Thanks Luis for posting the updates. The tank does look well indeed. I occasionally speak to the team at sealife and they are still very proud if it. Only last week they used the photos of the building of the tank to promote their rainforest awareness week. The plants supplied by aquadip were...

The 44Kg system has 50bar of pressure in it, this is reduced to 1.5bar on the regulator output. This then hits a metal splitter to two diffusers with integrated bubble counters. Due to the volume of the tank and the location of the diffusers we could not possible determine the exact BPS count...

I forgot to say thanks to Luis for filming this. We have many photos to be released in due course.

I can say that this project has been massive. 2.5 months planning and growing some enormous bolbtis 1.5m tall. We have been asked to go back and scape up and supply for many more tanks. I am really pleased we had Luis help and assistance on this project.

I agree paulo. But what concerns me is that there are two other companies who use the same suppliers, yet they have not said anything about this issue. Not only that, on eBay and in the high street you see these plants from these suppliers all the time. The three companies I used are the largest...

African tiger lotus. It is orange and black! If anyone had one please pm me.

I worked with Nathan to produce this report. I am pleased that it is a non biased report and named plantedtanks. It was also fair that we were allowed to comment about this issue and what we have done to stop it happening again.

I can confirm now that all supplies from the far east have withdrawn anubias from sale!

I have taken information from this thread and made it available on my webstore. I hope that others may do the same. http://www.plantedtanks.co.uk/plants-an ... s-17-w.asp

Cheebs and all on the forum... Now we have a known source of the contaminants that are on the plants we import here to the UK - I have decided that at PlantedTanks we are specifically going to cease trading at the end of February with the supplier who uses IMIDACLOPRID specifically. This will...

I can confirm the following information has been provided by the farms in Singapore who supply plants to the UK market. This information has been consulted on with respected persons in this industry. Phytosanitary certification requires the plants to be free of pests and disease prior to export...

I can confirm that we have a response from all three farms we use in the Far East. I will provide the details hopefully by the end of the week.

Grey rocks... Hmmm will look into my stores tomorrow. As for the co2 point taken but the new lighting will be 63w and I have to think of the hairgrass for the future. It will be needed - just at a really low level. Wpg will be 1.6 so it will still be on the low level. Algae should not be too...

I have decided to do a new scape.  This one has taken 2.5 hour to setup. It is a 180l unbranded tank. There is a 1500lph unbranded filter and a 250w heater. 11w lighting and that's it. The lighting is temporary until my new lighting rig arrives. Substrate has been reused - Dupla ground with a...

Tell me about it! Snails are a pain in the ass! My puffers are the size of a bluefin tuna! :o --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=53.781513,-1.060707
