Thanks James, its a 4ft 75g. They really are great fish and all from a very well known breeder so are top quality fish! I would love to go back to a reef tank but i just dont have the time at the moment so going to go American Cichlids maybe a single Oscar.

Hi all, Im looking at closing my african tank down for a swap to something else. Video doesn't do the colours justice they are all great quality fish. Any questions just let me know. Would take £50 ono for them all. Im in Southport PR9

Hi all, Im thinking of selling up my tank so would have to move my livestock on. I have a group of Msobo and 1m 1f Jalo reef. The Jalo's seem to be breeding well she is holding a lot of the time and I have seen a fair few fry around the tank hiding. There is 3 obvious males on the Msobo group...

Hi all,   Not posted in a while but here we go.    Tank is mainly a Msobo tank with a group of Jalo Reef. Tank is a 200L Fluval Roma with 2 external filters, APS 1400+ and a Aquamanta EFX400.   As you can see from the video the "tank boss" is the dominant Jalo male. I seem to have come out with...

Thanks for all the help in setting this up guys. I went for a Msobo tank with a small Jalo Reef group. Aggression wise it has been fine, I was expecting much much more be for a mbuna tank it seems very calm!   Added a 2nd APS EF1400+ filter (UV off unless I need it in the future):     Fish are...

Dilema now is stock, do I go for either:   1) Saulosi tank with a group of jalo reef. (20 ish Saulosi and 4 jalo's)   2)Msobo tank with group of jalo reef. (Same idea as the Saulosi)   2) Mixed tank:   4-5 Red top Hongi 4-5 Red top Ndumbi 4-5 Jalo Reef 4-5 Msobo 4-5 Yellow labs   I just cant...

1.5 Bags of argos play sand later and im very pleased, still a little cloudy but:         I thought the argos sand might have been a little dark but it looks excellent and at £2.99 a bag you cant go wrong! It did take a bit of cleaning but nothing too difficult.   Im going to order a 2nd...

Change the middle rock today as it didnt look right / natural:       Got two bags of argos play sand to go in tonight once its washed.

Starting to take shape now. Stock moved on and gravel removed today and tonight I played with the scape. What do you think?       Cheers

Thanks mate,   My tank is currently around 2 years old so is nice and mature. Is it safe to add all the cichlids in one day (after removing the others) or is it best to cycle it again slightly with ammonia (higher dose) before adding the cichlids?

Thanks guys, RRaquriums my dimentions on the tank are:   100 x 40 x 55 cm   Does this alter the numbers at all? I know it still depends and the adult size of the fish I choose bu roughly?

Hi all, I currently run a fluval roma 200L tropical community tank which is around 2 years on now and running solid. I had a nano reef tank which with a 2 month old daughter was getting too much and I have closed this tank down. Now im looking to convert the roma into a malawi tank but I have a...

Thanks,   Its only one eye and he seems healthy apart from the eye. I dont have a quarantine tank or the facility for one:(   My tank stays bang on 0 - amm, 0 - nitrite and 30-40 - nitrate.   Will he recover in the display tank?

Water is fine :(   0 - Amm 0 - Nitrite 30 - Nitrate   Anything I can do with him, he seems fine and seems to be eating well.

Hi all,   Its not my night tonigh :( One of my neons looks unwell too:(   Whilst watching my tank tonight I spotted a little neon looking a little thin. Hes eating fine, I fed the tank and he went mental for the food but does this look like NTD?     Thanks all!  

Hi all,   Noticed tonight one of my rummynose tetras isnt looking great. Nothing has changed in my tank other than dosing seachem excel recently. The fish seems fine just looks like his eye is escaping :(   What do you think:       Anything I can do? Water is fine; Amm - 0, Nitrite - 0 and...

Ive just added a few minutes video of the tank too:   http://youtu.be/SchlUBY-1Es

Thanks again guys   To be honest I must have taken 50+ pics to get these good ones. I tend to have the continues foucs on and then follow the fish and try to anticipate when It slows down to turn and snap a few and pick the best one! You also need to have the shutter speed on as high as...

