Thanks guys. I have just purchased the Nano Hydor Koralia powerhead so will see how this goes. Where am I best to position this? I guess wherever the water movement isn't great which is on the side and front of the tank. All the other powerheads seemed that they would be far too powerful for my...

Thanks for your advice guys. I really appreciate it! Andyh - I was under the understanding that the Eheim 2211 would be more than sufficient for a 48L tank. Is that not the case? Is it perhaps not working properly? I would have thought the 40% water change and this filter would be enough to...

About 8 months ago I set up my first Aquascaped tank. I've done my best to read and learn as much as possible but for some reason it just has never quite established itself properly and looks nothing like the examples I see in the magazines and online! I was inspired by this nano aquarium that...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me with a problem I'm having with my Anubias Barterii. It's been growing really well but recently parts of the leaves are turning a black/brown colour. They aren't rotting or anything, it's more like they have been burnt in the middle. The actual leaves...

Thanks for the photo upload information. Here are two photos of the tank: Neither of them have come out too clearly but hopefully they will help. The first one shows the Blyxa Aubertii with the top of the leaves broken off. Hopefully with a spray bar this will stop breaking my plants up so...

Ah sorry, they aren't photos of my actual plants, I just found an image that had algae which looked similar. I'm not sure how to upload my own photos. I'm using Tropica Plant substrate. Though I think I have more than the recommended 3-4 cm of aqua soil on top of it so perhaps the plant roots...

Thanks Nick - definitely a few things to think about and try. I'd never even heard of a spray bar before! The algae looks a little bit like dirt on the leaves. This is a fairly close representation of what it looks like: . I've been reading that it's common in a new tank set up so hopefully if...

Hi Nick, Thanks so much for the quick reply! In response to your points: 1. Ok, I'll turn it down to 8 hours. 2. It's a 48L tank. It's an Interpet Fish Pod. 3. Yes, it's yeast based. I understand that for the size of the tank I have this should be sufficient? 4. I add in TetraPlant...

Hi, I have recently set up my first tank and am having trouble with getting my plants established and growing well. I have done my best to read and learn as much as possible (and choose suitable equipment) but unfortunately my plants aren't in the condition I'd like. I have the following plants...
