current media layout in each tray is : top - bio max in both sides mid - filter floss in both sides bottom - biomax in one side, carbon in the other. the manual recommends the biomax tubes to be in the top tray and the carbon to be in the bottom. i have always used filter floss in my...

I have a 260l bow front tank with a fluval 305 and 203. The tank is reasonably well planted and appears to have a decent flow from right to left (not sure thats important :unsure: ) I have cadinals, head and tail lights, endlers, a couple of glowlights, a pair of bolivian rams and a golden...

When I set up my 260l tank I got a new fluval 305 to go with my old fluval 203 and have them both set up and running fine. The problem is that the 305 does not seem to be filtering as much muck out of the water as the 203. when I open them up for cleaning the 203 needs it, but the 305 is almost...

Hi there, No it does not come with a spray bar. it comes with an 'output nozzle'. Not sure if you can get them as an optional extra. ask at your LFS.

Unfortunately this is a v large and quite expensive piece of bogwood that looks really good in the tank, so I am reluctant to just give up on it. I would rather find and cure the cause to the algae. Also, the wife likes it so that means it is staying :hey: :D

THANKS !! :good: :shout: :shout: Not a lot of help...... but ate least I know I am not alone :lol: LOL

I have just ordered some moonlight LED strips for my tropical tank. I was hoping to use these at both ends of an 8 - 10 hour photoperiod for an hour or two. The question that came to mind was .... is this going to promote algae growth due to the longer lighting period? Do moonlight LED's give...

I have had quite a large piece of bogwood in my tank for about 4-5 weeks At weekend I noticed that there was a film of algae forming throughout the tank. During the waterchange last night I removed the big piece of bogwood and found that there was a void underneath it that seemed to be full of...

Well he seems to have got wind of what I was planning ! Just popped home at lunch time, opened the cupboard under the fishtank an the little beggar made me jump out of my skin :lol: He had climbed out of the tank, some how, and was sat there waiting for me. I have just taken him to the...

Thanks for the replies. Will give that a try. :D

This might seem like a bit of a silly question but how do you catch a crab? :unsure: I have a red claw crab that came with my tank, I didnt particularly want him but I couldn't see the previous owner'dispose' of him. Whilst he has been quite amusing over the last couple of weeks, it is...

Thanks for your help everyone. :good: I feel as confident as I can that I have a male and female. The question now is wether they will get on :unsure: mbsq, its good to know that someone else is on the same learning curve, and it would be good to share info.

Thanks for them pics. Having spent the last 20 mins trying to get the money shot, and failing :angry: I would say that fish 2 does seem to be male :) At first I thought the two of them were fighting but it may well be the courtship thing. When I went back to the tank the 'male' had taken...
