Cheers Minx. I never really understood how good they'd be at recognising different people as well - They know I feed them so go nuts when I go close to the tank and watch me when I go round the room. The mrs just gets followed round and new people get a few mins of "humm, who the hell are...

HI All, Been a while since I've posted anything, work and all that. Thought I'd stick a couple of pics of Oscar and Wilde to show how much they have grown(and as I have a new SLR camera and have been having a play about....). From this: Oscar: Wilde: To have grown to this: Oscar is...

I've got a 2075 paired up with a Fluval 405, but if I was just going for the one filter then the FX5 would win hands down.

Get the biggest filter you can afford - instead of the Eheim thermo, what about the 2080? or the Fluval Fx5?

We had a few new buildings put up on site recently (one of which I am currently sat in with a nice view over the Trough Of Bowland)and had to dig a ditch round the proposed build area with a small fence 1 year before they could break ground. All this was due the posability that there were some...

Not good at all.

Looking good Minx!

Has anyone had a varied career? EG - I started as a chef, then did a total change to work for Airtours in sales and was quickly swapped to the IT dept, looking after IT in the call-centres and doing some resort support (been to most holiday places in Europe, mainly saw Airport->Taxi->Resort...

You'll prob get a few haters and lovers of both. Personally I've never had the 205, but do have a 405 and it's easy to use & I've also had a 700 which again was no problem. Shame about the Ehiem, got a 2075 and it's a mint filter!

My lovely Tiger Oscar "Oscar", now 1yr old, has turned out to be an Oscarella! Most of the weekend was spent cleaning the slate I have in the tank then on monday morning, lo and behold, it was covered in eggs with Oscar(ella) guarding them like crazy! Wilde is still a month or so younger than...

Jeeesey Creesy BAE! That's flamin huge! How did you get it in the house!?!?! SHould be good though! Looking forward to seeing progress

Think he means James Wade (goes out with Helen Chamberlain from Soccer AM)

Brother in law's brother does. He used to be the rescue jumper on HMS Invincible. Does loads of different stuff and still enjoys it (although same applies as to Haych's in law's...) Good way to get to see the world (unless you go for subs, where you get to see the inside bulkhead wall)...

I do I.T. support for a US IT firm that does all the IT support for a UK defence firm Day to day can be pretty boring, although the place I work can sometimes be like walking onto the set of the discovery channel.

PS3 - Cod4, Cod WAW, Batman Arkham Asylum, Fifa.

Seen way too many to list over the years. From Guns N Roses to Destinys Child, Faith No More to Robbie Williams, Bluetones to Metallica. Highlights are prob: Stone Roses (waited 5 years to get to see them live - didn't dissapoint) Sterephonics (about 9 times now, always awesome, looking...

Nice Vulcan (I can gurantee that is not a Typhoon - although the one in your other thread is). Is that the last flying Vulcan?

Nice pictures Arron. Fair few planes I helped build there (Hawks and the Euofighter Typhoon) Whenever the Typhoon takes off on a test flight you see all the people walking about the place stop and look up. It doesn't get old.

I like them, had them on all my tanks so far, makes it nice to be able to view the catfish etc... Plus it looks cool at night. Got them on a timer to sync with the main lights. Means that the fish don't get the sudden jump from darkness to full light and back again.

Team added.

Got mine hooked upto a 300l - bought it from fleabay - came up dirt cheap.

Can you pass the link on to me as well plaese. Ta very muchly.

2nd'd - Nice tanks!

I got my Pro 3 2075 yesterday, took about 30mins to get it unpacked and onto the tank (I am one of the anal people who actually reads the instructions). Flow rate is way up on the tetratec it replaced. Couple of airpockets were in the system, which it got shut of after about 2mins, then deadly...

Lancashire. England. (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland)

Just what people thought of them. Quiet enough? Good filtration? etc... Brand new one avail to me for £100. Still boxed. Going to get it this week, but I've always had Fluval's or Tetratec before. Had a look through the net and there were a couple of mentions that it was loud to start...

Been offered a new eheim 2075 exceedingly cheap. Anyone on here actually used one, what do they think? Would be replacing a Tetratec 700 on a 300l (currently running Fluval 405 and the 700).

Shelagh, Check out This which has your consumer rights. The goods are less than 6 months old and are not fit for purpose. The place where you bought them from (so long as they were not faulty when you bought them and you were not informed about it) have to give you a full refund or replace...

#6 is soooo true it's scarey :rolleyes:

He'll not have a chance of wining the championship. The only thing on the Shoe-makers mind will be "Beat Raikkonen". And that's about it.

Looking good there Shelagh!

Here's a few piccies I took the other week after the re-scape and the fighting.. Wilde and Ocsar, both getting along ok. For the time being. Wilde on his own, still a bit shy after Oscar beat him up (you can see the marks near his tail) and seemed to get slight marks like HITH (water...

Yeah, they measure the outside and leave an inch or so from the top as you don't put your water right upto the lip of the tank, so the volume they give out is "Useful Volume".

Had great fun over the weekend... Myself and the better half have been away from Thurs night to Sun, so had parents come round to feed the fish on Sat aft. Got a phone call whilst my dad was there about Wilde being chased round by Oscar (or as my dad put it "The big thing is chasing the...

I have one of the 300w Rean Smart heaters - v good. Big C - As goes using the connection kit, will it fit onto a Fluval 405's intake? Or is there an extra adapter required? Or do they make a couple of Connection Kit sizes? Wouldn't mind linking mine up.

Half fill a bucket with it, stick a hose in right to the bottom. Turn on the water and leave till the water coming over the edge is clear. Repeat. Easy peasy.

If you check on flea bay (item 190280961377) that will fit the Rio 240 & 300 and also the Vision 260. You'll have to get the tubes on top. If your after the long term then they are beneficial, however you could put some reflectors on your current (t8's ??) lights.

I have a similar set up to Saz, makes it nice for the fish so they don't get a huge jump into bright main lights or back down to total darkness. I keep mine on at night for 2 hours after the main lights go out as it does look really cool!

I take it you need the 41" tubes? If so, they are pretty common place. 1047mm - they are a standard fitting in the Juwel High Lites for the Rio 300 & 240 & Vision 260. You should be able to get them pretty much anywhere.

What abotu "Scaramanga", close to Scar, but is also the name of the baddie in Man From The Golden Gun and he/she looks pretty golden. or you could go for "Auric" (as in Goldfinger.... never guess I was a bond fan.... lol )
