    Thanks Dinky,

    I got some Synodontis Euptera from Llewellen from Bloemfontein. Sooooo excited. My 280lt tank will be their new home. :ridinghorse:

    And my sus is bringing her 30 Lt tank and fishes to me too. But I also have a 100lt tank and a 30 lt tank that is really in need of some fisheees. I just love guppies, angels and corry's so I think I will be getting some of them soon.

    Thank you, at the moment only the 1 pink bulp, but as soon as I can get to a petshop I will be putting in another 2 x 100 % day lights. Or what would you recommend? I used to have 3 lights in but 2 of the bulp connectors does not want to work so I am going to replace them asap. I would like to get better bulps for the tank but not sure what way to go. Any ideas.


    Unfortunatly the CO2 system is above my budget so I shall be staying with the normal light stuff.

    get the opple energy saving 6500 lights. they come complete (bulb and balast) and is very cheap. a 3ft light is like R75 at builders warehouse. will send you a small one you can try. will also send you some other lighting odds i got. go the diy cos route. just google it to get the mix.
