Ah but i have a fluval 105 on my small tank its made really bad horid pipes ect but my rena xp3 is great no problems.

( this is going to be never ending ) :lol:
 
Eheim seem to get recommended by everyone I think I`ll look at one when I upgrade.
I`ve also heard JEBO filters are good and the prices are ridiculously cheap £49.95 for 1200lph model.

If only all filters where as cheap.

EDIT for got to say Tanks has a Tetratec I believe they are worth checking out.

Thanks for that, it looks like a very good deal.

Help!!!!!!!!!

What have I started!!!!

Well I think I decided that I will get an Eheim 2128.........The brand seems to be the best available and I'm planning to have it till it dies.(or upgrade) and it will take away the need of any other heating products.

Well im sure that I will probably change my mind a few times before i order it!!
 
Dont change your mind, get on the blower now and grab it LOL :p
 
Has anyone got experiance of using www.thelivingseas.co.uk website?

they seam to be the cheepest on the web unless anyone has some suggestions?
Yes that's where I ordered mine from, they were great, no probs and the delivery was quick.
 
just to ad my bit i got my filter and my tank cheaper in lfs than anywhere on line

( i know someone will disagre ) :lol:
 
your desperatly wanting someone to disagree with you tonight adambrum. :p

OK I will. My lfs sold my tank for just over £100 more than most online stores. They also charged nearly £50 more for the filter I bought and their test kits were £7 more than the one I got on ebay. :p
 
my girlfriends not around tonight ha ha !

p.s. find another lfs mine sells cheap equipment but horid fish.
 
If I had to find another one it wouldn't be the lfs it would be the lsfs (long shlep fish shop)
 
No but I can thorughly recommend Aqutics Online http://www.aquatics-online.co.uk/
I know they do a Price Match but I`m sure the other place is ok they have a full page ad in PFK I think ?

I'm going to second nick on this one. I use aquatics online for buying all my odds and ends. Its actually cheaper to get my stuff from England and have it posted to me in Ireland than go to my LFS. I got a tetratec700 ( a great filter by the way, but then again I have never had any other external filters) and it was about half the price that I would pay for it in Ireland. Its a great online shop with a very good description of all the products that they sell.

Plus the girl who looks after online sales "Jackie" is always very nice and polite to deal with.

a top quality site!!

I just want to draw your attention to a post that I have made in the "other pets section"! It is by far one of the funniest videos I have seen in a long time. Flying dogs and Laser Beams . Maybe its just me, but I think its class!!!! wwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Well the story so far...............
........it started as a dream and now the 90 Gallon custom tank, hood and stand is on order and should arrive in a few weeks.

After getting lost in filter info I went out and robbed a bank so I could get the Rolls Royce of filters, the Eheim 2128 - the one with the built in heater which will be ordered on monday at a bargin price of £166.

I have also been looking into the best substrate to use.....

QUESTION TIME

crushed coral subtrate? I understand that this will help in raising the ph level as my tap water is about 7.0

Do you think this will be enough to raise the ph level sufficiently?

Does that eheim come with the filter media for that price ash?
