What do people do with the trimmings when they tidy their tanks up, I don't like the idea of binning them as I'm sure someone will find some use for them, Is there a trading thread on here?(after my 25 post rule I'm sure I will find one) I have recently got some plants of friends and have too...

I have a co2 art solenoid valve on my azoo regulator, (I know it's not the reg liken the thread is posted for) but it's been very good, I've had a few orders now on co2 art and possible another this week for a bubble counter. What need is there for the adjustable pressure? Is this for inline...

I also use the jbl indicator, Being a newbie it's very easy to use, and understand, I'm hoping that I can have a play with my needle valve and note down the levels of co2 in the tank on the indicator to how many bubbles per minute Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here on the island we don't really have many breeders that I'm aware of, I recently went to maidenhead here and purchased 6 cherrys, there was a few browns in the same tank but I asked the assistant for 6 RED cherrys, his reply was, they are all cherries so it doesn't really matter... I...

I'm new to co2 injection so maybe my comments are justified with experience I have my lights ( twin 24w t5) come on at 4pm and go off at 10pm, In this time I have my co2 come on at 3pm and off at 9pm. I haven't played about with other timing but my plants seem to be thriving from it with lots...

Thanks guys, Seems to be a nice cutting so far, the lower leaf isn't in top condition as it can out a rather low tech tank with standard lights(t8?) no co2 so hoping things will improve with my setup Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have recently re vamped my tank and someone local to me was having a trim in his tank and I brought some cuttings off him, the plants was cabomba, a few ferns, as other odds and sods, Within the selection he gave me a couple of cuttings from a red plant he has. But....no one seems to know...

Really like the rock layout, looks very natural and flows well It's a shame the central rock is in the dark, I'm sure the photo does it no justice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Scratch gauge with bluing ink on the tip but cover the pipe in masking tape first!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks guys, from what I've seen of other peoples setups on here a bit embarrassing and boring, but it's my first attempt at growing plant and using it as a learning curve Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good evening guys.. Just won't to introduce myself My name is Phil and I'm from the Isle of Wight, I have recently re vamped my very low tech tank to make it more suitable for plants and fish, but mostly concentrating on plants at the moment. I will add some of my information to the relevant...
