Hi people its been a while since i last posted,but after a short break im back to reality.I have just picked up this tank from a second hand dealer and was wondering if someone could shed some light as to how the best way to set up the trickle filter at the back of it would be,has anyone actually had one of these in the past,ive never used a trickle filter before,its an aqua one model but im afraid i cannot tell exactly which model type,i have added two pics,one a frontal view and one from the back showing the trickle filter,as i have said already,i have no idea what so ever how to set these up so any advice would be appreciated and[ a great help to me!!!Hope to hear from any of you guys soon Kind regards......Rebakaxxx

Right,the kind fish guys at shentsone garden centre have told me this is an aqua one "regency", and to replace both the lighting units is going to set me back £160 !!!! there is no way i can splash like that,there are cheaper options by way of over tank luminaires and have seen some from around £60 and upwards so this might be an option,but this means i cant have a fully closed top which does increase the noise level of the pump and the filter considerably!! what to do?
