up the edge of my internal filter (juwel vision 260, sealed inplace internal filter). Anyway I watched him climb up the edge and then out of the water. I lifted the lid to have a look what he was up to as there is a way of...

Dont know, im new to this myself but I got a 2 rams a couple of days ago for my community tank, woman in shop said they *should* be allright. I thought they looked a bit vicious but too cool not to have. I'll be interested to see how this thread pans out.

I have a Juwel Vision 260 tank, stocked with a nice selection of community fish. Anyway, yesterday I was mooching around my local aquarium and I noticed that they were selling the fluval filters with 40% off. Now I seem to remember reading somewhere that the standard Juwel filters are not the...

Hi, For the last couple of weeks I've been having a real problem with white spot. A couple of weeks ago I started using Protozin http://www.waterlife.co.uk/waterlife/protozin.htm As I was about to put in the 4th dose on the 6th day I noticed that one of my Guppies was literally covered in...

no I just used plain tap water, but I'll treat it anyway. Thanks for your advice you've been a real help tonight.

dont think so, by air cartridges you dont mean the air bubble stones ? To be honest I think Im zeolite free. While im here Ive had 20L of water standing in buckets for over a week now, I was going to do a water change a few days ago but never got round to it, do you think it'll be safe to use...

whats zeolite ? ta.
