I'm off in a week any last minute tips? planning on going to Bangkok, Phuket, Phi Phi islands and a short 2 day trip to Kanchanaburi See this link to find out one of the biggest reasons! http://192.38.244.204/article.asp?type=aquaristic&id=851 Anyone with experience of shops, public aquaria...

What plants would hobbyists consider to be rare? I'm talking plants that are available in the trade outside the UK but not supplied by UK or European nurseries like Aquafleur/Tropica and only obtainable via import or private sellers. I'm thinking things like all the Eriocaulon species and fair...

Any Maidenhead get a custom seashell aquarium to exact specifications, they can do braceless and optiwhite (cheaper just to get front pane optiwhite.) Usually a fairly reasonable price but silicone work isnt always amazing although it can be cleaned up fairly easilly with a blade. If you specify...

Has anyone actually had any luck growing the plants in them with the LEDs yet? They are a bit pricey for what they are really and if anyone has seen PFK (online) there are now 4!!! Versions of this from different companies all pretty much the same but varying in price.

Im double/tripple dosing easycarbo with a few Crystal red shrimp in a VERY high CO2 environment (So high I cant keep fish in there) they are all healthy breeding and feeding as normal.

I have just spoken to OATA regarding a seperate matter and the man at the other end of the phone said that these plants are not yet banned and are currently being "looked at" regarding banning and it would be at least 8 weeks if not more before we actually see a change in law.

Not much really! That is where the filter intake normally sits (I took it off to take photos) there is a stem plant there which I am unsure what species it is that has not really done a great deal of growing. I'm waiting for the stems around the back to grow out still so that I can start pruning...

Damn Elodea and Water Lettuce?! Two REALLY big sellers when it comes to coldwater/pond plants. Already informed my collegues about this but its very strange, no warning and all the major UK suppliers and wholesalers of pond plants are still stocking/selling it.

Re: Swamp Creek - established 20/04/2010 Great job with the tank, hardscape looks great! Interested to see how this grows out as there have yet to be many larger planted tanks set up using LEDs only.

Iv used them for all sorts of things, Extra large breeding traps, planters, storage, mini pico tanks, DIY filters the list goes on! Going to get a few more next week, think I have got through about 10 of them! Also check out the timers they do at Ikea, very handy because they are slimline unlike...

Andy C/Hyper D jungle set from a 1997 One Nation tape pack

I had a few nano tanks in my dorm when I was at college but we werent allowed any fish or inverts (plants only) and idiots kept pouring drinks or ferts into the tank when I wasnt looking so most of them were just a mess of algae. I did however have a sneaky one in my cupboard for a while...

Those ikea "spice racks" are amazing, so many uses! I was going to attatch them directly to the wall with some kind of hook resting on the edge of the aquarium which is around 5cm away from the wall and suppourts it nicely. I was then thinking about cutting up the same pebbles I used in the...

Another update, again pictures (and editing) aren’t too great as I am still stuck using my camera phone! Tank will have been filled 3 weeks come Sunday and the growth from all the plants is fantastic! Added a few more stem plants in favor of the hair grass that was in there initially which...
