Rossyt99 may I say your tank looks a real credit to you, lovely fish too. :good: In answer too the original question, I have my clowns in with Angels and Rams with no problem as they are all small, but will eventually need at least a 5x2x2.

Thank you for your replies, after borrowing a friends API kit this afternoon and comparing it to mine, we had almost identical results, so i am happy to carry on using the Hagen kit. As far as GH goes I really do like to use softer water for Angels and more especially for Rams, which is why I...

As DevUK says, I got mine from Argos its Play sand and is 3.99 for 15k. Cleaning with a gravel cleaner can be done with a little practice or I clean mine with a small net first to get the big bits up, then use the gravel cleaner for the finer stuff. Putting gravel or stones on the surface is up...

darrel69 that is one lovely tank. Well done. How do you get such clear photos of your stunning fish though ?

Hi all, I have wasted money buying individual tests as opposed to the master kits, So today I went out and bought a master kit by Nutra fin. It was £19.99 but I have since found that it does not include a test for hardness. I should have asked on here before buying, but does anyone have any...

There is a water level line on my tank, which is the same as yours and the water level line is about three quaters of an inch from the top of the filter inlet slots. Hope this helps.

Hello Shae, You should be very proud of yourself, you have a lovely tank (and a cheeky smile :P ) shelaghfishface, well done on teaching the basics at such an early age, the trouble is now little Shae has fishkeeping in his blood, you will be forever spending out on bigger and bigger tanks...

Here is some photos of my three ft tank, Sorry about the quality. I have yet to learn how to take good pics of the aquarium. The two angels closer. The tank has live plants in play sand substrate and the stocking is Two small Angels Two baby BN plecs Four baby Clown Loach twenty...

Cheers Ace. :good: I have seen a nice 5x2x2 in lfs It has two externals and two heaters with it as well as lovely cabinet for £600. So I am now pleading with the missus to let me have it, but so far she won't budge on our original plan of saving for it. :crazy:

Hi all, I wanted to share this with you as I am quite excited. I thought to myself that whilst waiting until I can afford the 5x2x2 that I want, I should collect everything else first so that im more or less ready to go (except cycling) So I have been looking on second hand sites and found this...

I think like the others, its a case of getting the largest tank you can afford and be prepared to look after. As we all know, the larger the tank, the more margin for error. But I do wish your friend luck with his wonderful new hobby.

My last two tanks had 3 x Oscars Bob, Babs and Bert (Bert was removed as Bob and Babs paired up) In the tank I had a Lima shovelnose called Dug and a common plec called Foster and a large Gibbiceps pleco called Grolsh. In the other tank I had two pair'd up Jaguar Cichlids called Harry and Mable...

Hi papasmurf, I really wouldn't listen to your LFS because never going back is rubbish and I can vouch for that. I used to keep Oscars, Lima shovelnose catfish Nicoraguense (sp?) and various other Cichlids. Then for personal reasons, I had to give them up, three tanks gone in one day. Now four...

Here is a photo of my gang. Shannon my daughter has Milo the cat in front of her, My son Daniel has Ossie our Staffordshire Bull Terrier in front of him and finally Hayley my other daughter has Magic (Milo's Mum) in front of her. Thanks for looking. :good:

I absolutely love your set up Adam. I would love to get the Vision 450, but in the dark wood. You have done a great job there. :good:

Thats a lovely looking tank, you have done there. I definately want to do something similar.

Hello everyone. My names Steve and although not a newbie to fish keeping, not what you'd call an expert either. I have decided to come back to fish keeping after a four year lay off. I used to keep Oscars, Jaguar Cichlids and a large Gibbiceps pleco (sp?) But for personal reasons I had to give...
