Hey, So it's just over a couple of weeks since the last post and A LOT has changed since then... My new Aquael Leddy Slim lights turned up and they look great, plus I have noticed a positive impact on plant growth in just over a week, so that should be my setup sorted now! I bought 6 Amano...

Ah right, I will take a look in my LFS tonight, I think they stock some Tropica stuff. The lamps are only £45 (sometimes cheaper) so might punt for another and see how I go. Thanks for your help !

Hi Thanks for the reply :) Lighting wise I am running a Aquael Leddy Slim Plant 10w LED http://www.aquael.pl/en/products/akwarystyka/oswietlenie/292-leddy-slim And I can't seem to find a spec sheet with Lumen rating, so I have no idea. I run it for 8 hours a day and I dose 5ml of SeaChem...

Hey, Great to see the progress of this Iwagumi! I have just started one my self if you want to check it out), with a similar layout and stock. I am having trouble getting my Monte Carlo off the ground, so to speak. It looks healthy but growing very slowly if at all and I have not noticed...

Wow looks great! I have planted some I got from a LFS and I am addressing the issues with their poor start. I will see how I go but I will get back to you if I want some. Thanks

Vol. 2: Hey again, So Vol.1 ended with the tank all ready for planting but I was missing a vital component... PLANTS! I had a day off from work so I decided to visit a couple of fish stores a bit further away from home to see what they had to offer and try to track down the plants I was...

Hey. Thanks. Not heard of them before but just looked them up. They are amazing! Going to have to keep an eye out for these when I am out and about! How are your pearl danios doing? Do they the duo hide often? My LFS say they are rather shy is this true?

This is awesome and great video! I have been meaning to do a few videos, but haven't got round to it yet Keep it up though!

Hi There I am undergoing a new project to create an Iwagumi style Aqua Scape aquarium. This series of posts will journal my project week to week as a progress to keep you and indeed myself in the loop! I want to use this build my skills in aquascaping by being able to reflect and critique...

Hi, Picked up some rocks for my Sanzon Iwagumi today, pretty happy with them, but can't decide on a placement layout. I liked this one (see pic) but something just isn't quite right, can any body spot something that might help me? Perhaps I need more rocks to go with these three, possibly...

Yeah the Tropica soil. I have used it before and it was ace, but didn't know if it would hinder the ADA at all. I suspected not, but just wanted to check.

Just had a delivery of a 9 litre bag of ADA Amazonia, but it isn't enough to fill my tank with a slope to the back of the tank and and around my rocks that I plan to place. I dont fancy paying another £36 + postage for a bag on Amazonia, so could I buy a bag of much cheaper Tropica Plant Growth...

Right I see, I do want to avoid algae so Monte Carlo sounds like my better option.. Great advice on the lights too. I will have to review my options and have another look at them Thanks again!

Hi, I am going to be setting up my first Iwagumi and I am wanting a relatively easy to grow and care for carpet. I like the look of the Monte Carlo and Cuba but can't decide which one to go for... I think I prefer the look of the Cuba but I keep reading that it is hard to grow and care for so...

Hi Everyone! I am Richard a 23 year old tropical fish keeper from up north (West Yorkshire) and I have kept fish for around 3 years now. I started out with two fancy goldfish and quickly turned my attention to tropical and planted tanks, and I now run a 72 litre planted tank with the hopes of...
