    Recommended pincettes?

    That would have been just the right tool for an Amazon Sword I was trying to tame once. After further investigation I discovered various Echinodorus were called 'tank busters' lol

    Recommended pincettes?

    Any love for the Viv brand? https://viv.com.hk/maintenance-tools.html Seems to be the poor man's ADA but still a step up from usual junk I'm going to give some a try

    Cyanobacteria within substrate - should I be concerned?

    Can also spot injection Flourish Excel if you like as well to eradicate

    Help need with sump please

    Guess @Devon kt you need to weigh up how much trouble you are in for spending more money vs for causing a flood ;) You know you are going to be in the dog-box regardless

    What are you using to extend life of rubber filter seals

    Have used this in the past, Eheim Silicon spray. No doubt expensive for what it is but def fish safe. Had a canister filter leak once (2075) due to seals and suddenly got me paying attention! Next time I think I will use food-grade silicon grease

    Help need with sump please

    I am far from an expert, and prob what you don't what to hear, but I would think you need at least one primary drain and one emergency drain. The flow on the primary drain can be adjusted with a tap allowing it to run at full siphon, not taking in any additional air into the sump, and ideally...

    400l mixed community

    Stunning tank and amazing selection of fish - not often I have to google half of them :-) Great to have a local dealer who shares your interests too. I had question on how you deal with cyano on the substrate where it is exposed to direct sun? Has always been a problem for me. I have a love/...

    Never judge a fish by the colour of its skin.

    What a cutie! Wouldn't have thought it but somehow his markings do make him more camouflaged on that substrate. Tank looks beautiful and algae free, what do you plan on feeding this sucker?

    building a 1200L nature aquarium with Wild Discus & jungle-nature feel

    Definitely worth getting it done properly rather than doing a bodge job and stressing about it for the next few years. Good luck with the rest of the project - looks fantastic. Lucky fish.

    I love the artwork above the tank in case you get sick of looking at the tank :p Must be your fish corner.

    Planted tank sump design - need your feedback. :-)

    Oh wow good to hear thanks guys. Cheers @foxfish, good to know I'm not committing any egregious errors. Sumps and CO2 are often considered mutually exclusive and it has been great to hear from people who have been and done this for proper planted tanks. Yes, not looking for better plants, just...

    Planted tank sump design - need your feedback. :-)

    Does anyone have any long-term feedback on their sumps for planted tanks? @Zak Rafik @zozo @Something Fishy . Still using them and happy? I am contemplating a 120g / 550L tank with a Herbie style overflow (Waterbox marine tank). I like the ability to have most everything out of the main tank...

    Found a quality inline german reactor with 16mm connectors

    I've had one for a couple of years with no trouble at all. Works really well and very happy compared to a DIY job or the atomizer I was using previously. I didnt need any PFTE tape but did put some jubilee (?) clips / clamps on the barbs. I found the internal media did clog after a while in my...
