    Redsea Reefer 170 conversion

    I've picked up a Redsea Reefer 170 and thought it would make a nice planted tank. Any advice on sump media and lighting? Ultimately I want a very low mantainence tank that I can grow some nice mosses and plants in but needs very little attention! I plan to keep it lightly stocked with some...

    Would this idea work?

    I'm planning a new discus tank. This tank has inspired me and I want to replicate something along these lines. The tank will be 4x2x2 with a sump. I'll use low lighting, a couple of T5's C02 and probably Tropica substrate under pool filter sand. I have the facility that I could have this...

    Holes appearing in my crypts

    I've noticed the crypts in my 5 gallon Nano have started to suffer a bit. Looks like a small hole appears then a section of the leaf dies off. They were doing really well, chucking out new leaves and roots. Can snails do this? Or could it be as the tank has matured the nutrient levels have...

    Hi all, my first post here. After a 15 year lay-off (used to keep killies and discus) I want to dip my toes in the water with a planted tank. I was thinking of a Juwel Lido, but want to keep things reasonably simple. Can i get some advice from you seasoned pro's on: A: what plants thrive in...
