    Finally settled on a 2 tank set up! The goldfish have been upgraded to a 180 litre and a new addition purchased (hopefully getting 1/2 hillstream loaches for that as well). That meant we could combine the two tropical tanks into the now vacated 90 litre! All seem happy! And the Comets have...

    Hi, we are wanting to replace our 30l Biorb (as it is not a very good aquarium at all - did get us started with fish keeping though so can't complain about it too much:s) and were wondering if anyone in the South West of the UK had a 30-40 litre tank for sale? Cheers!
