Really? No-one has anything to suggest?

Hello Just wondered if there are any reliable auto feeding devices that you can buy in the UK. I've looked at a Juwel product but that's made specifically for a certain type of hood. May be going away in the summer for longer than I'm prepared to leave them without food. Thanks. Martyn

Yep, agree with all of the above. Cycled my first tank about 3 or 4 months ago and I had the same. I freaked a bit and got a filtration-aid chemical. Realise now it was bacterial bloom and it cleared. And another yes to above, don't fall into the trap of, "add the fish in about a week." Read up...

Absolutely. Count me as a vote for JBL. So, so simple to use. Clean and drip free when maintaining. And completely silent (and mine has to sit outside the tank cabinet!)

Don't be persuaded to get into the habit of chucking a chemical in to solve a cosmetic problem. It'll clear.

People say." a tidy desk, a tidy mind' etc When my pipes are clean, I feel clean.

Oh those Pseudomugil furcata are beautiful. Having just acquired my other Blue Eye Rainbowfish (no idea which species specifically), I seem to be developing a fondness for these lovely fish. Wonder where I could buy some of those. Angels are actually quite small at the mo and I fully expect...

Hello, Am looking to get a couple of top feeders and wondered what the options are. I am aware of hatchet fish and love them. Just wondered what other options there might be. My tank is a peaceful community tank stocked with mainly tetras. Thanks Martyn

How odd. My pipes, as well documented, gunk like there's no tomorrow.

They owe us commission!

Yeah, I had no idea either.

I'm not the biggest fan of that shop although they've always been really nice. My favourite is over in St Leonards opposite TK Makks. Really good people. Although none of the local ones come close to the selection I saw in, for example, Maidenhead Aquatics in Fair Oak, Southampton the other day...

Sure is. Fur and feathers. Opposite Marks & Sparks.
