Hi, I have 20 trigonostima espei in my 84 l tank and debate if I should change them for some other fish. I find them too big to really fit into the scape. Boraras will jump out and are too shy. So a bold schooling fish, smaller than the espei, who like to stay in the water is what I'm looking...

Hi! I've been running my new tank for 2 months now and with the help of ottos and amanos I have next to no algae. I thought I would try to either have the lights on a bit longer (7 hours right now) or increase the light (i have a MaxspectRazor dimmed to about 40 %). I'm wondering if one of...

Hi, I've started my fist high tec tank two weeks ago and am still a bit confused about my dropchecker and how to use it. Is my goal that it should be green 24 hours a day or should it vary? Right now it's blue before the light comes on, green in the middle of the light period and green-yellow...

Hi, I've been waiting for two months for my led-lightning to arrive and in the meantime I've had plenty of time to debate my hardscape decisions with myself. Today I came to think about my decision to have white sand as decor in an high tech aquarium. Will there be a problem (especially in the...

Hi, I'm thinking of buying this complete CO2 system for my tank. I however have two eternal filters and would like to push the CO2 through both of the outflow lily pipes. What more should I add to my order to get it to work proparly? Is the list below correct or do I need some other kind of...

Hi, I'm buying my first Co2-system and since it's my first I find everything rather complicated :) Therefore I'm leaning towards a complete system that an expert already have put together like this one with an atomizer diffusor. Now to my question. My tank (journal here) is shallow and long...

Hi, I'm debating which gravel/sand to use together with my rocks. For plant substrate I'll be using ADA Aqua Soil Amazonica but I would like some sand or gravel as décor. I try to find a sand or gravel which looks natural against my rocks but it's really hard to know which to chose just by...

Back at work and so glad that my collegues haven't managed to overfeed/kill my fishes while I were away. Thought I share a picture. No technique, except a spotlight not intended to be aquarium lightning. 8 rasbora birgittae lives there together with some snails. Thinks it's about 13 l. Took a...

Hi, I'm trying to decide which filter to buy for my 84 l tank with dimensions 120 x 32 x 22. There will be quite a lot of hardscape (stones) in the tank (journal can be found here). I want to put an atomizer or reactor on the outlet to the filter. Which filter do you think is best EHEIM...

I’m trying to figure out what LED light to use for my shallow tank. I want something really good, but with a tank that shallow I’m afraid aquarium light of top quality will be too bright. My top candidate has been TMC Grobeam 1500 Ultima but I’ve heard that it gives of a high pitch sound when...

Hope this is the right category to put this thread in… In October 2013 I started a paludarium with a water segment of about 160 l. It’s now inhabited by 2 species of dart frogs (dendrobates auratus and ranitomeya amazonica) and below the waterline mainly Green neon tetras, Marbled hatchetfishes...

I’ve spent the last year drooling over shallow open tanks where hardscape and plants breaks the water surface. I love the extra dimensions it gives the layout. Also, I’m not allowed to have another big aquarium (over 100 l), but with a shallow open tank I can scape both below and under the...

Hi all, I have been searching this forum for a while, admiring all your beautiful tanks and reading up on different topics. Today, when the thermometer showed -10 degrees outside and I'd cleaned away all Christmas stuff I decided to really start with my new high tech tank. I had several tanks...
