I bought a Caribbean feather duster yesterday and placed it in the tank. The guy at the lfs told me to slightly cover it's tube with sand and that'll be that. I checked the tank this morning and the worm seems to have left the tube and moved to an area of higher flow. From what I've read...

Hey guys! I'm looking on adding a sump to my 15gal tank. I've seen a load of different plans online but they all seem rather complicated. I'd like it to have space to add a skimmer at a later date but the basics will do for now. What type of sump would you recommend i use?

My friend just gave me a chunk of rock covered in Montipora encrusting out of his QT tank. He placed it high up in my tank because my lighting isn't a strong as his (mines a Wavepoint 24" 20w blue&white) I'm just wondering if my light can support this? And do I need any supplements. He gave...

Hey guys, I've recently added an orange spotted goby to my tank (already have 2 occ clowns), and with it, a condensation tray to prevent it jumping out (it's made several attempts already -_-) I have my tank at a steady 77, but since adding the tray it's been climbing steadily and now it's...

Hey guys! I'm getting some fairly substantial evaporation on my 15gal tank. I have to top up around 3-5 gallons a week. And on a small tank, that's a huge amount. I'm wondering if it will be worthwhile to add a condensation tray? Or maybe a glass lid? I've heard bad things about lids on...

Just set up a new 15gal fowlr tank and I was wondering if I can add fish straight away? The sand isn't live but the 15lbs of rock I have were taken from a mature setup at my lfs. The temp is stable and I have all the equipment and test kits I need to run the tank, plus another 13gals of...

Hey guys! My cousin is givin up on his tanks (15 gal and 40gal) and is giving them to me, which my gf is super happy about :P Anyways, the 40gal is stocked with 2 tiger oscars, 2 piranha and a pleco (assuming common). I have no experience with any of these fish. Help?!

Hey guys, I'm finally starting to buy the equipment for my 15 gal nano reef build. I've been looking at lights and a friend showed me these; http://www.allpondsolutions.co.uk/aquarium-1/aquarium-lighting/aquarium-t5-lighting/black-t5-fish-tank-lights-four-bulbs.html And I was wondering if...

http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/sera-external-filter-250uv/1024049931 I've reserved the right to buy this on Saturday from the seller. I've been looking for a canister for a while and this popped up. So, deal or no deal?

After looking at dozens of angels in pets stores around me I have yet to see one that looks like mine. So I hopped online and did a quick search and found out that I may have a "Threadfin" angel? Is this a rare genetic morph or is it something that's so common nobody bothers to call em that?

I've recently set up a mini shrimp tank (will be moved to a 30gal in few months) I wanna make sure they're gonna have the best they can while I'm setting up their new home. I already feed them fresh veggies, but I wanna try brand name shrimp foods. So which are the best to ensure healthy...

Hey guys! I'm having a problem that I'd never thought I'd have in the UK. One of my tanks will not cool down! The temp sits at 27-28°C morning and night, I've tried taking the hood off but my cats then thought it was a filtered water bowl -_- It's not currently stocked as I need to know if...

Hey guys! A friend basically dumped his featherfin on me last week as he knew I was getting a large tank this summer. But my 150gal an 100gal plans have feel through (sellers sold to other people) He's currently in my understocked 25gal with 7 assorted tetra. I need to know the best tank...

Hey guys! I'm looking for some low light plants for my new shrimp tank. I'm looking for some Anubias variants and whatever else you have ^_^ I'm in the UK too, so that may be an issue D: Thanks!

Hey guys! I've finally decided to set up a shrimp tank, after months of looking at the awesome things people can do with such a small space, I wanted in! The tank is an Aquastart 320, with a PL11w bulb (not the best, I know!) I'm just looking for some advise on the substrate and plants I can...

Hey guys, I've been reading into White Clouds after somebody recommended them for my 28 litre tank. But I've read they need a bigger tank. I have a spare 17gal tank and I wanna set up my first biotope tank. I know they are river fish, so a shallow sandy bottom and rocks are essential along...

Ok guys, I've had this tank for over a year now and I figured I should finally set it up! Now I know with the size of the tank that my options will be limited but I want to explore the nano tank side of fish keeping before I set up my 75gal in a few months time. So, besides the traditional...

Hey all. I'm looking for different kinds of mosses. I don't really mind what type it is I just need some pretty quickly for some new small shrimp I have. Im in the UK, so I'd prefer to buy from someone based here if possible! Thanks

Hey all. Well today is a sad day, my HG "Spot" died today. I had added shrimp to the tank earlier in the day (from a user on here so I know no illness came with them) and after an hour of them being there Spot was laying in the substrate dead. While I was intro-ing the new shrimp I did spill...

Ok so I got home from work today to find my mum had bought 3 guppies for my new tank. It's 28 litres and it has a cycled filter in there so I'm not worrying about that yet. Now how overstocked am I? I think they are fancies, I'll have to grab a pic soon but Ermmm help??

Hello all! So I got a nice new aquastart 320 as a gift from my Gf this weekend I decided to log the journey a new tank takes from the store to the finished article. Of course I'll be open to any suggestions you folk may have and I'll be posting regular updates. Oooooh and before I forget...

Alright everyone, was bored with the layout of my tank so I decided to challenge myself to rescape my tank in 5 mins with the lights off. I gotta say it was a bit of a strange experience not knowing exactly where I'm putting items lol. Well here's the before An I will post an after shot...

Hey guys :) Wondering if anyone can help me find a place that stocks RCS in the UK, I don't mind paying for shipping etc from UK sellers. Thanks

Looking to buy 6 or 7 red cherry shrimp from a UK based seller. Prices can be discussed but I want a fair price, thanks!

Hey all, I recently bought a mini sponge filter to fit in the 15litre cherry shrimp jar I'm planning. The spout seems to narrow as it goes down so while the filter gets jammed half way down. Anyway I wondered if I could just shave away till it fit? Or are they filled with shot which would leak...