Its not the most natural tank in the world but that is my wifes doing :)   Couple more pics:    

Thanks everyone :) The stocking of the tank is:     11 Neon Tetras, 8 Rummynose Tetras 1 Bristlenose Pleco 5 Cherry Barbs (2 Male 3 Female), 6 Five Banded Barbs, 6 Zebra Danios, 10 Harlequin Rasboras 6 Zebra Loaches

Hi all,   I have had my tank running for about 10 months now so thought while I had my camera out I would take a few pics! I didnt get them all because most went and hid when they saw the camera but still got some good ones!                 Thanks for looking    

Bit of an update on the tank :)   Now I go on holiday tomorrow but I jumped the gun and already have my live rock :whistling:. I went to the LFS and they had some really really nice rock so couldnt resist. So I have 5kg of live rock and im using Red Sea Coral Pro Salt. Its been up and running a...

Thanks for your advice. How long can I store saltwater for it is was in a bucket with a lid on?

Cool, thank you!   What would you think I would need? Its 46L so will fill it first time with RO and then add sale but then I will be doing 5L (10%ish) changes weekly so thinking I will only need a 5l tub for the changes and a little one to keep some for top offs? Or is it best to have maybe a...

Dropped you a PM :)

Thanks :)   Im thinking of keeping LPS corals and softies with maybe two common clowns. I understand once the clowns age they will outgrow this tank but I plan on having a bigger marine tank further down the line (when space allow!) Would 2 clowns and a gobie be ok with a CUC?

Hello all,   Im slowly starting my fluval edge 46l reef project. Im getting all the bits together ready but go on holiday for a week at the end of March so will be holding off on the live rock and sand untill I get back. Ive got a 200l tropical tank but wanted my own little piece of the ocean...

Ok everyone I managed to get some shots with my big lens (Even if it did take half an hour!), what do you think? Still no signs of it on any other fish I could see. Thanks!

Hi all,   I spotted tonight one of my zebra loaches has about a dozen white spots in a small area on his side and back. No other fish have any spots at all. Could it be anything else other than white spot? I have only had it once before early on when introducing some neons but never had anymore...

Hello everyone, Im looking for a heater for my 46l Fluval edge. I will probably get a temp control unit further down the line but what heater would you recommend? I like the added features of the fluval E but the jager seems to be highly recommended. Also the fluval E might blend in a little...

Looks really nice that mate!    55 gallons! Thats bigger than my tropical tank! I was thinking nano to save of stuff like livestock, corals, live rock, etc.

It does make sense, with the very small amount of water compared to my 200l.   I am very frequent with my changes, I have change 30% of my tank without fail every week since ive owned it and that it water being warmed up ready for the change to. So the extra 5-10L of water I would need to...

Is it really that hard to keep? I would have thought that with only have a small bio load (2 clowns and a CuC) it would be easier to balance? I know that with a 200l stuff happens slower but once its stable it should be ok, right?   Yes, there is more to monitor and keep stable in a marine tank...

Hello everyone, After the success of my tropical tank over the last 8 months (200L Fluval Roma) I want to start up a nano reef. I have been looking at a lot of different tanks but undecided on which to buy. Im looking for a nice small one to keep some corals and a couple of clown fish (with a...

Thanks for all your advice everyone. Kept a close eye on them all since and all seem fine. Must have juts been the little guys time! Thanks again!

It's a 200l I normally do a weekly 60l change. EDIT: Just done a normal 60l change so will keep an eye on things. Thanks again.

Thanks, I was hoping that. How soon shall I do the change? Will tomorrow evening do or shall I do it tonight and is it possible my normal 30% weekly I should do?

Tank was fish less cycled but these guys where the 2nd lot in my tank. I'm hoping it was age but it was bought the same time as the others.

Hi all, I have a fully cycled tank which has been running for 8 months and tonight I found my first little neon tetra floating dead at the top of the tank :( I did a water test first and stats are all fine: Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 20-40 No changes have been made to the tank and I...
