Hi all, Iv had a big clear out of my stock, and im in a position to add some more.....but i want something different. My tank is getting heavily planted, with plenty of bogwood. I really would like some suggestions of some fish that are different from the norm, preferably with a bit of...

This looks fantastic, I love the rock work. Looking forward to seeing it grown in a bit. Good job :D

Thanks for the warning, I will keep a close eye, I can always swap it back if it goes pear shaped!! I think my tank is 46 USG.

Thanks guys, really appreciate the comments. My pay day shopping list so far reads - - A collection of anubias - Aponogeton bulbs - Crypts, including balansae. - Nymphea bulb/s Im going to go plant heavy, I like the organized messy chaos look. Also my power pack for the lights arrive on...

Hi, Iv been a member for some time, and have mainly read other peoples work and it has taught me a lot. So I think it is time I put my tank on here because im getting really into the planted aquarium, but im a little bit lacking at the moment when it comes to scaping, plant choice etc. To...

Hi, Was just wondering if anyone has, or has used the aquawave fusion led tubes? Iv just got hold of 2 of the white tubes (the longest ones) to go into my vision 180. Im currently waiting for a power supply to arrive. Many thanks Steve

Crypt parva looks great when tightly grouped at the front too

I have been reading as a guest on this forum for months, then when I decided I wanted a change in my tank I subscribed as a member. I may not comment on loads of things but I read and read and read, then when iv read that I read some more! You will not believe how much ttime and money I have...

Loving the sandy tank with mangroves idea....I may explore this further! Hmmmmmm 8)

I have a large pearl gourami in my tank and I crushed him when I was slotting back my internal filter. Thought I had lost him because he had a horrible red graze, and was swimming very slowly and sideways with laboured gill movements. I put him in quarantine, added a small amount of generic...

I just ordered some today, look forward to trying it out.

Some real food for thought here, I get pretty reasonable circulation with my spray bar, but there is quite a strong current at the top and sometimes my angels look like they are skydiving in water!! I might try the nozzle tomorrow, I would accept reduced velocity, just as long as the flow...

Hi all, Iv currently got an eheim 2217 running on my vision 180 with the spray bar on the side of the tank. Iv managed to get hold of the outlet nozzle from an fx5 (the two nozzles at 90 degrees). Would this be better for circulation than the spray bar? Are there any advantages to having...
