    Am I going to need

    ambient temperature can drop down to 9 or 6 overnight in winter, but through the day it is usually 16-19. I returned the 150 and swapped it for a 200. working perfectly. How much heat would be lost by not having a cover glass? I have the tank covered now, but I was really hoping to have it open...

    Am I going to need

    A 300w heater? I have a 20" cube tank. 27 gallons. I will need to hear the water about 20 degrees. I have a 150w heater that is just not cutting it. Indicator light is on constantly. The tank is also open top which I guess would make a little difference in insulation? Oh trying to keep...

    Light and filter question for a 50cm cube tank

    Thank you so much! Thanks so much for your time in posting that response. Yup 20 by 20 by 20 inch. I hadn't planted on using co2. And I have never used fertilisers before. I think I will give the mineralised top soil a go. Looks good. So I'm looking for a light fixture with warm white leds...

    Internal sump build. My first ever diy!

    I just picked up a tank for $25, a 50cm cube. Holds 125 litres or around 27 gallons I think. It was just the tank so I have a clean slate for working out how to filter it. I'm going planted so I won't need much current. Low tech. Open top and I found the sweetest piece of driftwood that will...

    Siutations where a 40BR > 55Gallon?

    I'd always pick length over depth, love to watch fish swim the length of a tank. That said, I just brought a cube tank!

    Light and filter question for a 50cm cube tank

    G'day I just picked up a cube tank, 50 by 50 by 50. I want it to be a planted tank and thinking of dirting it. I'm going to start with hardier plants, swords, anubias, Java fern, hygrophilla, banana lillies and duck weed. What do I light it with? I have found these on eBay, do leds grow...

    Dustin's fish tanks

    I think Dustin has a heap of enthusiasm for plants, but that's the direction I want my tank to go in. I've done the monster fish but now I really want to dabble in a properly planted tank. I find joeys videos hard to watch sometimes because they can be so edited, like sentence for sentence...

    Most Tranquil fish to own

    As long as it's a tank without anything to be done, no water changes, algae scrubbing, re arranging. That's relaxing.

    Getting back into it

    So I set up a 15l 'tank' with stuff out of the creek. Rocks, driftwood, plants, gambusia and a yabbie. I'll take a pic tomorrow. I want my big tank! I think I am going to dirt it.

    Husband says no. We have had a few bills come in and money is tight apparently. Hopefully it doesn't sell for a bit.

    Oh there is a pair of breeding Jaguars in there. I've never had them before. I think I will move them on. I'm set on a planted tank and the amount of landscaping they have done just doesn't seem conducive to it!

    Getting back into it

    Think I found one! I love the stand, it's not made for an aquarium is it? Will it hold up anyway? Be strong enough? I can see the doors have gaps that worries me. Thoughts on the stand? I look at it tomorrow.
