Thanks everyone for your replies.

I've been looking around on the internet for the products that you have all mentioned; however I've found it hard to find the spares for some of them in the UK.

I have decided though to go with the tetra whisper air pump. I have found the product here: http://www.fishandfins.co.uk/tetrapumps.htm

(I have purchased items from their site before and they seem to provide good service.)

lohachata, I see that you mentioned the whisper 100, however according to their website they state that it only goes up to 100l tank sizes. Would it be worth getting the 150 version for sizes 80-150l? Would I also be able to use a gang valve with this for future uses to power another ornament?

Regarding the actual filter, I cannot seem to find the Penguin or Emperor models in the UK. I have found the AquaClear series, but I'm finding it hard to find spares for the models you have mentioned.

- Maybe I'm just being stupid and they're right in front of me... but I can't seem to find them...

On the up-side I have visited my local aquarium shop's website and have found this filter: http://www.maidenheadaquatics.co.uk/...oducts_id=2105
I'm not sure what it's like and whether it's any good at all, but what do you guys think on this?? Have you ever heard of it?

Sorry for all the questions, thanks again.
