Hi, are there any externals have built in heaters ? Thanks

Hi, I have recently had cory fry (long story - did not want them) and they are outgrowing the breeding net. I need to grow them more before the LFS will take them off my hands. I have a spare heater and a plastic tub - is there a way of connecting this tub to the main tank - secondary...

Hi, Update Firstly they have spawned again but no eggs saved! The wifey counted them when transferring to the new breeding net today (she ordered new one as the other needed a clean) 65 albino and only 4 peppered (they are a lot smaller than the albino and have not faired as well). I have a...

Thanks for the advice chaps x

Hi, Long story - not a question just a statement Trying to get the wife into 'fish' I bought a breeding net as she only showed interest when cories gave birth and appeared distressed at all the eggs being eaten. I thought grow a couple and put them in the new tank! I work away most of the time...

Hi Giforce, I can't say they are ''naff'' because my ''mate'' has not got one! But please keep us informed of your experience with this, it is obviously the way forward - I used to moan at fluff on my needle when playing singles but rejected CDs for a long time! The ZX 80 was not great but.......

Hi, What is the easiest sort of grass to grow? Ideally I would like a foreground plant for a small (sand) aquarium - which has java fern & moss and approx 50% coverage with amazon frogbit. i have 15 pygmy cories in there but they are shy and was hoping to get them to the front more. Thanks

Apologies fishyfeet, I disagree put an external on - I run a river reef 94l and keep the internel running (which is good probably better flow than the 305) but I also have a Fluval 305 - you can control the flow of the Fluval (a spray bar is a must in a small tank) and if you put a lot of floss...

Cheers, Just emptied 2 bottles of the wife's fizzy water and refilled / frezeered. About the lights ? the tank is far hotter than the room presumably because of the lights - but if I turn these off (which is whatI did immediately on coming home) whatabout my plants ? (Java moss & anubias - not...

Hi, I am sure this is an old one but summer is here ! My tanks got upto 30.2C whilst I was out today - 3 X 20% brought them back ish. I looked at coolers last year but they are cost & space prohibative. Any tips ? Cheers

What type of shrimp ? What is your set up i.e. what are the other occupants ? I guess also whatis your tank set up - I am thinking is it brackish ?

Good question but before any of the learned on here give any advice they may ask the following :-) 1. How big is your tank ? 2. What are the dimensions ? 3. How established is your tank ? 4. Is it planted ? 5. What are your NH3/NO2/NO3 levels ? 6. Do you have an API liquid kit ? 7. Do you know...

Thanks

I have the porous ceramic things, I thought these were where most of the bacteria lived - I use the filter foams at the inlets of my externals to take the gunk out
