I have attached some Riccia fluitans to a rock in my new nano tank. It's been in there a week and seems to be doing fine, although no O2 bubbles yet. but the tips of each branch have turned a bright, almost emerald, green. Is this normal? It's the first time I have used it. The Christmas moss...

Thanks - will send some photos once set up

Could anyone suggest a list of suitable plants for a 35L Shrimp tank? :? Or point me in the direction of a previous post? Would appreciate it - thanks Terry

Not been on here for some time, and am about to start a nano shrimp tank, (30L 30x30x35). The plethora of available plants is staggering :? . Any advice on a range of plants for this tank - or a link back to a previous article I have not seen? Would appreciate help on this

Nice photo - won't be long before Autumn Watch is back on BBC - you feed the birds regular?

Funny you should say that Ed, but I made a second one last night - from clear plastic! Can't decide what shape to have it yet until the two pieces of redmoor wood arrive fromTGM.

I know some members will think this a real dumb question, but I'm going to ask anyway! :? I want to put a "path" of some sort through my gravel layout. Will the sand and gravel eventually mix? If so, I have an idea to install a barrier between the gravel and sand. The barrier is made of thick...

Just thought I'd let everyone know. Not often you get superb service these days, but Arcadia are spot on. Bought a luminaire about 1.5 weeks ago - left support snapped last Saturday. E-mailed the online supplier and Arcadia Sunday. Received a real nice e-mail back from Arcadia at 0845 yesterday...

Apart from The Green machine, which sells Tropica, what other online plant suppliers can anyone recommend now Greenline Aquatics have closed? Green machine are the best I know, but beyond my ability to pay those prices I am afraid.

Great work JamesC - real helpful too to actually see the effects rather than read about them. Please moderators - stick this one, (in the best possible way!) :D

Has anyone experience of any kind with Heto external filters? I have heard from one guy who has been running one since June, and he seems to like it a lot - so far!

SORRY! George and DAN!!!! :?

Thanks George and Dave - your help really appreciated :)
