Now that we are down to 1 aquarium I have managed to negotiate an upgrade to a larger tank with the other half. The problem is finding an aquarium that is significantly larger than the 60 litre that is currently in the living room but isn't going to dominate the room. A 105-115cm long tank...
I wanted to do a snail breeder tank to feed my figure 8 puffers and I had a couple of Ramshorn snails in the pond so it made sense to do a coldwater set up for that reason and it also saves money on a heater.
I've chosen some UK native plants but I've got absolutely no idea what species they are...
I'm going to set up a small 40l for pond snails and want to use native British plants. The tank is sand only at the moment as it used to be home to a Fiddler Crab but I wanted to put a layer of substrate underneath the sand.
Has anyone used pond compost such as 'Blagdons'? If so is it any...
Does anyone know a contact number for MSN Hotmail, UK?
My account started sending out loads of spam to my contact list and even though I closed my account last Tuesday people are still receiving spam emails. I've tried looking on the MSN website but it constantly directs me towards Frequently...
About a month ago while I was relocating some of my plants I noticed that the bulb had come off my Nymphaea Lotus and it had established it's own roots, I assumed that this was a natural propagation process and that the plant would go from strength to strength and new shoots and roots would...
I'd like to create a 70 degree-ish 'bank' effect in my tank.
I suppose that I would need a sticky sort of substrate but all I've had any experience with is eco complete and sand - neither of which will hold for any length of time; so I thought pond soil or aqua soil may be better.
Does...
I visited this site a couple of years ago and asked what plants might work in a brackish aquarium, since that day I have continued my research on this site and others and have experimented with many diffirent plants and eventually got to grips (kind of) with dosing regimes.
The tank is, as the...
This plant has flowered in my tank and I was wondering how easy it was to propagate?
Do you just rub a cotton bud over a few of the flowers?
If seeds are formed should i leave them in the tank or remove them and grow them in a plant tub as you would a house plant?
I have some messy fish in a 20USG tank including 2 Figure 8 puffers a halfbeak and 3 bumblebee gobies, at the end of the week my nitrates are between 10 and 20ppm therefore all i dose is 10ml of James's trace element mix every other day. The plants are holding up but some have pinprick holes...
I'm thinking about buying a reverse osmosis filter because buying water is becoming really expensive.
There doesn't seem to be that many second hand ones out there and what's being sold is not far off the price of new.
I've found 2 companies online and they are:
1. RO-Man.
2...
Does anybody know where you can get a tank over 160 USgallons for a reasonable price - my LFS has a 160USG for £850 and i will be buying that in the new year unless i can find something else. preferably I'd like a 200USG but i can't find one on the internet that comes with a lighting unit...
In around March next year I'll be upgrading to a larger tank and i will be trying my best to do a proper aquascape instead of just plant in a haphazard fasion like my other tanks..
I need to have a slope out of the water for the mudskipper and i'd like to be able to visualise what the tank will...
Is anybody worried about the plans to add fouride to our tap water?
Will it harm the plants and fish in anyway? Will the LFS be rubbing his hands together waiting for this to happen because everyone will be forced to buy RO water?
Unfortunately I have to buy RO water anyway because the...
We have 2 brackish water tanks; 1 is already established and the 2nd tank is cycling and waiting for a mudskipper.
I would like to add live plants to both of the tanks but our LFS doesn't seem to know too much about them, the only advice they can give me is 'i think a Java fern might be ok'...
