Thanks to everyone, as soon as the weather improves and I can feel safe carrying a new tank from my car up the path, I'm off to treat myself with my Christmas money.

I am an old newby and have a medium sized tank with everything running smoothly (help from this site!). Like most people on this site, who enjoy the hobby, I now want to buy a bigger tank and move my stock and plants over to the larger tank, but I do not want two tanks. I have fish that are...

THANKS a lot for that, especially the advice about the carbon, I thought it was supposed to be in 24/7! I will now go and get some filter bags, as I am sure I can get them to stay in the filter system. I'll take your advice and get some ceramic type 'stuff'. As I said because I have everything...
