    Plants from Hong Kong

    Hiya All, I have family who live in Hong Kong a couple of train stops from Gold fish Market. My brother said he would send me plants if I would like them. He said it would take a week to get them here, so would plants like Fissidens and Anubias petite survive for that long in a box or any...

    A Little Corner Project

    I've tied my wood down once in the past, but found I could never get the wood to look right and as it was tied down it was almost impossible to tweak or adjust, also I've taken wood out in the past to clean and to rearrange the scape. On another note, I now have had input from my wife who says...

    A Little Corner Project

    Thanks, I'll definitely use your suggestions in my tank, I've always used java moss in the past, Fissidens fontanus looks really good and the other mosses will make a nice fun change! :thumbup:

    A Little Corner Project

    Thats another good idea to take into consideration, I've just dismantled my scape to soak the Redmoore root so it doesn't float or move, this is the painful stage as I know it takes what seems like a life time. I'm gonna buy a big dustbin at the weekend so I can sink the wood deeper and put some...

    A Little Corner Project

    Thanks for the info on the soils, I don't think i'll be using any of these then for this particular scape, I'm looking at eco complete at the moment mainly because I've not tried it yet. I wouldn't mind having a sand or gravel front and use eco complete for the back, but I just know i would end...

    Thanks allot, I'm now thinking of using sand at the front and maybe Malaya Aquasoil at the back and centre so I can get some stems growing, just a thought at the moment! Your corner tanks are really awesome, could you tell me which substrate you used for both of these? One looks like eco...

    Obviously needs allot of work in terms of hardscape design, however this gave me the idea.

    After lots and lots of consideration I finally made the decision to take down my aquarium, mainly due to the fact that I have so little time these days to look after it the way I have done in the past.

    Now that is something i never thought of and an excellent idea... I like it :thumbup:
  76. Timms2011

    How often do you replace your heaters?

    My issue with the heaters was more the malfunction leading to over heating and killing my fish more than not bringing the aquarium up to temperature, but the two heater approach for a more even temperature sounds interesting... Awesome Vision 450 you have there by the way :thumbup:
  77. Timms2011

    How often do you replace your heaters?

    Good call Mark, i tried the heater-free approach last night and the temperature of the tank stayed almost the same all through the night,however as my house feels more like a freezer in the colder periods of the year, I'm going to keep a hold of my heaters.

  80. Timms2011

    How often do you replace your heaters?

    Good idears, but what I was actually hinting at was do you wait before your equipment packs-up or something goes wrong before you replace it, or do you exercise extra caution and for example replace say a heater annually to reduce the likelihood of overheating your Tank?
