I have 260l aquarium that has been running for a long time. It’s full of plants and has large and old angel fish with some random otos, corys and odd very old tetra. It’s Fluval Osaka, so tall rather than long which also is a challenge as the angels are endlessly on war path and need their line...

I recently noticed that there are some kind of tiny gastropods in my planted nano tank. Almost like tiny freshwater limpets. On stem of a crypt in the pic. Any idea what are these?

I'm looking for an automated water top up system that would be possible to be plumbed into mains and ideally would send an alarm to a phone if tank flooded. The system will be set at my place of work so alarm from potential flooding would be very handy indeed as I'm not there during weekends...

I’ve been reading about filters and totally confused. I’ve been running Fluval 304 in my 260l deep Osaka tank for 9ish years and although never had water quality issues I think the flow isn’t quite enough with heavily planted tank. I’m considering upgrade partly due to low flow and partly...

I’ve been pondering if more light over fewer hours is different to less light over more hours from algae point of view. It seems like it would be reasonably easy to calculate how much longer you can keep lights on if you reduced intensity but I suspect it isn’t quite that straight forward. Any...

I used to have very prolific red Nymphea lily that would put out at least few leafs a week until it decided that enough was enough and kind of stopped. It didn’t die completely off but make one or two tiny leaves to keep ticking over. I’ve replanted in fluorite black substrate about 18 months...

My 6yr old has been badgering me to get her “her own aquarium” for ages and when I saw secondhand bargain Fluval Roma 125 with fresh and plant led lights, JBL CristalProfi greenline e901 filter and CO2 system with solanoid and inline diffuser I thought I guppies were a good idea to introduce her...

I’ve been trying to increase plant species and density in both my low tech and high tech tanks. I noticed that some tissue culture plants do really well and some I get no luck at all from both low and high tech. Are there species that are inherently better if they come from in vitro pots and...

I have 260l tank with 5x emperor tetras, 10x neon tetras, 3x angel fish, 1x ram, 1x otto and 8x small bronze corys. All but corys have been in the tank for years and their school numbers have gone down over time. Problem is very aggressive possibly male emperor that bullies pretty much anyone...

I have 260l tank that has been running for about 7ish years now. Originally there was some sort of layering of planting substrate with fine gravel on top but it has been mixed up over the years. I was on pretty bad care for ages after I got totally fed up with algae issues but has been since...

Aquarium fever is hitting home again and after years and years of mistreatment I decided that I need to do something to my poor old tank. In absences of care it has filled with java fern so looking for inspiration to do something to it. It's Fluvial Osaka 260 with fluvial 306 filter and 3x 39w...
