Hi there. Looking to sell this set up. Contact me if interested and we can chat. Cheers!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh and the first picture appears to be a pure white shrimp which appeared about a month ago!!! Pretty flukey breeding haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quick update with some photos. Will take some better ones when I have the time. Have added CRS and CBS and they are breeding away!! So happy and this is now my favourite tank. So much happening at once! Also added a vertical root system to maximise the height of the tank as before the upper...

All of this wood is still available if anyone would like to purchase? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Long time since an update so will pop a few pictures on Really love the moss in the tank. So so happy with how it's turned out! As always thoughts are welcomed. However I will unfortunately be selling this tank soon as I will be joining the Army in May. If anyone is looking to buy it...

Bit of a bad picture but I'll throw it up anyway. Tank is fully grown in now. Turns out there was pelia in the Xmas moss so it has turned into a really nice combination carpet/bush. Will upload a better picture soon. Also added some floating plants

Hi Darrel, Whilst I appreciate that these situations may not be the "perfect" conditions for a particular type of fish, there is obviously a much wider degree of conditions that the fish are quite happily able to live with. Obviously in an ideal world there would be no CO2 in the water, plenty...

I've recently rescaped this to resemble a mini mangrove and I think it's worked out much better than before! Shrimp are in and breeding like crazy. Soon to be moving them to the other tanks Thanks for looking

Yeh I agree it's far too big!! Is there a smaller type? Haha yes it is!! Didn't see that when I originally put the photo up!!

Another little journal to hopefully interest some of you! Tank specks are Dennerle 20l 11w dennerle light ADA Amazonia powder Redmoor wood/sticks Flora Needle leaf java fern Christmas moss Anubias nana (All supplied by UKAPS members!) Am trying to figure out the layout and was hoping for...

And what the tank looks like today about 2 months from set up. The tanks and plants have taken a slight beating as I have moved them down to uni recently. The glosso is growing up and it's been a real pain but I feel that HC would work better so am swapping it out for that shortly. Sorry...

Hi all! Thought that I'd post my newest scape to the forum to see what you guys think of it! Tank specs are... 45x26x26cm - 30l Lights - 2x24w T5 Filtration - Rena XP3 - 1350 lph (bit overkill I know but I already had it!) CO2 - Pressurised 4bps - Up Aqua inline diffuser Substrate - ADA...

Have made some changes to the tank but am suffering some difficulties and was wondering if I could get some help?? I'm cautious about the EI dosing and I think I have a tendency to put far too much in! The tank is only small and he guide lines on aquarium plant food say to put in 10ml per 50l...

Thanks Tim but I think it's necessary to grow it out of water for a few weeks which unfortunately isn't an option Bit of a technical update as well. Had to drop the lighting as algae starting jumping up! Nightmare. I didn't think that the HG was growing well enough so I pulled a large clump...

Also really like the idea of the moss paste but I wouldn't know how to do it. Can any one help me out with some instructions/directions?

Just a few pictures Pheonix Rasboras being added! Runners starting to show

Quick update Have replaced the HC with mini HG and added 6 Pheonix Rasboras. Pictures to follow!

Unfortunately whilst away at university my xp4 stopped working and as a result there was no CO2 and a massive algae outbreak exploded in the tank. The tank was just too much work for my poor old Mum and so has been shut down and the critters re-homed. I did take some pictures before I left but...

Hi guys, Quite a lot has changed since the summer. Have been incredibly busy since getting back to uni and as a result I haven't been keeping up with UKAPS. The tank layout went under change as that enormous slope was un-practical and just kept slipping so this is the new layout after I...

New filter is up and running! Is dead quiet and looks solid. All Pond Solutions won't refund me for the old filter but have offered to replace it if anybody wants to get their hands on it?

Have just moved house, and unfortunately during the move, the slope did slip down. It was unrealistic to presume that the tank could be transported without any substrate movement, so I have completely changed it. Pictures to follow shortly. I have also had problems with the filter and it has...

Re: Ed's Re-Scape 240l - "Reach" - First Journal Yeh, I think I will make this a more regular event. I cut the moss quite far back and it revealed that the main source of the hair algae, is not in the moss itself, but rather its growing on the wood?!? I took a closer look at the wood that...

Re: Andyh's New Journal "Green Beach" 1st Aug12 Yep haha

I've got to agree with Harry here. The rock may look slightly odd being the same level or slightly higher than the carpet, maybe try pushing the back of the right hand rock into the rock into the substrate to create abit of a more dramatic view. The piece on the left hand side is perfect though...

Re: Ed's Re-Scape 240l - "Reach" - First Journal My PH was normally higher than I would have liked, 7.4, but on recent checks I haven't seen it drop below 6.5. This makes more sense as where the algae has attached itself to in the carpet, is the old trimmed plants that are not as healthy as...

Re: Andyh's New Journal "Green Beach" 1st Aug12 Looking forward to seeing the mini HG!

Re: Ed's Re-Scape 240l - "Reach" - First Journal So what, having looked at my setup, do you think the issue is? Cheers mate.

Re: Ed's Re-Scape 240l - "Reach" - First Journal Thanks mate, popped another picture up to show what it looked like before it got redone. Bit of a rubbish picture but you get the idea.

Re: Nature's River By Harry Robinson Really good sense of depth in the tank, the only thing that you could do is possibly get a smaller grain size for the sand to help with the scale? Just a thought but looking forward to this one fully grown in.

