Hi everyone, im back from my weekend away and more tired than when i went, all those kids games that us adults shouldnt really do are very tiring!!!! :lol: A good time was had by all.
No-one looked after my fish because i couldnt really find anyone i could trust 100%. Just checked and iv only lost 1 juvinile ram cichlid, so cannot complain.
Right some answers to your questions.
Albatross, i will try and update as often as possible, Have you seen the first thread i posted on the start of the fishroom?http://celestialpearldanio.com/viewtopic.php?t=393
aquaholic85, i dont know about what tanks are sold in the US but these were bought from a local shop and are built by a large company called clearseal, they are all individual tanks, not one large with tank dividers. There are 10-18x12x12, 5-16x8x8, 6- 18x18x12 and the 100litre tank with the cabinate and hood, this is now for sale and i will use the money for another rack.
celestialdude, my man, i will be uploading some pics on how to make a sponge filter step by step, although after all the parts have been bought it does not work out much cheaper than buying one in the shops. It does have a very large surface area for bacteria at around 4×6 inch square.
