Thanks for the reply SJ2K. All my research over the weekend is telling me that it will not fit in one of the cabinet spaces,it will only fit in middle section(as you have stated), but an Ehiem Pro 3 2080 will fit as it is a good 8cm shorter in width. Only problem is the price difference...

Hi I am wondering if anyone out there has a Fluval FX5 in a Jewel Vision 450 tank?. I was at my LFS today and nearly ordered both of them till i seen the size of the box the FX5 came in, they did not have a vision 450 in the shop for me to measure against. But i am worried that the filter...

just to give an update for user Three Fingers :good: Thanks for pointing me to Hagen Customer Services, they replied to me and have said they will ship me a brand new one for nothing!!!!!! i am over the moon and my poor fish tank can go back to being super clean (only been running on 1 filter...

Thanks for the replys. I have now sent am email to Hagen explaining my situation. s007 - I registered with fluvalparts.com earlier and went to the checkout, in the states the delivery was about $9 standard but as soon as i put uk it was coming up with $0.00 which kind of worried me, and if...

I bought a fluval 405 less than 2 months ago, at the weekend I decided to give it a good clean as I noticed that the water in my tank was not just quite as clear as it had been. So after cleaning the filter i started putting the filter media back in the case and found it quick a struggle and...

Hi Willbo The only fish on your list that i have experience with is Angels and Black Ghost Kinfe Fish For starters a 40 Gallon tank is not big enough for 1 BGK, they can grow to 30" +, although they probs wont reach that massive size a 40G tank is way to small, it is also said that you cannot...

Lovely looking Red Claw Carbs you have there, had one before but was never brave enough to have them out in my hands, Very cool :D

No bogwood dye does not harm the fish, but dependent on the fish you keep bogwood lowers your PH, it is best suited to south american cichlids as it is found in there natural habitat, you just have ti make sure it does not lower the PH too far. Plecos also love this to snack on as well as...

Dont mean to jump on the post but Big Mick i am actually from Irvine same as you

Sorry Big Mick has basically said what i was going say. Your Tank will be fine without a filter for 2 hours but the problem arises with the fact that you will be replacing it with a brandnew filter, just like cycling your tank again, the filter media in your current filter will have seeded by...

just to let you know my 5" BGK cost me £15 from my lfs

your BGK at 6" could make a snack of you neons. If you can i would advise getting a larger tank ASAP, you could go down the second hand route and pick up a nice 5 footer for really good money even that would be a bare minimum for a adult BGK, you have to remember if you were to get a new tank...

Hi Sven_Sol if i read your post right you have a 70 litre tank with a 6" BGK in it, that is far too small a tank for a fish that size, 1. The ripped/ruffeled fins can be caused by other tank mates (what other fish do you have in there?) or by rough edeges I.E rocks, unless the fins are a...

That is a stunning BGK ( for Luke e Black Ghost Knife). I hope mine get to be as beautiful as that.

Thanks for all the replys, really needed the help, think i will put it on the back burner just now, i do have a 4'X2'X2', but that is my cichlid tank, and they aint going anywhere. The main reason i was going to use the trigon was just for me to get used to SW and start learning, i know that it...
