Posted	money saving ideas/projects
08-09-2007 12:28 by robert.pope	Add your ideas to the list!
08-09-2007 12:37 by robert.pope	ok you have a poor fish? make a cheap hospitol tank for a few Pounds??? i use a clear plastic storage tub with own lid (£2- £5 from woolworths/wilkos)Small sponge filter with airline Algarde Bio Foam 45( £4) if its tropical a small heater....say( £10 max) when its not being used put the sponge for the filter in your display tank to keep it mature and store all the rest in the storage box for the next time! this will save your sillicon from staining in your main tank!
08-09-2007 12:42 by robert.pope	i found wilco's cat litter scoop's make great gravel and sand rakes! ( for big tanks use childrens beach tools!)
08-09-2007 13:06 by telboy	get ya mates to give ya everything for nowt,always a good plan
08-09-2007 13:13 by Nick G	Don't get divorced or married if it early enough to avoid
08-09-2007 14:19 by -Rob C-	Always be on the look out for bargains and don't throw out stuff that could be of use at a later date.
08-09-2007 15:08 by woody007	Is this just fish money saving ideas? if not here is one ...... When underware becomes soiled dont waste money washing......... turn inside out and you should get another 10-12 days use before needing to wash.
08-09-2007 19:39 by robert.pope	when i started the thred it was fish related as webby likws fish related posts being a fish website however woody if your a bottom feeder then im sure your idea would save a few quid
08-09-2007 20:13 by mwilde	Dont spend £150 on guppies from Taiwan for them to die!
08-09-2007 20:23 by robert.pope	hows the rest of them gold plated guppies?
08-09-2007 21:17 by mwilde	Dont ask! 5 out of 8 are dead. £ are still alive, and seem to be recovering. I have 1 female and 2 males. HOPEFULLY if they recover i might get a litter from them - and then at least not all's lost. If not then next time i have some spare cash, im going to go outside and post it down the grid It might be more satisfying.
08-09-2007 21:17 by mwilde	3 not £
08-09-2007 21:39 by telboy	if ya got big tanks + wanna use plastic plants,dont pay out a fortune on plants from LFS go to pound shops, use the plastic/silk ones from there...kids playpit sand instead of aquatic sand...most peeps are willing to do swopsies so ask before buying stuff...buy food in bulk instead of small tubs...ask advice on here or other forums before buying overpriced fish...
09-09-2007 06:30 by Nick G	Instead of buying the costly tank dividers for a tenner, nip down to you local craft shop, they sell the plastic perforated sheeting for a quid, get some of the cheap plastic spines from a stationary shop used for holding sheets of paper together for a few pence, cut to size required and off you go
09-09-2007 09:59 by CichlidRouse	all i can say is freecycle.org
09-09-2007 20:09 by telboy	freecycle = millions of rubbbish emails i gave up on it CR more hassle than it was worth
09-09-2007 20:11 by robert.pope	never thought i would hear the master of free stuff.....ummmm give up on freebies
10-09-2007 15:44 by mwilde	freecyle is brilliant - i do agree though sometimes it can be annoying. The moderator in my area sometimes only authorised the posts one a week. I have had 150 emails in one go from freecycle.
