lol beave we run on 220V i found all the filters you spoke of for sale, but others than submersible foam ones (20-30€) i only found cannister ones at over 70€, which is very inconsistent with prices i see on US online retailers :? i think te prices are high mostly because petstores around...

i've been thinking about this for a while, doesn't music (not necessarily loud) disturb the fish? i recently bought a 2.1 sound system and i think the basses might harm? the fish...what do you think? oh, and nice tank btw :D

ok, turns out that aquapor doesn't sell stuff to general public, only stores... i have more doubts about filters, besides the HOB ones, with all the drawers and stuff, and the cannister ones, i saw one, it's submersible and only has a sponge inside (and a water suction thing ) are those any good?

edit : they have an english version of the page: http://www.aquapor.pt/biospace.htm http://www.aquapor.pt/aquamatic.htm for your reading convenience :wink:

ok, i found a company that (i think) sells stuff online or mail order, i emailed them for infos. they have this filter that i'm guessing it uses those porous pebbles you're talking about and also has a sponge compartment (for AC i think), the page is in portuguese but it's mostly technical info...

hmm, cool nice infos, thanx :) Fishyfanatic : nice to know about carbon, less expense (i'm a cheap bastard :oops: ) hmm, by turnovers you mean that the filter "filters" a certain ammount of water per unit of time, that should be 10 times the capacity of the tank? that's 10 times ALL the...

ok, i've gone through most of LFS around, i've come up with some starter kits, but they're all kinda lame, they cost about more 20-30€ than the equal capacity tank and only offer some light and/or air pump, pack of fish food, overall, i think i'd be better off buying piece by piece.. i saw a...

great tank man, i'm stoked! :scatter: :scatter:

wow, thanks for all the quick help :D i'm still trying to read the most i can before i buy actual stuff, i'm thinking of buying some kind of kit that includes some hardware with the tank, gonna browse some general stores (dunno the actual word, it's a big big supermarket) and see what i can...

cool, i guess i'll probably go with guppies, i don't wanna buy a big aquarium for now, 20 gal sounds nice :) how many guppies do you think i can fit in a 20 gal tank, maximum? i'd like to start with only 2 or 3 to get used to, and keeping their offspring, is it a good strategy? thanx for...

first of all, hi there people from the forum! i've been reading stuff about fish on your forum and some other places, and i fount this particular place very good :wink: at first i was considering having some aquarium type animal, so that i could have it in my room without any special smells...
