    Getting a gravel top layer with Nature Soil.

    Hi, Thanks for the comments guys. For now i have re-scaped and used some slate covered in Riccia to almost cover part of the tank until i can get some decent rocks, i figure once those are in and i plant more heavily then their should not be that much nature soil exposed and hopefully it`ll...

    Getting a gravel top layer with Nature Soil.

    Hi, A couple of months ago i dry started a 60cm scape which grew very well but shortly after flooding i had a big BGA outbreak which resulted in a 4 day blackout.

    Converting an Emersed tank to a Submersed tank.

    Ok cool. Same as before then mate... Any ideas on what might have caused it? Filter i thought would have been matured already. I`m guessing it`s a cycle of some kind? Cheers,

    Using The Dry Start Method

    I did mine not so long ago. I have some ups and downs but it was really easy to do and i`ll definitely be doing it again. Make sure the humidity is high throughout but leave a small hole to let air in as you don`t want it completely sealed. Also make sure the substrate is moist but do not put...

    Converting an Emersed tank to a Submersed tank.

    Hi, Update :) Well after removing the cover the tank looked spotless (well compared to before), the HC has taken a bit of a hit but i`m hoping it will grow back in time. The glass was very clean but i cleaned it and the substrate, plants etc then performed a 90% water change. For the last week...

    T5 Light Comparison Videos

    Hi, Not sure if you guys have seen these but i was trying to find some decent videos to compare lighting between the different brands and types. The nice thing about these videos is that they are all shot exactly the same way. http://www.youtube.com/user/ZooLightpl#p/u Hope this helps :) Cheers,

    grees spot algae on anubias only ? what to do

    Hi, As Garuf says above, get the co2 up and ensure that this is consistent / stable. Mine comes on 2hrs before and 2 hours before lights off with 10hrs of light (4ft tank, pressurised co2 @ 3b/s). I have had this in the past and my issue was flow/distribution/water movement. As soon as i...
