Cheers guys. I'll check out your recommendations. It's more the external Dia that comes up larger when I've purchased off eBay on a couple of occasions. This makes it difficult to fit connectors for my filter, inline heater etc. Eheim's are perfect, just wanted some identical to those but...

Hi there. Does anyone have any recommendations for 16/22mm clear hose stockists in and around South Cheshire or online? I've brought off eBay in the past but it always seems to come up larger Dia than is advertised. Makes it a real pain in the ass to fit securely to Lily's, inline heater etc...

Some great responses, thanks guys. :thumbup: Never heard of Mame Overflows before, they look nice. Is that one pictured Tom? Would be nice to see some pictures Clonitza if you get chance to upload. I`m about to order a custom 3ft`er, so would be interested to see how big the outflow actually...

:lol: :lol: Considering what? That they`re made of plastic! :lol:

Stumbled upon these earlier. Is anybody using one? The built in skimmer is a nice idea but how obtrusive does this make the inlet appear? I`m liking the idea of acrylic too, especially with two enquisitive children in the house! :lol...

Re: DIY ADA style 60p Cabinet/Stand meets Exotic wood from O Awesome cabinet mate. You should be well proud of that. :thumbup: Nice to see something different from the usual Battleship Grey ADA style self builds.(Which I`m currently doing) :lol:

Re: DIY ADA style 60p Cabinet/Stand meets Exotic wood from O Excited to see this. No pictures to share? Welcome to the forum. :wave:

Cheers for the link. It kind of reminds me of a similar reactor I saw a while back. I think it was a Jacqno or something like that. Where yours differs is the internal bottle neck that creates a vortex. Much more efficient I would think?

Cheers for the advice. :thumbup: Where would be the best place to look for an affordable filter housing?

That`s fantastic mate. Do think it would be as effective if you were to run it without the additional pump and just used a external canister filter? I`m really impressed with this and am considering having a go at it myself, trouble is I don`t think my G6 is man enough. It can`t handle the...

Bump..

6!! That`s just greedy. :lol: Did you accidentally lose any when recieving them? :shifty: I never really thought of them being used for other applications other that this hobby. Makes sense I suppose. Cheers for the input fellas, appreciated. You`ve put my mind at rest. Better get replanning my...

As the title suggests, does anybody run their Hydor ETH300 inline heater in a horizontal posistion? I`m planning a bit of an elaborate plumbing system in my new set up and am struggling to fit the thing in whilst posistioned vertical. Laying it down would solve all my problems, but is it safe...

Hi folks. Does anybody know of any regulator mountable bubble counters that are compatible with the JBL Proflora range? image below. I`ve found a couple of sellers of similar units on Ebay but none give confirmation of thread size and I don`t really want to risk ordering something that is...

DIY all the way!! Like Wazuck says B&Q stock 18mm MDF sheet and it`s cheap as chips. Some branches offer free cutting as well. Just give them a cutting list and the hardest part is done. :thumbup: There are technical drawings floating around the internet for a *ahem* popular brand of...

:lol: :lol: This video does make it look like an absolute doddle! The speed which he applies the silicone is mental. :shock: I am not so naive to think it will be this straight forward though, my 5 min DIY jobs usually turn into 5 hour jobs. Definitely food for thought though. Cheers pal. I`m...

No way....I had read this article a few days ago when I first started researching. It was actually this that made up my mind to have a go at doing my own. No lie? :clap: Really impressed with the nano tank and cabinet build. The attention to detail is superb and all the technical stuff in...

That is some saving? Definately will be worth the effort then. Will search for local glass suppliers and get some quotes together :D I see where you are coming from, it`s now becoming clear. I run a bead of silicone around the perimeter of the base section on the top face. I run a bead of...

Interesting link that mate. Thanks very much! £230.00 for a 1000x500x500 10mm drilled, polished, bevelled, delivered! :shock: Makes you wonder if DIY is worth the time and effort? It will be very interesting to see how much the glass alone will cost for this little project I have in mind...

Hi mate. Thanks for the advice. Very much appreciated! You did a good job, don`t worry it all makes perfect sense, however there is one thing I`m still unsure about. How do you manage to fit the side panels neatly as the way you describe the process of construction if all sections are sitting...

I wanted to have a go at making my own custom tank. Size will be 1000x500x400. It will be braceless and made from 12mm thick Optiwhite glass. The thing is, I`m struggling to find anything online in regards to the best/safest way to align the pieces. I don`t know if it would be best to use the...

Hi mate. I use one of these. The 1000 Variation - 150/1000lph http://www.swelluk.com/aquarium/pumps-and-powerheads-33/water-pumps-206/eheim-compact-pumps-290.html I connect some 16 mm hose pipe, drop it in the tank and pump out 50%. I have a 80 litre storage container outside which I fill with...

I will be watching this thread with interest Skatersav. I had asked the same question a while back regarding removing the vile trim on my Rio180. After recieving good advice and comforting words of wisdom from members I still havn`t had the balls to go ahead and do it. I will await your attempt...

Cheers guys. IF (and it`s a big if) I do this it will be done when the tank is broken down which I plan on doing in the new year? So it will be done empty!! I havn`t totally ruled out cutting the sides yet. The sell on value would be an issue but then it would give me an excuse to keep it, and...

Hi guys. I have opened another thread on this issue, mainly because I wanted to see if I could obtain anymore info? Please don`t think I don`t appreciate your help, and advice in this thread, because I do! Thank you, please. :D

Myself, and some other members had started disscussing this issue in another thread that was unrelated to this topic. So I have opened a new thread here to see if others will stumble across it and offer their experience, technical knowledge etc? I have a Rio180 and want to start using lily...

After a bit of quick research it would appear the glass is in the Rio180 is 10mm thick. I can`t clarify this though because I`m stuck at work at the minute. I read on another forum that Juwel had confirmed that it is safe to remove the brace bar as it is not a structurally necessity? Apparently...

:lol: :lol: If only life was so simples? :)

I am seriously concidering removing this veneer now, thing is. :D Will it be safe as the bracing bar is housed within it! Wonder if it`s worth starting a new thread about this subject? Do you know if this topic has been talked about in more depth on here?

I had thought about a complete removal of the trim. Seems like a tough task though, did you manage to remove yours with no damage?? I was worried with my heavy hands I would inflict irrepairable damage? I have an all ponds solution 4x39watt luminaire. They are of good quality, however I don`t...

Cheers guys. I worry about sell on value of the Rio if I start hacking at it. I already sold the lightbar, and flaps to finance a luminaire upgrade. Funny thing is I actually had a dream last night that I went to visit my granddad and found some Perspex lilly pipes in his shed, they worked...

God damn it... So pretty much a no then. I imagine the veneer on a Vision would be the same as a Rio, both being Juwels and that? What method do you use?

So, as the title suggests does anyone use lilly pipes on a rio180. I was concerned that the drop of the outlet pipe would not be deep enough to hang over the side of the tank and reach below the waters surface due to the veneer that runs around the top of the tank. Unfortunately I`m stuck with...
