Ola all Looking for a JBL spare power adapter as mine has failed. Anyone know where I can get a spare?

I'm just north of London

Quick update

So started last night and set up the led as well. Added a pinch of jungermannia Moss to it as well. Not expecting a change tonight but hey, a man can hope

Ola all So went to the local garden centre on the weekend and got a LARGE Stewarts Electric Propagator for £23 and two trays for £2 each so all and all a bargain I think. Set it up last night with some Miracle Grow Fertiliser and let it soak whilst on overnight and added some more water this...

Mine is on a timer and no matter what I do it wont shut up. Sometimes when i fiddle with the tightening knob it quietens down, but otherwise not.

Ola all My Solenoid makes a HORRID noise when its on, how can I stop this or is it broken?

I remove everything from the tank and use a dragline effect with my large nets otherwise I manuall catch one by one... Adding food to the tank 10 minutes prior will net you more shrimp initially.

Finding the carpet plants is the trouble....

The substrate will over some of the rock so hopefully there will be a lush green carpet over it all... Might be changing my plant plans as I just saw a red dutch scape....

Oh forgot about that. Ill be stocking it with loads of Sakura Red Shrimp, CRS and Snow Whites Fish wise Ill be looking at Celestial Pearl Danios and/or Chilli Rasbora

So got a lovely Aquanano 40 from a fellow Forum member after first buying all his Seiyru stone (spelling) and using those on the 200. So to the tech details: Tank: Aquanano 40 (55liter) Filter: JBL CrystalProfi E401 (ill be replacing this on the 90 liter with a APS 1000EF) Pump: All Pond...

Ola peeps Selling two of my shrimp breeding tanks and want to offer shipping. Who/what can I use to ship tanks? Thanks

Ill drop you a message

i can post....

Ok due to not finding thin bleach at any local store around me, can I use thick bleach?

You checked with Green Machine yet?

I got the previous one and its my planting bible

Ta. Thanks loads

Will it not eat into the plastic?

Thanks Lee Can I buy this at my local ASDA?

Ola everyone Was wondering what the correct process would be to clean a bizooka diffuser? Im currently soaking it in vinegar, should I do the whole bleach thing?

Quick update Some mini pelia Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Awesome Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Ola peeps, update, just installed a little powerhead below the main external output but close to the base of the tank working a charm and upped the bubbles so 1.5 per second. Lets see what happens

Ta thanks m8. Ill try upping it. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

The plants affected are right in the majority of the flow Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Thanks all. My CO2 is constant, I will add another pump to get some flow through the left hand side. I clean the tank 1-2 times a week. Should I up the CO2 a little? (i have lime green on the checker)

Hello All Been running the high tech for 2-3 months now (i think) and been on the changes etc. Bubble counter running at 1bps (90 liter+-) and lights on for 7 hours a day currently with the CO2 coming on 2 hours before and shutting down 2 hours before lights off. Started dosing EI a few weeks...

Some updates on what she looks like now :) Please excuse these were taken on my Nexus 5 Some moody shots when the skylight did something special... Back to normal: Little java fern got big! Full (un colour balanced) shot: Stunning mini pelia from Michal: Monte Carlo has really taken...

Hydrocortle is going NUTS and the Monte Carlo is such a pretty little plant. Will be doing a trim this weekend and maybe planting more hairgrass, just looking for some Tropica 1,2, Grow. Will post pics soon as.

Do you just keep them in very hard water or do you actually add salt for extra gravity?

No I've just been siphoning and doing water changes... Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Thanks lexy. I added some mini pelia to the Redmoor on the left as well as some of my super rare Moss (will get name later) This weekend I will be trimming the plants and adding a bit more micro sword to the back. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I'm very proud of this and it's taking shape nicely. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

So quick question, the last week or so it seems as if my water is murky, or at least slightly white and the leaves on the Anubias Coffii is full of dirt, is this a form of algae? Note: i have not touched the filter

Aw man.... I might tried it above the water line as it is mighty pretty Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Awesome. Thanks for the replies guys, I might try them in a spare tank or outside the tank. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

What is this moss and can I use it in my tank?

Some updated pics:

Thanks m8. Was just afraid it would die back like Vallis etc.

Anyone with ideas on trimming the dwarf Swords?

So, had a look at PH drop over the course of 4 hours and im experiencing a 0.4 to 0.6ph drop. This alright?

Another question: what is the best method to trim dwarf sword and syphoning without pulling plants?

Losing one sakura shrimp a day... Strange the stock from my which I moved from my other tanks are still doing fine (painted reds). That'll teach me not to buy cheap Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Ceg, that small tank can't get co2 now, I'll see if I can add another timer to it. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Thanks m8. I think ill just get a skimmer for this tank.

Hello All Got a lot of hair algae in my Fantasy Blue Jelly tank (24x8x8 in) which has a Arcadia Series 5 LED fitted. Has anyone got any experience with H2O2 and Fissidens?

Hey all, just a quick question, should my drop checker still be dark green first thing in the morning? Also, I've seen people spray a very diluted mix of h2o2 on the surface to combat algae and surface film, is that a good idea? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Added a Siamese Algae Eater today (bad pics i know but he keeps moving and im using the Nexus...) He is quite nosey....

