Hi guys,   I have a fluval roma 90 that came with its standard lighting unit. I'm wanting to upgrade the lighting.   The easiest thing to do would be to buy an overhanging light unit and swap them over. However, my girlfriend doesnt like the look of the overhanging units. Plus there would be a...

Does anyone have any tips on cleaning tesco cat litter. I've poured the bag into a black bucket and then filled with water. I then get my hands stuck in and keep turning the litter throughout the bucket. This makes the water go a rusty orange colour. I repeated this process for 2 hours! It's...

Righto. Cheers mate

Oh dear. I thought it was going to be a couple of days max. Oh well, cheers guys

How long does redmoor root usually take to sink?

I'm going to be having half tesco cat litter and half argos play sand in my tank. Will the two mix into each other or will i have to put some sort of plastic in between them to keep them seperate?
