Excellent setup

any details on the breeding jo? they are gorgeous plecs

Hi Jo, you have a 2KW heater in the sump, where did you get it from, I currently have 3 x 500W heaters in my sump, but it doesn't seem too efficient, takes ages to increase temp after water changes, so I think I need a bit more oooomp.

Tried searching ebay a while back, but didn't see anything, will have another look today in my lunch break, when Internet access proxy is removed, the joys of work.

Will put some words together Scatz in problem all just pretty much hypan standard breeding really.

Zebra Pleco the 2 kw heater was an inline pond heater used on my central breeding system that I no longer run, I do have the heater here if it would fit your system its a tail end in out attachment from 1" fitting upwards to 2" I think, it cost me £120.
I have moved all my breeding groups to another location so that the fish house at home can be removed if I built another it would all have to be on an automatic water change system with many things totally different, I no longer have this particular L400 breeding pair Andrew in Scotland now has these spawning, I now have a different breeding pair & fry from the ones pictured above.
