I'm after one of these to upgrade my rio 240 which currently has a 600.    Has to be an eccoflow version not the old juwel 1000 powerheads or won't fit in the new tank i don' believe.    I'm in Sheffield but happy to pay postage obviously.    Thanks

Can't work out how to upload them on my iPad. Video included instead.

Hi, i'm starting a new project and my first venture into African Cichlids! Having previously kept tropical and marine set ups this is a new challenge and somewhere in between the 2. (gave up marines due to the expense mainly and never found standard tropicals satisfying enough, hence the new...

Thanks for the advice, been to argos today and bought 2 bags, just over £6, good deal! Pics look great by the way! Now, onto filtration.....

Thanks, nice setup there. Yours doesn't look too brown / yellow really, may go for that. So no cheap sources of white sand in the UK then!?

Hi, i'm about to get going setting up a 75g mbuna tank and want a nice cheap, safe white sand substrate. Anyone any ideas where to source this in the UK and should I be staying away from Silica? B&Q have 'natural' play sand but it looks brownish, not really up for that colour! Any general...

Unfortunately 'she' has put her foot down, just a little too large for us i'm afraid, sorry! Good luck with the sale.

Ok thanks, i shall consult the Mrs and get back to you asap, she may be concerned about the size..... fingers crossed!

Are the dimensions 2ft deep, high and 4ft wide? The depth looks less on the pics. Thanks

Is this still for sale? I may be interested if so! Thanks

Hi, i'm looking to upgrade to a Rio 240 - Tank and stand preferably but would consider Aquarium only at the right price. I'm based in Sheffield but am willing to travel to collect. Can pay via paypal or cash. Thanks

Thanks Wills, good advice, i'll check the Ls out! Pair of pearls sounds good, maye get some rummynose tetras etc.... black neons.... Ye i've heard about the blue rams, Bolivians possibly the way forward then, they just look a bit plain to me lol Marine, far to expensive for me, i had an...

Hi, i'm about just starting to stock my rio 180, back to trops after a stint in the marine world! I'm after a mix of a large number of tetra, maybe a gourami, pair of blue rams, bristlenose and some corys...... Any views on this idea? I want a nice looking gourami that gets to around 4/6...

bump - open to offers

Looking for £20 - pick up preffered. You will need to do a little diy with tubing and piping as it does not come with all the parts you would get in the original pack (i got this second hand) Shouldnt cots you anymore than a fiver really. (the inlet piping assembly is all there, its just the...

Hi there, im currently planning my move into Marines! Done some extensive reading here and on ur.net (currently seems to be down for some reason?) Im looking at a tank around 36x18x18 - fish and soft corals (as a newbie to marines im not going for any fancy hard to keep corals) Lighting -...

Hi, i am considering building my own reef tank, only a nano - 3ft long.... i am fine with the stand etc.. but am really struggling to find any relatively cheap glass fro the tank. Can anyone help with a cheap source in the uk? And what about the cutting? Thanks

Hi, im interested in having some sort of surface cover at one end of my tank to shelter the fish from light etc and give them some extra hiding places etc. I dont have real plants in my tank and am not really sure on which ones i could get hold of that arent a hassle. What other alternatives...

Just a quick update on my tank: finished fishless cycle finally - took 4 weeks and 1 day! I purchased some aeriators and after running constantly for 3 days i noticed my nitrites were falling, within 12 hours they dropped to 0. I added ammonia and to raise the level to just under 2 mg/l and...

Nice 1, ive cycled a tank before using air stones at a lower temp than im currently at and it only took 16 days. Gunna buy some air pumpage tomorrow i think lol!!! How long did your nitrites stay high for?

Quick question, do air stones make a big difference in the speed of the cycle? Im about a week into my nitrite spike, and will have been cycling for a month on monday so am getting a little p*"£$sed off with the whole process! anythin to speed it up!

Finally my ammonia munching bacteria seem to have developed, ammonia is being converted v quickly into nitrite, my nitrites have spiked, off the colour chart. This started happening wednesday/thursday of last week. Im wondering how much ammonia i need to add daily to keep the bacteria fed? I...

yep 100% used dechlorinater, and on the water change. Will perform a massive water change tomorrow to get the level down. Ammonia has been up there from the start. Temp is about 83/84 degrees. Im having concerns about these juwel pumps/filters, they arent very powerful and dont seem to...

Hi, im on day 16 and im still not seeing any nitrite. its less than 0.3 mg/l and has been for over a week now. My ammonia level is still high, 4 mg/l or so. Ive done a 30 % water change, 2 days ago, no change, its taking forever and im not happy lol!!!! Tank temp is in the 80s, ph 7.5 ish...

Hi, thanks for the advice, just wondering, woudl it be ok to put some filter media from a pond into the tank to get the process started?

Need some advice please! Ive had a juwel rekord 96 (approx 96 litre volume) set up and fishless cycling for 11 days now. the heater is on to the low 80s. I havent added any media to the tank containing bacteria. (from lfs etc) - assumed it wouldnt make a massive difference. I added 5ml of...

Thanks, the tank is approx 21 imperial gallons, 25 us. Im still cycling so wont be doing anything fish wise for a while. So it would it be a bad idea to have serpae/bleeding hearts with cardinals / rummy nose???? Cheers

Thanks, i said the above after reading numerous posts on here regarding the aggresive nature of serpae and bleeding hearts. Having never kept either species i am only going on that. So do you believe if i got a small shoal of either of the above they woudl be ok in my tank? no conflicts with...

Hi i have nearly finished my cycle of this tank, im planning on putting a bn plec and a pair of blue rams in eventually. I would also like a decent sized shoal or 2 of tetra. Any recommendations? I like the bleeding heart tetra and serpae, however after reading up i dont think either go with...

Hi, im currently cycling my new tank, been out of the fish game a for a year or so, but eager to get back in!!! In terms of stocking, im thinking a BN cat, a pair of blue rams and a some tetra, species of which is yet to be decided!!! Saw some serpae at the lfs today but have done my research...

Thanks, so it wont stain anything permanently then i assume?

Hi, i have purchased some bogwood from my lfs, never used it before and havew followed some advice fom various sources, soaked it in boiling water etc...... Its been in a bucket for 24 hours and ive just checked the water, there is no colouration whatsoever. Ive just put it in my sink and used...

Cheers for that, is one male ok on its own and do i need bogwood? Are there any major compatibility issues with BN plecs? Has anybody else got a similar size tank or the same one? id be interested to hear what you have in yours for stocking ideas. Thanks

Hi, just purchased this tank, its about 20 imperial gallons - am currently cycling it and am beginning to plan for some new additions. Firstly, would a BN plec be too bog for this size tank? ive seen contrasting reports. Secondly, how about some Blue Rams, what woudl go nicely with them...

Thanks, will do.

Hi, i have a 60cm 25watt tube, its about 2 inches above the waters surface. Just over 1 watt per gallon. But seen as this is a floating plant and near the surface i imagine this is ok???? Can i just put the plants in the tank or are there any precautionary measures i should take?

Hi i have a 20 uk gallon 3ft tank, the tank is my first proper aqaurium and from the reading i did before starting up i decided to use fake plants so id have one less thing to worry about. Anyway, my tank is no full and doing well, i bought a male and two female gouramis and therefore had to...
