someone's not sharing the fruity disco biscuits i think

any idea why they only made it 300mm deep? i saw a 4m tank last night, it was massive.

i think it'll be fine being steel.

nice thanks for sharing.

they responded to me, will be interesting to see if any changes are made.

great idea, i have suggested it.

what's the saying? there are three types of lies, lies, damned lies and statistics.

hi & welcome.

not corrupt, just soft. our justice system cares about the criminal and has very little care for the victims.

have you been feeding more and still no improvement?

it should be very quiet. Did you buy it new? i have an old one that gets noisy but it quietens down when i purge the air by opening the bleed cap.

i would use perspex or some sort of plastic sheet if you can get some at a price you like as it will be easier to cut/shape and won't break. will also be a lot easier to rig up some suction cups.

my olds have a fire with wetback and they also had the issue of it heating only half the house. They put in a fan above the lounge/hallway door which they turn on to expel the hot air down the other end of the house, it works very well.

i have always wondered one thing about the constant water changes. How effective are they if you don't actually remove water before replacing it? Normal process is to remove say 30% of the water and replace it which would make a large difference but with a constant water change it must only dilute it slightly. Are there any actual facts on how effective it is?

how many will you want to have total?

:sml1:

i never did that at all. you should be feeding plenty and if you don't have snails now i would introduce ramshorns as the clowns will easily keep them at bay. i never had any issues on the three years or so i kept mine, i would recommend NLS cichlid formula as a food for them and also feed blood worms once a week.

clowns are commonly kept with africans world wide, I have seen many members of various international forums doing it. I did it and they did very well, up to you i think.

i have a couple of spare tanks and bubble filters if you need them

it looks to me like it would be plenty. that tank will only be around 500L

i have had canisters off over night or more due to power outages or just forgetting to plug the filter back in and never had an issue. I also completely wash out my filters when i clean them which is a big "no no" in some eyes but again, never had any issues doing it.

i have a 2.0x0.45x0.45 and it is great for the tropheus and other tangs. It won't be any good for fronts or maybe adult empress but sweet for any african up to 8 inches i think.

i have found the aqua one CF's to be very quiet when new, they tend to get louder as they wear the impellor. I replaced an impellor in an old CF and it was very quiet again. As long as you prime them properly they are very quiet.

i bet they say it will be quicker and easier to replace the panel.

that looks great
