Well, i'm now just gathering the pieces together bit by bit to make my external sized internal filter so, what i'll do, is when I have all the bits together i'll open up another topic and show how i've done it. I doubt most people will do likewise but, it may be of some interest to some and if...

Yeah, RTB Sharks seem to be wierd that way, they've got a reputation for being a bit stroppy and yet, especially when they are younger they seem to get on very well with other fish. Some say that as long as the RTB grows up with the fish they are with they don't seem to get too stroppy. My...

Aye, I see what you mean. Been through the list and it does seem closest to both 1 and 4. It's hard to tell when they are that small I dare say and probably, the patterning will change later on too. But you must admit, it does look very interesting. I always end up invariably looking and...

You guys have definitely given me a lot to think about here. I do want to do a good job of it all so it's well worth the research. Yep, essentially I am trying to create an external filter in an internal environment. Depending on the external filter they all seem to do the same thing but in...

It's a nice looking Hybrid. Planet Catfish will no doubt give you an exact description of the characteristics. Hopefully it stay more Petricola size at least not a million miles away from it. I had a couple of Synodontis Eupterus (Featherfin) inheritted from a tank I bought but haven't got the...

That is all very interesting folks. To give you guys a better idea of the filtration, i'll try and explain what I will be building: Upturned Canister filters from Powerheads/Internal Filters(Foam Sponge). These will be fixed to essentially a rectangular box that will contain ceramic rings...

Go on spoil yourself!! You know you want to!! :lol:

Cheers once again mate, The Iquatics Ceramic Rings have been bought. :good:

Cool, looking forward to it! :good: I find the same, I always see something else I like and have to work out how i'm going to work it to get the new fish with my existing tanks. It's definitely a juggling act.

Been shopping around .... so, another question: Alphagrog media 4kg for £16 inc delivery or Iquatics ceramic rings, 5kg's at £21.99 inc delivery?

Oakely doakely, ceramics it will be. :good:

Too true, I don't even bother telling myself that's my last trip as I know i'll only be kidding myself :lol: Going there is like going to a large aquarium when you're a kid and to a Sweet/Toy Shop! It's the same feeling, just we're a little older and the hobbies are sometimes a little bit more...

Spot on then, tried and tested!! There seems to be some argument about which, technically has the greatest surface area. The ceramics are micro pourous and have greater surface area but the plastic bio balls aren't that far apart I would imagine. Might see about mixing them to play safe...

I live in a very old farm house in the country. I'm refurbishing one of the upstairs bedrooms, had a nice little find, in pencil of course, one of the roof beams were signed by the roofer. It was dated 1823. There is no upstairs plumbing per se, the bathroom is downstairs so not a lot of choice...

Jeez Louise!! That's like a £5 in our money!! I always thought I was on the wrong side of the pond. My Grandad (God rest him) emigrated to Canada some years ago and always said I should leave the UK, he was very much taken with BC. We get robbed blind over here over everything!! Anyway, I will...
