OK cool, will get started on it next week i think!

Thanks... I've seen some recommendations online to use some aquarium salt whilst soaking, is that something I should be looking at considering it's for a FW tank?

OK that's great, thanks jcolon... Don't have a dishwasher at home but there's one here at work... might commandeer that for an afternoon!

Great, thanks. I think it might need treating, got it from a big pet department store and they recommeneded it, it's a bit "barky" so I think it will need it. Do you get much tannin leach from yours after bleaching? I don't really want a blackwater look, I just love the look of the natural...

Hi, I'm starting a new FW tank and have bought 3 nice pieces of bogwood as the centrepiece. I've never used it before and know I need to cure it first, but have some questions.... Do I need to use dechorinator with the water? Is boiling necessary? (I've heard it really stinks and I don't...

wont be more than 1 wk max i'd say... is that your only female? ive got 2 in my tank with a male (thanks lfs...), second brood still has 5 alive, 3 looking like they'll make it for sure. are you using a breeding net or anything? i didnt bother, free food for the others if they want it. if you...

Hello felybee!

Thanks both of u... She's always had mottling but it just looks darker for some reason.

I would say so, but I'm new to all this. Can anyone confirm for me? If so, what shall I do? Think she might be pregnant again too....

Biggest private aquarium on our side of the pond, spotted it whilst I was "working" today..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-12820354

Ok cool I'll turn it down a bit cheers

Yanks, septics, there's lots of names we have for you guys, but i thought americanos would be unoffensive enough to get a response ;) Thanks for the advice guys. Up to this point I have simply been going on my lfs's advice - they advised me on the platys so I went with that. This is my first...

Evening all (afternoon for all you americanos).... I want to get some neons for my tank. It's a small tank (26l sorry not sure gallons maybe 7-8ish?) and I currently have 3 platys and 2 dwarf peppered corys. I've heard that some don't like the water as warm as it is (26c). Is there more than...

Evening all!

Haha I think I'll have to wait til I'm out of this flat, it'd probably end up downstairs...

Thanks, good advice. Been chatting to a friend here at work too and I think I might keep my eyes peeled for a 90l nano, just so it all looks a bit tidier with everything partitioned at the back. I don't really want a massive tank, and I will only have prob 3-4 fish max. Nothing big, couple of...

Ok much appreciated. They're about £400 new over here! I would be planning a reef tank, taking it very slowly though. Maybe if that sounds expensive I might leave it and keep my eyes open for another. The bloke is quite a way away and he doesn't have any pics.

I have just seen a 3ft juwel tank in the local free ads with cabinet, in black (which is what i wanted) for £60 (bout $100 for all you colonists), lights heater inc but for tropical water so everything needs to be bought; but just wanted to get advice on whether that sounds like a decent price...

Cool thanks, I'll look it up

Sorry to hear your platy didn't make it dude.

Small world! Yeah defo best site I've found for advice. Much better quality of advice, esp compared to my lfs.... Where abouts are u then? Can you Recommend any decent stores round this neck of the woods?

Hiya, i'm from Maidstone, Kent. We could do with more stuff on here for us, a lot of it is very much tailored to USA... There must be more Uk'ers on here too....

It's defo a male...

That's a male I think? The lower fin is a bit stick shaped, on the female its more fan shaped like the other fins on them. Sorry not sure of the proper fin names only know bout this cos my platy was recently knocked up!

Yeah i can imagine its quite tough to catch them at the right time, don't think I missed it by much!
