Can anyone advise on a good INTERNAL air pump for my Juwel 240L Aquarium. Thanks. Sean

Hi Just started with my 240L tank with a sand base. Wondered what people use to vacuum the inevitable bits of junk that accumulate on the sand surface. Don't want to end up hoovering all the sand up as well, just the junk. Is there anything out there that's that precise, easy to use and...

Thanks, Don't get me wrong, I will do a proper Fishless cycle. Just strange I've never heard of it before! Sean

Thanks guys And yet my friends tanks are all fine after doing what the shops told them? And my point is the shops aren't trying to sell me testing kits, etc. Most of them say they're not necessary!! Go figure! Sean

Hi We have a BiOrb aquarium at the moment and to be honest don't like it that much (warped views, no room on base, etc) So we're upgrading to a normal rectangular shaped aquarium, something like the Fluval Roma 240. Main reason we'll probably go for this is we want to put the aquarium on top...
