Thanks Ceg.

My Java fern rather than growing seems to be constantly producing plantlets with the fern having a fully plantlet look rather than the true plant, any advice as to why the plant has gone into this constant state?I've never been able to grow Java Fern successfully unlike most other plants. Tank...

I've used the Tesco one, however would now like to dress it off with sand as I've noticed I deterioration on my Sterbais barbels compared to the sterbai I have in my breeding tanks with sand. Could it be the coarseness of the cat litter or something else??? What gravel tidy do you reccomend to...

I'll defo being going back, bought some pygmy corys loved the place.

Cheers, I keep home bred BN's in my discus grow on tanks and feed them cucumber and halved wash potato, but fancied something different in my planted tank. I've been breeding Sterbai so have plenty of corys in there, plus half a dozen Ottos, may give the Clown plec ago. Was in Rare Aquatics...

Would I get away with some Gold Nugget Plecs or similar dwarf plecs in a planted tank??

Thanks Tom just what I was looking for.

I've dropped the Mercury Vapour for an over the tank 4 tube T5 unit, it's off a reef tank so currently has two blue tubes, one white and a yucky green looking tube, whats the best tube combo going forward for a planted tank?

These MV units have a switch to change to 80w really concerned over the ruinning costs of them so still looking for alternative bulbs for them. Would these be out of the question with the balasts: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Daylight-Energy ... B004V8G7GS

Will probably give this a shot over the cat litter as its almost as cheap but without the need to rinse, rinse and rinse.

Thanks Darrel, I've emailed CP Lighting twice without reply, I'll call them when I've got the tank a bit more set up.

yes but with what results anyone?

Anyone had any success with Moler Clay? its so cheap but only if it works I guess.

Thanks DW, when you say direct replacement do you mean simply swap the MV bulb in the unit for a 125W MH? thanks for the link are these bulbs suitable for plant growth i.e. spevtrum etc? excuse my ignorance on the subject, do they need lowering down a bit?. Remember seeing lots of pics with...
