Hi all, I have had my tank for over 2 1/2 years now, and over the last 6 months I have lost a little bit on interest, still kept it clean etc but it was getting a bit bare, plants starting to die of etc, so this weekend I took everything out and had a good hoover of the gravel and went to invest...

It's a 20 gallon tank, I've had both Plecs for a while now and don't seem to have any problems with the amount of waste, I think it helps having a filter that is for a 40 gallon tank so I'm way over budget on the filtration. Small school of corries make work well, I have had Dwarf Gouramis in...

Here's a pic from the end of the tank looking in :) Want to replace the heater with one of the new Fluval style heaters and keep the one in their now as a spare.

Oh really itisn't up on Youtube but I could put it n there or email it to you? I got the driftwood from the local Pets at Home, think it cost £6 got lucky because I really like the shape of the bit in the middle, good centre piece.

If i;m honest with you I have no idea what the plants are, I just picked what I liked the look of :) Thanks for the idea's I will have a look online and see what ones I like the look of.

Thanks I'm pretty pleased with it now :) No I haven't checked the stock amount, I probably should do. I did get 2 more zebras a while back but they two new ones lasted about a week, never understood why cos the other two have been in there a long while, i would love more of them as I really like...

I had one Tetra who was really bad loss of colour and looked like it was falling apart for a want for a better phrase, a couple of the other neons have white marks on the bottoms of the tails, the really ill one has now gone but I fear some of the others will go the same way, is there any...

HI Guys, I'm having issue's with my outlet nozzle on the external filter, the issue is it keeps falling off leaving the hose just pumping the water down towards the bottom of the tank. I have ordered a new set of hose adapters to try and fix the issue. My question is I have been told the I need...

Thanks mate, I'll start looking into replacing them.

Hi guys, I have had my tank going for just over a year now and re planted a few weeks ago and they don't seem to be doing to well so far, I have added a CO2 kit and also add liquid plant food. I have read that th lights need to be changed yearly? I have a Fluval Roma 90 tank and the lights I...

Thanks for the replies guys. I can get the Tetra 250ml one on next day delivery from Amazon at £10 so think that will do.

I have just replanted my tank so want to get some liquid plant fertiliser (also going for a CO2 system) I have iced the Nutrafin Plant Grow before but also seen the Tetra Plantamin. Which one is best or are they pretty much the same thing? Or any others you might suggest? Thanks in advance Sam.

Hi mate, thanks but what I meant was a CO2 kit like this: Fluval CO2 Kit 20g Pressurised: Amazon.co.uk: Pet Supplies This doesn't look very good some wanted some other suggestions of other types? Regards Sam.

Hi guys, I had a quick search but couldn't find a lot so thought I'd just ask the question. Yesterday I replanted my Fluval Roma 90 tank so now want to get a CO2 kit to help them grow and live longer than previous attempts. Can anyone suggest a good starter kit to try? Thanks in advance Regards...
