Lovely set of tanks. How long has the drip wall been established?

Needs more detail shots!

Could I ask where you get your dry ferts? And what amounts / spoons you dose?

Some interesting ideas here. http://bugs.bio.usyd.edu.au/learning/resources/Mycology/Habitats/aquaticFungi.shtml Aquatic mycelium eating the leaves and creating food for our shrimp and fry.

Ive got a couple of tons available if anybody wants a bagful. :)

I've got a couple of ottos and around 5 cpd's in my ever expanding cherry colony. Plenty of moss and leaves give plenty of hiding and keep the cpds well fed.

Right then! Off with a bag :)

Have found a lovely turkey oak dropping leaves which have the same waxy polished feel as the Indian almonds. Are you thinking this is the same Mediterranean Oak?

Mmm doesn't sound good. I'm going up in a couple of weeks so ill report back :)

Mixed with 20 mm leca and osmocote in a heavily planted (stems, java and floaters) low tech it's been fine for a couple of years. Got some slight blue green cyanobacteria on the east facing window side of the tank over the last summer but it's receded now the days are getting shorter. Never...

Got mine from oasis aquatics in Salford. Bit fiddly when first plugged into the mac but soon addressed the order in which things should be done to keep the browser from failing. My one reservation is that it is cloud based and if the sites down or your Internet connection is, no programming...

Lovely shots. My exact stocking as well! Although my tank doesnt look quite as... refined. Must be something in the water up here. Ive spotted fry from the CPDs. Hopefully theyll survive. Have you had a look around the aquarium at Bolton Museum? He's got a tank full of cpds in there.

Ha! Snap! And I just bought 30 C. Pygmies a couple of weeks ago and haven't lost one. I'll have to have a trip upto WyeVale.

What about Daves Aquarium!? The smells a bit much but theyve started to get some interesting fish in recently. Mudskippers anyone?
