My better half is originally from South Eastern Poland. About 2.5hrs drive from the Ukrainian border. I've been over multiple times over the years as she has most of her family over there. Her city have set up make shift refugee camps and pop up sleeping areas in gyms etc. Naturally being so...

I believe they only hand out lengthy services or life in prison for war crimes. The death penalty should be used on many of the criminals the Hague has tried over the years imo. Mind you one thing is accusing Putin of war crimes ( which is obvious he has commited), its quite another getting him...

I've recently started using apt complete. About 2 weeks in now. Seems good so far, if I understood the fert calculator a bit better I'd have a go at copying it. But as I don't this was a safe choice.

Looking good @Wookii . Great project, following with interest, some great plant choices too. 👍

Morrisons and asda sell thin bleach. I've been buying asdas for a while and it's marked up as Savers thin bleach. I would only use bleach on the lily's though, a toothbrush is good for the rocks.

Quality plants as always from @Aquarium Gardens, planting went quite well on Friday night, no dramas except from the normal glued fingers 😀 Some of the crypts have started melting already so I'm doing daily water changes to keep on top of the waste. Few ramshorn snails and cherry shrimp have...

Not that I've found. I had to travel to aquarium gardens. (Worth the trip completely though)

Eleocharis might be the right one then, don't want it to look messy or for the plant to grow literally everywhere, as you say I'll give it a try.

Thanks. I've found Hemianthus micramthemoides to be an extremely fast grower in previous tanks, plus I like to use a few different floaters at start up to help with all the excess. I'm also pondering adding blyxa japonica (in place of the other two) along the rock line which also grows pretty rapid.

Be neither. I realised mine had all died off when I took down my last scape, but I don't really remember them ever having much interest in algae. Dropping a algae wafer in however, that had a different response. Probably won't be stocking them this time around. @Geoffrey Rea thank you for going...

Looking good @Deano3 , those rummynose tetras looking cracking in the scape. Good choice in my opinion.

Thanks. The layout changed slightly due to me not being able to replicate the same scape after removing the card 🙄 I don't have another bit of wood but I think I've removed the empty space to the right by using more rocks and moving the wood slightly. It's currently working through a dark start...

Very interested to see how you bring this back to glory, had something similar happen before and had no idea how to fix it. Is it a case of manual removal and ensuring the co2 and ferts are on point?

I've tried the foam/insulating cabinet, however I still get moaned at about the loud humming noise. I'd switch filters but not sure what my alternatives are really.

I'll try adding some leaves when the tank is up and running again. Hopefully the cories and otos will like the extra food/cover it provides
