Lovely, thanks for that.

No no, sorry for the misunderstanding - I have a blue one which is completely fine, the Power Glow was the flickering one. So with the blue one and the Aqua Glow that should be ok?

Hi folks. I need to replace a bulb which has now flickered off to a better place up in strip light heaven. I currently have a blue moonlight by Interpet in there, and from before I fitted that, I also have a Glo Aqua Glow bulb which I took out when I got the moonlight one. Does anyone know if...

Right folks, so having taken in all the advice, quite a lot has changed since I originally posted this thread! I now have a lovely L288 red tiger plec sitting pretty on the bottom of my tank, and having rehomed the two fish suggested, and set up my new filter, all is good in the hood so far!

Ha ha, well fortunately I'm pretty handy with a hacksaw, and am an expert fudger so shouldn't be a problem!

Ha ha well one thing I didn't think about - because my tank is not designed for this filter, I can't put the lid on now! Think some hacking of the lid is in order, unless I can actually get a lid cover that has a bigger gap in it....

Thanks guys. Filter now up and running. Trip to a new fish shop tomorrow to see if I can replace my fish I have rehomed with something more suited to my tank setup. Got a few new platies in there that seem to be getting along nicely with the rest. I'm guessing I should leave my internal filter...

Ah great, cheers. Although just looking now, the flow of water actually goes from bottom tray to top (after it's gone through the foam), so I think biomedia on top then in that case? Man, this is a tad more involved than my current filter!

Hi guys. Right, new filter has arrived (and both fish have now been rehomed too). So, can anyone please give me some advice on this Fluval 305 filter? It says the filter comes with media in the trays they recommend, but as I've bought this second hand, the trays are empty. Any suggestions on...

Quite fancying the L262. Only small, but looks lovely. Wonder how much he'd be.......

Erm, wow..... What a range of unusual and interesting fish! Well I'm slightly gutted I haven't found out about this place before! Considering I have a fully stocked tank I feel like I should've found this place sooner! Well I'll be heading down there soon. I've even considered the prospect of...

Yeah I actually did that in the past, I saw gold nugget plec I think it was called, and even a small one was about £30, which to me is a lot to spend on a small fish. I shall have a trek down there soon, and have a scope round. Very sensible I think to look round, then come back and do some...

Ah brilliant! I will certainly pop down then in the near future. There really are hundreds on that site aren't there! I'll aim to get one that fully grown is no more than around 7" then. Thanks a lot for that, I'll be off to Wigan soon then!

Aw he's lovely James. Something like that would be perfect! I'll have a look at that site, cheers for that. I'm in Preston currently, but may be on the move in the next few months. What you thinking?

Well, I have rehomed the messy gibbi, he's gone to a better place. I'll miss him though :-( Any recommendations as to something fairly similar but obviously much smaller and less messy? I am currently bidding on a nice Fluval 305 external filter on Ebay, and I've already done two big water...
