Another one to add today, banana. The shrimps and swordtails particularly enjoyed that! Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

Hi all, I stumbled across this I thought may be of interest https://shop.grohe.co.uk/kitchen-accessories/grohe-blue-co2-bottles/ It's an undersink sparkling water system, but the bottles appear to be sodastream type. The outlay for the first 4 bottles is the same as soda stream, but the...

You can buy some really long brush on a spring type things for cleaning hoses, mines about 1.5m in length. I don't disconnect to clean. Failing that, I run some hot water through them at high pressure which seems to clear most of it. Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

Brocoli florets and stems, peas, courgette actually most veg! Whenever I see a mozzie I slap it and throw it in. I've never given them anything processed that's not fish food. Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

I've tried to do a carpet in the past, but with T8s, no fert routine and liquid carbon. It seems to work for some people but not for me. I've been working on this tank for about 3 years, been through a few iterations. It's finally where I want it. I've battled all the algae under the sun/lights...

Still waiting for the eleocharis to grow in, but this is mine. Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

Me! My wife loves the tank, I catch her staring at it, she loves how the kids interact with it and help feed the fish too. But when I get excited about a new piece of tech/fish/plant whatever, I get the look! Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

I been looking at mine recently and wondering the same thing. I put it down to the available co2 simply not being used. I'd love to know if it's something else though! Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

That's a great link. I must admit I was just seeing algae and not much plant growth before nervously increasing glut dosing. I've been slowly increasing for a while until I'm up to 10ml daily into a 90 litre tank. None of my livestock seem to be effected, the plants were growing well but...

That's a good one! Do you ever need to replace the bands? Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

Yes, I fitted the reg and it just fell over straight away. Absolutely no way it'd stay upright without support! Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

Thanks! Took some finding but I'm pleased it works, hopefully it'll help someone else too! Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

Hi everybody! Just thought I'd share this with you all, I hunted high and low for an easy solution to my sodastream co2 cannister stability. It kept falling over and I had to prop it up with the external filter. So without further adue: The clip... And installed... I used 50mm tool...

I'd second that they're just settling in. Mine spent a couple of weeks behind the heater until they felt bold enough to come out. The still jump away when a larger fish comes by, but overall their behaviour is spot on. Mine also hide when they molt. Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk

That's good news, sounds as though things are settling down in your tank. As for fry, I have a net breeding box I hang on the side of my tank. I just feed really finely crushed flake food. Livebearers mind, I've heard that you can buy fry food. EDIT: Just to add, some java moss can help no...

So, I've been feeding my fish peas once a week for some time. I read that it help with digestion and general well being, it's also a nice fresh food. Anyway, I just set about with a plate ready to skin and crush my peas when a brain wave hit me. Use a garlic crusher! It came out pretty...

I believe it also contains copper, could be that. I was steered away by this as I was worried about my snails. I also run the tap for a little while before filling up my 25l water change jug in case any copper has leached into the water from the pipes. Try a water change without ferts and see...

How are things going? Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk

That's quite a collection you had! I look forward to seeing your new ventures! Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk

My last one was about £7 I think. Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk

For your information, I have the allpondsolutions 9W unit. Other sterilisers are available. It's a bit beefy, draws 12W. 12W over the course of a year is a menial amount of electric, whether you can justify it is up to you. It's not something I would rush out and buy, but it's a nice thing...

That is the million dollar question. I haven't seen any illness since I installed the UV steriliser, whether that can be attributed to the steriliser or not is practically impossible to answer. Water clarity improved though. Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk

I would use treatments, if I had a quarantine tank. I'm in exactly the same situation, where I have only one tank. We have all been in this situation at one stage or another. Whether it's a new tank, or the first illness. My response depends on what I see. If the fish dies without warning...

No, I try to avoid treatments as much as possible. Just try to make the water the best you can and watch your fish. That said, Interpet sell an anti internal bacteria treatment. I have used this before without ill effects, but I'd still rather not use it. That's my personal opinion however. I...

From what I've researched, having seen a similar occurrence myself, it's called "chronic wasting disease". It can be caused by any number of things, one of which is an internal bacterial infection. I have not had any success saving affected fish, however I have not had any more than one...

I've lived here 6 years and still don't really know what's on the old base!! Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk

Lovely place, Bentwaters is a little quieter these days. Only the 2 seat Spitfire flies from there. Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk

Thank you! Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk

Hello MrHidley! Who do you work for? I assume your warehouse is on Bentwaters? Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk
