Looks like a Galaxy cross with this (Emerald Dwarf) http://www.tropical-fish-keeping.com/emerald-dwarf-rasbora-microrasbora-erythromicron.html#sthash.BwSH2awG.dpbs Note the spot near the tail fin.

There are some shots of the cabinet. It's still in the protective wrapping. You'll see the cut-outs to the rear left and right top rear corners. There is also a hole to the rear right (for a sump) which i can use for the doser pipework. Also a cable entry to the lower LHS. As you can see...

You'll need to consider the size of the tank you're running and how you're going to deliver the co2 into the tank. You don't say what size, but a paintball bottle won't last long on a 260l tank. Bio is lower pressure so can limit your delivery methods.

I purchased this one a week or so ago https://www.amazon.co.uk/WAVE-Coated-Cabinet-White-Lacquered/dp/B0186ZU0BO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499117521&sr=8-1&keywords=WAVE+Coated+Wood+Cabinet,+90+x+45+x+80+cm,+White+Lacquered The same make as recommended by Ryan. It's a dense fiber board, so it's...

Is thats a very slender looking concrete lintol supporting a chimney? Nice neat DPM work. :)

Personly, I would never place a tank on the floor, in my house or shed it's likely to receive damage of some sort.... sooner rather than later! If you want break-up the sight line, go for a lower stand so it's rased off the floor, but lower than the others.

Was this recently?

Agreed. Looks like a Rosy Tetra to me.

If you don't like the idea of gas (for whatever reason) you could try liquid carbon.

Hi Simon, my understanding is that green light will have a negative affect on your plant growth, so I would advise against translucent green plastic. Green light is least effective to plants as most plants reflect green light and absorb very little. It is this reflected light that makes them...

How many £££££'s do you want to spend and what are you looking to achieve? Give us some idea of size, high /low tec. etc. Before you buy the cabinet, make sure it can house everything you want/need - particularly the pump. If you want the pump hidden, the size of the cupboard is all...

In my humble opinion it doesn't "kill" the BBA/GSA, but getting everything correct (lights, flow, co2 etc) means your plants out compete it. So with maintenance algae is eventually removed.

It is possible to have elevated levels of copper in drinking water - however it is unusual and normally only affects the water that is "standing" in the pipework. See the link below for full details as it depends on lots of factors. If you do notice a blue discharge from your tap (which...

I use fly tying cotton (as I also tie flies) it's fine, strong and slightly waxed. As it comes in many colours you can match it to the colour of the wood .
