cheers sarah x

I havent one but seen some about, they look good think they are 28 litres or such. Sure someone has had experience of these though and be along shortly!! Its a real neat looking tank

just cos there's a couple of cheap ones near me lmao - hubby said i can have another tank lmao i'm wasting no time
one is 99p the other is £5

been years since i've had a UG filter - must be about 10-15 yrs

I never even seen one as a juvenile fishkeeper! LOL, only been now 6-7 months. Those are absolute bargains!

I was going to buy one earlier this week but missed it, there great little tanks. So i went for a clearseal 30 litre instead to split into 2 for new males Smile

thanks netty - they look good chopped - is the UG filter good?

thanks for moving hunni - i knew i posted it in the wrong section lol was going to ask you to move it tonight lol

LOL...no probs.

Ours didn't come with the UG filter. We have a mini fluval filter with a tube running into the other section.

thats how most of my divded are set up lol - apart from the bettalife tanks cos the overhead trickle filter is perfect in them

anyone else got these and use the ug filter thats with it - i have an aqua flow 100 , 2 fluval 1+'s and a elite mini all cycled in main tanks lol - so can easily use one of these instead

i know i'm insane - just always like to have some spare cycled filters on hand

ive got 1 and didnt even bother to open the box with the undergravel in as was going sand. i just use a interpet mini

the UGF tends to be too strong for most bettas. I divided one off with a piece of hobbiecraft children cross stitch thingy for 25p and then used 2 folder binders from staples then siliconed them in place.

My daughters one has the ug filter but has a spray bar so the current is facing the back/bottom. Have had no probs so far, the tank isn't divided yet though!
