    I have a few set up questions...

    Hi, I'll try to keep this brief, but I have a few issues, maybe I can wrap them all into one thread... 1) My bubble counter looses water - fast. It's a standard issue co2 art "with built in check valve". I removed it while full of water the other day and water literally drips from the bottom...

    New Setup... Advice Please...

    Hi, I haven't posted here in years, since I went plantless for a while, but now getting back into it on a more low-tech setup. Could you please let me know if I'm heading in the right direction, or am I about to mess this up (again)? I have the tank set up and running for a month or two now...

    Tiny White dots...

    Hi, These tiny little white dots have been settling on / sticking to every surface in the tank for a while now. Not the glass, but wood, rocks, plants... I was hoping it was just a temporary flourish of something that would clear up, but it's still happening. They brush off with no effort, but...

    Why can't I grow moss...?!

    Hi, I have tried and tried! My dog sized piece of wood look ridiculous without a good covering of moss all over the top, but it just won't seem to grow...! It did once, but I had horrible hair algae, so I sprayed liquid carbon directly all over it and in a day ALL the moss died! Lesson learned...

    Background plant suggestions please

    Hi, I've been struggling with (amongst other things!) my background plants for a long time now and I'd like to re-think altogether. My current set up was designed for my lack of experience (and talent) and busy schedule work, baby, other kids... life! At the moment I have Echinodorus Bleheri...

    Spray bar or no spray bar?

    Hi, (I am injecting co2 via an in-line atomiser into the outlet of my filter.) I currently use the spray bar on my Eheim Pro 3 2075 (600) in a vertical position pointing straight across the back of my 110cm long 340l tank. The inlet and outlet are both in the right back corner. I have a power...

    Background Crypts Struggling...

    Hi, After all my stem background plants got spindly and ugly and outgrew the tank every few days, I decided to go for a more leafy, lower maintenence background option. I started again and planted a combination of Echinodorus Bleheri and Cryptocoryne Balansae across the back, thinking they'll...

    Is there a market for out of date FEs?

    Hi, I may have stumbled across a (legitimate) source of cheep out of date 2kg fire extinguishers... Is this something people would want to buy off me...? More to spread the love than to earn money. My guy doesn't want to deal with lots of people, so I could act as a middle man and we can all...
