Cool, is there no lighting that produces next to no heat at all? I really want my tank to be energy efficient as I'm a poor student with electricity bills to pay!!

:hyper: I'm so excited about my new all plant tank, I am trying to find the best lights to grow plants using very little electricity and generating very little heat. The pinned topic on lights says that Electronic ballasts are the best for powering the lights, where can I get these from in the...

Wow, I never knew there were so many types of fish that would fit in such a small tank! If only more people knew there was more out there than a gold fish :/. Dwarf Puffers look really sweet and there is some good info' out about them, the ciclids also sound interesting. You're right about it...

I'll be living away from home for 3 years at uni' and would like to have a tank while I'm there with a fish or two in to as a companion since I'm leaving all my animals at home with my 'rents. The uni' says no pets are allowed but if I have a small tank and a cute fish I might be able to get...

Errrrr?

This sounds pretty cruel with any type of fish. Keep it as just as various snails and live plants though and it might be fun.

I went to the funfair yesturday where I live and there was a carnie' with a hoop-the-stick style game who was giving away 2 or 3 inch long goldfish to winners. He had a 15gal tank (at a guess) with about 30 or 40 fish inside it and no visable method of filtration. He was giving away 1gal tanks...

What is the name of the virus in my fish tank? It's like cotten wool. Two of my fish have died of it along with 3 fry. I'm very worried that the virus is strong in my tank since I was out for a day and when I got back one fish had died and was covered in cotten wool and was badly decomposed...

The ammonia in the eye thing that made me half blind would probably be the worst fish related story I have. I don't particually want to talk about it though.

Because I like fish and wanted to keep more... :unsure:

Cats. :alien:

This is a once in a lifetime thing really isn't it? I mean you can get a laptop at any time.... Hmmmm I sent the guy an e-mail at enquiries@meraquatica.co.uk, I hope he gets back to me soon! I should probably phone him to make sure they don't sell out. My dad says he doesn't care since it'd be...

I'm in love with that tank and stupidly tempted to get it to fill a huge blank hole in the lounge. *holds debit card in sweaty palms* Laptop or fish tank.... laptop or fishtank.....

Wow! Imagion what you could do with that! How many filters/heaters would it take?!

That's ok, it's an interesting thread. Although like others it makes me feel defensive too. pica_nuttalli I did find your logic offensive but accept your reasoning although by the same measure of not saving every last fry you could say it's ok to drive over a few pet cats since there are so...
