Hi I have 2 Pterygoplichthys Joselimaianus in my 120x40x60cm planted setup. these are now 5 and 7 inches long and the biggest has started to dig in the substrate. The tank is not ideal as it is a heavily planted tank with high lighting. Does anyone else have these fish and are they very...

Of course ebay - thanks again, will order today.

Thanks for the prompt response Jdubz :good: Had a look but not a Hobbycraft within 20 miles of where I live. Had a look online but only do decorative sheets at £17.99 +p&p which was a bit more than I wanted to spend :/ .

Hi there I have quite a bit of xmas moss and flame moss that I would like to fix to plastic mesh to form a carpet of moss :rolleyes: Does anyone know where I could buy some from or a suitable source :huh: (some form of food packaging?) - I need a piece approx 30cm square.

Hi I have a 260 litre planted tank currently served by an Eheim Professional II 2026 and Fluval 305. The Eheim is rated at 950lph and the Fluval at 1000lph. Now I know that's the rating empty and that it is greatly reduced by the media, but I would like to replace my Fluval as although it has...

Thanks for input - I have gone for the professional II as couldn't really justify the extra expense. Set it up this weekend and runs silently but with good flow - very pleased. The only issues I had was the hoses were too short (my tank is 70cm tall) and eheim also don't provide a ridged elbow...

Hi there I am thinking of replacing my current filter with a eheim professional II 2028 but cannot find any information on the actual physical size (footprint and height) so that I can establish if it would fit in my cabinet can anyone oblige. Also is the 3e the same size and are the 'extras'...

Hi three fingers thanks for feedback, clear tubing would be great. my only concern and I may be wrong bu isn't the fluvel piping 17mm and not 16mm. I know its only 1mm but on a push on fitting would this hold?

Thanks for the input - I will make some enquires at LFS on available tubing.

No comments - thats amazing

Hi there I currently run a fluval 305, which has been very good to date. My question is has anyone managed to change the fluval ribbed hoses for amore standard 'Eheim' type hose? :unsure: The reason I ask is that I would like to remove the heater from wihin the tank and replace it with a Hydor...

Hi there I have just purchased a new arcadia T5 4no tube overhead luminaire for my Rena 1200mm planted tank. The light fitting is excellant and well made and looks great, but i have one problem. The tank is 70cm deep and mounted on a stand about 65cm deep in my lounge, so when I sit on the sofa...

Hi Rabbut, thanks for response. Its is the unit the cermaic holder at one end that you slot the tube into has broken and part melted. I went to LFS today and they had a Arcadia T5 4 tube unit on a tank and this has 2 plugs (1 plug to 2 tubes) so I would be able to plug these into my timers to...

Hi there My original rena aqualife lighting bar which holds 2no T8 tubes has burnt out so only 1 tube is working. I have searched the net for Rena spares but to no avail. I have also looked at buying the Arcadia Overhead luminaire (3 or 4 tubes) but beleive that these only come with one plug so...

Hi Its nearer to Parotocinclus maculicauda but I still dont think it is this exact species as the markings and the body shape are slightly different.

Hi - yes thats the one, mine is about 30mm (1.5") long. They swim and move more like a miniture pleco than the darting movement of the dwarf otos. It is very hard to find any information on this species as you say.

Hi there I recently purchased 3 otocinclus from my lfs of which two were dwarf otos (affinis) but the third is completely different. After some research I beleieve it is a Marbled Otocinclus (paulinus)? Does anyone know if these require the same requirements to keep or do they have special...

Used Eden 501 on my 60l tank and worked well. you have to keep the filter at the same level as the tank as the pump is not that strong, but gives a good flow when used with spray bar. the filter has 2 compartments of which one is occupied by the sponge. the other compartment can be filled with...
