Depending on the size of your tank , you can just pull the tank mounts straight out of your Arcadia light and push in the tmc rim mounts instead they fit perfectly no need for a rail as long as the light is the same width as the tank

We'll I've slowly raised the tds over the last 3 days from 144 to 165 ,there have been 2 molts since then and no deaths so fingers crossed . Thanks for all the advice pips !!

Would you suggest I up the tds then Lindy ? What tds do you keep yours in ?

Hi, no they are single deaths,every time I see a moult I know within 4 hrs I'm going to have a death. I have also witnessed the mass brawl on females after moulting and have thought the same as you,that the females are so exhausted after the badgering they receive they just can't get the time to...

Hi , I use salty shrimp lindy

Hi there , I seem to be losing a lot of crs the last few months usually a few hours after they have moulted , does anyone know what causes this ? I have stripped down the tank they were in and cleaned it cause I thought it might be bacterial , but now the same is happening in there new tank ...

I've just used my recently brought ada spring brush for the first time to clean my lily pipes and it was effortless ,I didn't even soak them just rinsed it under the tap. I know they are a tad expensive but if I total up all the different brushes I have brought over the years bettaware teapot...

Hi there glen , yep I remember you from the shop . Just round the corner from me aswell for plant swaps :)

I've had the same idea mate got an old quinness fridge and thought about drilling some holes in that to house the filter. The cold probably wouldn't do the bacteria much good though I would of thought.

I've been seriously considering one of the d-d chillers D-D DC-300 Refrigerated Cooler | Charterhouse Aquatics

Honestly I've done every thing I could think of , fitted a desk top fan pointing at the water surface with a Pyrex jug full of ice cubes underneath the fan hoping it would pull up the cold air! I've got a large fan pointing at the tank and topping up with cold RO water ,I'm scared to leave the...

Tank now hovering at 27 degrees ,and lost two Taiwan bees overnight ! I give up !!

Ditto !! I've just brought a small fan from Argos , and have it pointed at my Taiwan bee tank 24/7 and also doing refrigerated ro water top ups every afternoon and still the tank is at 25 degrees !!

I've had the same problem over the last 3 weeks ,I brought 12 Cheryl's from a specialist dealer and 4 from my Lfs , I now have 2 left ! And have had amanos (6) of them in there for months and they are just fine . I have also lost 4 crs in another tank over the past month, which is very low...

Sorry to hear that plant noob ! Can I ask where you purchased from so I can save myself the same trouble ,I've had enough of rubbish online aquatic stores with there bad approach to customer satisfaction this year ! Pm me if you don't want to put the details on here ;)

I've grown moss before from seed for my bonsais , and used John innes no1 which I baked in the oven for a while to kill any beasties and bacteria ( sterile) . Then put it in a propagater tray and moistened then planted the seeds and popped the lid on. Remember to keep it nice and damp in there...

Looks like its on its last legs mate ! Best call the priest ;(

Cheers guys ! A lot of info here !

Does anyone know how to replicate the white gel stuff that comes with the 1-2 grow pots ?

Yeah I know but the ph didn't really bother me or the Cherrys ,it's still 6.5 two years on and they are breeding well ,so I havnt changed it .

I've heard the same , but still shouldn't be a problem ,I only use RO water remineralised in my tanks and could easily suck up the old stuff and replace with new . I've also kept and bred rhinos,Cherrys ,yellows,and orange shrimp in a nano with fluval substrate capped with dennerle shrimp gravel...

I would go with ebi gold , as a novice I used this to set up my first crs tank , now I use this in all my shrimp tanks with great results ! It also keeps the water parameters nice and stable ;)

Well the journey has been long and stressful ,slowly buying all the things i needed for the tank.The tank was originally brought off gumtree for a breeding tank for my crs but i then decided (after visiting aquatics live 2012 ) to scape it instead. Then the agrow started ...... ordered my...

My guess would be planeria ,do you keep fish / shrimps in the tank ?

Hi Ian and thanks .have you used these personally or no of anyone that has ?

Bedfordshire mate !

A lesson learnt then ! Thank you ady.

Yeah, I've switched to pressurised now although my new reg and solenoid have had to go back coz they are not working ,so am using my disposable tmc one off another tank , till they send a replacement . I was pulling the plants up today and noticed that the roots were healthy and a few young...

Hi , I've recently melted my vallisneria nana in my new tank after dosing flourish exel, I didn't know this product caused melt on these, so I wondered if I trimmed them down to the substrate would they grow again as the roots are in good form and show signs of new growth? Cheers

I wouldn't trust myself siliconing it together ,I've made a right mess of repairing tanks in the past .

Does anyone know where I could get hold of a opti white nano tank between 10 and 30 l would be ideal or a place that custom builds them ,if I go for a custom of about 40lengh x 20width x 15/20 height ,how much would this cost roughly ? Cheers

Thanks Tom ;)

Hi ,I have just brought the jbl m602 set up for my new tank ,when fitting it the reg or solanoid or both isn't working ,so i have had to send it back (story of this new tanks life).I was wondering what reg fits this bottle ,is it a standard size? cause im thinking i might get a spare reg for...

Hi there guys , just set up my new tank that I've been collecting together since November ,so will be needing all your advice in the coming months . P.s how do I put up some pics ? Laters Pete

Take it down the local glazier mate , had two holes cut in my ebi lid for lily pipes ,only cost a fiver !!

Hi Next time you do a water change keep some water Back , and put it in a pint glass or jug and place the Sponge in it ,place a pebble on top to weigh it down. Leave it in for a week, and you should have some nice Bacteria growing in there :)
