    Red Eye Tetras - anyone keep them

    I had 3 in a 60litre tank. I got them when they were quite small and they grew much bigger quite quickly. Beautiful fish but aggressive when the lights went out. They cost me several male guppy's :( I eventually moved them on. Would love to keep them again one day when I get a bigger tank.

    My First Tank

    Lovely tank. Is it a 60/70 litre tank? Is the lighting upgraded? What plants have you got in there? Cheers :)

    Which fertiliser?

    Hi All, Just wondering which fertiliser I would be best going with. In the past I have used Tetra Plantamin and have noticed some growth on my Java Fern and Anubias Petite. Tank itself is low lighting - 60liter, 11 watt lighting, no nutrient rich substrate added at beginning, no Co2...

    Hi All, Does this plant do best when attached to bogwood or a rock or does it really matter? Cheers :)

    Aquarium Backgrounds

    Hi, I'm after one from this journal link below: http://www.180liter.blogspot.com/ It's about three quarter's of the way down the page. Journal quotes it as a blue/grey stone bank. Do you know of this one or can you create a similar one? Cheers :)

    Aquarium Backgrounds

    Hi All, I am looking for some good links for a half decent looking background? I know there are structured backgrounds out there but was thinking more of a half decent looking film background. Any suggestions? Cheers :)

    A mix of gravel + sand in tank

    Hi All, I have always admired tanks with sand as opposed to gravel. I have gravel in my tank and was thinking of adding some sand to it also. Would it work looks wise or look terrible? Would anyone have any tips/suggestions? Thank you :)

    Anybody use Easy Life Fluid Filter Medium?

    Hi All, As above, I'm getting some of the above and have not used it before. Just wondering if anyone had any tips? ie: if I fill a bucket with water before adding to the tank do I add it to this or add to the tank once I have made the water change? I did read that it clouds the water when...

    Can you ID these plants please?

    http://s403.photobucket.com/albums/pp111/donalo_01/ Hi All, Can anyone ID the plants (I know the one in right front and back is Windelov fern and have now attached it to bogwood) but what is the plant in the middle background and front left? Thanks all :) PS: Any tips on how I might change...

    Anubias Barteri

    Hi All, Sorry, probably a silly question and already asked before but is the above an easy to grow plant? Would it suit a low-tech lighting aquarium (with no rich substrate and don't use fertiliser). Thanks all :)

    HAGEN GLO T8 FLOURESCENT LIGHTING SYSTEM 40W?

    Hi Nick, Unfortunately the area where I have the tank is a bit short on space. I'll be upgrading to a Rio 125 later in the year. Learning a lot from this forum with regard to scaping, plants, ideas, etc :)

    HAGEN GLO T8 FLOURESCENT LIGHTING SYSTEM 40W?

    Hi Nick, Thanks for the response. Never thought the tubes would be that large! Here is a pic of my tank below: http://www.thelivingseas.uk.com/p/59332 ... black.html That clip on lamp is perfect. Thanks again :)

    HAGEN GLO T8 FLOURESCENT LIGHTING SYSTEM 40W?

    Hi All, I only have an 11w lamp on my tank which is pretty poor I know. I also saw this for sale too: HAGEN GLO T8 HO TWIN LIGHT STARTER 2 X 40W Would this be too strong on the fish? I saw this recently in my LFS and just wondered is it any good? Would it show noticeable differences to...

    Help in choosing plants - specifically for a tall aquarium

    Tank height is in/around 2 feet high. Also just found out about the lighting on the tank: 1 X 11W Hope this helps. I meant to ask also as my tank is already up and running is there any way of adding substrate to it or is that out of the question? Thanks for the replies so far :)

    Help in choosing plants - specifically for a tall aquarium

    Hi All, I have a very much low-tech aquarium (first tank and I'm pretty much a newbie!). The aquarium itself is a hexagonal shaped 60litre aquarium. It's a very deep/tall aquarium and I am looking for some help in choosing some plants that (1) are easy to maintain and (2) would grow reasonably...

    It can always be better.... !

    Beautiful tank mate :) What is your exact setup, tank size, substrate and maintenance schedule for the plants? I saw a tank very similar to yours in the flesch recently and have to have one myself one day. The sand looks so much better than the gravel. Well done :)

    My rio 125

    Lovely tank. I have only a 60litre at present but looking to upgrade to a 125 in the near future as I am still a novice and learning all the time. What did you use in the tank in terms of substrate, gravel, etc? Is it play sand you are using? Do you use anything else to help your plants? I...
