I have two fx5 and think they are great. I have however tried various media in the baskets and found the polishing pads clog everything up pretty fast. I even tried the course pads but ultimately found having bioballs in the middle basket and just using the outer pads work best for me. This...

I have two of these on my big tank (over filtering) and cannot praise them enough. I have tried various ways of having pads/bioballs etc in the 3 trays and ultimately found that I tend to put bioballs in the middle basket and just allow the outer pads to catch the gunk. This way I tend to...

Hi matey - my tank is 6x2.5x2

Agrees - whilst I wouldnt mind some wonga, he/she would need to be housed in a bigger tank than mine and to be looked after formost.

thanks you two, and hi matey simon....good to see your still around. The tank he's in now is a 6ft x 2.5 x 2. He needs something bigger and in light of a house move coming up, im thinking about letting him go.

I used to have sand in the tank, but swapped it out for coral sand...looks much better and is easy to look after. Its always good to have a clean up crew - corys, clown loaches etc etc this will help maintainance of the sand/coral sand

Hi everyone. I have a near 3ft Fire eel...he/she is lovely what a beast and a conversation starter. I think its time I let him move on to maybe a bigger tank, and was wondering what a near 3ft fire eel is worth? Any ideas?

I have a near 3 ft fire eel, just thinking what the going rate would be and if anyone is interested, im in the High Peak, Derbyshire

even if I did sell - I really would have to know what tank it was going in. When you keep a fish like this, you know its life style....yup I actually said life style.....what it does, what it eats etcetera. I could not know its going into a smaller tank, or a person who hasnt a clue. the poor...

well, to be honest, I have a near 1000ltr tank, I bought a fire eel when it was around 7" for £45. It has now got to near 3ft and is perfect condition. It eats, prawns, and blood worms and flake is also dropped into the tank for other fish, it he/she is perfect. Now I have other fish dropping...

Hi everyone - just wondering how much you would expect to pay at a lfs for a fire eel that is almost 3ft long, any ideas?

The FX5 IMO is one of the best filters around. I managed to get two off ebay fairly cheaply to be honest. It is a very powerful filter and one that quickly clears any tank of debris. A nice little feature on this filter, is that once every 24hours, it stops and perges any air within the unit...

http://www.youtube.com/user/8inary?feature=mhw4 i wanted a sw tank but didnt have the time to maintain one, so i invested in a fw tank based on a sw tank. i used coral sand circa 85kg - high grade tmc rock, artificial hand painted etc

fire eel...mine is over 2.5ft in length and is amazing.
