Please let me know how you get on with it Johntea, if it turns out to be really great I only hope there's some in stock when I go in on sat.

Well it seems ideal for £30... But be prepared for a bit of a headache getting it to find channels!

Once it works it can be run in the background although does lag a bit when multi tasking.

Hi i bought the fish tank but i already have a tank and only wanted it for breeding or to keep the babies in.I'm not sure you'll find it big enough for tropical fish unless you was only going to put one or two small ones in there or maybe one fighter.Remember the general rule is inch of fish per litre(or is it gallon) of water.Also remember it's only a coldwater tank so you'll need a heater which are around 12 or 13 quid.

Edit:It's 1cm fish to 1 litre(some say 1.5l) of water so you wouldn't get much in there unless they are very small fish.

Chester? Oh, it's okay I guess... Lol - I haven't fitted it yet. Should be a doddle but the software looks a bit crap (looks like win 95/98 presentation-wise, looking at the screenshots in the pamphlet. I wonder if it can be run with different software?
