Hi, I have a 135L tank and recently bought a used Aqua Medic Yasha to use as a quarantine tank, 36 litres. My first question is can I use the water from my main tank to save time in cycling, main tank has been up and running for 6 weeks. I was going to do it in 3 parts by adding 3 x 10 litres...

Can you put a marine tank by a North facing window, no sunshine comes through the windows but obviously gets a lot of light?

I am new to marine and looking to buy first tank and decided to buy second hand. I today saw the above tank on ebay and bid £83 and won. I was looking to buy a RSM d130 but saw the above and could not resist. It is complete with heater, lights and return pump, cabinet also included, has...

Hi, have recently joined forum for advice. I have had 2 small tropical tanks for past 3 years and always wanted to upgrade to marine but never taken the plunge. I have decided to take the plunge via the purchase of a second hand tank to see how it goes and time required to develop and look...
