Is there any small hang on back filters that will fit on an aquarium with a plastic lid.

For about 4 months now my fish have been doing this, the Celestial pearl danios all stay under a corner plant only coming out at feeding, and my Sparkling Gourami lives permanently near the top of the water next to the outake tube in a vertical position, and never moves, I never see him any...

I will now do a 50% weekly water change, I've Always done a 25%, will the 50% be okay for my fish to take?

Is it a glass lid, if its plastic lid drill 4 holes two either side of the light, and use plastic ties, maybe better if you mentioned what material the lid is made of.

My tank has been running 8 months, fish are good, my problem is blackbeard algae, today is my third time cleaning rocks, I've tried nearly everything, I've taking out my plants and dipped them in Hydrogen peroxide, but it's come back, I've used a pippete spot dosing with Seachem Exel, and...

I thought blue was bad for algae, yet I see you have blue 100% My tank is a year old 200 litre, fully cycled my plants are mostly vallisneria, one sessilifrora, and four small plants on the front. I use fertiliser tabs, and10 mls weekly of TNC Complete weekly. I have done phosphate testing and...

I have been getting blackbeard algae off and on, so now I have cleaned it off my rocks, wood, etc but I want it to stop returning. My plants are low maintenance and I don't have co2, I clean my tank once a week along with a 25% water change. My aquasky was set to sunrise 8am till 9 am. Sunset...

Thanks to everyone who helped, and put up with my daft questions, it's maybe an age thing, I thought there's no point of the Fluval 45 litre mini filter sitting in a cupboard so I've set it up, and I'm happy with it, I do have a hospital tank so it will be handy, I did fancy a wavemaker, but...

Would a wave maker be good and if yes with my 200 litre tank plus my oase filter, what size wavemaker would be good, maybe a daft question but I have no knowledge of wavemakers.

I have a spare fluval mini interior filter one sitting doing nothing, I read someone using it for the same purpose he removed the media material and just run it to add more flow, would this help.it is for a 45 litre tank about 10 gallons

Hi, I do like it, but don't fancy paying out another £219. I thought the answer could have been add a mini or sponge filter.

Hi, I have a 200 litre tank and use a Oase biomaster 250 mark2, which is for aquariums up to 250 litres, I do have a few fish, if I do need to increase flow, what would you add.

H8, I just purchased this light, I'm absolutely useless setting things up, but a friend set it up for me using the auto, and saved the settings, I won't be fitting it under my aquarium lid for a couple of days, so will the settings be saved, and will it remember them, and I won't have to...

My sparkling Gourami, I've had him for about 8 months, he is in a 70 litre tank with Celestial pearl danios and Ember Tetras, no other species of fish, he used to swim freely in the tank, and always was about at feeding time. But for the last month, he is permanently behind the outlet tube...

I suppose its different when you have a prefilter with sponges being the fist contact, as looking at the drawing, you would think the blue sponges would be at the bottom then the three trays of ceramic media, then the finer sponge on top, but anyway I suppose Oase experts will know what's best.
