Hello,

I am wanting to start my own fish room at home. The problem is i can't find anyone that sell plain glass tanks and are willing to drill hole in them. I want glass tanks similar to what they use in maidenhead aquatic stores! I think they are roughly 18x12x12.

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance

Hey guys

i am looking into getting a co2 system for my tanks because i think the benefits would be awesome. But they are quite pricey in store! So has anyone just gone out and brought a canister of co2 and some tubing etc? If so and i know this sounds dumb but can it be any types of co2 canister etc?

thanks
Paul

The P.H from the water i took out yesterday was still 7.5 so it has to be the gravel! thanks for your help, fingers crossed it goes ok!

Hiya it is on the site but looking at the ones that have under natural gravel it is either the Artic gravel or the coral and i got a bad feeling its the coral gravel! The bag doesnt state what it is! Do you think that i should replace its will a sand to be safe?

Paul

Thanks for the reply! I have just taken a glass and filled it with water and will let that stand! Regards to the gravel the bag just say "Unipac Pet Gravel" but i said to the shop what use it was for and they said it would be fine!

Hey guys

I was hoping someone could help me! i am starting up a planted tropical tank. I measured my P.H and it is reading 8.2 which is high for what i am wanting to keep! I was going to get some R.O water to dilute it but out of interest i tested the water from the tap i got my water from ( i decholrinate it) The reading came back saying about 7.5 which is ideal P.H for the fish i want. So What in my tank could be affecting the P.H, i am starting to think the gravel the fish shop sold me might be buffering it up! The only other items in the tank are the heater and a piece of bogwood?! Any ideas?
I also want to know if it is worth reducing the P.H before the cycle gets going?

Thanks
Paul

Hi gang, i got an old orca nano that is sitting in my garage doing nothing do you think i could turn it into a sump for my aquareef 200? I was thinking i could put miracle mud/refugium in the main section?!
