Unfortunately the cheapest I have seen in $177 ($159 + postage) probably the price premium in Australia because it is European. Eheim looks good Which model Eheim should I look for? (Classic 2215?) http://www.thereefshop.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10&products_id=19...

Good Morning I have a 150lt tropical tank and am looking to one external filter to same space inside the tank. My budget is $200 Au I was interested to know if anyone has any thoughts on Fluval and Hydor external canister filters. Locally i've seen Fluval 205 for $200 Locally i've seen Hydor...

I was more than civil however was met by continual abuse Repeated swearing and insults to my PMs and profile is not an apology SlyPolak, it harrassment An exert of his ramblings to my account " AFTER I SEND THIS YOU ARE OFFICIALLY IGNORED SO KEEP ON SENDING/POSTING STUFF THAT NO ONE CARES OR...

Tank sounds pretty big just for guppies mollies and tetras. I found that in a large tank the smaller fish just don't stand out :( I was lucky to find an aquarium where they bred quite large Fancy Angel fish together with neon tetras and interesting doesnt eat them. Still havent eaten them 5...

Tolak no burn intended, I don't stalk your other threads so am unfamiliar that you do not breed goldfish. SlyPolak Gold fish a good fish to keep entertaining and less demanding of time, they accept chlorinated tap water and live on quite happily. The host of this site made a very good read...

Only because i'm paranoid I don't trust adding water directly, No reason or other direct need. Logically adding lots tap water to a room temperature 'cold water' tank is fine, but changing the temperature on a tropical tank rapidly with cold water rapidly doesnt make much sense to me. I trust...

doesnt sound like a truce to me sounds like a direct insult. Take your goldfish a stay elsewhere.

I didn't intend to fire a shot I am just personally experienced changing from goldfish to tropical that goldfish are not even close to as sensitive to change as their tropical counter parts. When the 200 litre tank broke nearly ten years ago I put them in a grotty old pond in the back yard and...

My comments have all been related to the OP actually problem, avoiding large water changes when introducing fish from old to new tank to reduce the stress. I do monthly water changes however I let that water sit at 26 deg for a day in a quarantine tank treated with conditioner before I introduce...

Thats because they are goldfish, they can live in an untreated and unmaintaded outdoor pond. They are not Tanganyikan cichlids

how dare you speak to me like that No lecture intended just advice, I don't expect you to agree wiht me but but act with decency I only shop at proper aquariums I not getting advice from kitten store shops but aquarium stores where i ask how they care for their own fish. Which is what i try to...

obviously all fish are different hardfish like Tetras and Goldfish, when healthy don't have any trouble with large water and PH changes however most larger fish are very sensitve to this. unless that water is pretreated, similar temperature and settled for a day that is pretty bad practise as...

it may sound silly but maybe he is sad or lonely. how is the paired black phantom behaving?

Sorry to hear about your fish There is probably an algae bloom (algae grows uncontrollably on roofs and rain water tanks if not controlled properly. Even with water treatments in the tank it takes least week to remove algae. In future do not completely fill your new tank, especially if it is...
