    Adam's (Tony's old) 5ft Monster tank

    Looks fab! Some Red rainbows would also look fantastic in there.;) PFK have a piece on Reds in this month's edition. I'd forgotten how fantastic these fish are.

    That really looks the business. With a bit of luck that ol'tree may start to take root and could be in full blossom come next spring! But seriously, well done.

    Liberty HOB / Aquaball or another??

    I have a couple of Eheim Pickups running; one in my 30 liter, the other in the 90. Great filters. Extremely quiet and an absolute breeze to clean/maintain. http://oi60.tinypic.com/2j1o3d3.jpg

    Good afternoon, Manrock. Zoo Med Tropic Sun Daylight is what im currently useing in combination with the Grolux, but any full spectrum daylight lamp would be ideal. Btw I'm still using old an ol T8 set-up.

    keeping a lid on Nerite snails.

    Good evening. Yesterday I purchased 2 Nerite snais for my 5 gallon low tech tank . I've read somewhere they're prone to escape if there's a gap or space under the hood. Is this true? Has anyone here had an escaped snail, or indeed a whole crew go missing? Is there anyway to prevent them...
