Here is a picture of the tank with all the lights on including the blue light I think its a big improvement! the tank looks bare without any fish apart from the tang and the urchin! The urchin moves so quick it goes all over the tank! We should hopefully move in the house fully soon so...

thanks guys, We have replaced the lights that were needed, i am not too sure how to reposition all of the power heads just yet i will have a look a bit more when i have a bit more time. The tank looks even better with the lights i will get a new picture up and keep you updated on the progress...

I have read they need a lot of light so i dont think it has had the amount it needs. However we have left the light on now and are back there on sat so hopefully it might pick up a bit more i guess :/

okay wow that was quick guys! you two are nice and helpful :D haha Is it likely to get all like the one in this video again? Toadstool

Okay i have been to the new place again and taken some pictures here we go... This was the anemone, i checked with the owner and apparently it did have bits coming off it. The tank is quite a good size tank, it is a cleair BS 1000 i think! Unfortunately i couldnt find the puffer but...

thanks bae, its the thought that counts :D haha

yes seffie from doing a bit of research on them now i know what they are called it appears they can grow a foot wide by two foot long! there are apparently smalled speicies however trying to find them would probably be quite hard! Is a shame as it was really interesting! they are apparently...

thanks seffie and bae, i will try and get some more info as soon as i can so i can get some help! As soon as i can get more info i will let you guys know! thanks in the mean time!

Core that was quick, yes thats exactly what it was wow, my explaining wasnt too bad then! Hmm i may have to ask the people in the lfs about it and see what info they come up with. Interesting little critter tho! thanks guys!

I went to a LFS/aquatics centre today and i noticed a fish i hadnt seen before in a tank with two banded sharks. (im no professional on marine fish as im only new to them, but i always like to have a good look around the tanks) :). The sharks were pretty still but there was a small ray fish. It...

At the end of next month i am moving with my partner into a friends bungalow, and they have a marine tank which i am going to be taking over, I currently have a tropical tank so i have some idea of things but there is so much more to learn about marine tanks and their contents and upkeep. At...

we have a terrpin in a seperate fish tank, he must be around 9 years old, started off at around the size of 50p piece is now around 7inches from head to tail. There is a lot of info on them in here Terrapin tank In the tank we have, it has a platform it can under and sit on top with some astro...

ohh right, do they differ from fish much in their requirements? in the way of water changes, temperature hardness etc? Thanks

no probs didz04, i dont have much knowledge on fish but what i do i am willing to share lol

Never considered frogs either to be honest hmm they wuld be an interesting difference, what do they feed on?

would it be the same with them with a few shrimp as well? I think i will have to weigh up my options to be honest!

well the heater was actually a questionable item, its a 50watt heater from Boyu which fits in the tank diagonally and is designed for slightly larger tanks, i wasnt sure if i could use this one or if i would have to get a smaller one? is this one? Trichopsis See thats why i thought i would...

a sparkling gourami like this? sparkly or a Scarlett badis like this? Scarlett Just wanted to make sure i was looking at the right pics! Would these guys not get lonely on their own? Would it be fair to put a male betta in this size tank? i know they are kept in smaller ones in shops but i...

i have found a tank in my house it is very very small... It measures 30cmx18cmx17cm it can hold around two gallons according to the tank calculator majiggydoodahh Its all glass and has a plastic lid but no light at the moment, the only filter i have for it is one of these little filters. i do...

Haha you can only ask about another tank. To be honest the only way to get it cheap is to just turn everything else off. The calculation i done was just an example explanation using the information i had its not to be taken by the letter its just to give some idea of what it would be if...

estimated readings can always be a problem and yes that was with the light on for 24 hours so it would be slightly cheaper, is it your first bill or a continuous one as well?

Electric meters turn in KW/h's so an easy way of working it out is that using 1000 watts for an hour will make 1kwh. Heaters 300 watts 300wattsx24hours=7200watts (7.2Kw/h) Filters 38watts in total according to the site here clicky 38wattsx24hours=912watts (.912kw/h) Lights depending on what...

yes everywhere local seems to have it named as a cory julli, but as oldman states its a C trilineatus. I think its where there are a few breeds it just gets given a nickname if it looks similar. They are a very nice change to some of the other cory's that are usually in most community tanks

Thanks for the help minx, i used the kids play sand in the end was a darn sight cheaper and with a good cleaning it came out quite nice and light. Here are some pics i managed to take while the water was still settling yesterday and before i done a second sweep for and dietrius! The...

i like the way there was No Co2 put on the title... The list in the description is a bit long...

Thanks guys i will avoid the lavae of dragon fly!

okay so i just done a check on the tank with all the same fish in it as first stated. I tested the ammonia levels, the only kit i had in the house was an older one but my colour matched the 0 level of ideal water. On a Ph Test i was at 7.5 so slightly on hte higher side. Any recommendations...

haha yeah i wasnt sure either! I was just looking on the net about examples of aquascaping and was just wowed by that one haha!

here is the link i was talking about Ianho where it looks like a country setting, it looks amazing a loverrrly bit of aquascaping... if only i could make my tank look like that its an art form it truely is! Aquascape road

okay i might try earthworms as i have a compost bin at home which could be good :) Anything else people have fed them? Oscar i could imagine eating a chop quite happily :D haha

I was reading through my aquarium book today and was reading up on different foods. Mainly natural foods to be honest. I noticed that it said you can feed the fish woodlice?! has anyone ever done this!? What other bugs or *natural* foods have people given their fish? Thanks

I find that the sand makes it look like a beach now haha! It does change it up a bit. I saw a picture tank which had been made purposely for aquascaping which had light white sand and what looked like a small tree and grass like plants around it created a nice depth of field and made it look...

Wow there are loads on that video, you just dont realise how much they are a group fish until you see that! haha makes you want to get hundreds that does! It was Southend and Leigh District Aquarium Soceity or SALPAS which is easier! It was good they had an interesting speach on macro...

Haha yes they do look good when just the four go around in my tank together! the long finned ones look a bit more exotic! haha Ah thats a nice easy way of explaining it FHM. Well i will keep an eye on the water parameters and do an extra change through the week which should help him recover...

okay excellent thanks for the help and advice plecostomus-mad. Its handy when people like u are around to give advice! i think its been a few months at the moment and they do look a little better i have been keeping an eye on it so far as i really wouldnt want to loose him! almost like the...

The ones in harlequins signature. Okay that sounds good to me! looks like i now know what to do! should have a nice shoaling tetra tank then with some bottom feeders! I have seen the cory below marked up as cory adolfoi is this correct? Cory Adolfoi they look quite smart i think and are a...

haha yes they do seem to enjoy pulling things off the wall. The stock levels still are the same as the first post. however plans are... Sort out shark issue in downstairs tank... Move the mollys downstairs maybe get one or two more females to join later. The plecs i am not sure yet. Might...

It was a while ago now, the culprit was removed from the tank. Thanks for the comment plecostamus-mad! Any ideas on a timescale and any way i can aid them or is it just nature taking its course? thanks again!
