fair enough, i will consider my options then, i prefer to go large so to speak but depends on her indoors!!! Tha :hyper: nks for all your help :good: :good: :good:

Considering the not too far off stock internal flow rate would i be better off going for the next model up? the 2028... Then should I upgrade the tank to a larger one I have a big enough filter to take it. Not sure about the dimension's though, it may not fit in the cabinet!!!

Overkill in what way? I was under the impression that the higher the turnover rate of water the better, Also would it make it crystal clear water the higher the turnover rate? Also I have sorted out the issue, it was ont the bloomin filter wool, totally clogged up, only put it in on Saturday...

They will price match!!! Thats amazing, expecially at the extortionate price they were charging. I dont need it straight away but would like it sooner rather then later as once i want something i tend to have to get it eventually.

I found a Eheim 2026 for £109 online with media, went to my local maidenhead aquatics and they are selling them for £188 without media bloomin rip off!!!! Juwell will be replaced as I know a man who can!!! so that will keep me going and I will be ordering the above filter, unless its not big...

Got a Juwel rekord 96 tank with stock Juwel 400 pump.... Some point today, just noticed it has stopped. STripped it down and cleaned it and got it going again but at a much reduced rate. Now will the filter and fish be ok? and I want to replace the pump anyway with an external, what is the...

I have been thinking about switching my tank's inhabitants to cichlids and was wondering if its possible? Or do i have to re-home all the current stock? I have the following 1 golden gourami 11 neon tetra 7 platy 2 apple snails 1 bristlenose plec 2 danio 96 litre tank (i think) Juwell...

This is something I hae wanted to do for ages as i do not like the coarse gravel i hvae had since i set up my tank in November. How do you go about the process? I think i want eiher fine gravel or sand not sure which but do you have to empty everything out first including fish & water? If so...

There is surface movement on the water surface so i suppose there is no need to change the pump, it is a medium stocked tank i would say and the filtration system is coping well. Only change i may make then is the lghting, dont fancy doing any DIY on it so maybe get a higher wattage tube??

I have had a juwel rekord 96 tank now for about 8 months and it has been a brilliant buy. Just wondering as i feel like i would like a stronger flow of water at the top of the tank and the pump seems a little week now. I have no air pump in the tank at all. Are they a worthy purchase or are...

ok so I added 6 neon tetra's yesterday, instantly my 6 danios turned on them, started chasing them round and nipping them etc. was a bit mad really and we didnt know what to do, i know i have lost two of them, i have one body and the other body i know is in the filter somewhere/somehow (they...

6 neons added today. is it normal for them to be picked on so much? There all being chased and nipped, i guess it will calm down in time. There so small i have not counted 6 since i put them in can only get to 4, also they have decided to go into the filter inlet vent for protection

take it out and leave th space where it was empty? or would it bebest to replace it with something different?

it is a 96 liter tank i do want some tetra's in there was thinking of 6-10 something like that. what about an algae eater sooner or later for one of them?

Need some ideas & tips please 3 week old tank did a fish in cycle with 6 danios, all going strong still, levels stabalised now at AM 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate around 10 What fish would be good to get? and also Am i right in thinking i can only add 1-2 fish as i have done a fish in cycle? does this...
