    White staghorn

    My experience, may not always be the case... it got bad then just died off by itself. Usually is the case I think. As said just keep all clean and params in good shape. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    I know, I was really struggling with BBA and he was last resort. Fully intend on removing within next couple of months. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Late update. Blyxa filled nicely, woodwork changed around a bit. Some axelrodi rasboras on their way to go with the embers Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Lews first planted tank :)

    Sorry for late reply, they were just the new additions. Current stocking after a few changes is 15 embers, 4 or 5 habrosus cories, 1 reticulated flying fox, lots of shrimp. 10 axelrodi rasboras on their way. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Growth, but its because I split it from the main stem. I find if you just leave it as one it doesn't seem as much growth. I'd 100% give it a go Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Lews first planted tank :)

    Haven't posted in a while given that things have been all over the place this last couple of months. The tank is doing great. Re scaped a couple of times but the wood can barely be seen anymore. Now have 6 galaxy rasboras, a siamese fighter. Pictures 1 and 2 are before and after removing a...

    Plants and blue light?

    Hi Jay, It is not the new gen 5 it's a generation 4 that I had left from my old reef tank. I have established plants in there already. Thanks Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Plants and blue light?

    Hi everyone, hope you're all keeping well. I have a question: Is there any reason not the turn my blue light up in intensity. Not to the point where they are higher than whites, but its just that I prefer the colour a little bit more "crisp". The light fixture is a ration xr15, so not made with...

    my first attempt but need help in these times

    Looking good! As others have said dont worry about white coating. And as for stocking, a school of neons sounds good to me. And I would recommend shrimps every day of the week if you want them, they're awesome to watch, add colour and do a job for you. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    What type of diffuser do.you have and where abouts is it placed in your system ? Also, I assumed that it is one bubble per second, yes?? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    COVID19 and terrible decision making

    Bored, bored and bored some more. I'm in student accommodation, all other flatmates have gone back home so.im.left here on my own. I cant/wont go back to family home because I work at an aquarium which is still open as pet shops are on the list. Unfortunately some people aren't understanding...

    It is from a damaged area (I didnt know about this before) however the leaves are dropping from another anubias the opposite side of the tank. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    40 Litres Low Tech

    Yeah those tucano look awesome. I would buy them if they were available to me... never seen them before.

    Lews first planted tank :)

    Last couple of days the plants have really been doing well. I have been adding the Seachem Phosphorus at 1ml a day to start. The plants have responded amazingly. Check this anubias nana pearling. Also, I have seen several shrimplets, some red some brown, so we will see what comes of that. One...

    Critique my hardscape New hardscape critique wanted!

    Number 3 fo me, although seeing those sawn off ends would drive me crazy. Also, I would personally have less rock under the wood, allowing more caves and room for fish to swim through.

    2 stones.....Shrimple!

    FWIW I really like it. Always preferred minimalistic designs to overcomplicated. This suits the tank size imo, especially for shrimps.

    Lews first planted tank :)

    So I added some catappa bark that Ive had sitting around for a while, and the amanos seem to be loving it for some reason. Being at the front of the tank, I got a chance to picture them. I haven't edited this photos, and this is what they came out like. They do not appear this blue in real life...

    Lews first planted tank :)

    Whilst I agree testing for PO4 in a planted tank isn't particularly important, I actually enjoy testing my water a lot. I think it's from when I did reefs. I also work at an aquarium so it's nice to just sit at home and work on my own tank. Plus I dont need anymore plants for now [emoji1] Sent...

    So I paid for the root tabs and a phosphate test but left them at work [emoji15] So with the lockdown and all it will be Thursday when I get them. I did however take 5 more cherries and the last yellow. Honey gourami is no longer with me. So here's a picture of two corys happy know the moss...

    Lews first planted tank :)

    First of all thanks for the comments Matt :) The plant height isn't something I've considered too much. In fact I would be interested in how the blyxa would look when its grown out some more. It may look silly but it may also look quite cool. As for background plants, I'm not sure yet. I used...

    Lews first planted tank :)

    Hi everyone, For the last 7 years I have kept reef tanks, but moving out has meant this was no longer a possibility. So I have set up a planted tank that has been running since just before Christmas. It is an aqua nano 40, running co2 and a radion xr15w (left over from reef tank). The current...
