As of last week i dicided to install a second filter. My water never seemed to be that crystall clear i was looking for, and was always made up of a suspension of various bits and pieces, god knows where they came from. So i bought myself a New external canister filter. I decided on the...

Ok i wasnt happy with the "hang on back" filter. So i decided to go withthe TetraTec EX700. Im happy with it also ;) my waters now crystal clear! Nice :D as it used to be a little murky and bitty. The filter VERY easy to install and set up, as well as being super quiet while it circulates my...

thanks i'll take a read on the AC70 and post back :) Ant

I have a 33g / 120lt tank (Jewel Vision 120) and want to upgrade to an external filter system, for various reasons. I was looking at the "TetraTec EX external filters" range. Thinking the 600 model as i have a 120lt tank. My question is, has anyone got first hand experience with this range of...

The red is the wall behind the tank :D i just painted my room and thought red would be a warmer colour over the winter months lol infact i was after some black card to stick on the back of the tank to highlight the plants. But i hear whatbeing said :) i kind like the red back also, its the first...

heres a new shot of my tank at about 4 or 5 weeks from planting. It's coming along :) I thought i'd add a old photo of the tank when it was newly set up, as a contrast shot.

Your tank has come along great and is looking real good :) just a tip though, (speeking from experience with my plants) the feathery looking plant you have in the back right of your tank. I planted mine also quite tightly as you have. About a week later the bottom leaves started to die off due...

oooo :D nice, deficiency of some kind? if not, whatever, still looks gorgeous ;) thanks for the show n pics :) Ant

yea heres a few more . . . .. check back up at the first post, youcan see a few shots in a week by week sequence . Ant

Hi guys, i need help! i been noticing this over a period of about a week now. Im guessing that the loach either has a medical problem or that hes rubbing himself against rough surfaces and scratching himself :( A couple of my loach have this now, although there hasn't been any odd behavior...

Just a few new photos after i had changed the bulbs. I took out the front tube, which was a jewel "WarmLite" hence why my first bunch on photos were a bit on the orange side of things lol :D I removed it and replaced it with a "PowerGlo". I like the change, its more a natural daylight effect...

I'd love a few awsome looking snails, mystery, apple ect . . . im more than willing to take a few off your hands if you need to rid yourself of a few ;) I seen some beautiful pictures in the forums of the most awsome looking snails. especially those little red ones, although i think i read...

thanks for your help all ;) im going to keep them as i think my shrimp, flying fox and loach to keep there food source in short supply, so numbers shouldnt go crazy, i have no algae for them to grave on yet due to lots of plants. For the moment everythings just right ;) ant

which piece of wood did u mean? i got a couple of plants on the wood. The left on is the banana plant. the one on the left peice is "Vallisneria torta" (twisted Vallis). Ant

And heres a few more photos after a tidy up and the addition of a few things :) ant

i think i'll keep them. I'd feel bad now they set up home and have already had a few young, if i got rid. I just bought 2 flying fox and 5 shrimp. so the snails shouldnt have massess to much on, seens i already have 1 synodontis and 6 kuhli loach, which tend to mop up the left overs also...

thanks guys :) i kinda like them actually. But now i know they can reproduce rapidly i may think about getting a couple of loaches to help lower the numbers when the time comes. thanks agin ;) Ant
