Welcome

I use it on a timer for my terrarium from UNS. I does mist the plants but they never appears wet as a result.

The light coverage seems ok. See how your plants respond over the next 2 weeks.

Welcome

Welcome and nice start

Thanks @richardcunliffe ! It certainly took a while to get this project started.

Thank you Walt! It small ''nano'' size. Dimension in inches: L13.78 X D13.78 X H17.72 [Overall] L13.78 X D10.63 X H17.72 [Paludarium] L13.78 X D3.15 X H17.72 [Chamber]

Hi Everyone I'm starting my journal for my Foresta 35e Paludarium. There is a backwall filter with a pump and an Atomizer which creates fog. The filter water trickles down the plant mats on the back wall. The fog flows out the top and down the backwall, keeping the plants moist. The back wall...

Hi Any recommendations please?

What’s the build cost to make one of these DIY LED lights?

Welcome

Can anyone recommend a bright green moss for attaching to branches in a terrarium immersed setting? I’m looking to get some contrast against the dark green Java moss background.

I don’t think it would. As long as the animals continue to be ok. You could try to reduce to 1bps and see the effect.

Is this one linked suitable? What’s the app control and functionality like? https://amzn.eu/d/fgF8vxP

Hi can anyone recommend a multi plug strip or single smart timers?

The high temperature could be an issue for the Monte Carlo. Place the drop checker on the glass opposite your CO2 diffuser.

I saw a video today from GreenAqua where they put the glue on the hard scape then pressed the Anubias onto the glue.

Welcome

Hi welcome. It sounds like you are doing the correct things. Do you have a CO2 drop checker? Are your stem planes growing?

Welcome

I am going to use glue.

Thanks!

I saw this at the edge of a man made pond in Gloucester. Nice green and purple leaves. What plant is it?

Welcome

It’s not a cut and dry as this. Each tank is different and requires adjustments depending on plant and fish growth. AIO fertiliser mixes are a great way to start.

There are scenes of the river Biotope with fishes.

Just make up a stock solution and start dosing your tank as per the method that you want to use. See how the plants respond over a 2 week period. You will also have to factor in your light brightness and CO2 if you are using it. It is probably best to create a separate post about your tank...

Welcome

1g of salt added to 100ml of water = 1%.

Do you mean how much of each salt to make up your stock solution?

This calculator is useful and you can recreate your preferred fertilizer. Thread 'IFC Aquarium Fertilizer Calculator' IFC Aquarium Fertilizer Calculator

It seems ok. The raw salts are correct. What is the pH and hardness of the water you are using for your aquarium?

Welcome. Have you decided which doing regimen you want to use? See this link for the different methods and recipes. http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/ http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/dosing-methods.htm

Hi Everyone In this video you can see some aspects of the Biotope in the Rio Seco, waterfall in the Matura Nature reserve, Trinidad.

Hi Everyone it was really good to meet fellow members today. Thanks @Geoffrey Rea and @Aquarium Gardens for organising this meeting. Tia’s Northeastern Brazilian Biotope setup was fantastic. It was very illuminating to see the Biotope take shape as each element was added. Tai and Dave were...

Nice work!

“I’m very impressed. I never thought I’d be saying that about a bacterial product, but the science is sound, the product makes realistic claims, and in the flesh it has positive effects. Good effort, Evolution Aqua!“

Welcome and nice tank. You seem to have most bases covered. The M Cuba are difficult to grow. They need high light and CO2 blowing directly on it. Your hard water may be as issue as well. Good that you replaced the foreground with something more resilient.

Hi Please fill out the below template so we can get the complete picture of you setup: Tank details below: 1. Size of tank in litres 2. Age of the set - up 3. Filtration + Media/Sponges 4. Lighting and duration 5. Substrate 6. Co2 dosing or Non-dosing 7. Fertilizers used & Ratios 8. Water...

Hi BBA is difficult to get rid off. Prune the affected leaves. Start by improving your water fertilisers as per @G H Nelson. I would plant a load more Anubias and Java ferns on the wood. Fill the foreground in front of the wood and rocks with C wenditti. Increasing your plant mass will help...

