Where did you buy it? A store? How big is the fire extinguisher? Concerned about size. I've heard some people use paintball has canisters. That...
Hello, I'm looking for some advice. I've had a planted tank for close on three years and have never had CO2. I dose Excel everyday though. Are...
I’m in the Northern Suburbs. My water is fine. I’m doing much less frequent water changes due to the drought. Only about 25% every 2 weeks at the...
It's a great filter. Can't believe I've had it over a year already. Never had any issues at all. From a parts availability point of view, I've...
Looks great! I went to lamp house in Cape Town yesterday. They did not recommend installing the LEDs into the existing T-8 ballast. Apparently,...

I know it's been a few weeks, but I want to give an update. I made my own prefilter sponge and then as an experiment, did not clean my canister...
@Zephyrus, Where did you get your pre filter? Do you recall the name or brand? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thanks @Reedfish Will wait and see if anybody in Cape Town has any recommendations we can get locally. I've had a read about symptoms and I...

Hi Guys, I have a strange one. Last night I got home and one of my Danios was just "resting" in a Java fern. I decided to him out and get him...
Yes. A Dophin 1600. Very very impressed. The built in filter is not really up to scratch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It's been six months since I posted, so a little update on the tank. I'm on the third filter. Went from pre-installed drip filter in lid, to...
This is a very interesting thread. I look forward to seeing it evolve. I clean my canister filter every two weeks, which if I'm not lazy equates...
Reporting back. It works! [emoji2] Thank you so much for all the suggestions. Made my life a lot easier. Hopefully, this thread helps others in...
Agreed. I used to clean my tetra weekly as it just wasn't big enough for the tank. With the new filter, I try to do it every second or third...
@ryanvtec, which filter are you using? The general consensus I'm picking up from everybody is valves should be turned off before turning filter...
I have a boyu tank with lid and it took about an hour of struggling to get the pipes in. Not something I wish to go through every 2 weeks. It...
