Hi I got my Aqua One tank and stuff from Webbs of Wychbold near Droitwich in Worcestershire - (http://www.webbsofwychbold.co.uk/) Give the Aquatics dept a ring and see if they can help you. Chris

I filled my up with the my hose - although i did run hot water through it first to try and get rid of anything that may be lurking in the hose itself! When you fill it up with the hose, check you dont put it tap on fully or it will move all your sand/gravel. i only put it on a little bit and...

no, i want it for tropical fish! looks like ill take a trip to the lfs and se what they are ging to do - i noticed they should have supplied 25w tubes and not 20's as well!

Hi Now, I know that the rule of thumb for working out the watts per gallon is 1-2wpg for fish and more for plants. Does this take into a count the reflector or just the tube wattage? My tank has 2x20Watt flourescent tubes, with a reflector "doubling" the amount of light being delivered to the...

You do need to find out why teh tank cracked in the first place. Is it level all the way round? Use a spirit level for this. Also did you have polystyrene at the bottom of your tank - between its base and the surface it sat on? Keeping the tank level is important so that the weight...

I see what you're getting at and I dont know is the short answer A UPS battery, from flat, takes about 2 hours to fully charge to give a computer about 10-15 mins of running time before it runs out (assuming 400va and an average 400w for the computer + whatever your screen uses). So, if you...

The UPS is pemanently plugged into the mains, with your extension into it - this way, the UPS is always cahrged and ready to roll whenever it all goes awry. Dont know what type of battery it is, but it is sealed and when it dies you ring up the UPS company and they send a new one to you...

***DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING*** Yes, get a UPS for a computer (fancy battery that will last ages on a fish tank - about £40 from dabs.com) and: 1. Get an extension cable (normal one, not surge protected) 2. Get the cable that comes with the UPS and grab its "female" end...

Volume of a hex tank is simply (!): where l = length of a side and h = height of side

Ive got laminate flooring on a concrete base (laminate made from MDF, not solid wood) and my 250Kg weighty tank and stand will leave some "dimples" on the laminate so ive put some spare laminate boards ontop to avoid actually damaging the "floor" itself. The laminate does hold, but will leave a...

Hi I found out the reason why they "shouldnt" be used. Some tubes can draw upwards of 30 Amps at startup - which of course is catered for on some *lighting* circuits but not on *socket* circuits (13A). Although most dont draw that much at startup, some do and actually fuse the timer switch...

Thanks, I'll pop up to B&Q and see what they have - there is an electrical wholesaler down the road who actually sell to the public (shock horror!) so I'll see what they have too

If you are in the UK, Homebase do "Household Ammonia" - should be with all the mops etc! This is 9.5% Ammonia solution.

Hi Im just about to get my tank delivered (wednesday all being well) and I want to get a time switch for the lighting on it. Ive looked at some from Homebase but they specifically state "not for flourescent, low energy or discharge lighting" Anyone know somewhere that sells timers that are...

Thankfull,y (or not maybe...) I happen to know the poster!
