Hi there, My cherries simply won't stop breeding and whilst I keep taking them back to the LFS and getting dry food in return I now have so much dry food that I don't actually need any, so I was thinking about starting to sell some as it may be a more constant way of reducing my herd (there are...

I think I've decided to start of with 4 and then get that settled and decide if I want to add in the right side at a later date. Thanks

Thanks guys. I really hope I can get it looking along the lines of the influence, its such a beautiful tank

Its at 30 x 15 x 12 Clearseal. i'm currently swinging more to 5 but then quite like the look of the 2 bushes that you get in 6

hello all, I would like to try and create a moss only tank having been inspired by the following aquarium: So which of the following compositions of the wood do you think is best? (I don't want to put the substrate in until i've decided on the layout as there will be 2 layers of substrate) 1...

Heya, its been a very long time since I have been on here, but nothing has been happening to my tank due to lack of funds. However I have just purchased a Clearseal 30x15x12" tank this weekend and would like to create something like the tank below which I believe was done in a 24" tank; My...

Ok, no sand then. I want to make my life easy not harder and knowing me I'll change the layout plenty of times over the years! The reason I was thinking of using the powder though, hence ADA and not things like florabase is that I have pygmy cories and I don't want them digging in the...

Perfect, can't wait to get started with it, but going to take it slowly! Will keep you posted. Anyone think I should stick with the external? Oh and also if I have all the substrate planted up, do you think I could just put normal play sand on to of the aquacare instead of the ada powder...

Grrrr second attempt at writing this. Ok going to go back to a 24" tank after being bored of the restrictions with my arc tank. It will be placed on a breakfast counter in the kitchen. I'm going to keep things simple, so this is what I'm planning on so far: TNP+ and Easycarbo for fertilisers...

Sorry guys I haven't been on here for absolutely months! I used to feed them frozen and live food, mostly bloodworm, they sucked on them like a piece of spagetti, very funny to watch. Unfortunately I don't have them anymore. I was struggling with the upkeep of the aquarium so turned it into a...

Thanks guys. They get along great with the shrimp, don't bother them at all, although I had some colomesus asellus puffers which went on the rampage when I tried them with some ghost shrimp. I think the dwarfs are just too small, they'd rather pick at small snails or bloodworms.

Well, since I started planning this tank in January and it's my first planted tank and i've had all sorts up with it and constant re-scaping, I thought I should put up a picture of how it is looking at the moment, finally, after all the help that you guys have given me, thankyou so so much. It...

thanks for that, I'll have a search on those links. :)

So I have this alcove, which a normal tank just won't fit into properly, so have been thinking about getting one made, or doing it myself, kind of. Anyway, my question would be if I get the glass all cut for me and then I silicone it together, is that all that needs to be done, or do I need a...

Just to let you know that I spoke to a friend on another forum that has used the wormer plus with her puffs and the shrimp were unaffected.
