Thanks for the reply Rob unfortunately I have NO electrical knowledge. I would do more harm than good trying to fix it myself lol

So 4 out of 8 of the bulbs in my 7x2x2 tank have stopped working. I changed the fuses but that didn't help so I opened up the box where the wiring meets the on/off switches and 1 of the wires has frazzled and disconnected from the switch :( Contacted the company and will cost £150 for a new...

can anyone recommend a really powerful powerhead? I'm looking for one for my 7ft tank. Was looking at the Eheim aquaball 650... but not sure if this will be strong enough I only want it to pump bubbles into the tank

Hi can I have these please if still available?   Thanks

Hi guys im looking for a small external filter to go on a small tank. The tanks dimensions are 2ftx1ftx1ft. Where the tank is so small I want to take up as little space as I possibly can inside the tank with filters/heaters etc. Can anyone recommend a good external to go with??   Thanks

theres deffo something gobbling them up which is a pain because I spent a fortune kitting my tank out with plants

I have 2 yellow bellied sliders and i've noticed my amazon swords and other plants are getting pretty shredded, looks like they've been nibbled on pretty badly. The only fish in there is a fire eel and a couple of catfish so do you guys think it's the turtles destroying my plants?

Does anyone have experience with kesgrave tropicals on ebay? I want to purchase a Fahaka puffer from them but haven't had much experience in the past with buying fish online so just wanted to know if anyone has used them before?

well its 798litres it's 6.10ft whoops i meant 785l

Just a quick pic of my tank. Needs a bit of work like some more plants and rocks and to weigh down the plant floating around but you get the picture. Il take some better pics when I find my camera. Let me know what you think.   Current inhabitants are 1 red devil, 1 green terror, 1 jaguar...

Anyone know anywhere selling reticulated stingrays (Potamotrygon Reticulata) or either of the other 2 smaller types of ray Potamotrygon cf. Hystrix, Potamotrygon Scobina online in the U.K ?

Yeah I'd probably end up missing the heaters if they was hidden lol... I was thinking I might try and fit a 3d background only a thin one like the Juwel stone lime one but it would cost nearly £200 to buy enough pieces to fit the tank and would involve a lot of bodging so im not really sure if I...

I'm going with the fluval e series 300w, bit pricey but seems to be the best internal on the market atm. Shame my Hydor eth's cant go with the FX6's as I  can't stand clutter in the tank. One day il switch the FX6's for the Eheim professionel 3 1200 XLT with the built in 500w heaters..... One...

the intake will be much lower down than the output. yeah I have a couple of monster powerheads so that wont be a problem

In my last tank I was running 2 Fluval FX6's. With my last tank I would have the filter inlet's stretched to the opposite side of the tank to where the filter was and the outlet above the filter (hope this makes sense). But with my new tank the inlet hose doesn't quite reach to the other side of...

Il go with x3 300w then wow this thing is gunna use up alot of plug sockets. It has 8 bulbs, 2 fx6s, 2 airpumps and now 3 heaters

So ive given up on the idea of trying to run my ETH 300w on my Fluval FX6 so i was wondering how many watts i would need to heat a 800litre tank? I was thinking x2 200w heaters?

ahh man that sucks :(

So I have a Fluval FX6 which I wanted to run my hydor 300w external heater on. The only problem is... it doesnt fit  Has anyone on here fitted a Hydor ETH to the FX6 pipework? If so can you tell me how please and what I would need to do it. Also is a 300w heater enough to heat a 785 u.k litre...

ohh really maybe il give it a go then :)

that seems like it might be alot harder than painting it

I would have no idea what paint to use im useless at stuff like that

Hi someone has a 6x2x2 tank for sale near to me for £500 which im thinking of buying the only problem is the stand and hood doesn't match my front room. I was thinking of buying it anyway and painting it black im just worried it would turn out looking poop.     That is a picture of the...

maybe im just unlucky.. or my fish have IBS lol

It's a nightmare even after a weekly waterchange and ive siphoned up as much poo as possible it still seems to be everywhere :( I'm gunna change my substrate to Pettex black sand. Hopefully the poop won't show up as much on this.

I know this is an old thread but i'm going to get some pettex black sand to go in my 6x2x2. If anyone uses this how much do you think I would need to buy to cover the bottom enough to bury fake plants in it?   Thanks

I'm so sick of looking at fish poop just sitting there on top of the sand substrate. All the videos I see on youtube where tanks have sand for substrate and stocked with the same fish there is no fish poop in sight. But in my tank it is just everywhere. I'm forever trying to clear it up with the...

I'm looking for some really tough but nice looking, low maintenance large aquarium plants + floating plants to kit out my 6ft SA/CA Cichlid tank.   Postage to Isle of Wight if possible.   Let me know what you have and we can arrange a price.   Thanks

Think I might try the vinyl wrap approach theres just so many little odd bits n bobs that would be hard to do. But I have to have these matching lol

 So in my front room I have a Rena aqualife 600 with beech stand and beech trimmings and a Juwel trigon 190 which is all in black.  I'm desperate to get these tanks matching (OCD don't ask lol) and as it's out of the question to turn the trigon 190 beech without buying a brand new set up i'm...

Yeh went with the quartz white sand well it's not pure white but close enough and was only £10 a bag so i bought 2 will deffo be enough to have a deep enough sand bed for what i need

I've always normally used tesco's play sand but I want to go with something a bit lighter in colour this time. Found some nice white quartz sand only a bit pricey but looks nice though might give that a go :) thanks for your suggestions

Same as wills just pack it full of bio balls seems to do the trick :) I recently replaced my 2 FX5's with 2 FX6's cant notice any difference apart from the weight of my wallet lol

anyone know a good place to get some nice white aquarium sand enough to fill a juwel trigon 190 deep enough for me to be able to safely place rocks and plants without them tumbling over? Cheap as possible really got a baby on the way so my aquarium budget has gone down alot lol   thankies

ok thank you 

Anybody know of anywhere selling juvenile buttikoferi tilapia? No bigger than 4" In the U.K   Thankies
