Thanks CCSKitten, and I agree. The curved front is much better than a traditional flat front, if for no other reason that it looks a lot more modern. BTTT B-)

I bought this off ebay without realising that it weighs upwards of 250kg when filled, as I live on a 1st floor flat it has sat unused in my spare room and the wife is not happy. The tank is in great condition, with only a few minor scratches that won't show when full. The stand seems unmarked...

No doubt a slightly daft question - but is it okay to have just one discus in a tank? I've always fancied keeping them but read in several places that you need to keep them in at least groups of 6 and in a tank that offers 10g per fish. Stunning tank btw, and those rams are wonderful.

Forgot to mention, there is a heater too.

As per title, I have this very good condition set-up for sale. It includes pump, lights, filter, background and two (boxed) reflectors. I bought it off second-hand without considering the weight and the fact I live on a first-floor flat - very naive and frustrating I know. Looking for £130...

Completely answers my question, thanks Essjay. In other words, my filter is goosed.

Can anyone help me on this? I suppose I just need to know whether the propellor bit is fixed to the pump or loose. Anyone tried to fix it before or glue them into place?

I have a Juwel Rio 125 which has the standard internal filter. A while ago it started getting a bit noisy, so I took it apart. The cause of the noise appears to be the impellor, which is loose. Looking at it, the impellor is attached to a magnetic core - my question is should this be glued in...

Rossyt99 - I've just looked at your tank profile and you have rummy-nose tetras in with the angels. Is this okay?? I knew that angels eat neon tetras and had assumed it was the same for all that size. The reason I ask is that I have 6 cardinal tetras which I had planned to rehome, but would have...

Thanks for the quick reply. The tank is planted, and I'm planning to get even more when my new CO2 system is set up. I will get an angel a little bigger and when I add it I shall re-arrange all the slate and wood so that the two of them will both have to fight it out for territory.

I have one male dwarf gourami in my 125 litre tank, would he accept an Angel fish into the tank? There are other fish too, but I know that they are okay companions. Thanks, Tony

Don't worry, the tank is fully cycled. I used the media and water from my previous tank which I emptied as I filled up the new one. Thanks for the suggestions, I will try angling the tubes upwards. Incidently, does anyone know how high I can fill the tank to? There doesn't appear to be a max...

Hi, I've just bought a rio125 secondhand and set it up on Friday. I have a slight problem in that the flow rate from the filter is too fast and my (community) fish are getting 'blown' all over the place. With the tank I got some angled tubes which I know are for diverting the flow, I have...

Thanks GouramiFan. Regarding the tank, it is around a 14 gallon so I calculate that I could fit one more dwarf in (tank capacity = 14", tetrax6 = 6", spar. gx3 = 3.75", dwarfx1 = 2" leaves 2.25" of fish left). Thats good news about the third sparkling gourami being okay, actually in the tank...

Hello all, I have a newly (fishless) cycled and planted 54 litre tank with the following occupents - 1 x male dwarf gourami, 3 x sparkling gouramis and 6 x cardinal tetras. My dwarf gourami is pacing back and forward constantly, primarily against the glass - is this good? I guess he's trying to...

Looks great! What type of rams are they in the very first picture, and how does your figure of 8 puffer get on with the rest of the tankmates? Does the puffer like the freshwater, as I did read somewhere that they prefer brackish water...

Hi, I am looking for a fishtank and came across this on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/48-ltr-Fish-Tank-Kit...1QQcmdZViewItem It is not a brand I can find elsewhere, was wondering if it is infact another brand just relabelled. Or hould I just save some more?

Thats great, thanks for the advice!

A quick and sensible question. Currently I have goldfish, but really aspire to a tropical aquarium. I have researched all the neccessary info in setting up and looking after such a tank, no problem there. Issue is that I work long hours and commute far, generally I leave the house at 7am and...
