Hi guys, does anyone know how to make a tree with moss so that they grow in an all rounded direction without looking like a mess? I've tried one with spider wood and I can only say I've done a miserable job; they look like a ball of mess! Here's what I mean: The next one I want to try will be...

Thanks all for the heads up! I got a new drop checker in the end and all my problems were solved. ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks @Dan-CR4! The article was very helpful! I'll get myself some 4dKH this evening! :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The instructions just say to use aquarium water. And the solution is yellow in color, and it does not say what its contents are. I just read that 4dkh is a combination of bicarbonate and distilled water. I'm supposed to put that in there with this solution? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, I just got a CO2 drop checker yesterday but I can't seem to get it to work. I suspect it has got to do with it being substandard quality. The solution is yellow in color and I'm supposed to use five drops of that, and fill the rest of the vial with aquarium water. One whole day in the...

This was by the way really backbreaking work. To stoop over the tank to insert the HG was a real glut training exercise. Haha! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And it's done finally! Thankfully my fish weren't too stressed about it; managed to keep disturbance to a low level. Here's the new look! Comments please! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So today is the day I set my tank right! Here's what I did on the lovely advice of you guys. I took out the tree, I smashed the rocks to smaller pieces and I separated the clumps of HG into smaller bunches and trimmed them. Here's a pic! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your tank sounds like a Nanotank, much like mine. If that is the case, your combination of rock and wood may have to be used sparingly. Either the wood or the rock should be the centrepiece, so you have to decide on that, and then decide which to get more of. Like a lot of wood and some small...

Well pictures would help us tell if it will gel or jar. ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine wasn't any better @kirk! :) here's what mine looked like before venturing into Aquascape. In any case, yeah I'll relocate the tree to my other tank, and use a hammer to break the rocks into smaller pieces, and allow the HG to populate more areas. In other words, just one big rock and...

Thanks Mick, Christian and Julian for the advice! I'm so glad I posted it here, there are so many knowledgeable ppl who can help! Ok so I have another medium sized rock which I can switch out the left rock for; it's smaller than the one in there now but bigger than the bottom right one. I'll put...

Thanks Troi! I wish I had put more thought into it but I had the fish staying in it already, and they were so stressed in the bucket I had to complete the look in a day and put them back in. They seem happy enough anyway, but I shall give it another go when this batch of fish have lived their...

Thanks Paulo. I hardly know the terms to use as I'm new to the hobby and new to forums. Do you mean what goes into my tank interns of hardware? I have a CO2 unit for Nanotanks (that's the tube you see at the left hand corner) and the LED light was provided along with the tank. Looks bright...

Wonderful tank! 4th attempt gives the eye a good flow of focus. Very natural looking! The substrate looks like the granules are quite big. Might give problems holding the plants down (my plants floated up right after I added water), but maybe with the dry start method things may work fine (wish...
