They are them little bastards that won't die.

Yes they were wet. I have a couple of FX6's so the though of dismantling them and scrubbing every bit leaves me somewhat cold!

I am going to use new substrate - but here is the crazy thing. Before filling last week the tank was bone dry for a month but since filling with tap water I have now got snails, the only explanation is that the snails were in the filter - which thinking about it means I need to put a load of...

I've just filled an 8ft tank I bought from another poster purely to check everything is working ok, the plan is to empty it again and then add substrate, wood etc. Today I have noticed a load of snails so I guess I have two options and I wonder what people think is best. 1/ whack a whole bottle...

A while back - may even be a few years - there were some pictures on here of some amazing Takashi scapes. The thing is, the scapes were actually done in thimble sized glass tubs but on first view you thought they were full sized aquariums. Anyhow, I have lost all the pics and links, does...

Low PH and not chemically induced?

Thanks for the reply, interesting about the RO as I assumed it would help the plants - even if 50% RO

Hi Just wondered what the opinion was with using RO water for a new set up (and do the buffers work without introducing CO2 - as I wasn't planning on using CO2 Thanks

You should consider it, maybe as a group of UKAPS members. The main downside with HK though is that beer prices are through the roof! You can also get return to Singapore from HK with Tiger Airlines for just over £120 inc luggage If you visit a fish farm in Singapore email them beforehand and...

In HK business types are clustered so shopping is easy. Jaffe Rd is full of bathrooms, Happy Valley area is full of lighting, Lockhart (part of it) is full of hooker bars etc etc God I miss the place!

No I haven't done any fishy visiting apart from the area previously mentioned. Next time I go I'll spend an extra day there. I have a good friend in HK that I know from when we were both in the industry in UK so I'll get him to take me around as he still dabbles in exporting a few fish to UK.

I'll have a look next time I go. One good turn deserves another - If you want a friendly pub without streams of tourists try The Junk Pub on Jaffe Rd. If you want a 24 hour pub with good atmosphere and not full of drunk Aussies try The Bridge on Lockhart. You may of course already know these

Hi all As a new member I am still finding new topics and last night I came across the "where to buy" section. Someone posted about where to go if you were visiting China or Hong Kong to which I offered a short reply but then thought it may be of interest on here as it is a busier part of the...

Hi there I was kindly recommended EQJ by a member and on first viewing the goods looked good and price fantastic - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/EQJ-Trading I was planning on buying from them but found some horror stories on the net relating to products and service. This is just one of them as an...

Re: After a lifelong absence I've got the bug again - advice Thanks foxfish This is a bit of a blow as I like tall aquariums and yes I was planning on a carpet of plants covering the bottom. I don't mind spending a few quid on lighting but everything has its limit. This is what I was thinking...

Greetings Kept aquariums as a kid before entering into the trade in the 80's where I spent many years before becoming fed up with it all. Anyway, just set up a little aquarium for my (grown up) daughter and have got the bug again. I have decided to get a 48 x 20 x 30 (inches) aquarium...
