Maybe, but we had a problem whereby the laws in our country could be overridden by the EU (think prisoners votes), ultimately we were (currently still are) a state within a superstate in all but name. The problem was that nobody told us and no poliician wanted to admit that is what we had...

Ceratopteris Thalictroides and Hornwort will both do well up to about SG1.003 at 25Deg C.

The thing with studies is that you can always pick holes in the methodology of the experiments and if, as you suggest, there is an absence of 'rigorous' scientific evidence how can you have such a resounding conclusion? It is well known that high levels of atmospheric CO2 for humans causes...

I've had A.Crispus in my tank for a good few years now and yes the best way to trim is to cut the stems as close to the bulb a you can.

Ah yes, that old chestnut. 'I'd like to talk about a tank the size of my living room please, but first if you could just do me a nano...'

Thanks I might give ND Aquatics a shout, I contacted them a few ago when I was looking for a monster tank while I was at my last house and hadn't thought of them for a more 'regular' size. I'll also check out the for sale section, cheers. If anyone has other options as well please. The more...

Now that we are down to 1 aquarium I have managed to negotiate an upgrade to a larger tank with the other half. The problem is finding an aquarium that is significantly larger than the 60 litre that is currently in the living room but isn't going to dominate the room. A 105-115cm long tank...

I used to suffer massively with cyano but when I added more current it disappeared, I've got a fluval 306 on a 60l. As for beak problems; I used to have 2 in the 60l which is twice as many as you should have and the smallest never really had to tackle shells, it would wait until the other had...

I've had the most success with Saggitarian Subulata, Crypt Wendtii, Bacopa Monnieri and Aponogeton Crispus which have been in my tank since day one. I've had a java fern in there for about 6 years but it's tiny due to it constantly producing plantlets. I've had varying success with others but...

My tank is lightly brackish at SG1.003@25DegC so maybe it was a combination of the low light and salt content? It grew for quite a few months in my tank so the salt didn't immediately kill it but maybe it just made it that little bit more difficult, I do suspect that you need a little more...

Unfortunately it died, I only have about 1.5W per (US)G and without CO2 injection I think that it couldn't take up enough ferts to survive, shame because it was a beautiful plant

Good point but to be honest I would prefer a ban on the sale of any aquatic species that grows larger than 30cm.

Fair enough if you're walking in a residential neighbourhood but to say to keep a dog on a lead at all times is bit extreme. I have 2 spaniels and walk them in the New Forest off the lead all of the time like the majority of the dog owners that walk there. We have had one incident in 6 years...

if it's an uncycled tank then it could be the high ammonia and nitrite levels

Re: [IWAGUMI] Scree Evolution - uber lighting I love the look of your tank :thumbup: I'm not a light expert by far but as I understand it the white light produced by fluorescents is made up by combining different colours of the light spectrum whereby LED is a blue light and it is made white...
