Katie, if you had to listen to him going on about his bloody fishtank all day you'd change your mind! I wanna live in the fishtank at the moment to get some peace!!!!
Just kidding baby. Your fishtank looks great and is an invaluable part of our home.

cheapest i saw it was Ł129 just for the tank, light, filter etc.

I payed Ł120 but got:
tank, light filter etc.
6 bags of gravel
5 extra filter media
1 pot of food
1 thermometer
Algae scraper.

was a deal all totally new. Been waiting for ages to get a bigger tank but like Oranoco, i had to get a place of my own first.

Don't know what extra fish to get or how many i can have, in the old tank i have....

2 x Angel Fish
2 x Ancistrus
1 x ???? some worm looking thing (think it's a type of loach)
5 x Checkered Barb
2 x Platy

ahhhh i saw that one in the shop.....looked well nice but it wouldn't fit anywhere in our house

The 120 is big enough.....for now

Thats an old photo,i have quite a few but not too many,so they have room

Blue pad's i generally change every 6months and the white one every second time i clean the filter.Yeah mate,about 25% of the water so it doesnt upset the balance too much

Haha, makes my little bowl in my room with nemo in it seem quite crap (oh come on, novelty name for novelty value)...I had one called jaws aswell, but nemo kinda savaged him.....so maybe I gave them the wrong names?

ive got a rekord 120.. i recomend you get the venturi device that fits onto the pump as the normal circulation is a bit pants... with the venturi the surface of the water gets moved round a LOT more
