Hi all, I’m on my third Twinstar diffuser and the suction cup is now useless. Unfortunately the new diffusers don’t actually include a new suction cup, so now my diffuser is just flapping all over the place. Anyone know where I can get one that’ll fit? I have the M5 model Twinstar. Thanks

Hi all, I keep seeing small clusters of these bugs at the water line. They're tiny, line 1mm in length. I squash them and remove them from the glass, literally 2 minutes later there's more. Been going on for about a week I think. They also seen to be able to stand on the water surface and also...

Hi all, I’m considering a 40cm cube. Does anyone know what the silicone work is like on these aquariums? Is it as good as ADA? I can’t seem to find any user examples online. Here’s a link...

Hi, I was about to buy an optiwhite 40x40x40cm from The Green Machine, but they told me they don't do them anymore! Where can I buy one with excellent silicone work like ADA? There was another site that used to do them in the U.K. But that seems to have disappeared too.

Hi all, Do I need an active substrate (like Flora base) for a low tech non-CO2 tank, with only mosses and anabius petite or can I just use plain sand? And if I use sand should I put anything under it? Will house dwarf shrimp and one snail.

Hi guys, I have a Tetratec check valve (plasticy type), on my CO2 setup, just before it goes into the UP! Atomizer. The tube keeps popping off the check valve, and the water backflows out of the tank all over the inside of my cabinet, and over the floor. It's really doing my head in, I have...

Hi all :D I need some better scissors. I'm using JBL Inox tweezers and scissors, the tweezers are great I find, but the scissors are heavy, and have a rounded tip at the end of the blades, which I find doesn't work too well when trying to get in for precise cuts. I'd like some which are more...

Hi all :) Just wondering what forums & how many people are registered to, in the subject of aquascaping/fishkeeping. I often google stuff and end up reading on forums overseas and am surprised how many users use multiple forums for the same topics etc. I'm registered to 1. here 2. Aquatic...

Hi, I have a spare 12x8x8" clearseal, I'd like to turn it into as simple and low maint a shrimp tank as possible. Can anyone recommend any good journals on here or elsewhere. I have searched a lot but to no avail. Or any tips will be much appreciated. I was thinking just get a light and small...

My tank is normally and should be 24 degrees C. Right now (at night), it is 27.5. My room is very hot and even with windows wide open and a fan on, holds onto heat very well. My question is, how can I cool the aquarium down? A water change is only very temporary in this heat. I was thinkng...

Hi guys, Quick question, with high light and CO2 is it normal to have bubbles forming from photosynthesis on light sand? This is happening at the front of my tank, the sand is very light in colour also, and the tank is only 30cm deep. Is this a problem? Start of BGA or something else??

Anybody got this DVD? http://www.aquatic-experts.com/freshwater_natural_aquarium_documentary.html Any good? It's certainly expensive, but I'd like to see it, I wonder how long the footage is. Sorry if this is a repost!!

I am supposed to be in the first day of my 3 day blackout due to my BGA problem, but I don't know how to wrap up the tank! I have covered all the glass sides with thick black card, but how do I do the top? I tried draping towels over it but they dipped in the middle and got soaking wet! Also I...

I have no algae problems any more, the only thing that I cannot control is this: The small hole you see is hrere I put the food for the fish about an hour ago :shock: Raising my lily pipe is not an option as this tank is in my bedroom and I would not be able to sleep with the noise...
