I agree! The best part is that with a low tech tank and easy grower plants you get a balanced system very quickly. I did, however, notice that...
I appreciate the vote of confidence :) I also prefer a more natural tank (and to be honest, the less labour intensive the better!). That having...
Thanks @Wyvern. I've been scouring my garden(the source of these rocks), LFSs and general surrounds...haven't found quite the right rocks yet :)...
Sounds like you're off on an adventure!
I will take a few sump & plumbing pics this evening. Don't know off-hand what the pump rating is. Will add that this evening. The guy I bought the...

My wife said I should rather leave the trickling water sound to mask the pump noise! It's certainly more soothing :)
Personally, lugging a bucket around is probably the safest method for my less than brilliant plumbing abilities :D I would also not trust our...
I'm sure our rivers do contain all manner of nasties, considering all the effluent & chemicals we pump into them.
I totally forgot about this thread and opened another over here which deals with the same topic :embarrest:. I think any further discussion should...
OK, so I finally got around to gluing the perspex together. The Tensol I have worked fine on its own. I didn't need any additional components. My...
Just came across another potential swim-mate for your pool :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7Mr3-PJwpY
