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...

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...

"Back to nature 3D background" is the one,google them,u can even use the back of the background as a filter!! And on black gravel it would look awesome!

Because of the fine bushy leaves of cabomba I have read that it needs exceptionally good clear water free of any debris.strong light and calm water.

Xmas moss is a fantastic idea and it grows really fast once its established,let it grow until its bout 5 or 6 inch strands abd then use scissors to trim offnthat way u end up with a nice tIght knit lawn,looks really good.good luck with it,your tank looks fab by the way,keep up the good work!

yes they do pertially have bark on them.would that make a difference? i have actually found some really nice peices that will not need tieing down,i moght be able to just wedge them into the tank,but thanks for reply,appreciated!!

Thanks guys,i might just do that,and the slate would look pretty discreet once covered,i dont think these peices are going to ever sink so weighing down it is then,thanks again for your replies.Kind regards-Rebaka
