Do you have more information on how it’s put together ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Take screws out and use a hoover to clean out the holes as there may be something in them Once you’ve done that if you’re using a power drill to tighten them don’t try to get them down in one go Reverse the drill to loosen then go in again a little bit more - repeat until it’s flush Make...

If you need to use something to hold substrate (leca) then there’s bath / shower trays which come in various sizes - they are acrylic with lots of holes in them Maybe use magnets or some SS wire to keep them in place Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it was me I’d put some sort of shock absorbers under the egg crate small pieces of cork bark or foam on each corner and in the meddle Or even the the little silicon door stoppers used on cabinets So if something dropped on the egg crate it wasn’t sitting directly on the glass therefore the...

How did you make the feeding bowl ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You get acrylic paints in small tubes from £1 shops home bargains the range or any arts and crafts shop Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If you want white or a light colour use acrylic paint You can mix up the exact shade you want I’ve used it and it works great with a small roller to avoid brush marks Give it a couple of coats It won’t peel of it it gets wet but you can take it off with a scraper Sent from my iPad using...

Looks like a great idea Let us know if you get one and if it’s as good as it looks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I really wouldn’t worry about 1cm unless you think something would knock into and damage the glass but as stated above just put a board of the correct size between the cabinet and the tank Glass is very strong and in lots of fish houses you will see 6ft long x 2ft x 2ft tanks on racks that are...

I can’t see the point of connecting them together through the sides You won’t get a flow around the tank and the last tank will be cooler than the first Why not use a sump system ? The sump can be on the same level it doesn’t have to be underneath Drill each tank at the rear and take a pipe...

Yes agree they aren’t your best option I seen lots of people complain about then and they all have lots of algae problems due to the low flow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If your worried contact them I’m sure I’ve used it in the past Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why not keep it very simple Silicone a piece of acrylic in it across the section of the tank Drill it full of holes Then simply put a big piece of filter sponge (50mm thick) up against it You can put pumps in the chamber so they draw water through the songs Put heaters in there too...

Omg the product may be good but it isn’t cheap Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have only built small tanks for bettas so 5mm thick is overkill but 2mm is a bit risky as only need one bubble and you have a leak You can buy dichloromethane on eBay in uk A reputable seller such as apc pure will ask for photo id before they send it out to you Sent from my iPhone using...

I make small acrylic tanks and I use Dichloromethane to weld the cast acrylic together As a tip I’ve found easier to have the base inside the walls which makes it easier to get it square For a supplier just google local plastic supplier Ask them if they can supply cast acrylic and can they...

I fill my tanks in the house via my shower valve, it’s on a combi boiler so water is heated as it goes through and not stored in a copper cylinder I just unscrew the shower pipe and attach my hma to it So I have a reel of 6mm pipe I can unroll to any of my tanks (currently 3) The water is...

The seals will break Just think you only have a 2mm join and you only need one air bubble and it’s gone Why not just get a second hand glass tank ? Plenty that size available Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You could strengthen the stand without changing the look Cut plywood etc to make a back and side panels and secure to the frame This will help keep it square and it’ll be better for that Paint the board whatever colour you fancy to match your room Thats what I’d do to stop it twisting and...

It’s not a proper bulkhead just a straight threaded connector siliconed to the glass A Bulkhead has to parts to it that screw together to sandwich the glass If you say what you want to use it for maybe we can give you a solution Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I actually think the first baffle should be an over Reasons 1. It allows the first chamber to be a settlement chamber especially if you use koi brush in it 2. The top of the second chamber catches anything that goes past the brush in chamber 1, being at the top it’s easy to access and...

I would also have another inlet other than just the weir What happens if it blocks ? The height of the baffles coming up from the base determine the minimum water level that the tank can still work at providing you dont just rely on the weir If they only go half way up then you can do a 50%...

Most people who keep large fish have filters like this They work well with them No reason it shouldn’t work in an aquascape If you want to make it even easier to maintain then why not put an overflow in it and have drip system on the tank ? I would use filter foam so it’s easy to take out...

I’m happy with the circulation as you can see all the plants even in the far back corner are moving Most of the plants were added in the last week or so from sales in this forum [emoji106] I took out a big piece or wood that’s now temporarily in with my stingrays So it left a big hole to...

I’m waiting for lights to come on and get bright enough for a video The jets go down the front curved class along the whole length Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes only the front curve has holes in Filter is at the back corner so flow gets stronger as it gets further back So more like a river with flow in one direction Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for that guys It’s only temporary so it’s held it place with hot glue [emoji33] A bit messy held in place with string so I could get it level and hot glue it in place So I went overboard and put a 4mm hole every 25mm so a total of 44 holes was drilled into it And to be honest none...

Hi all I’m putting a spray bar on my trigon 350 it will be situated along the front curved glass Making it from plumbsure 15mm pushfit pipe The pump is an Eheim compact + 3000 Set on its highest at 3000 litres per hour I know the 15mm pipe is too small for the pump but it fits below the...

Can't seem to find any conversion kits listed on eBay :-(

Why are you thinking of using one?

Was looking at making 4ft long 1ft tall 2ft deep subdivided into 4/5 Sealed with G4 Bondaglass G4 Pond Sealer Clear 500g Looking for something to use in the dividers to allow water to glow through, any ideas?

I've spent hours drooling over the ply aquariums people have made and put up videos on YouTube etc Has anyone in the UK built one?

Got z link to it

Try a timber yard, they may be able to cut board to the sizes required then all you have to do is fix it together :-) if your not upto that then look in local paper for odd job man or man with a van loads of adverts here locally by ikea, you buy it the collect & erect

I've replaced the fissedens with java. Yes I'm sure it would be a quicker way if you covered it with moss but I'd try the lazy way first :-)

I will but don't hold your breath as I put fissedens in it and I believe it's very slow Will do another with some java moss and post pics here too

Hi all I just took a plant out of the pot it can in and wondered what I could do with it? I turned the pot upside down and secured the ceramic weight which was in the pot to it with fishing line and a sewing needle now I'm going to put some moss in it and hopefully the moss will cover it, plus...

Re: Goldfish tank Google ADG goldfish tank

£127 omg no wonder they are not in common use :-)

just spoken to owner of our local lizard lounge was says that Habistat make a heat mat that 11 inches square [£17 great size for a small cube] and it should keep an aquarium at a constant temperature :-) BUT he would advise the use of a thermostate [£30] :-(

do vivs have thermometers to control the heat mats? or are they preset like a nano heater?

You can still buy cable tidies

Thinking about it I would even feed the fish and watch them eat to ensure they are well for another couple of hours work a day :-)

I want to do the daily inspections at £50 per hour

I've have drilled tanks in my fish house, I've drilled Loads for people. I use tank connectors from a plumbers merchants. You simply but you clear pipes over them, if your going to use a canister filter then there's no problem taking off the pipes to clean them, if you were thinking of using a...

Superfish have them too I think MA have them as an own brand

Re: Goldfish tank oportunity Don't want to upset you but George has a lot more years in him yet :-)

My son has a gecko who is getting on a bit and he has a heat mate under the 2ft tank, I'll get it all back when the gecko has gone and give it a try, no idea when :-) I was also wondering if I could use a reptile hear mate under a few small container for betta's has anyone done this?

Which moss are you going to use?

this looks like a completely new tank now but i thought there were to be plants growing out of it?

nice idea, got any pics of it finished and covered with moss
