    Discus, the king of the aquarium!

    Looking forward to seeing the photos. I have other high tech tanks, but without a pH controlled co2 system, not sure I would be brave enough. I once gassed a school of fish in my EA 600, I would be devastated if same happens to my discus.

    Discus, the king of the aquarium!

    Thank you, very useful information as always about the plants! I will look into those, and see if I can grow them. Plats I had were all epis and were on wood, I have just sand, only anubias survived, but ended up covered in brown due to beef heart. I put the anubias in the nano shrimp tank, you...

    Discus, the king of the aquarium!

    I had to take out the plants, too much organic waste due to rotting of plants. Very hard to keep them at 30C. Looking for a much bigger size wood as well, something with character.

    Hello world :)

    Welcome! Looking great so far, watching how they will evolve, you should start some journals. 😊 I second this one, it would look much more natural.

    @Geoffrey Rea, your tank causes a lot of tank envy in UKAPS! Seriously man, @Ady34 's 1500 and your 1200 are the best this year in my humble opinion...

    I think your tank has a lot of potential, and so far it looks good! Is there any specific reason why you placed the light on one side?

    Tell me about it! o_O They cost a fortune to buy, and eat about £40 worth of beefheart a month! But I absolutely love them! Got 6 more little guys from DevotelyDiscus yesterday actually. :)

    Discus breeding question

    Hello! Not many discus keepers here at the moment, I have 15 stendkers but I am a novice as well. There are people here who used to keep discus and the experience. I don't think it would be a waste of time, it's all about learning and experience, so go for it and please share your journey. There...

    EA600 high tech jungle, fingers crossed!

    Complete rescape, with different wood but same plants. The wood was in discus tank originally, I swapped them, kept the epis that were on it. New wood is slightly too big for the 600, but I think it would do. Overal, spent no money for rescape, I will get some hairgrass for the front later. No...

    When can I add amano shrimp and how many?

    Personally I would put them in now then, assuming you are doing 50% changes, you should be fine. I never had problems with that.
  17. Harry H

    When can I add amano shrimp and how many?

    Also depends on your frequency of water changes. If you let water sit there for a while, it will get toxic very quickly. I personally put in amanos after first week, while doing water changes every other day.

    25L Betta tank, first go at a "scape"

    Also think about where the filter will go, where the heater will be, in a small tank it can be an eye sore, or can be hidden behind some stems. Another thing to consider is the flow. Some Bettas ok with medium flow, my plakat used to love it, but new one hates as he is full moon with full...

    Recommendations for a Nano Cube

    Did you check your local fish shop? There are many brands out there which has very similar products. If you want to high end, then you can try to find a EA300, I heard that they are not being produced anymore tho. You still need to buy your own light, filter and heater. Not sure where you...

    Are you in, or our?

    Inline. But interestingly, my old brown CO2 art inline diffuser produces much finer mist in much higher bubble count than the new model CO2 art inline diffuser. Not sure why, it just is.

    Have you tried to do a pH profile? Do you get 1 unit drop in pH? How about the flow in the tank? I would personally remove those plants and add more plants increasing the plant mass, and do pH profiles until you see 1 unit drop consistently. Maybe lower the light intensity for a while and ramp...

    Flow Recommendations

    Depends on if you use Lilly pipes, or spray bar. If you will use a surface skimmer? I would go with 307 and a ehiem surface skimmer to begin with, pointing opposite directions, making a swirl around the tank and see if you have any dead spots. You can always get the circulation pumps later.

    No, usually not that high. What happened was after I changed the bottle, and turned on the CO2, the needle did not came up. Then I turned the valve up, it did not, then turned all the way off, then back on again, it started moving, I did set it up like that about 30 as the inline diffuser...
