    Tank plumbing

    Hi everyone, I'm looking at a new tank for my new house. I have a great space under the stairs in my living room that will let me fit in a 5ft long, 2.5ft wide by 2ft tall tank! A friend's going to custom-make me a cabinet for underneath and at the side of the tank and the plan is to have the...

    Journal My new pond

    Thought some of you might like to have a look at my new pond build. I've moved house so need a new pond! This is going to be very different from the last one and designed to be as maintenance free as possible with the best possible results. I'm going to have a sieve (a filter with a 300...

    Ashes Final Test

    Well as I'm typing this we've survived the first over so my heart beat has settled down a little! If you're not a cricket fan then I know this is probably a bit hard to understand but there's nothing like cricket to build and sustain the tension of a sporting event. All of you football fans...

    Uganda!

    I've finally got round to uploading some of the photos from my recent trip to Uganda. I flew into Entebbe Airport, right next to Lake Victoria, and then drove to Kampala and onto Masaka town where I was staying with the headteacher of our partner school, Meeru Primary School in Masaka District...

    DIY Pond filters

    Before telling you how to make your own pond filter you need to work out what you want your pond filter to do and what you want out of it. There are a wealth of different designs you can have, some even ran by no more than a large air pump, but they all work slightly differently and require...

    DIY Project DIY Reactor - pictures, assembly and testing

    I decided to start a new thread for this so it doesn't get cluttered up with the other one. First of all let me start with the plan so you can see the development of it. This is the line-drawing of the reactor design. It has a half metre length of clear PVC, Grey PVC socket and bend at...

    Anyone want a DIY Reactor?

    Rather than pollute and sidetrack Behjold's thread any more I have decided to start up a new thread here. Further to Simon's suggestion I've been looking at buying clear PVC pipe to make up a reactor and pricing things up a little further and I reckon I can do a reactor as the drawing below for...

    DIY LED lighting?

    I need some help from the more electronically minded of you. After looking at the Maplin links quoted in another thread here I saw these LED Bright strips. I was thinking an array of these might be perfect for lighting a tank. Don't suppose anyone has used them in a DIY job in there house or...

    F1 is a complete joke.

    And anyone who knows me knows how much I love F1 but this run of Ferrari bias, and I can't think of any other way to explain the recent (and not so recent) stewards decisions, is completely ruining the sport. I watched a great race today where a brilliant driver messed up his race in the first...

    Growing on pond with DIY Shower

    Thought I'd share some pics and info on my Growing on/Quaratine set up. I've just changed the filter to a newish type that is pretty revolutionary as it needs no cleaning. It's called a shower filter and it's basically a trickle filter on steroids. The idea is that you chuck lots of water...

    Is Hell exothermic or endothermic?

    This was posted on another forum I look in on and it made me laugh so I thought I'd post here for you guys to enjoy reading. You gotta love this students reasoning! So Hell has already frozen over so I'm able to relax. Except for the fact that I wonder what would happen if logic such as this...

    Petition

    This was posted on a koi forum I visit and I thought that a few people here might agree with it and add their signatures too. They're risking life and limb keeping us safe the least we can do is look after them properly if they need us to.

    Apisto Heaven

    Well maybe... This weekend I took the plunge and cleared out my old 180 litre tank. It's a 36" x 18" x 18" tank with a homemade wooden hood. Lighting was two, 18W T8 Interpet Daylight pluss with a 55W T5 power compact Daylight plus too. Filtration is an Ehiem 2128. CO2 will be pressurised...

    Simple DIY CO2 Reactor

    I needed a CO2 reactor for my 180 l tank and so, as I usually do, I went down the DIY route. I had a gravel cleaner (now unused), a spare top from it's predecessor, an airline connector, some Bioballs (Pond biological filter media) and some spare 12/16 Ehiem tubing and realised these could make...

    Nanochromis transvestitus

    I'm assuming the Nanochromis transvestitus in your EI article are yours? How long have you had them and any luck breeding them? (or keeping them from killing each other actually!) What size tank are they in?

    New source of Wild South American fish with potential.

    Just thought I'd add a link to something that I think could be a really valuable source of fish for our tanks, especially things like Otos, cories and tetras. TA Aquaculture, who I use for all my dried food and Brine shrimp (they sell really good quality stuff for very good prices), are...

    Ed's Rio 180

    Well as I picked up my tank today I thought I'd start my journal of it's development off. Nothing much will be happening until the substrate arrives from Richard and the plants from Aquaspot world, but the hardware's almost all done! I have to start here by saying how brilliant Maidenhead...

    Ordering from AquaSpot World

    What size glass diffuser for Rio 180?

    Simple question! What size glass diffuser would I need for a 40g tank? I'm planning to put it underneath the outlet from the Juwel filter to distribute the bubbles. I'm looking at either a Rhinox 3000 or 5000; or a Dazs Spiro. If the Sprio's up to the job I might try one of those as I will...

    Which type of Aquasoil and Powersand?

    So my tank (Rio 180) is ordered and should be with me towards the end of the week apparently! (I will be pretty impressed if that's true, but this Maidenhead aquatics have been superb so far!) So I'm now getting down to the scape inside. The plan, as I've said elsewhere on here, is going to...

    DIY T5 lighting

    Hi everyone. After all the help on whether or not to get a juwel tank I've realised the majority were right and I need to do a custom built job. Putting aside the tank, cabinet and filtration etc., as I think I have a good idea for all of that, I need some help with the lighting. Obviously I'd...

    Juwel Rio 180

    Hi guys, Well Christmas is here and I may be lucky enough to have permission to stick a metre long tank in the lounge! As such as Juwel Rio 180 black looks like the perfect choice, but is there anything I should know about them? I have already spotted that the new High Lite units seem to use...

    Wood for tank

    The most unusual fish that works in a planted tank...

    Rather than have a best/worst fish for a planted tank I though it might be fun to start this bit off with a slightly more unusual question.... "What is the most 'unusual' fish that you have, or want to have, in a planted tank?" They could be very rare fish, hard to source or things that people...
