Thanks for that! Sorry for the late reply. There is an old water tank with pipe work in the attic so my plan would be to draw off that to fill up the tanks and there is a window that can be opened onto the roof so I’d plan to pump the water out there so no need for buckets up and down the attic

Hi, I’m wondering if anyone has ever made a fish room or had tanks in there loft/attic? I was thinking on having a few 2ft and 4ft tanks spread across the attic and insulating it all and plaster boarding it.

Thanks Eric will give it a shot cheers

What fish do you keep?

It’s at 25.5 degrees c. I had increased it in the past to 28 and didn’t seem to make a lot of difference

Hi, my cardinal tetras keep getting white spot. Even after treating it with Esha 2000 and Esha exit combined it will go away and then come back but I can’t seem to permanently cure it. I dose the recommended dosage and have tried extending the dosage further but no help. The other fish don’t seem to...
