I have now had my tank set up for about a month, how ever I am currently struggling with a slight outbreak of hair algae. Now i know that this tends to be associated with lack of flow/Co2 issues, how ever the vast majority of the algae im getting is on the moss, which is directly infront of the...

As the question says really! Is the above possible? I accidentally bought the wrong sized diffuser and now it only fits on the filter intake as opposed to the outtake. How ever when I connect it to said intake, of just causes water to come out of the intake! Is there any way around this? Thanks

I recently ordered two batches of plants, how ever only the first batch has been delivered, it seems the second may have got lost. I can't really do anything in the tank until I get the rest of the order, as I'm also waiting on a co2 diffuser. What would be the best way to keep the current...

So having recently took order of a 60x40x40cm Optiwhite tank from the guys the The Green Machine I began thinking of what I was going to do with it and came across Tom Barr's manzanita wood, and having family based in the US meant it was pretty easy to get it shipped over. I got some amazing...

Having recently purchased a 60cmx40cmx40cm optiwhite, I am currently undecided on what to do about lighting for the tank. I have been looking at the 2x24w Arcadia system, but that would give me less than 2WPG across an already small tank. What do people think my best option is? All Pond...

As i'm about to set up a new tank, I don't have any access to already matured filter media. Is there anyway to begin the process before i get the tank set up? I'm also going to be using aquasoil in the tank, so ensuring I already have mature media is quite important. Thanks

I am looking into getting a large tank, around 300l (250-300kg) but am unsure on whether the floor upstairs will take the weight. It is quite a large tank, 2 1/2ft wide, so the weight will be spread quite well. Just wondering if anyone has any structural knowledge about what kind of load the...

Just wondering if any has bought anything from this site? Seem to have some pretty good stuff at decent prices. http://www.shrimpking.co.uk/ Cheers Tom

Some of you may remember my 30cm cube from the start of the year, which, unfortunately after a very busy summer fell into a state of disrepair. So, inspired by a number of tanks on here, I decided to completely re-scape it. To go with the new scape, i also bought a Hydor external heater and a...

I am going away tomorow for a week, but im not sure on how to run my tank while im gone. Somehwere will be there to feed the fish, but has very limited knowledge about the dosing. So should i just not dose for a week or ask him to just dose TPN? Or any other ideas? (currently running CO2, full...

My nano tank has been set-up for about 6-7 weeks now and since last week algae has started to grow, I gave it a clean out yesterday and as you can see by the pictures it has grown by back very quickly. Tank is 28 litres 2x11W Arc pods Dosing 6ml Potassium Nitrate 3x week 3.5ml Potassium...

Although my hemianthus callitrichoides is growing well and still looking pretty healthy, some of the leaves are starting to look a bit unhealthy! Im dosing E.I. and i've also upped my CO2 (drop checker already showing 30ppm). Anyone else have any ideas as to what it might be? Thanks Tom

I have been the owner of a 45 gallon tank for som time now, but recently have really struggled to keep it under control just because of a major lack of time. So I decided to go for something a little smaller, a 30cm float glas cube. I made a trip down to the Green Machine( amazing place, amazing...
