Thanks Colin I should've included the dimensions in the first post, doh! Ah well they are: 458 x 304 x 385mm so about 18 x 12 x 15 inch. Good options. I've sanded it down and used some adhesive and glass repair tape on it, I'll fill it up and see what happens somewhere out the way. I was...

Thanks jaylach Good ideas. I do have a larger 20 gallon tank which I may set up instead. I like the terrarium/reptile idea though as well, and it would fit the bill of something interesting for my 5 year old to be involved in. 👍

Cheers for the advice, here are some pictures of the tank in full. I was considering a light sanding and silicone and/or some repair tape or similar but didn't want to bother if it looks like the whole thing would crack later.

Hi After moving house I've come to the time to look at starting back into the hobby. However looking over a tank I was going to start with I've noticed a couple of chips in the glass. One is the corner at the bottom and another is down the join on the corner edge. It's a 14 gallon/53 litre...

Hi, I'm getting pretty confused the more I read on this and want to double check some things before I get my wallet out for new hardware. I've got a 5400 cubic inch, 20 gallon tank that I'm planting up. I have a Hagen GLO T8 30watt light box with a 20 watt BOYU floral light tube. Is this...

Thanks, I sucked up the mould through a spare airline but then decided to take the whole piece of wood out for use at a later date! I think there was a bit much for my 5 or 6 glass shrimp to munch through. Just seen your Pico DIY LED, I was just going to do some google searching on that...

Hi, I was hoping someone could help, I have just planted out my aquarium and noticed tonight a clear jelly substance along a piece of my driftwood. It's slowly releasing bubbles to the surface where they are collecting. Does anyone know what this is and the best way to get rid of it? If it's...

Thanks for the help guys, it's really useful info. I remember having guppies as a lad but that was over 20 years ago now. As we no doubt explore this hobby more I'll be using these forums for advice!

It has a heater and corner air-pump filter using filter wool. Plenty of gravel and 3 live plants. It didn't go through the full cycle, due to a bit of mixed advice, it was left to condition for a day using the tetra water conditioner stuff that helps promote the bacteria needed dropped into...

We recently bought a 12 litre/3 gallon tank from a shop on advice we could put neon's/guppies in it. The tank was chosen as we're limited to space, I know it's small and we'd like a lot larger but after asking a LFS it seemed we'd be good to go with this size of tank. So, we went with 8 neon...

I'm afraid the fish passed away last night. From looking at it it seemed to have white protuberances from the gills. It didn't seem to have major inflammation or red nodules. We'll have to get a kit and check the levels in the tank, all the other fish seem fine but obviously don't want them...

Hi, I'm new to all this and I'm afraid I don't know the ph etc of my girlfriends' tank but I need some help. We have 8 neon tetras only in a 12 litre tank. Most seem fine but one has seperated from the shoal and tends to just float instead of swimming. It was occasionally knocked by the...
