    Fresh Start

    I agree with HUKIT. You are going to have big trouble later with this stocking list. My experience is that the moori is bullying the frontosa, when it gets a bit more mature, I had to say goodbye to my frontosas in the past for that reason. Not to mention both cichlid should be kept in a bigger...

    fish keep dying?!?!

    Sorry if you feel offended by my comment. The reason I am saying this is just because that is my experience. Mollies for instance are hybrid fish and very sensitive for stress, easily attract with diseases, and very often poor quality inbreeds therefore they have short life span. Ideal water...

    fish keep dying?!?!

    I don’t think it is anything to do with the water changes though I would use some antichlor product on the top when I do the water changes. You said it was overstocked to the start with. What kind and how many fish are left? Fry might have been eaten by the adults. That happens quite often in a...

    Carey's LAST Build- 125g Reef

    Is it last 5 times longer? If so then you must be right, but this is not my experience. Currently I don't have any special plants in my tank and if I would be so serious about the biotope what I have I hardly would have any plants, so I am more like being nosy on this. lol.

    Carey's LAST Build- 125g Reef

    Carey, I am just wandering what is the difference between the high end brand bulb and the less fancy named, but with the same light parameters. What I found after a good research for fluorescent tubes afew years back that sometimes a non branded ones have better light spectrum then the most...

    Fresh Start

    I am afraid you will have to search hard for the red colour in Lake Tanganyika. With the size of your tank your choices are limited. The only fish I have found is the Petrochromis sp. "Red - Bulu Point" and some Moori but those not suitable for your tank size. So your choice of Malawi in this...

    Are older tanks made with thicker glass? (75 gallon)

    They usually had ticker glass as they had different structure. Glass was probably different type as well.

    Fresh Start

    List 2 if you ask me as those are mostly from Lake Tanganyika lol My advice would be keep fish from either from Lake Malawi of Lake Tanganyika. The reason is their needs are a bit different. Also I wouldn’t have the Plecostomus if you are having SA Chiclids there are is a native catfish you...

    DIY Driftwood

    I have done it. First of all you have to use completely dry wood. Remove all the skin and put it in a bucket/ old unused tank add some rock on the top to keep the wood under the water and fill it up with hot water. Hot water will speed up the process. Change the water 1-2 times a day. Use hot...

    Ideas for soon to be build thread

    354l is a nice size Aquarium will be a big difference after those goldfish :) Where about are you in England? I know a breeder who is delivering fish like once a month when he gets enough order. He is doing trips from Manchester London via Birmingham. The reason I am saying this he has better...

    Carey's LAST Build- 125g Reef

    As for the corner of the tank I would glue a peace of glass to that corner fro inside so it makes it strong. If it is in the back then it won't be visible anyway Good luck

    The good old fashion way

    I wouldn't say don't use new technologies but there is a way without most of it. Testing the water can be beneficial but relay only just the technology given in your local LFS is not the way forward. My point is You can live without most of the chemicals super fancy filters or testing kits...

    Cleaning Live Rock

    I am not a salt water specialist, but I read somewhere that you can do your live rock at home DIY and all you need to do is to seed it with real one. Based on that idea if there is any life in your rock you are fine, as the life will spread to the dead area sooner or later again

    The good old fashion way

    We are in a world where everything is automated, loaded with technology or digitalised. Even in an aquarium we use 5-6 level filters all sort of water condition checking systems, digital thermometers etc, so the question is if I have to go for all this?Well I have an opinion about this, but the...

    Background on tank or no?

    Actually it is true. Due to similar law it is illegal to sell fish bowls in Hungary so Sweden is not the only one.

    Upgrading lights

    Search for LED diodes. I only have UK sources so fare and have a set of link at home I can send it to you, but most of the stuff comes from Taiwan anyway so that is closer to you. There is no optimal set fare as I concern, as it all depends what you want. I found that probably a combination of...
