Ready To Get Started Advice Needed

Two filters gives you better circulation, maintenance is better and if one goes wrong.....

Eheim 2028 with 300w Hydor in-line heater is better IMO than 2128 with built-in heater. The 2128 comes with an ugly temp probe that sits in the tank. There's no hardware on display with the Hydor.

You can get a good CO2 reg for around £60, then you need a 2Kg fire extinguisher or similar, CO2 hosing, NRV, solenoid, diffuser/reactor. Depending on manufacturers anything from £100 to £400 for a complete system.

Hello George after speaking to some shops apparently there has or had been a product recall on hydor in line heaters but i couldnt find out what the prob was , any ideas and have you heard if they are okay now. R, John
I've not heard of any problems before. A couple of friends have run them for years with no issues.
 
Well, for the past few months the guy has become a very picky eater.
It snubs MP, and only eats a little squid, but has a good appetite for sinking carnivore pellets and cichlid gold pellets (which it used to snub before). It still goes nuts for mealworms and crickets, but that can't be fed everyday.

It hasn't grown too much in the past few months, oh well
