I used to run Hydor external heaters, could get them here in NZ. They stopped selling them because the 300's had an over heating problem, or so i was told. I would say they have probably fixed that problem by now, it was about 10 years ago. I never had any problem with my 300w, good heater and does take the gear out of the tank.

Hey all , I'm new to Tropheus :love: , and I've been doing a bit of reading on the net about feeding them. I've come across heaps of conflicting info :dunno: , as you do with the web. I found this page, it was a really good read :cofn: , check it out.... http://www.newlife.ipbhost.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=328

True, you do get freezing fingers.

If you have smaller fish :smln: once ox heart is frozen you can use a cheese grater on it !drool: that's what i used to do :sage: Variety is the key. :thup:

My brother kept fish for years, never using any products at water change , all good no losses. I myself use prime, i think its not worth the risk :sage: , especially if they change the amount of chlorine added to town supply. Sorry for your loss , bummer you forgot :facepalm: , maybe smaller water changes are ok(still not worth the risk) without using, just not larger ones. Does sound a bit strange that this happend though :-?

Hagen Power glo bring out the colours of africans nicely, not as white/yellow looking as daylight, also i have seen cheaper tropical tubes that look like they would be around the same colour.

Yep durso standpipe will fix this prob for sure, great invention, very easy to make :thup:

Great, thanks for the replies. I would'nt have thought the pet shop would sell dodgy gravel, cheers :thup:

Hey all , I was cleaning the glass on my tank today, and noticed that the gravel sticks to my magnetic cleaner . This must mean that it contains some metal yea :dunno: . I cant seem to find much on the net about this, it is a proper aquarium gravel from a pet shop, white with black specs. Does anyone know if this will be a problem to my plants and inhabitants they all seem ok at the mo? cheers. 8)

Hmm i think that was my prob too, to many fert balls, finally removed alot of them and am starting to get my thread algae under control -
Sweet, that sounds good, I def reccomend t5 over t8, but thats just down to personal preference and $ as well i guess. I saw an arcadia twin t5 retro unit at hollywood, over $300 It will be good when that kind of gear becomes more popular, maybe it might come down in price :lol: My mate lives in tha phillipines and hes always E-mailing and going on about how cheap fish keeping gear is :roll: Any ways, T5s if you can afford

Yea thats wat i mean, with T5 ballast.

Not DE only single end, i asked at two different s.o.g.

You could try T5 24 watt instead of T8, way higher output

Yep you can, they might need to order them though. if you have a Kh and Ph test kit, you can use this chart for Co2 http://www.aquatic-plants.org/articles/khph_table/khph_table.html

I have used it in aquariums, with no ill effect. It would prob be better to use silicone, but i wanted a quick fix and didint want to wait for it to cure :lol:
