Hi all, I'm going to be ordering a couple of nano tanks next week.... not sure whether to get the Fluval or Eheim tanks... one tank will be planted with a few small fish and the other will house shrimp As I see it: Eheim... + Eheim Quality + Light looks really classy + Neat lighting and...

awesome.... what equipment are you using... and what is this pets at home tank.... surely they don't sell something.... nice? :crazy:

Holy blahblahblahblah! http://www.aquatic-eden.com/2010/11/ada ... ayout.html :O

http://www.rippleswaterlife.co.uk/?cid=145 :/ doesn't seem like you can order them online.... Thanks though.

Does anyone know where I can order a dennerle nano cube 60 in the UK? Seems no one is stocking them? Swell.co.uk had them but they have taken them off the site.. :/

What is in your external filter? Are you using any carbon or chemical media...?

my ex1200 is virtually silent,,, makybe you got a duff one?

Was it noisey? My partner won't tolerate noise of any sort - however quiet - from my tank :?

I just won a hydor ario 1 on ebay for 99p - £3.50 with postage! :D I was thinking of using it as a c02 diffusor... it won't pull air down to the bottom of my tank, but connected to co2 it should whisk up some tiny bubbles... will it be OK?

So... I woke today with that itch... that itch which says 'I can make this aquarium look much better' I scratched the itch and... Well, the results are below. I've tried to balance the brown wood with crypts on the other side... and the Tennellus needs to thicked up somewhat... (apologies...

OMG! Maybe it's burst and the resulting tidal wave has left them both stranded miles from home?

It sounds like you're on the right track... george is right, you generally get a more striking look by not mixing different types of wood and rocks together - the effect can be jarring. That said, a well placed piece of wood or rock can add contrast and tension - not that i'm an expert!! :D

Ah... sorry.

Lovely! Is there any update on the tank? Also, forgive my ignorance, but what sort of lily is that?

It's crypt wendtii brown and becketii brown as you get further right. I think one of the issues is that i planted up for the hardscape without considering how big some of the plants would get... and so the balance is off... and, since i removed the slate the wendtii brown is too far forward...
