Hi guys I came accross a Juwel Lido 120 for pretty cheap yesterday and figured I would buy it and set up another tank I will overfilter like the others with a fluval u4 internal and eheim 2073 external etc etc but I am wondering whether I should try another species in it or just have more Zebras? I ...

thats a tank and a half cheers for sharing

Enough circulation, aeration and good common sense has worked well for hobbyists for almost a century.

well said!

In my 125L Juwel Rio L134 tank I run a Fluval 4 with airline to create bubbles while it pumps out if that makes sense, an external eheim 2073 and also the eheim 400 airpump just to make sure and get 6-8mg/l o2 test with the same test kit you used, temp 84F But I also get 6-8mg/l in my l46 trigon 190...

Very nice fish indeed

Got my L134's ordered and paid for, roll on tomorrow for pics and the 14th for delivery

Will keep that in mind next time with the numbering thanks for the help too mate, I am hoping I may indeed get spawning them again at some point

Same fish mate I just edited the brightness via photoshop so you could make them out better

And the two females?? cleaned up

here is one of the pics cleaned up a bit via photoshop

Mats thanks again mate, its always good to get other peoples opinions, I find I look at them too long and decide one minute female then nah male then oh I dunno lol, I know there is 2 for sure males, the females I just aint too sure about

Acanthicus thanks for your reply I appreciate it, I am hoping this is the case but not sure, any other views people?

Hi guys caught my 4 aldult zebs today and I am 100% on two of them being male, I was sure I had one female too and one that I am not sure about :/ I only have an iPhone for pics which isn't the best but is there any chance some of you can download the pics I have taken via my link http://zebrapleco....

In a previous post we were discussing o2 saturation in our tanks etc With my Trigon 190 Zebra Pleco tank which has a fluval u4 with airline to help airate and my eheim external spray bar I was getting results of 6-8mg/l o2 I bought an Eheim 400 air pump which comes with 2x Diffusers as you can see i...

Im adding in an eheim 3704 with x2 difusers to see if i can get my levels up with the kit i do have, failing that I may add a power head but with the external spray bar and the u4 internal I dont want to create too much turbulance as I also have cardinals and shrimps in my tank Just want to keep my ...

All a bit technical is my current oxygenation good or bad?

I have 20 cardinals in my L46 tank with no issues

ThinkI have 6-8mg/l using the API test kit, all I have is the fluval U4 with airline to produce bubbles and current, the eheim 2073 external spray bar near the top Going to add the Eheim 400 air pump with 2x difusers to see if i can create a bit more before adding a powerhead, only as in my L46 tank...

welcome

working now ;)

Cheers will have a look

Mats cheers mate, know where I can get an affordable quiter one from by any chance?

Might try one of these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170688823140? ... 1423.l2649

Should be ok to run a few tanks?? and hopefully quiet enough for the neighbours? what do you's think? i have a lot of money worth of fish so kinda paranoid for the winter lol

How long would somethng like this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UPS-Battery-Power-Back-up-850VA-3-Plug-Black-Silver-/300542401117?pt=UK_Computing_PowerSupplies_EH&hash=item45f9b91a5d or this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1200VA-Uninterruptible-Power-Supply-UPS-System-/250640130911?pt=UK_Computing_Powe...

Just picked up some males myself mate, really needing more females as I only have one confirmed adult female :/ I have one possible female but i think its a male too :/

Battery operated airpumps a good idea too?

I am wondering about this myself, as we in the winter do get the odd powercut here in scotland :P I am thinking battery air pumps and some form of battery back up for each tank but not sure can anyone suggest the best option and what do in case of power cut so too speak, not really exerienced one ye...

Hi guys just wondered what your views are on Trigon shape tanks v Rectangle shape tanks? I keep a group of L46, I previously kept them in a Rio 125L and a Rio 180L rectangle tank, they did fine but you never seen them very often at all unless feeding, I then got the chance of a Juwel Trigon 190 so b...