I must say, I havnt really moved out of the fishroom today... Its just amazing seeing the plants pearl (slowly but surely) and the Otto's and Shrimp doing their thing. Along with that the Bazooka Diffuser is just amazing, almost no bubbles touch the top of the tank. Shrimp are moulting...

Starting to go green.... Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Thanks again Tim. I'll take a video Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

1 and a half hours into co2. No lights yet. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Thanks Tim, its a 80-90 liters +- Turning either knob changes the bar value though. Im currently on 3bar with just over 1 bps and my drop checker is a dark blueish green blue...

So I quickly turned it on, got the bar to read 3.5 to 4 and got the bubbles (according to an online metronome) to be 1bps. Then I turned the timer on again and this will now activate in about 50 minutes. Will it slowly start with the diffusion, or straight away?

Alastair, can you elaborate on that please? Should I turn the left small knob till I get 1 bps and then turn the big knob to still maintain 3 to 4 bar? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Just installed the CO2 and boy... its a bit of a task. Please advise if Ive done anything wrong or any tips you guys can give me.

Well I think its coming along. A big water change helped today with the brown on the substrate as well for some reason, but I might cut down on lighting if it doesnt come right with the CO2 being installed tomorrow or Saturday

Also red army is in and the horned nerite snails as well. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

If I start the co2 tomorrow will that help? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

The gear I have for the tank co2 arrived today and its awesome. Thanks to @CO2Art.co.uk for the quick turn around and amazing gear.

Hey everyone, getting a bit of brown algae on the substrate now and im planning on doing another 25-50% water change tomorrow. Would this be the best course of action? Also connecting up a FE system this weekend for CO2 and will keep you up to date.

Perfect. Thanks for the info Tim Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Question time: Ill be fitting this with a FE CO2 system, can you guys advise me on BPS for this volume?

Unipak Black Microgravel

Some updates: Some new and existing members of the tank, still waiting on the Sakura Army

Pictures will be uploaded soon Did a 50% change this week and added all the shrimp from my low tech into this. Not much but will have to do whilst I wait for my Sakura Army. Video uploaded though:

No I'm not adding taller plants. Will be adding some left over crypts tonight to the bottom of the wood. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

So after a long battle with everything from camera and PC gear giving up on me and re-doing the shrimp rack I have finally made up my mind and decided to do the Juwel Rekord 96 as its my first tank and I dont wanna sell it... ever. Sorry for pictures, Ill get better ones and the video will be...

Just spent what feels like eternity doing up my old Juwel Rekord. This is going to be the Fancy Shrimp demo tank and has now been used to house the JBL and APS gear I got to review. After the workshop with George and the awesome members of UKAPS and Sharnbrook Shrimp I must say I was wayyyy...

Thanks loads for that Darrel Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Ola peeps Anyone have any experience growing these emersed or as normal? Any tips would be welcome. Jungermannia truncata and Climacum japonicum Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Hello all Anyone used Seachem Flourite Sand / Normal in their tanks? Does it affect TDS or ph?

Ok so no Manado then. ANyone have sansibar and shrimp?

Hello all Anyone have experience with JBL Manado or JBL Sansibar with Caridina shrimp? Thanks

700D is a great piece of gear. You could go for a used 650D to save a few pennies and get some better glass instead (lenses)

Hello Everyone, just set up a new twitter account, but I need people to follow who are NOT lady gaga etc etc. Whats your twitter handles? Just in case, here is mine: FancyShrimp (Fancy Shrimp (FancyShrimp) on Twitter) I will be updating the pics and stuff this weekend.

Wow, this is a weird problem to have. Crushed coral will up the PH... you could try a calcium only suppliment, like the new Fluval stuff I stand corrected

Is that 7.6 from tap and after being left for 24 hours to let the buffers wear off?

Well Roly, Amano, Cherries etc etc will all get on fine in there. Shrimp fry will get into the filter itself so be aware of that. Chuck the plastics though and put a nice piece of Redmoor around the tube and plant it. Just be aware of the maintenance process which might need to take place. You...

I started with a BiOrb 30 and they are good tanks for guppies and plastic plants.

Welcome!

Shrimp on the alfagrog aint fun. That tank is a bit small even for Micro Rasbora. The filter cartridge, no need to replace it, squeeze sponge and keep the zeolite and carbon pellets in there. You can run as said Java Fern and Anubias in there with a smile without a heater along with some...

@monk, thats an epic story about your dad! Big respect.

I used to play drums, then learnt bass and a few years ago got into guitar, but in the last 3 years havnt touched it so keen to get back into it. Cant remember 3 chords though. Going to be using the Justin Guitar method again.

Juwel Tank is ready and cleaned. Now just awaiting lava rock and substrate.

Hello all Well JBL just sent me a box full of stuff containing a external fitler and an undergravel heating wire set + more stuff. I have to review these, so Ill be converting one of my tanks as the testing tank. I need your help in selecting what Im going to do and what I will guage as...

Well done Dan and the UKAPS crew! They mention me... well to a degree

Hello guys Im looking for a co2 kit which will work on my 8x8x24 (inches) tank. What would you recommend and what will it cost me?

Got them all, but I don't like selling my Btoe, such a little horror to keep. I just haven't had lilac with tigers Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I do Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

OMG....

@alastair, did you use some of my / Scott Kelby's advice?

Lory, thanks for that. Im trying to but I forget :) There is most def a big change in the health of my plants.
