very small with a flame red/orange stripe along its flanks.

variety - is it a new one? ...

Airpump & filter vs power filter
Thu, 31 Jul 2008 08:02:29 -0700 (PDT)
In my local store I was trying to work out costs for an airpump (Tetra
APS50) and undergravel filter, airline, connectors, valves, etc.
The saleman suggested that for my small tank (16"x8"x8") it might be
better to opt for an internal power filter such as the Interpet PF1,
which would work out cheaper, save spac ...

Failed light uinit on Rio 180
Thu, 31 Jul 2008 16:00:36 +0100
I need to buy a new lighting unit for my RIO 180. Bummer as I do not have
the receipt and it is only about 15 months into a 24 month warranty!
I see that there are T5 units now, although they are more expensive as you
also have to buy the dearer tubes as well.
Is it worth going down that route? I grow plants ...

Air Pumps
Sat, 26 Jul 2008 13:44:11 -0700 (PDT)
Two questions regarding air pumps:-
I notice that some older books mention diaphragm air pumps can be
noisy and that rotary/piston air pumps are much quieter. I would have
thought that modern diaphragm air pumps should be reasonably quiet, at
least in small tanks. As I have sensitive hearing I am concerned if

Newbie needs guidance

Hi
I'm about to set up my first tropical freshwater tank and need to get
an idea of available types of supplies and prices.
After googling for online suppliers I've noticed that those I have
found all have pretty photos of their tanks and shops but none
actually have a decent online catalogue or online shoppi ...

I normally buy Tetramin or Aquarian for my tropicals, but I just noticed
that Wilkinsons do an own-brand flake for about 1/4 the price. Anyone tried
it?

Away two weeks, on timer, what food?
Tue, 13 May 2008 09:26:19 -0700 (PDT)
I did test my auto feeder for three clown loach and three tetra. Just
stuck flakes in. They were one solid mess a few days later due to the
humidity from the tank. So, how do I use an auto feeder please? It's
one of the Juwel ones, and I cut a hole in my lid for it.
Thanks ...
