Re: Tonys 'Triassic Hollow' 420L Hi Tony, I know this doesn't strictly apply to this tank, but I have a Discus tank 350l and was wondering where you purchased your Discus for the precious tank setup as they were awsome colourations an quality? I'd really like to know. Cheers Kev.

Thanks Chris the link explains all. Regards Kev.

Atomiser looks interesting, any chance of explaining how it all fits together? Regards Kev.

Hi, The hairs are part of the plant, the hairs are what they use to extract vital nutrients from the water. any fish that likes vegatable matter will certainly eat these hairs away as SAE's did on mine. The plants will live after hairs have been eaten but will not thrive to their true potential.

Yes, I think I will only be using 1 t5 as I want quite a blackwater, shady kind of feel and won't need too much lighting as am not intending to plant into the substrate. In my planted I use 1 reddish hue tube with 1 daylight spectrum.

Sorry George, just noticed the lighting on the link you provided. Cool. Thanks Kev.

Thanks for your help guys, I do have a consistent limeade green colour now in my drop checker!!

Hi All, Where would be the best place to get Cryptocoryne balansae and Blyxa? If anyone has any they are getting rid of I would gladly pay for it! Regards Kev.
