JPD1980 Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Cheers all, Well, it will be something based on the Fluval Evo 13.5, the only bit in my list I can't source in the UK without paying a fortune is an intank media basket 2 Quote Link to comment

Elephant999 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Welcome from an Evo owner. I know the Intank media basket is expensive and only available from Charterhouse Aquatics in the UK, but I find it really useful. I tried making my own but it was a disaster. 1 Quote Link to comment
JPD1980 Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 I'm from Eastbourne, down on the south coast, and I keep checking with Charterhouse, and it's not and won't be in stock anytime soon, I just have problems spending around half the tank cost on a media basket hahahaha 1 Quote Link to comment

I was born just along from you in Worthing. Live in Leeds now. I've seen a couple of media baskets sell on ultimatereef for 40-45. Have a look about, Ebay and Gumtree are worth a check as well.

Keep checking their website as before they came into stock for me I was told 6 weeks but they were in stock in half the time. Quote Link to comment

To be honest, after spending over a monkey on the kit list I should probably hold off, swmbo has already raised an eyebrow 😉 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Elephant999 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I know the feeling, I bought an AI Prime, jumpguard, ATO as well as the media basket. My husband was not impressed! 2 Quote Link to comment
