Matt, Thanks for the reply,I am about to get my screwdriver out,which is never a good idea,for a DIYphobe like me :) Jon

Hi, I have the above,which has been working well for nearly 3 years,but today the lights would not come on at all.The actual bulb/strip lights are only a few months old ,so I guess I need to rplace the lighting unit which forms part of the 'hood' with two plastic panels making up the rest of the...

Thanks Matt, what is KNO3 ? Jon :D

Can anyone tell me,will the use of liquid ferts,help this plant grow and be healthy ? Or should I just leave it to nature. Thanks, Jon :)

I just bought some of the above mentioned plant.It was sold to me as a 'floating plant', however someone suggested it could be used on the 'floor' of an aquarium. Has anyone got any knowledge of this plant ? Jon :)

Thank you both for the advice,I appreciate it,and will consider it carefully.I will let you know what I eventually go for. Jon

I have a small 48Litre river reef tank, which I would like to use for breeding smaller species.I appreciate the size is not ideal,but would like to try breeding some fish in any case. I would like to try with Rams, but am open to any suggestions. Thanks, Jon :D :shock: :D

Hi again folks, I have recently discovered some empty apple snail shells in my community tank, and wondered whether they have just got old and died, or whether fish in the tank may be bumping them off. I have some zebra spiny eels, about four inches long, a Hoplo cat and a bristlenose maybe...

I have noticed in two of my aquariums that my apple snails,float on the surface, sometimes for hours on end.This alarmed me at first,but then I noticed that they sink back down and carry on as normal. Any idea's as to why they do this ? Jon :D :shock: :D

Hi again everybody,I said I would give an update when my order arrived, here it is: I would just like to recommend someone I bought some grade A Crytsal red shrimp from. His name is Chavez King and as the subject line shows his email is shrimpking@hotmail.com his website is...

Hi, I have just ordered some CRS from shrimpking and will let other forum members know how I get on with my order.There are some very favourable comments on other forums for shrimpking, but I must admit £1200 for a shrimp is plain daft. I have never ordered anything from him previously, but...

Hi again, I am told the above link will take you to a phot of the affected Amazon plant. Thank you, Jon :oops: I've edited the post to show the image inline: ceg4048

Thank you for your reply,I will try and get a photo but I am not very good at that sort of thing. Another plant had it, I took it out of the tank and tried scraping it off the leaves.It felt hard a bit like limestone.It was black or very dark brown.It did not come off easily and I threw the...

Hi, I have loads of black insect looking things growing on my Amazon sword plant.I have never seen anything like it,in all the years I have been keeping fish. Anyone have any idea's as to what it might be. Looks like greenfly,but black. It is not actually insects,just looks like them. I can...

Hi, No I haven't used any medication in there for about 8 months.Yesterday went out and bought a copper test kit.The water did not register any copper at all. Had a helpful phone call from Matt who explained how the simplest thing can upset the shrimps,so hopefully it will settle down whatever...
