My new tank is nearly complete. Took some time to build it, as its being building into a wall to replace a window. I've got a couple of questions about plants. 1. Is it best to put the plants in during the fishless cycle or at the end of it. 2. Thinking if having gravel as a substrate. As...

Thanks for the quick reply. Regarding the 12mm and 16mm variant for the 200w, I got this from hydor's website, but it looks like no one in this country seem to stock it. America seem to have ready stock of all 3 versions, but the voltage if only 115 not 240 Really got my heart set on one.

Hi, Am currently getting all equipment for a new tank I'm building, but really struggling to find any stock of the Hydor 200w inline heater. I'm after the 200w for 16mm piping. From my research they do the Hydro 200w for either 12mm or 16mm piping, and the 300w in 16mm piping. Every company...

Thanks for the quick reply. I've just done a 50% water change, and will test again tomorrow night, doing another water change if required. Another quick question. My tank has an internal filter. What is the best practice when doing a water change with regards the filter. Is it ok to be out...

Hi, New to all of this. After reading lots of info on here, I've embarked on a fishless cycle, for my new 30L tank. I put ammonia into the tank on Mon 07/06/10, then went on holiday for 2 weeks. Have been back for 2 weeks now, and tested the tank twice, but my Ammonia is still 8+ PPM I...

Have just set my tank up, fairly small 30L. Cleaned everything and put water treatment in. My question is that I'm going on holiday on Monday for 2 weeks, and was thinking of putting in the required Ammonia on Monday morning, and leaving the tank cycling for 2 weeks whilst I'm away, then can...

Just to let any know who's interested, I've now reveived the Rena 50. It is very quiet, not totally, but quieter than the bubbles coming out of the airator stone. I think the airator stone is a little noiser than the when used on the old air pump, as the rena is putting more air through it...

Have plumped for a Rena 50, as people seem to think they are similar in noise levels, but more reliable. Thanks all

Thanks for all the replies. After reading further on the forum, I'd already decided against goldfish. Think now about 4 minnows and 3 shrimp. What is the current theory on ensuring enough oxygen in the tank. Most of yesterday the tank was filled with lots of little bubble. But today I...
