today, really lovely small fish. Was unsure on the food so read up and read this. Diet: Whilst they prefer small invertebrates in their natural habitat, it has been found that they will eat anything in the tank as long as it is small enough. They will enjoy occasionally chasing live daphnia...

Love it, can we get a close up please :)

I've got some plants in and moss tied to the wood, rocks and stones roughly where I'd like them and going to start the feeding routine, water is still clearing and the FE should be with me wednesday, give it a few weeks and then consider my shrimp and some small fish. Any feedback is greatly...

Found them on ebay, I'm probably better off value wise with the FE which will be here on Wednesday, I might get a valve and keep it as an emergency spare when FE runs out.

Ordered a FE due tuesday, will get the sodastream back for a refund.......

F**king sick as F**k, the soda stream bottles dont fit my reg :) Gonna have to go the FE route, what a ballache

I'm gonna use it to regulate the increase, as long as the inhabitants are happy and my numbers stay within a relative parameter I'll be happy :)

Top drawer DTL :thumbup:

Makes sense Andy. Aren't I lucky having nice soft water :) Nathaniel, yeah I thought that when it arrived but I presume it's very accurate and will last a long time. Sorry Ollie just noticed your post there, using that formula my water today is now 192 TDS, I would imagine that a rise from...

Trans Instruments Senz µSiemen Meter for Hydroponics, Hydroculture, Aquaculture | Eco City Hydroponics Singapore Online Store Got it off ebay never used and for an absolute steal. Slight problem..........the readings are in mili Siemen and I haven't got a clue what my TDS is hahaha, not...

Problem solved, taking the 600g welding bottle back to Halfords and getting the soda stream bottle from Argos, when it runs out I take it back to Argos and get a replacement for £9.99, sorted and ideal for my 55l tank, the bottle is small enough to fit in my drawers on which my tank is sat. Buy...

How on earth do people manage to use the Halfords co2 cannisters, many claim to use them but I don't see how their regs would take them unless theyve got some sort of adaptor.

Think I need one of these SodaStream Adapter | CO2 Supermarket Will just have to see if I can get one tomorrow from B&Q

Yeah I just need to know if you can buy an adaptor to fit the reg and halfords 600g canister. Many thanks

From research i think i need a M10x1 fitting, if anyone can confirm this I will check B&Q tomorrow.

Wondered if anyone could help me please. I bought an Easy Aqua Reg and solenoid off ebay and have been to Halfords today for one of their 600g co2 welding canisters. Come back home, and can't connect the two as the fitting on the canister is too small. The reg has a removable bit you take...

Thanks Darrel, that's some great advise and I'll take your word for it :)

Thanks for the replies, the tank is covered to keep humidity up yeah, Michael I think I'll have to leave it and see how they go like you say, if they deteriorate I'll just have to get some proper topsoil type of substrate which contains nutes and replant in that, I really can't see them getting...

I've got some UG, some HC and some harigrass planted in tropica substrate topped with aquarium gravel. Im not convinced the plants which I planted last night are reaching down into capped substrate yet and am worried they might wilt and die although I am misting them daily. The idea was to dry...

Like I say it looks like shite now, but I'm looking to what it might become :)

I've got bits of wood to graft onto the tree stem and and make it more expansive, with overhangs. Going lava rock hunting again tmrw on way to work on my bike, hoping to get more of the lovely rock

Well things going slow as I assemble all the bits I need, Got some coral type rock from LFS and whilst out on my bike stumbled across what I think is actual lava rock, I've got my fissidens ready to tie onto wood toinght and some more mosses to cover the rock and some UG to grow in the...

I really like this.

Liking this

Just noticed my photos are massive and not conductive to viewing, is there and easy way to reduce the size of them as they are a little on the large side.

I've got some blue slate Ian, that'll be going in tomorrow as its a bit late to be smashing rocks with a hammer tonight :) I've got some of that rock too, will bust it up good :) Just won an ebay bid for an Easy Aqua dual gauge regulator, really chuffed with the price and looks in mint...

Hiya Tim, yeah I've got some blue slate to break up and place in there at the root base, will probably get that done tomorrow after work. I was pleased with the wood, I'm aiming for a bonsai style look hopefully.

Hiya Lindy , the wood is going to be attached to some slate, I just wanted to work on the positioning.

p.s excuse the crappy camera work, taken on my phone and I really need to learn how to take better pictures !!

Hello everyone and welcome to my first ever attempt at the wonderful art of Aquascaping. Got my first tank a few months ago after my girlfriend who keeps fish and has done for a long time decided she wanted a small tank for her living room to keep shrimp in........I thought SHRIMP, is she...

Cheers Gary saved me a lot of googling :)

I know the Easy Aqua regulator has the Din 477 fitting for FE's and also can accomodate the Fluval 88g as emergency if your FE runs out. I've googled loads but can't see if they will accomodate the 600g c02 canisters you can get at Halfords. My question is this, the fitting you change with...

Its an aquanano 40, co2 is going to be a regulator and canister when I get paid toward end of the month, will be growing mosses and HC mostly with some grass of some description, lighting is a tmc 500 tile, went for this as I want the blue light for ability to view at anytime without running...

I've read many threads and was all set on recommendation to go for the all in one APF Plant Nutrition in Bottles (dry) - APF Complete - Fertilisers But then there's the EL starter kit Ei Starter Kit - Starter Kits - Dry Chemicals - Fertilisers I think the pro's of the starter kit are the...

Nice advice Darrel, I'm gonna blast the little suckas with some co2 before they go in my tank :)

Thankyou Johan, I'd like to grow it as much as possible ready to be grafted onto wood etc in weird and wonderful ways, going to try and kill em all by drawing them out as Darrel suggested, if that fails I'll use your method. Many many thanks for the advice :)

Thanks for the reply Darrel. Definitely leeches from your description. They aren't an issue yet as they're just sat in a tub with the moss, didn't want to introduce them and have the headache like you say. I'll try and lure them out but I would be concerned they have eggs or whatever in the...

First ever post on here, originally i was going to start with a diary of my first ever tank, but a delivery from Ebay/Taiwan has resulted in my Fissidens Fontanus coming with a few unwelcome guests. Luckily I'm still preparing my tank so the moss is sat in tupperware on my window ledge, within...
