    box filter

    Help can someone tell me what the best thing would be to hold polythene air tight so the water runs down the outside of the polythene having a problem it seems to quietly seep out down the inside and not through to the pond could i just use water proof selant I cut the hard plastic container length out the i want water to go down the falls. but can't seem to get it water tight so it all goes back into the pond. Does anyone know what i could use thanks. the ponds alright it has 1800lph with fountain, I'm going to bring the height down of the fall as well .so it has more pressure. so the hose coming out from the pump is running into the filter box aat the top. Any body any ideas. Thanks

  11. Help please Sorry not to bright 60cm H Could someone tell me how you workout the volume of water in a 6 sided tank. the measurements are 60cm long back, sides 25cm, sides going into the front glass 15cm, then 38cm across the front. Thanks
  12. Hi does anyone know an easy way of parting whiteworms from dirt mix for fish. Thanks
  13. They lived in cold water tank for over 2 years and as i said even bred so they can but maybe your area gets a lot colder there temperature didn't show on the thermometer. And i am not lying either.
  14. They will do fine in a cold water tank just make sure you climatise them, I have had Bristlenose pair breed in the cold water tank with swordtails & guppies as well spawn, and Albino corys there was no heater at all, But make sure you do your water changes and condition water, and all should go well. Driftwood and Plants.
  15. Hi everyone I have 7 little Newts hatched they cute little things but i suppose the hard part is probably getting through the first few months till they morph, Is there anything else i should be doing with them apart form feeding them brineshrimp and microworms and daily water changes, have 3 more to hatch hopefully. Found a turkey baster for syphoning and replacing water.. and for feeding Brine shrimp.. Thanks Dianne
  16. Hi, Not a begginner but are bristlenoses alright in Discus tank, have a couple of YoYo loaches. What else would be alright Thanks
  17. Hi Could someone tell me what sort of paint I can use on my polystyrene Background for Terrarium, Have made one before but can't remember what sort. Thanks
  18. Hi i would like to identify the orange cichlids are if someone can help And the 2 blue ones that are above the driftwood, and the one blue one below driftwood facing out to the left Any help would be appreciated Thanks Dianne
  19. Hi can someone recognise what the orange fish are in this photo 765 and the blue ones in this photo.
  20. Hi i'm going to paint the background for newts What is wetasil is there another name for it thanks. Djay
  21. Hi there, apparently the japanese firebellied Newt has rougher skin and tail is sharply pointed and has more prominent bumps at the back of the head each side. The Chinese has a more rounded tail, than sharp hope this was of some help.
  22. Hi Again do i need to wash it of after its painted and dryed, i thought i might sprinkle sand over it after the paint when still wet. thanks djay
  23. Hi there, this is new to me but thinking of making a backing for my Newt terrarium 60cm W x 30cm D x 60cm H. Can you use just the normal polystyrene like that you'd put under your fish tank. of course thicker though. The epoxy resin does that seal the polystyrene, so it would be safe for habitants. Could you use any sort of sand, and if so i suppose nothing would be stopping you from doing a few coats of resin then sand, and sand in different places to make a differnt shade. Would that work. Main thing is i would not want to kill the little guy. If Alright like that you could make a bottom so it has an island with a mott around it of water any thoughts Thanks
