      Yo MD, I've recently set up a new tank and opted for the LED floodlight you use on the majority of your tanks. My only concern is, they do get a bit warm. I have a lid on my tank and I've not attached the light to the underneath as I'm a bit worried it'll get to hot and maybe damage the glass. I'm just looking for your opinion, have you used any of the LED lights under any covers?

    I’ve seen a good few of your videos now, what I like most is your consistency. Every set-up has the same good foundation and then you modify from there. I’ve never kept fish before but this makes me think I can have a go as long as I make sure the basics are all in place and I keep on top of water testing.

    This is lovely, quite similar to my set up for my female koi betta. Re male bettas and other fish - any crowntail or similar is safe to house with other species. They can't swim fast enough to threaten anything! I'm more careful with Plakat, those guys can move!
