I've enjoyed the ATI Sunpower T5 x6 80w unit for many years on a 1.8M planted Co2 tank. However, given that our local electricity costs having tripled in recent years not to mention the dreaded load shedding debacle here where we loose power several times a day for two hours at a time, I...

I was just reading Georges' review on Advanced Soil, seems most favourable. I was keen to try out the shrimp soil version in a couple of new tanks. With the product having been available for some time now for testing, I was wondering if any of the shrimp or planted tanks folks had any further...

I know this has been discussed before here, but I wondered if there were any recent thoughts and experiences with using UGFs and an active substrate such as ADA in shrimp breeding tanks ? It would just be a normal UGF plate with air stone, covering about half the tank base. I was thinking of...

I would appreciate any reasonable explanation to this ? :) Presumably Ronnie is not a UKAPS member..

They finally arrived, so was up late doing the painfully slow dripping in... I would really appreciate some comments and thoughts on the shrimp and their quality and if they are what they are supposed to be, no need to be polite ? .... :) Sure I realise the poor shrimp are probably looking...

I'm just doing the final prep for the arrival of some CRS. The tank with ADA Amazonia substrate has ben cycling for nearly two months. I did a 50% water change yesterday, with 50% rain and 50% aged tap water. I have added a light dose of Dennerle Crusta Mineral supplement and some...

I presume most folk have seen this, but I wondered how this might change things for us next year and planning your next scape ? The new criteria would seem to indicate that mimicking or replicating non underwater scenes or let's call it terrestrial landscapes is not encouraged.. or is it ...

Any thoughts, advice and experience on this please..?

I’m trying to work out what I need to sort out the ventilation for my fish room, it's approximately fifty cubic meters containing about about 2000L of water. Being winter here with cold nights I’m getting major condensation problems on the windows and water collecting on the ceilings and then...

I'm currently growing riccardia on pieces of larva rock and wood in an immersed tank with an LED flood and spraying it when I remember. It's starting to grow really nicely, as it gets established could I start adding diluted liquid fertilizer to the spray, would that be asking for trouble or...

A question from the IT dummy... not sure what's happened or changed with Photobucket the last week, but I'm now having difficulty uploading pics as its now wants me to do the following - Mobile Upload Upload photos from your mobile device by MMS (picture messaging) or email. Simply attach a...

I got these mosses from another hobbyist some time back and just wanted to confirm what types they are? I understood they were Christmas and Spiky, presumably Spiky in the first pic and in the second comparison pic with both mosses it's on the right hand side left with Xmas on the left and also...

A bit of a time warp, but here goes with my second attempt with this post, as just when I was getting some good replies, thanks guys, the original post vanished on Black Sunday when the server crashed…:( Specs – Tank 760L, reactor – 360mm length, 60mm diam, plumbed into the Fluval FX5 return...