Hi All I have some Wio Tigris sand. Should I wash it before putting it into the tank? Will washing reduce the cloudy water? The filter is a 3 compartment system built into the back wall of the tank. I could just put filter floss in the 1 compartment where the pump outlet drains into.

Hi nice tank! What specific advice do you require?

Interesting plant!

No problem. Us foreigners have our uses!

I love the hardscape! A lot to potential for a fantastic arrangement of the plants and moss. Is the sand covering the Aquarium soil?

Here you go:

Thanks chaps! :clap:

Bem-vindo! Where in Brazil are you from? Have you heard of the Brazilian style of aquascaping?

Hi Darrel I was waiting for your response! So it’s like supplements in health food shops! No clear scientific evidence but cleaver loop hole marketing, “it worked in lab rats so it must be good for humans”.

Hi Dave Can I have a vegetarian sandwich…..or 2 please 🙏🏿

Anyone tried this? It won Practical Fishkeeper product of the year. https://evolutionaqua.com/pure-aquarium

Howdee Matt and welcome!

Welcome Walter!

Just plug the gap next to the Crypt that’s there already.

There’s a wee gap on the right between the rock and glass. Plug it full of Crypts!

Welcome to the jungle!

Chihiros 30 or Twinstar 30B should fit your tank.

Hi Malik I suspect that your tank is too small, but I’m sure an expert with chime in.

@Scmelik I’m sorry if I overstepped, I was just trying to get to the root cause of your tank’s issues. The additional information you provided has give us a wider context of the issues you are having with the tank. It appears that there as a few strategies that you can implement to prevent...

Thanks @Scmelik for your answers. I’d suggest you massively increase your plants in the tank. The drift wood you have is begging for moss and Anubias. Some Echinodorus in the left back to use the height. Cryptocorney wendti for the fore to midground. Also fill up the foreground with more of...

Hi @Scmelik Thanks for posting the photo. It looks like you need a lot more plants to help stabilize the tank. Planting heavily with fast growing stem plants will help. I'd fill the background with tones of Rotala. Copy and Paste the list below...and add your answers to each number on the...

Nice work!

Welcome

Hi can you post a picture of the whole tank please? We just need to see the context. So far things seem to be heading the right way for the tank.

Bienvenue or bienvenu!

Well an algae got to breath 🤷🏾

I’ll do that !

I got mine from Aquarium Gardens. I see Horizon Aquatics also have them. It's not an all in one kit so you do have to buy all the components separately. The Bioloark Bio Bottle Terrarium SD175 is a complete steup: bottle and LED light for £70...

Thanks for the advice. Yes I’m very much into vegetarian super foods!

Hi Well you write like an scientist! No I don’t have any references about my suggestion.

Thanks!

Thanks for your comments. I put the Dooa jungle base as a first layer. Any tips for getting rid of the mould?

That’s insane!

Strong work above 👆🏾

Hi Everyone I’ve been wanting to do a terrarium for a while now. I opted to get the Dooa Shizuku Glass Pot with the wooden base, light stand, and magnetic light. The all in one clean aesthetics is so elegent…..so Japanese. Substate: Tropica Soil, sloped up to the back Hardscape: Red Moor Wood...

Thanks for your reply. This is just the type of real world scientific study aquarists need. Would you be measuring cycling parameters like: ammonia, nitrites and nitrates? Would you be doing any microbiome analysis?

Dragon stone.

Hi What’s is the aim of your experiment? What are your outcome measures?

Welcome

@ElleDee nice work with your plant growth. I’ve just read Sudipta’s post below. Very informative from a true scientist. https://www.plantedtank.net/threads/sudiorcas-non-co2-supplemented-softwater-tank.1324061/

His planting demonstration can best be described as clumsy. the ones from the reptile shop were good quality

:clap:

Welcome

Thanks did that today! My daughter was excited to add them.

I love it!

I found these recently at a local reptile shop. They are a bit chunky but robustly build. It will do the job. £6-10.

Hi Everyone The aquascaping tools are longer versions of surgical instruments. If you compare surgical instruments made in South Asia (cheap) vs German (super expensive), functionally there isn’t much difference. If you practice enough with your manual dexterity you will get both to work. The...
