I had a glance over the link you posted and it has many good points however, half of it goes straight over my head and I am having trouble understanding some of it.   The UV unit I have is for a much larger tank but I am hoping I can still use it. I am stuck on what pump I would need to buy to...

Hey guys   Got me a bit of an issue and my half asleep brain cannot figure it out. Recently, I purchased an APS CUV-118 UV Sterilizer ready for when my new tank gets set up (when I can be bothered to finish building the cabinet) but after opening its packaging, I noticed an issue. The...

No. I already asked everyone I know that owns fish. I'm in the position where I either leave the leak alone and hope I can finish the cabinet and cycle the 160L in time or I transfer them into the smaller tank and wait for the silicone to be delivered. I can't think of anything else but that.

So... I was just doing a regular water change and noticed that my tank has sprung a leak. I do not know when it happened or where it is but I have a feeling its along the bottom somewhere. I have noticed water around the bottom before but thought it was to do with spillage during changes but...

Ah ok. Cheers for the reply. I did do a little research before I purchased it but none of the pages said that anywhere. I'l remember that for next time. Does that apply to all Pleco's or just the GN's?

About 2 weeks ago, I went and bought a Golden Nugget Pleco from the LFS. all seemed well up until yesterday when I could no longer find him. I figured he was being his usual elusive self so didn't think much about it. Earlier today, my girlfriend said she could see him under one of the hiding...

Thank you for your reply. After using some Goole-Fu, I have realised that my Sunset Platy is now a male, so that explains where this fry came from. I never looked up on how to sex fish as I got these from the 'female' tank at the LFS.   I was going to put the female Platy in the breeder box but...

So... I decided to get me a Golden Nugget Pleco today at the LFS after seeing how gorgeous they are. He is roughly an inch and a half in size at the moment but by the time he has grown, I should have finished my 260L cabinet and tank and will be moved there.   Upon putting him in the tank, I...

I would say yes but I am no Betta expert. He looks like mine minus the colours. Got yourself a gorgeous fish there :)

I am in the middle of a 'Fish-in' cycle now and take it from me, I wish I had known about the 'Fish-less' cycle before I populated my fish tank. Fish-less cycling can take a few weeks normally and your tank is ready for fish. You spend a small amount of money on ammonia and de-chlorinator. When...

Thanks for replying. I will get him some pellets. I'm not sure if the local pet store would have them but I'll look. If pellets are not available, what else can I get him? My local pet store doesn't have the widest range of stuff and the nearest Pets@Home to me is about 40 miles. It would be...

I had to rescue a Betta yesterday. He was used as a table centre piece at a wedding and a buddy bought him home to stick in his Goldfish tank. I managed to scream NO at him before it was subjected to freezing temperatures and died. He gave it to me as he has no heater or spare tank to home him...

Heater is dead. Used a 5 AMP fuse seeing as my current heater has one. Turned it on and no light or tick from the thing.

Thanks dude. I'l give it a check later. Hopefully I'l be back to report on its status... lol
