28-02-2006 17:40 by kell
|
I would spend the voucher on a Fluval 104 £44.98 for my goldfish, Ive been looking for one but they are so expensive.
I would like atlantis to stock aquarium plants, because all the lfs round here have a really poor selection of plants, amd I need loads more variaty. (very unusual idea for a competition, but a good one, thumbs up from me) |
28-02-2006 18:06 by webmaster
|

Merlin 600 Gallon a day Ro Unit £304.33

Aquarium Power Gravel Cleaner £25.85
Then some of this to help balance the water after feeding , like a chimps tea party.
Seachem Cichlid Trace 250ml

I would then spend the rest on some good old treats for my fish, they can make as much mess as they want 'cos now I can clean the mess.
Cheers |
28-02-2006 23:02 by Ed

|

01-03-2006 22:22 by dannyp
|
I would spend my £50 on some marine books so i can find out what i am going to be getting myself into when i sort a tank out. Reef secrets hard cover £25.34, The successful reef aquarium £16.87 and Reef fishes, a pocket guide £19.40 will do for starters. |
01-03-2006 23:09 by jackm
|
my 50 big ones would go towards either a RO unit as i am currently paying insane money for ready salted, ro water or maybe some beter lighting, halides would be excelent.
a suggestion would be a 150w metal halide unit and some protein skimmers, unless i am being a complete numpty but i cant see them anywhere, also maybe make the website slightly easir to use??? |
02-03-2006 14:25 by thomasbutler

This site keeps getting better and better. Now a competition! I officially love u guys!
Well as a struggling marine biology graduate I keep my marine tank to keep my passion alive during this slow period of work!
I would love a TMC Vecton 8w UV Aquarium Steriliser and of course I can pay the balance!
|
03-03-2006 12:45 by Danny Boy
|

03-03-2006 12:47 by laura
|
Whoops! The picture was bigger than I thought, I am sorry I would love the site to sell those under water veggie grips/weights. |
03-03-2006 14:20 by Andrea Downs
|
This is quite exciting - choosing your prize before you know whether you've actually won! I would choose:
Tropical Freshwater Fish DVD £15.26
Power Gravel Cleaner £25.85
Holiday Feeding Block £2.94
Tropical Flake Food 50g £5.44
I couldn't find a 'breeding box' suitable for livebearers fry. |
03-03-2006 17:11 by webmaster
|
laura, how come you haven't done an intro profile page, so we can know you better. simply start a new topic and select the members category.
the other girls; samantha, linda, von, debs, kay, kell, penny and dee (we wont count edwina) could welcome some more female support.
hey, we all thought fishkeeping was a male speciality ... |
03-03-2006 17:12 by webmaster
|
... and you Andrea ... |
03-03-2006 17:15 by yanton
|
Danny, are you revealing your true identity there?
Did i say thanks for the sniper tip - just saved a few hundred pounds on a big purchase. thanks |
04-03-2006 07:34 by lisa uk
|
i would like to choose:
tetratec asp400 pump £32.90
self starting gravel cleaner c/w tap £9.99
zm catfish food 175gm £6.54
hope i win!
good luck everybody! |
04-03-2006 08:35 by Danny Boy
|
nope no true identity. glad sniper worked for you mate. |
04-03-2006 10:25 by Kate Claxton
|
I would choose 2 x Lifeguard Little Temperature Alert at £22.98 each, total £45.96, then a pack of Tetra Prima min-granules for £3.78, bringing the total to £49.74. |
04-03-2006 11:59 by chris east
|
if i won ,it would be a hydor eth 300watt external thermal heater....price £49.48,and i,ll donate the 52 pence to charity,arent i generous |
04-03-2006 15:43 by goeshere
|
I would choose:
Fluval 204 £49.98
Simply because on my current aquarium the fish insist on trying to breed on the bottom of the internal filter (every couple of weeks), which makes maintenance difficult. I spent £50 adding rocks with holes and cave like features to the tank and still they find the bottom of the filter preferable. |
04-03-2006 18:29 by yanton
|
goeshere, you can also try internal SERA power filters - they are superb - just sponge and no outer casing, so youngsters dont get sucked into the filter. |
04-03-2006 23:25 by goeshere
|
How do you connect up those sponge filters? Just connect them to an air pump or what exactly? |
05-03-2006 07:49 by yanton
|
goeshere, check out the forum topic: viewtopic_2401.php
they are all in one sponge internal power units. i find them superb, you can see when they need cleaning.
sorry to hi-jack the thread webmaster. |
05-03-2006 09:32 by Raphael
|
I would spend it to chip in towards a matal halide system for my new marine set up. Please chose me, I'm only 13 and trying to save every penny for my 60 gallon marine set up. |
05-03-2006 09:39 by webmaster
|
Raphael, selection is purely random.
You need to be specific with your selection, with model and price - to qualify for the free draw, like:
Fluval 204 £49.98
Atlantis want to get you all familiar with their website, in order to introduce their services to you all. Hence the requirement to be specific by looking through their site. |
05-03-2006 10:31 by Raphael
|
I would use the £50 to chip in towards the 250w Metal Halide Lighting Unit - £149.99 for marine set up. |
05-03-2006 10:45 by diane
|
I would spend my £50 on
digital temperature alert £43.98
Brime shrimp strainer 5.98

I looked on this site for UK suppliers but the link doesnt sell them. |

Amazing! A competition to win Atlantis Aquatics goodies, and I thought my day could not get any better!
Well there is so much fantastic dry goods and amazingly high quality live stock for sale that this would be too tricky for me to handle by my self. I would have to e-mail a picture of my new reef display and get one of those knowledgeable guys from Atlantis Aquatics to help me out…
….or it is possible that I might just purchase a DERESA 7.5 – 8.5 cm CLAM, for only £44.99 (including VAT at 17.5%)
plus…
…2 x FISH, CORAL AND REPTILE HEAT PACK for only £1.94 each! (including VAT at 17.5%) as I’m taking some home breed Pterapogon kauderni on a road trip to their new quarters.
And that still leaves me with £1.13!
I would love to see Atlantis Aquatics stock some ZOOLIFE products, such as Calanus,
Whole Leaf Nori Blade
Colourfin Daily use Reef Gel
(but then they’d just be too perfect!)
|
12-03-2006 18:18 by Jonny
|
I would buy test kits, medicines and all treatments for my fish also i would like to see more products for freshwater tropical fish on the Atlantis aquatics website. thanks |
12-03-2006 20:19 by webmaster
|
Johnny, you need to be specifc to qualify as a competition entry. |
12-03-2006 22:12 by Linda Chenapa

Dr John E Randall
RRP £55.00
Price: £46.53
|
14-03-2006 17:41 by David B
|
My order would be as follows:-
Seachem Cupramin 250ml £14.84
Seachem Focus 5g £6.89
Magfloat Long £7.48
ZM100 30gm £4.98
ZM200 30gm £4.98
Black aquarium silicon 310ml £7.99
I would recommend the following products are added:-
AP individual test kits (in addition to master kits)
New Life Spectrum fish foods
Kent Cichlid Essential (trace elements)
1kg pack of sodium bicarbonate
1kg pack of magnesium sulphate
(for Rift Lake fishkeepers like me who don't buy proprietary cichlids salts.)
Hope that helps |

webmaster, i have a friend living in the usa who is a fishkeeper nut.
can she enter the competition? |
23-03-2006 08:20 by webmaster
|
no problem samantha, it will be good to have some usa hobbyists on the forum.
but, they would have to buy from atlantis aquatics if they won, so they would need to select lightweight items that could be sent abroad safely. |
