Tell me Why & post up some piccies.... Also wats the downside of shrimps (if any)

I wont be home for several hours but its just a white plastic reflective strip that sits within the hood just above the tube. I'll try & post it up later

A Little help please .....This is from the juwel website & is the hood i have for a Rekord 70 The complete lighting hood for all aquariums measuring 60 x 30 cm. Like all JUWEL Lighting Systems the Monolux 60 is waterproof. The Monolux 60 features a 15W light tube and, to double its light...

Well its a Juwel tank & i can imagine an "official" replacement could be expensive for what it is... Ima check ebay now that i know its called a "reflector".. Cheers

Now Last nite while I was doing my weekly clean, I noticed that the reflective strip/ white plastic above the light had become slighty warped & was hanging out of postion. On attempting to bend it slightly back in position it snapped all over the place :crazy: :crazy: Wheres the cheapest...

Water :hyper: :hyper:

Yes I was maybe thinking that...coz BN plecs are :good: Corys are off my radar now. Well I have a female Albino at the moment & definatley the boss of my tank, shes been in since March 07 and has really come on well.. Is there anything I need to be mindful of if I get an additional BN ...

Right.... Ive kept corys but uptill now had no luck with them :sad: Ive heard that corys prefer sand & I'm thinking thats why the groups Ive had (Sterbia & Panda) have all ended up dying. What other species are good bottom feeders for eating up the food that ends up at the bottom of the...

There's this hairdressers that my dad's been going to for yrs, they've got a tank & always having new fish. I got my old man to ask about the tank & basically a firm comes in & cleans the tanks on a regular basis & also changes the fish round from time to time also. I assume thats wat most take...

Im gonna soak them in de-chrolinated water for the rest of the week & re-enter them to the tank at the weekend. Thanks for all ur advise ppl. :good:

After having some small(ish) stones and an ornament in my tank for a yr now, I decided to soak them in bleach over night to remove the stuborn dirt which just wouldnt come off by scrubbing. They have now come up a treat, I plan to put them back into the tank during next weeks water change, what...

I was surfing round ebay & stumbled on this tank setup for sale in my local area >>> £200 starting bid ?? Wat u reckon ??? Good Value Y or N http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Complete-Aquarium_W0...1QQcmdZViewItem

I watched it thanks alot.. Quick question ...... Is it really necessary to position ur nozzle so that it disturbs to surface water ? wat are the real benefits I have the same tank but dont have my nozel postioned to break the surface water.

Thks so far for ur responses ... So where on the web is the best/cheapest place to purchase a new tube ?

One more thing... On checking the Juwel website, its say you should change the plastic "screw on" rings that hold the tube in place, everytime u change ur tube. Is this another way to get £££ out of u for no reason, or is it a valid point ? Cheers

Posted this in the DIY room, but got no response - hopefully one of u's can advise me. Ive had my tank 11 months and the light has begun to flicker on & off and now never stays fully on. Is this the normal case when tubes are on their way out. Where is the best/cheapest place on the web where...

Ive had my tank 11 months and the light has begun to flicker on & off and now never stays fully on. Where is the best/cheapest place on the web where I can get a replacement. I believe Ive just got a standard light effect, what other effects can i get & in ur opinion what looks the best. Also...

Well I will give u fine ppl a little update. After this post & advice received...I decided to take my 6 Danio's back to the LFS, then got 3 cherry barbs to help fill the void. I have also unfortanely lost my guarami and got 4 new friends for my single lonely cory. I'm currently deciding on a...

So basically ur sayin, that having 2 coarse & 2 fine creates more media for the bacteria's to grow. I actually had spare in the bottom holder (as it only comes with 1 fine blue) but from the outset added an additional fine blue. so I could just sack off the green & black, then add an...

Bravo...its seems 50/50 for the liker & haters of Juwel. Not bad for this place, I won't be bin'ing mine in a hurry.

To be honest after 7 dayz my "white" wool looks past it. Brown in colour with odd bits of plant debri. For the price u pay off ebay, i just change it. I like the idea of 2 "whites" instead of the black though

Thks ppl, I think i got the gist of it.. PS Nice setup Hollypop, are they real plants ??

Thks, What do you think to me removing all the filter medias and giving them a good clean in a bucket containing the recently removed water every week ? good or bad practise ?

Hello again, I would like some views on the correct (or experienced advice) way to look after your Juwel filtermedia. This is what I currently do as part of my weekly maintenance, while doing the weekly 10% water change I Change the White pad for a completely new one. Once a month I replace...

Fine OK...The way it was worded may lead some ppl to initially think that. My humble apologies However if u read the whole post, I was responding to someone who talked about "losing" fish. I initially thought that was a bit distasteful but then before i responded I realised what the advise was...

Don't get it twisted...Wat I was sayin (Which obviously went over ur head) is that the guarami isnt looking to well so I'm thinking it could die soon unfortunately...at that point i would flush it. Do you really think that i would post that I was gonna kill fish on a Public Fish Keepers Forum...

OK, OK just as i thought - No Angel Fish Well the danios were my 1st purchase, they have been fine since Feb - but yes they do rip round the tank at an annoying rate. I did have 4 corys at one stage but 3 have snuffed it, so I'm planning to get some more in the near future. I don't fancy...

Well I've got a Juwell 70 L tank had it since Feb, 60cm high, 45cm deep Still got some fish/lost some fish since then....but I my question is. I really want an Angel Fish (just 1) but from everything I've been reading on here it's probably not a good idea, however this little demon keeps...

Cheers Nirvana, I neva thought that the fish might mix it together...I can just imagine my Bristlenose having a field day and causing a rite mess. I'll take a look at that "eco-complete" stuff in future.

Ive got gravel but wat i've always wondered is :- Is it possible to have both in your tank ?? lets say a seperate section of sand and gravel ? Does anyone have this or heard of this ? Thks in advance

Had mine about 5 mths now and "she" is about 1 & half inch long. She only has very slight prominant bristle's on her nose. I would suggect you probably got a lady coz the male bristles tend to be more prominant.

My question is ....do they help plant growth in anyway ?

Thanks mate....Thats a joke picture rite. When I get time I will take at look at this otha site ...but to be honest since joining this one I haven't needed to look elsewhere.

Danio's ..the Zebra or Leopard variety...I got 3 of each in my 70 L tank as 1st fish. There hard as nails....So u want got wrong with em...also they're live wire's and just bomb around the tank all day long.

Just wanna say thanks to all who have commented...Instresting reading indeed. PS Can someone post up that picture that "pheonix" sent a link too....as I ain't a memba of dat otha forum & u need a user name....

At the weekend I purchased 3 panda cory's. I just want some advice on the best type of food to feed them. I feed my other fish on normal tropical fish food "flake"..but the trouble is my Tetra's & Danio's gobble it up long before any of it gets chance to hit the gravel. I also use Pleco Wafers...

I purchased a 70L Juwel Rekord in Feb and was abit annoyed to find out that i would have to change the white filter each week especially at fish shop prices. I went on Ebay and purchased 80 (over a yr & 1/2's worth) ready cut to size, delivered for less than £10. I suggest u purchase some of...
