12.01.09 Hello New tank!

My new tank is a Fluval Roma 125. I got this one because it will be comfortable size to manage and the way the lighting is integrated and the filter and airlines can be fitted is really sleek. It comes with a cabinet too but I've just put it on the big chest of drawers in my living room. See link below for tank info. http://www.onlineaquariumstore.com/acatalog/Fluval_Roma_125.html

I didn't buy it from here though. Much cheaper at Pets at Home who had a sale on :)

It measures 80 x 35 x 50cm, is 120 litres had has the capacity to take 33cm of fish. Thanks about 4-6 of the fancy goldfish that I keep.

It's filtered by a Fluval 3 Plus internal filter (http://www.onlineaquariumstore.com/acatalog/Hagen_Fluval_3_Plus_Internal_Filter.html ) but I've also added a Fluval 104 external filter (http://www.onlineaquariumstore.com/acatalog/Hagen_Fluval_105_External_Filter.html ) that I was using with my previous tank so I should be able to keep the water nice and clean.

In addition I have a Tetratec 300 Air pump powering 2 airwalls and a disc for aeration. http://www.onlineaquariumstore.com/acatalog/Tetratec_APS_300_Air_Pump.html

I did a lot of shopping around for these and tetratec seem to be the best in terms of reliability and quiet running.

I've set the filters up one at each end and using them both as underwater filters. All the aeration in the tank is therefore coming from the Tetratec which should be adequate as it's for tanks up to 300ltrs which is twice as big as mine. having said that, I've had to turn it down a bit as otherwise the it blows the fish around the tank a bit but it seems to do the genle aeration they need nicely.