Re: Nano CRS Tank 17l It has got quite a gradient on it!!! It was something that I wanted to experiment with, and hopefully when the plants cover more of the substrate, there wont be so obvious, failing that it can always be lowered! I do expect it to sink some more though as there are gaps...

Re: Ed's Re-Scape 240l - "Reach" - First Journal Yeh, is quite funny when there are 10 of them joining in, Amanos occasionally like to get involved but they lack grace, just sort of charge through the shoal!!! :lol: The moss is peacock moss, has started to become far less stringy and the...

2 Month update. Hi all! Been a while since I last updated the thread as have been pretty busy! Anyway, have been having some problems with Thread Algae, and through some discussion on various threads on here it was suggested that the cause could be down to poor flow, which is something I had...

Trouble in Paradise. Setting up a tank is a near magical moment. Putting together various parts of a puzzle which slip seamlessly together. This, however, was hellish. :twisted: So after filling up the tank and turning the filter on, I found that the flow was beyond weak. So I left it for...

Re: Ryuoh Lagoon [Invisible spraybar!] Hey mate, Looks great, Just a word of warning, had those exact elbow joints on my Rena XP3 and XP4 and they reduced the flow rate, and put so much pressure on the filter that I had to scrap them. Hope you have better luck!

Re: Ed's Re-Scape 240l - "Reach" - First Journal I do, but am thinking about investing in some proper carpet scissors as its abit of a pain at the moment!

Thanks very much for the input guys! Looks like a will have to re evaluate the CRS. Luckily it wont be some time until i move some inhabitants in what with moving the tank down to uni. The main thing I want out of the shrimp is that they are small so they help create a sense of scale in the...

Re: Ed's Re-Scape 240l - "Reach" - First Journal The XP3 actually was struggling a little bit as its flow was massively hampered by the external reactor,soooo...... I've added another XP4 as I was having some flow related issues. Will post a picture of the new set up soon, as I have added...

Re: Nano CRS Tank 17l It was just a Clearasel tank I found on offer for £10! Think you can find them at Pets at Home. The tank will be running for a couple of months before I add some critters, so will measure the parameters and adjust if necessary.

Re: Nano CRS Tank 17l Thanks mate, the thing with the substrate is that I anticipate it to lower when the water is added ect. At the moment I would agree with you that it is very high. I'm pretty sure that I'd just go with K4 grade as they look really nice. Otto...With the soft substrate and...

Re: Nano CRS Tank 17l I'll have a bash at that later. The substrate causes the water to become softer, so would it be possible for them to equal the other out? If not there is always the option on putting water softeners in the filter such as peat?

Re: Nano CRS Tank 17l Thanks mate, I was worried but the flow is not very strong at all so should hopefully be ok! I thought the rock was inert?!

Hey guys, Thought I'd start another journal for my new tank that I am setting up! Its going to be the tank which I take back to Uni with me, so I thought why not start up a Nano CRS Tank?! Here are the specs: Tank: 40x20x20cm = 17l Lights: UP PRO-L 43cm 2x24w Twin Florescent. (only going to...

Re: ADA 60-P planted tank 'Prairie' (week 10, new photos) Hi there pariahrob, I am local and also use Acres supply! Love the tank, very crisp! A quick question about your photos if I may? What editing programs do you use and what settings on the cannon do you take the pictures with?? Thanks!

Update 6/6/12. 1 Month update For anyone who’s interested in a little 1 month update, here it is; Everything has been growing in nicely, have had to tinker with the lighting times and have dropped it down to 6 ½ hours a day. This is because the HG and Hydrocotyle sp. Japan were looking...

hairgrass browning....?!? I have recently given the hairgrass (HG)a fairly short trim, and now some of the HG is turning brown? Does anybody know why this is? My drop checker is always light green and I have been dosing according to my previous calculations. Any help would be appreciated

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal Great tank! The only thing I'd change is the background, could be better to have a lighter one to emphasis a sense of space. But its all down to personal preference and is easily changeable if you decide you don't want it one day! Looking forward to seeing it...

Re: Ed's Re-Scape 240l - "Reach" - First Journal I actually bought the majority of the hairgrass from my LFS in bunches and then purchased 4 pots on ebay. I'd say that 3 bunches would make up a pots worth, so all in all it would take 10 pots to plant the carpet. Runners are already popping up...

Re: Ed's Re-Scape 240l - "Reach" - First Journal Just a quick update! Have changed the bulbs over to 2x4000k Orsam 840 and 2x8800k Orsam 880. Gives off a really nice light and I'd just like to say a massive thanks to James C for his fantastic thread on T5 lighting ...

Re: Ed's Re-Scape 240l - "Reach" - First Journal Thanks for your thoughts guys! Emyr: I did have the same thought as you, but after spending a good few hours reshuffling the wood and substrate around, I felt that it was probably best left where it was. This is because the back of the wood has...

Re: Ed's Re-Scape 240l - "Reach" - First Journal Thanks. I will be adding some height at the back of the wood, but I think I will wait until the socks that are weighing the wood down are no longer needed, this way I'll be able to get a better feel of the entire tank. Just need to wait a...

Decided it was about time to do something different with the tank and after growing a jungle style scape, I decided it would be an interesting change to do something slightly more aqua-scape like, than just a lot of plants growing. Specs for the tank: Size = 120x45x45cm - 240l Lighting = 4x54w...

looks great
