Well I'm not a new arrival, but it's definitely been a while since I was last here ;/ Things just got too hectic (changed jobs etc), but I'm back now...for 2 days...then overseas holiday :) Hopefully I'll have time in the new year to catch up with everything I've missed! EDIT: and with true...

Here's my problem...I want to set up a very simple looking, single species tank. I have a 29g that I have dedicated to the cause. I spraypainted the back and sides black, and have got a very nice big piece of mopani wood in it. I want the whole focus of the tank to be on the fish (a school of...

Hey all... Just got a 65g - it's so huge! (My other tanks are 24g and 29g, so to me a 65 is massive...) I have tons of questions about it, thought I should put them all in one thread... Just to note, I live in South Africa so a lot of the products you guys use and recommend are not available...

Hey all... I am giving my 24g tank to a friend of mine, and he is buying me a 65g in return. Sweet deal me thinks. The 24g is running an UGF, 40W lighting etc. I am giving him all the equipment. I want to keep my fish, so I need to transfer them to the 65g. Fish are: clown loach, SAE, two dwarf...

Hey all I am getting a 65g next week...the tank is a little shorter than 48", so I would be forced to get normal 36" flourescent bulbs. The only 36" bulbs/ballasts I can get max at 30W, so I would have to get four to attain my 2wpg mark. I have read about PC lighting, but still don't quite...

I am busy settting up my new 29g tank...I am going for the nature aquarium look, with black background, single large piece of driftwood, and some nice green plants. I want to keep a large number of one type of fish, and I want them to school/shoal. I decided on harlequins, but I would like to...

I have had a 29g tank sitting empty in my lounge for ages. Yesterday I sprayed the back and sides black, looks really nice. I went to the lfs and bought epoxy coated black gravel and put that in as well. I have a huge piece of mopane wood from namibia, shaped like a crescent moon. It takes up...

Hi I need a little help with a nature aquarium I am trying to put together. I live in South Africa, and I'm having problems getting the equipment and substrate I need. I am still a novice with aquariums, I have only ever had one 24g tank. I have now got another tank, its 35x13x15 inches, about...

Hi all I have got an empty 29g that I want to build up. I am planning on a medium light tank with some easy to grow plants - I haven't had much experience with plants yet. I'll probably have a clown loach, blue gourami's, maybe tiger barbs or neons etc. The first question I have is what...

Hi guys I have a 100 litre tank, I think thats about 25g or so. I've got two dwarf gourami's, a red wagtail platy, a guppy, a siamese algae eater and a clown loach. I want to add more pairs of fish ie another platy and another loach. I also want to add more plants (I mostly have floating...
