I’m not too sure how I would go along with doing this? Any advice?

Thanks, the Onforu 4 pack of 20W looks pretty good for me. How should i attach it over my aquarium as hanging from the ceiling isnt really an option?

Thanks both. From my research I've been looking at the LEDDY SLIM for £80 and would rather stay under if anyone has brand suggestions or other? What do you mean by spotlights? Got any links or anything? I saw a few but they seemed very expensive for something that would cover a small area of...

Thank You everyone, all been useful and realise I've definitely not thought it through as much as I thought. Ill give it another look with these things in mind, cheers

It will be low tech - no ferts or CO2 and mainly mosses, buces, anubias, java fern etc. Thank You

Fragile, more expensive seems generally harder to work with. I wanna play around with this tank a fair bit in terms of modifying/drilling it and acrylic seemed suitable given the low volume but i've never made a tank out of it as you can probably tell lol

I'm wanting to have a go at making a tank myself, and if anyone could run it over with me and have a look at what I'm thinking and spot any problems it would be appreciated. What I'm thinking: Length x width x height (mm) 1000 x 100 x 200 Should hold around 10l as I plan to fill it 1/2 up to...

Sorry if it’s a stupid question and I’m guessing the answer is no but may as well ask. Got one of those mini complete tanks and would like to cover one of my rocks in moss and like the look of the Marimos and feel like it would fit well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Amazing how you’ve managed to fill it out like that. How did you manage to got plant cuttings so small? Also any reason you chose crystal shrimp? Trying to decide what species I should get and just thinking plain cherries right now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just realised I forgot to reply - thanks everyone for the suggestions have ha d a look at them and have found a couple that are exactly what I’m after. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Darrel. If I went with anubias the rhizomes and roots would be underwater, but the majority of the plants leaves out of the water. For an experiment I got some anubias from my planted tank and set it up like that and the leaves turned crispy and dry in about 10 hours. This means my rooms...

I have one of those mini complete tanks. I want to have a central price of driftwood, with a plant on the top and the leaves growing out the tank. I’m *thinking* of 4 Thai microcrabs in the tank and don’t want to dose ferts or Co2. I also don’t want to have to most them or keep them in a humid...

Not fully hollow, but definitely not solid. If I knock on t it does sound relatively light. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Will the interacrews cause any structural problems like weakening the side panels as they are going directly through them. So the side panels will basically have 8 largish is holes directly through it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking for a custom tank, with Optiwhite and the silicone to be neat and tidy, who would you guys recommend? Looked at DC and their silicone is a little unkempt, and currently waiting on a quote from NACD. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They ain’t bad scapes at all, But I see what you mean, or does look kind of sloppy with the silicone, I might shop around see what I can’t get. If it’s the matter of an extra 50 pound for slightly tidier it would be worth it but depends how much others quote. I messaged NACD and am waiting a...

Will be a few months if I dk but I definitely can do that, Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, so you mind showing some pics? Looking for a high tech modern looking aquarium and it will be like a peninsula so really want a kind of crystal clear look so would you recommend staying away from them then? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone’s had experience with DC aquariums, specifically for a custom tank. Just got a quote for a 100cm x 30 x 30 Optiwhite back and sides for 70 pound which seems a lot lower than some non custom aquariums of the same volume so just looking how the build quality etc...

Thanks, think it might be a bit too risky as its pretty split. I reckon Ill just get two of these: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/storage-furniture/shelving-units-systems/kallax-shelving-unit-with-doors-white-stained-oak-effect-spr-59197453/ As they do have pretty thick side pieces so I...

Thanks everyone, doesnt seem worth it. Reason was because I have an old drawer with an old tank so was looking to upgrade both almost at the same time. Space is too limited for a purpose built aquarium cabinet that cant store other things. And plus I'm on a bit of a budget. How about if I get...

How would oyu guys feel about putting a 100x30x30 (90l) on this drawer set from ikea: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/storage-furniture/chest-of-drawers/malm-chest-of-6-drawers-black-brown-art-70103349/ Thanks

Nice, you mean like dried leaves people use to make black water or straight rotting dying mushy leaves you find on the ground? Seems doable either way. It’s gonna be a pretty heavy planted natural setup aswell so this actually sounds really interesting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah right I understand. FWIW though, it does have a large sumpe, almost the same size as the display filled with sponge, carbon, biomedical etc. for any biological filtration. Also the lad almost means evaporation is almost non exists d so surely these two means it stays relatively stable? Plus I...

Yeah this is exactly what I’m looking for tbh. I reckon I’m gonna keep it cold water, So yeah ramshorns, daphnia and Waterhouse sound interesting. Would they all feed off algae pellets and calcium pellets you reckon? That’s my only concern that they wouldn’t survive very long, and I’d rather...

That’s a fair point, the typos do get to a reasonable size. Surely just 2-3 ramshorns wouldn’t be an issue though? If they ever get huge they can got back to my main.

Thanks

Thanks, what did you feed and did it work?

Hi everyone- I recently bought 2 of the Mini Complete Tanks (https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/mini-complete-tank.56196/) <-- nice example there. I was wondering about stocking: Currently I'm just thinking about a single rabbit/Tylo snail. However if there are any other things that could be...

Hi, I have decided to make my 35l tank into a permanent home for my Peacock Gudgeons. I would also like to make it a biotape and therefore am looking at what plants I could have. I am not going to add co2 or any ferts so low maintenance plants needed. Currently I am thinking 1 or 2 pieces of...

right now am Using APF Dry but nearly finished, so wondering when I have to buy now bottles. And am doing between 70-80% weekly so would think water changes aint a problem.

Ah, Thanks for the link to those two :) So ultimately, the test kits are not the best, My actual nitrate is prob only around 20 ? And that it is fine-ish so far. Wha tif I did 50/50 with Complete and light ? So would still get nutrients and a little macro and nitrate. As I think my fish will...

First of Hi, I am new to the forum ! So basically I have a very heavily planted tank( I think) with many fast growing plants, hygrophilla, Elodea and stargrass. The Tank is 64l. I does 2ml easycarbo daily. And currently 5ml of the APF Dry Salt Mix.The problem is I have 40-80ppm Nitrates. Tap...
