its an aqua start 320, i couldnt resist BUT it will come in very handy if these kribs ever breed.theres one thing i have no idea on though, its got an undergravel filter, so how do i mature it? without having to go and take up space with another internal in there?
i did assume it would be a tricle filter like my other aqua one tank, but nope,that would be too easy  so any advice would be great cheers, shelagh xxxxxxxx |

my suggestion would be to forget about the undergravel and take it out and use sponge/box filter instead
what do u think? |

yes i was thinking that, i have a spare sponge filter, but its a rena filster i think-ugly old blue thing, and i dont spose it would take up anymore of the tank than the UG will

The image came from azure-gardencentre but ia m not sure if they still have the same deal on. If you shop around you can find some great bargains and i am pretty sure you haggle either a good price or some nice extras thrown in. Nice deal on a black one. This one has free shipping (but no heater either) This post has been edited by Axleuk: Aug 6 2008, 03:06 PM |
