Okay, that wasn't made clear. Take a look at this and then maybe you'll get the help you need. Also moved your thread to "Plant Help". https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/please-read-the-guidelines-for-plant-help.60671/

Looks like you've already done it. I'd have perhaps added more of a shape to the cut stems and taken a little more off. But as for the pinholes in the leaves, could be potassium deficiency. The stems are fast growing and will sequester nutrients more efficiently than slower growing plants like...

Imagine trying to get rid of this type of duckweed then. Wolffia globosa The examples below aren't aquatic, but surely Darwinian evolution can't explain all of them. Maybe the best evidence there is for a holographic universe, or even a computer simulated reality. Or perhaps nature has a...

Welcome 🙂

That's a shame Gill, and it woud have been good to see you. Next time ;)

Lovely day at Aquarium Gardens. The meet was a bit more intimate than last time, but had a really friendly and chilled vibe. Got chance to meet some very nice folk and chat with old friends. Tai's @taistrietman biotope style workshop was a great addition to the day and very engaging. Coming from...

Yes for sure. The B series MK II is RGB-W and I think has a very decent colour rendition. And they're relatively cheap units, with an inline controller for dimming and setting the photoperiod.

Take a look at the Twinstar range, the colour rendition is pretty good at a decent price. And take a look at what our sponsors offer. Either way best to go for something dimmable. https://www.aquariumgardens.co.uk/led-aquarium-lighting-54-c.asp

Welcome :)

Lepidium sativum

Absolutely not. Nor shrimp. Not even the largest container. Aside from the diminutive size, the gas exchange will be minimal not only since some are taller than wider but also because of the narrow neck. And with a wooden ball in it just for good measure, it's effectively sealed off. Apparently...

Welcome :)

Hi-tech, or take the hybrid approach. Grow less demanding plants, like those suggested above. And like Darrel @dw1305 mentions above inject just enough CO2 to turn the drop checker green instead of lime green. You'll get healthy plants but more of a slow burner, and more wriggle room...

Dario Dario springs to mind but they're perhaps best at least kept as a pair, that is if you can find a female. But Sparkling gourami make pretty decent centerpiece fish in a small aquarium.

Old credit card and Bottle brush can be picked up from Amazon for a few quid. Denture brush, the same. It's harder than a normal toothbrush so is more effective at removing limescale and algae from silicon, but without damaging it.
