Hi all,   Can someone id this plec for me please? (the vertical one). I have been offered it but would like to know what it is first.   Thanks

Come on ladies! 75% of responses are from men. I know you are out there, so here is the survey. :) http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QMJDZCS :good:

Thanks. I plan do do an animation of the filter to show a bit more clearly how the filter works, but i am running out of time now. In response to your question about how the pump can be kept running? On the rear of the filter is a compartment that houses the pump, and this is seperate from the...

Thanks to those who have filled out my survey already. It would be good to get some more feedback, so if anyone has not done it yet, it would be good if you could, and it only takes a minute to complete. Here is the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QMJDZCS Thanks again Nick

For a medium-large filter pump running 24 hours a day and 100w of lights running 10 hours a day, 365 days a year, works out at between £50-60 a year. On top of this you have to add on heater running costs (which depend on how hot your room temperature is),food, medication, filter media, fish...

Hi all, Some of you might remember filling out my survey a few months ago for a design course that i am doing. I set myself the task of coming up with an alternative filter design, (which has proved to be pretty difficult). I have finally come up with a concept and produced a pretty rough 3D...

Thanks to all who have filled out my survey so far. I have had some good responses. :good: I was wondering whether anyone on here is, or knows anyone that is disabled and owns an aquarium. I would be interested to know how you would cope with aquarium maintenance (cleaning filters, glass etc)...

Thanks to everyone so far who has filled in my survey on fishkeeping. I have some good data so far, and some good comments/ideas too. If anyone hasn't filled it out already i would appreciate it if you could (only takes a couple of minutes). This will help me design something that people really...

I lost power for 24 hours during the winter. Luckily i didn't lose any fish, and my tank is quite heavily stocked. Must get a generator though.

Hi, dodgy test kit i would say. I get the same reading with my API test kit on a mature tank with loads of filtration. You could try a different test kit if you are worried.

Hi, I understand your worry. I can only speak of my personal experience with Nutrafin cycle and i have had good results with it. I had a power cut during the summer and the my filters were not running for 24 hours; I put some cycle in and didn't have any problems. With reference to you Ammonia...

Stop the 50-70% daily water changes. All you are doing is giving the bacteria nothing to work on and your tank will take forever to cycle. If you can get some mature media as others have said, do so. If not, get some Nutrafin cycle or similar and use that. It does work.

More corys and then more corys. Love these little fellas-full of character.

I have a wave maker in my tank. This can be angled to provide good water movement where needed. My tank is not planted though, so i don't know if this would be suitable for you.

Hi, as long as your filter can cope with the bio load you should be fine. You can have the most powerfull pump in the world but if it isn't pulling the water through enough filter material it is pointless. The filters on my tank do circulate 10x the water volume, but i do have malawi cichlids...

Get some seachem purigen. It will remove any tannin.

Anything that only comes out at night (like some synodontis). What is the point if you never see them?

Hi folks, This is my first post on this forum and i hope some of you good people will help me out. I am currently doing a design course and i have put together a short survey to help with my market research. If you could please take a couple of minutes to answer a few questions i would very much...
