Many thanks for the prompt replies. I will check them all out. Alternatively I may fashion a wind turbine from scrap wood and a typewriter and power it that way :blink:!. The Oase Aquamax 2000 seems really efficient from what I have read. Now to find the best priced retailer!!!!!! Ta Klein

Hi All Sorry if this has been asked before (I did search previous threads). I have a approx 2mx1.5mx.75mdeep goldfish pond. My Hozelock Titan 2000 pond pump which runs a Hozelock pressuirised bioforce UVC circular filter has died. My experience is that its not worth reparing these pumps but...

The Wolf thanks I agree with you. On the occassions I have had to order hozelock spares the aftersales has eaten up entire lunchtimes just waiting to speak to someone who eventually dispatches the wrong product AAAAAAAhhhhhhh!!!!!!! It then took them so long to refund an incorrect item that...

Hi all am just about to replace my hozelock bioforce 2200uvc pressurised filter for the pond. Am not sure whether to replace it with a hozelock bioforce 3000 at £52 or try the new Pond One (part of Aqua One), claritect 3000 at £105. I am dissapointed with my old hozelock filter as it died 1...

Many thanks John

Check out 'Aqua One' Most of their tanks come as complete deals with cabinets and a decent sized external filter. Most lfs have an aqua one A5 brochure with all the options in. Great value and some cool designs. John UK

I didnt think of that. I assumed that as the spray bar was not actuallly introducing any visible bubbles into the tank that the water would be lacking in oxygen, plants seem to be thriving in caribsea black looking substrate, lots of new growth. Maybe i dont need a bubbler. But if i do for...

Hi all I have my eheim 2026 running nicely in my 40x40x90cm 'aqua one' euroview 204L tank and all is well. The filter does however not put any bubbles into the water. I'd like an air pump to add some bubbles/oxygen but require some advice as to a good reliable brand/model that is not too...

nice one thanks for the advice i think i'll try efimech, sustratpro, blue and white filter sponges but no carbon or carbon pads. John

Sam Many thanks when you just use sponge only do you just fill the cannister with more than one of the course blue eheim sponges/fine white filter sponges or do you just still use one only and leave the media baskets partially empty? Also my filter came with ceramic noodles but no...

Hi all I have a new 204L community tank and have run the eheim filter that I got with it for 1 month now (Eheim 2026 Pro 2 cannister filter). My plant selection arrives this week and as its time to chuck the old carbon (used for 1 month) I am keen to know the best filter media combination for...

Hi all Its time for me to replace some of my media on my Eheim 2026 Pro 2 cannister filter. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced store/online retailer. BTW my plant selection arrives this week so do I need to omit the SUBSTRATPRO and ACTIVE CARBON SPONGE? Ita a 204L community tank and...

hi Neal I purchased an Aqua One Euroview 90 (204 litre) tank package last week from my LFS. I noticed that although its a 36 inch tank the aqua one luminaire (same styla as yours) only takes 2 x 24 watt T5's with no option to upgrade. I did a deal and said they could keep the aqua one...

Thanks lads I'll have a surf and check them out. regards John West Sussex

Hi all I was thumbing through PFK magazine and there are a few companies that specialise in mail order plants only. They do bundle packages for £9, £12, £18 etc etc. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a supplier for me make my first order with. I did notice that one was awarded a...

Many thank Will read the thread later today John

I just wanted to say a big thank you to all the TFF users for helping me to rediscover why I got into fishkeeping in the first place. Some 18 years ago. (I'm 31 now) Over the last few years I lost my way a little and became dissappionted with my tank and its presentation (36x15x12). It was...

Hi All Well its been 1 week now that my two angels have been moved from their old 120L tank to a lovely new 204L Aqua One Euroview tank. I've had the fish for a few years now but this week they have spawned. The fish and eggs are identical to the picture on PG 64 of novembers PFK regarding...

MMMMMMMMMmmmmm interesting Ta for the thoughts. John West Sussex

:D Made me smile John

I read a review or advert in PFK a few months back and the product sounded handy. It implied that by smearing the product on a new tank (front inner face) you dont actually stop algea growth but it is far more easily wiped off with less effort. I'm thinking of applying this to a new tank It...

Many thanks for the replies lads. Aqua One sound ok. May venture in to town at the weekend and have a closer look at the Aqua One Euroview (204L) regards John

Any Aqua One lovers out there with an opinion to spare? John

Some useful advice I have prepared a suitably 'stiff' letter and await their reply. I will let you know of the outcome (assuming they reply at all). PS Windsor Aquatics kindly offered similar useful advice. John

Has anyone had dealings with ‘Clear Seal’ aquarium manufacturers in Birmingham? I’m currently trying to have a 36x18x12inch ‘Clear Seal’ tank repaired/replaced by them under warranty. The tank is just under 5 years old on a 5 year warranty. The glass bracer bar which runs from...

Hi all I’m looking to replace my old 36x18x12 inch tank for a bigger one to create a planted community aquarium. I have 2 small angels , 2 small loaches (khuli loach?) and one small plec (black with what looks like white/gold water ripples across its body). I would like to go for an Aqua...

Hi Piltdownpaul Can I add a question to your thread? Do you like your Aqua One tank? I'm considering a 300L bow fronted Aqua One tank and any opinions would be handy , its for a community tropical setup. BTW Piltdown is 13 miles from me in East Sussex, is there a piltdown in leciester too...

I understand that the T in 620T refers to tall , but how much taller than the standard tank is it? am considering a 300L Aqua One tank thats all. Thanks John West Sussex

Hi If creating a syphon on that length is a problem just start it off with a powerhead or something to force the water through till the syphon starts. Alternatively prime the hosipipe with water using a funnel and a plug on the other end of the hosepipe ( duck tape or a cork should do) then...

Just bought a eheim 2026 pro 2 after searching all the canister filter links on this site last week. Its great, very quite and i have never had such clean water. will run a tank up to 350l although my tank is only 110l. i am planning for future larger tank. Many clever features and does what...

Hi I have a 'Clear Seal' tank that size. Its 18x15x32 Came from Petsmart superstore Eastbourne (not sure if they are still in business). Not expensive, I think about £50/65 for the tank and £25 for a fitted black hood (lighting extra). Nice tank, not flash but not silly money either...

Thanks Egmel you have mail John

I went to get a copy today in town as it reviews the 'Aqua One' external filter I am considering buying but alas they are already selling the November issue. If anyone has the external 'filter review' available as a fax or email that would be great otherwise I'd gladly pay postage costs if...

Many thanks all for your help I am suprised to hear my 3 ft tank is overstocked with 5 fish in it. The two angels are about 4 inches high and the pleci is about 3 inches long. The 2 bottom feeding loaches are about 1.5 inches long. The reason I raised the query about Aqua One is that my...

You know how it is, you just pop in to the local stockist to pick up some live food as a treat and leave thinking your whole aquarium set up is very... er.....yesterday. I run a 36x12x15 inch 'Clear Seal' standard rectangular tank (not sure how many litres that is)with integral hood and light...
