Latest update as of Friday

Update: Very happy with how it's converting so quickly, already planning on new emersed plants for this tank. I am really glad I took the plunge and went ahead.

After much hesitation, I thought screw it. I converted this tank into a wabi-kusa. Not only it will save me on electricity after taking the filter offline, I also can leave my curtains open without the fear of algae taking over too. I added clingwrap to help the plants stay moist and convert...

Update

Thanks Matt. Let's hope someone helps me out here, I am willing to pay for a few ghost shrimps.

Hi all Is there any chance that I can get some ghost shrimps in the UK? I know they were widely available in South Africa and so were RCS too. I also have had no luck keeping shrimps alive when I still had a tank in South Africa and would like some pointers in that direction. Back then I...

So my light has arrived from Amazon. Here are some pretty pictures and very happy with the purchase. Now I can go hide the tank in a dark room and say goodbye to algae!!! 13W 6500K LED with a lamp holder on a clip. Very strong and sturdy.

And update, 24 hours later, with a white background. will be working on a DIY lighting set which I need to order through Amazon with a bunch of other things.

I got some DHG and Vallisneria today at a local petshop

Hello and welcome! Wow those are some pretty awesome aquascapes.

Hello and welcome, Doug!

Hello and welcome :)

Impressive! I really love the simple look of carpeted tanks.

Wow that's a lot of buce, I can only dream. Plus beautiful blue shrimp, makes me green as I can't keep shrimp alive for more than a week...

Day 1 of the tank I am planning at a later stage to add GU10 6500K led lamps with a light box on top of it and add a black background to the back of the tank to bring out the colours of the scape. I have a filter that already came with the tank so it works great for now.

is it me or does this forum seem dead?

I bought Seiryu rock from Aquarium Gardens online - my mistake was not asking them to supply smaller pieces for a 23L tank but they are really great and will go out of their way to accommodate your requests. I asked them if they could get the courier to deliver my parcel before 12 and they...

Love it! A lot of work you put into it. Keep us updated on the growth

So last weekend after 1 month and half in the UK, I decided to take the plunge, with the limited amount of electricity I have in the place (it's a static caravan). I had originally decided to go pumpless and lightless, having a good spot in the front of the caravan with sunlight and all that...

Ditto, that's exactly what I did. So glad I found this place as it is quite similar to the forum in South Africa except it has much much more in choices of shopping for plants and hardware.

Any good shops in or near Selby in North Yorkshire? I've been to this pet shop on Bawtry Road (next to Selby Carpets and Beds) and they're not that great, the decorative items (gravel, stones, etc) are quite pricey and the plants are in very poor condition, with very little selection to choose...

Thank you @sparkyweasel

Hi all I am not new to aquatic plant keeping but I am new to the UK. I kept plants for almost 5 years then my hand was forced into keeping fish when I received some plants with peppered cory eggs on them. That planted tank that has the cories in were given to a friend before I moved here...

Google. I was looking for an UK aquatic planted forum equivalent to the South African one I was used to going to.
