So now that I have a basically empty tank, I've started to think what my options are. Initially I thought this is a good time to go the planted...
Oh yes, the one I missed was the other car starting to piss oil from the gearbox. Fortunately it was "only" R600 to fix, which seems like nothing...
Seems like a bad week for fish. For me this is just the final disaster in recent times. First our power was randomly cut, due to the previous...
Nope, checked it immediately. Water was at 25 degrees, exactly where I had set it. The Synodontis in the tank with him is perfectly fine,...
Yeah, I even tried to teach him not to jump for food...which he did initially when I got him. I only ever remember him catching a fright once...
No no, the lid covers the entire area. I just don't have a pic of the tank with the lid on.
TroyFish I know exactly how you feel. Here I am missing my Oscar terribly, who was much more than a simple fish, but actually a household pet....
Nope, we've only been in the house a month or two now...so it's horribly dirty and has no maid :) I mean the lid is aluminium, so not dead heavy...

Eish the good old Appendix, the silly thing nobody needs that always goes tits up when you least expect it. Get well soon!
Sounds like you bought the super cheap cheap 3mm type.
How the hell do you okes keep the glass so clean? I always always always have a bit of algae growth at the gravel level, but it seems nobody else...
Yeah I'm not really worried about that, just sounds extremely low for any Canister filter.
Maybe dropping the temperature slightly might also help, but I'm no expert so I would wait for someone else to confirm this logic. 200litres per...
Yeah, the size of the tank pretty much determines everything else. Next, what type of fish do you want to keep in the tank, as that also changes...
Yeah agreed. In my case it would be rather going without, than trying to find the time. But I might just go for a river stone arrangement as I...
Having just bought a house, I suspect there will be a great many other DIY projects in my near future, and none of them related to fishies.
Yeah I've also read about the polystyrene, but I'm not really worried so much about the base which is covered with substrate, as the sides...
