The website I've found sells 20mm PVC pipes too, so I'll order them instead.

Thanks for your help Emma,

I will try and get some Pictures of my progress. The tank at the moment holds a Mudskipper, so basically I'm swapping the tanks around so it may take a while. I should be doing it in a week or 2 when I get everything I need, but I'll do a little journal.

Congratulations!, that is great news!

I've decided to cancel the order with the powerheads as their were a few complications. This time round I'm going to get 2 Maxijet MP 1200's. The PVC pipe I'm getting will be 3/4" , is this the same as yours Emma?

Emma, I've already ordered 2 Aquaclear 802's, perhaps I should of ordered the maxijets to save the hassle. Maybe I'll use them next time I set up a river tank.

Can I use this for a glue for the PVC tubes? http://www.pipestock.com/Accessories_22/Solvent_Cement_For_PVC_...

Thanks for the pic. Whitey Macleod,

That is the amount of algae I want on my rocks, I may get a single 55 watt unit.

I prefer the whitish lamps, so I may get one with about 6500k colour spectrum.

My tank consists of mainly pebbles and smooth rocks. I have already put some of these smooth rocks in a tub outside for algae to grow on, I know this works as I have done it before for some plecs. If I don't have that much lighting then what should I have, I kind of want that Red algae which is in t...

Hello, I have a 34 gallon river tank with some Danios and 4 newly introduced Sewellia lineolata . I want to encourage some algae growth, sort of like the algae which Martin Thoene has on his river tank on one of the articles. I'm thinking of getting a twin 55 watt PC T5 lighting unit, the question i...
