Yeah 5cm all the way round. 20% off that's pretty good;)

Well I went for the larger than tank size on the small cabinet. I like to have somewhere to put things like bottle caps for example while I'm measuring out a dose. My large tank which is flush (ADA style) I find myself putting things on top of my light. So I went slightly bigger for functional...

I have a 2000 on my 200L driving inline heater, diffuser and a 2 foot spray bar. I get pretty good flow out of it on the lowest setting. I have. My filter is on another 2 foot spray bar.

Yeah I just got 2 pots of Glosso and that was pressing against the lid when they arrived. Great stuff though, you get loads. I planted mine the same day they arrived so cant really say how long they could have stayed in the pot. Will defiantly use the 1-2 grow stuff again :)

Re: Ryuoh Ravine Yeah definately makes the greens pop looks good. May try black on mine ;p

Re: Ryuoh Ravine What no photo showing the black background? :wink:

Yeah it is a real shame, the 2 I had were real characters when they were healthy. Always getting stuck in when I had my arm in the tank doing maintenance almost like they were trying to help out, just not doing a very good job at it and getting in the way more than anything. I felt terrible when...

Are they dwarf honey gouramis? If the are you may want to look into Dwarf Gourami Iridovirus (DGIV). Abdominal swelling is one of the symptoms and is very common in dwarf gourami and always fatal and if one has it chances are they all do. I lost 2 dwarf honeys last year to it.

Thanks. I made a smaller one with sliding doors for my old tank and it's still going strong 3 years later. I think as long as its sealed properly with several coats of eggshell or gloss paint then there shouldn't be any issues with water penetration ;)

Thanks Joecoral, much appreciated :)

Hmmm, the more I look at it, I'm not happy with the semi transparent antistatic background. It's applied by spraying the surface with water then smoothing out the film on the wet surface. It looked great when first applied but as it has dried out over time it has gone blotchy (see left side of...

Re: Curves in all the right places ah that sucks, I suppose they are living up to their name.

Thanks guys, I'll be moving my rag tag bunch of miss fits down from my old tank which includes a couple of pearl gourami, long-finned danios, peppered corys, and neon tetras. I actually went and had a look around the LFS today and they had some lovely Celestial Pearl Danios, quite striking...

Re: Richard's 200L Well chaps/chapesses, Time for the first real update. I received some more equipment the other day, I got all my dry salts for my EI All in one dosing. I much prefer the Tubs for storage rather than the foil bags. I also received a couple of 17mm glass intakes, Up inline...
