You need to use the sale format found in the sales part.
 
Can't post the fish sorry, I'd hate for anything to happen to them.

Timers - how many do you want? I've got 4. 2 are identical, the homebase ones. Other's a B&Q square one with a display at the top, other one's got a front display, kinda oval shaped.

Sera filters - they were quite pricey as sponge filters go but I liked the look of them. Say a tenner posted?
 
Yes they're digital ones. Our old house was prone to power cuts (my dad insisted on doing the wiring) and I got fed up with adjusting the segment ones all the time. Plus some of them make a ticking noise which is annoying when you're trying to do stuff or sleep! A tenner delivered for both?

You can have the homebase ones, I think they were like 12 each! Man I've spent thousands on these little fishies! Really simple to program too, I've got the instructions still.
 
are they these ones?

No the b&q one is like that though. These only have 2 buttons, which are on the front of it as is the display so it's easy to press change to turn lights etc on when reaching behind the tank if you need to. I found that square thing quite cumbersome to operate as there's load of buttons. They stopped selling the good ones for some reason as I looked for them when I needed a few more.

They kinda look like that:

But without the switch in the middle.
 
Or the other one is like this:

Take your pick!
