Hi nice idea with foam but you need to silicone it to the tank bottom or put loads of stones on it as I think it will like to float :) p.s nice discus

might be a interesting idea but not really aesthetic value

Hi did you accommodative them in correct manner? how long have them been in the bag before shop and tank?

Hi I have 20 treadfins in my 50g and they do not shoal at all! they probably would it there would be a big fish which would seem to them as a predator.

Re: Swamp Creek - established 20/04/2010 Hi Nice tank Where in Swindon are you? If you need some filter mulm let me know as i`m cleaning mine on Tuesday :) Yea Heteranthera zosterifolia is quite a "pest" later on + once its grown whitch does not take long its a nice plant + its good for...

Hi do not know where you buy RO water from and where someone is paying £80 for ro unit when here is one for £40 50gpd should be enough

Hi Does any one use them? Do they have any benefits for plants, or its just stable pH for fish? Thanks gzylo

Hi Mike you must be supplying half of Europe with fish :) Do you still have that fishouse? Thanks gzylo

Hi I go for anything between dj rush, andreas kramer (kremer), aleksander kowalski, speedy j, dave clarke, kazu kimura, ade fenton to Björk and Kraftwerk :)

Hi try james website http://theplantedtank.co.uk/deficiencies.htm or http://www.theaquatools.com I use pps-pro too but I overdose pps pro is ok but there are some downsides. you have to stick to the rules for example. if you have that wpg you need to have light on for that long..... etc...

Hi Etherelda i use http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aquarium-Co2-Atom ... 2a02961cd1 with fluval 405. can reccomend. but 16/22mm version. Thanks gzylo

Hi Does anyone tried to change standard ribbed fluval 405 hoses to silicone ones? I believe that inside diameter of fluval 305/405 hose is 16mm if so what hoses did you used. Thanks gzylo

I use window cleaner spray but on a cloth, I think they have high ammonia content. Or use vinegar and cloth. Is really up to you.

Re: My venture into my new 760 ltr aquariam. I think there are some carbon cartridges used to connect to hose when you wish to add some water to pond straight from tap. Seen them somewhere on the net few month back If I were you I would use carbon filter to remove chlorine whatever the amount...

Hi Nice the tutorial would be great! Thanks

Re: My venture into my new 760 ltr aquariam. What I meant is that Simon wish to use pump to dose the ferts ;)

Re: My venture into my new 760 ltr aquariam. ro is fine yea if you are going to get fishes you should add some kind of filter to get the chlorine out or if you have 350l barrel you could let the water sit for 24h before adding it to the tank. Im not sure whether chlorine is bad for plants...

Re: My venture into my new 760 ltr aquariam. di or ro is best

Re: My venture into my new 760 ltr aquariam. Hi Always Broke How do you intend to add ferts - dry or mixed with water? Thats from ceg 4048 estimated index write-up - hope you do not mind ceg ;) consider this NPK (Nitrogen + Phosphorus + Potassium) Mixture for 20 Gallon Tank 1 month = 4...

I`m not sure but i think it will die because all the leafs come from bulb. But cannot guarantee.

right sometimes someone sells them without bulb and they do not last long (which is bad) but considering you said its numphea it must be lily unless shop is wrong but without the bulb I would not buy it.

Hi Joanne They will be fine :)

It is lotus but i think tiger have spots when tyeh are green they have brown/red ones when they are red they have dark brown. it looks like red one because it has purple underneath leaves. Shot us a picture in 2-3 weeks time and then we will be able to tell 100% does it have a bulb?

Hi Peter you have all the tuts and forum and if you wont try you will never know! be carefull with co2 good water flow EI and you will be fine. ;)

Hi Gould pm me your address and if you pay postage I will send you some liquid peat extract. regards gzylo

Czesc You will need some source better of co2 as echinodorus does not really need a lot of it than weekly water change can supply. for now maybe get easy carbo or flurish as blyx does not grow without proper co2 levels as far I know. Yea second is best but I bet these branches did no god for...

Hi 100 would be enough to get fe co2 - it will benefit you as later you probably will upgrade to bigger tank http://www.ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=266

Hi Do you vac your akadama + do you find that corys disturb too mutch of it? Thanks

heh :) my is not tidy because it does not have to be :) its only me who looks into the cabinet so I know what is what :) apart from that space is limitation as i need to fit 2kg fe 2 fluvals 405 and 80 liter water container for mixing tap and ro. so maybe one day :)

nice!

Hi I am using one of these they will do the job ok - but you need to play a bit with needle walve to set bubble rate as you wish as the are not as precisely as my friends jbl. hope that helps gzylo

Hi guys I`m not an expert. I gave fluval 405 and 404 connected in line and external inline reactor. As a output on the filters I use spray bar along the back of the tank wall. The holes are positioned so the water flows to the front glass of the tank but not in the straight line but tiny bit...

if my plants will grow as expected I will enter too if not I will leave it till next year it would be interesting.

Hi Ho often do you do water changes? Do you dose co2? - you might have unstable co2 Regards Gzylo

Hi How do you find corydoras and akadama? p.s beautiful tank! Thanks

Hi All Does anybody have ever used pc water cooling for cooling fish tanks water, I know most of the will be copper which is not the best thing. Thanks gzylo

Hi I have already done this with http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-x-Aquarium-Plas ... 4a9f8d9e3b but from shop Range - they have some cheap aquatics products I mean compared to aquatic shops some things are 1/2 price!!! And I got myself tetratec aps50 for the task for £9.99 but I think its not...

as long as it does not contains melahite green or copper it should be fine. + on most of the treatments it indicates not to use when you have shrimps.

Hi Does anyone uses this method? I need to get some kind of 3 way splitter so I can connect co2 over the day and o2 over the night whit one reactor? Can normal airline 3 way extension be ok, if I silicone the connections? I will use non-return valve before the 3 way extension for each co2...

or you can get peat extract if you give me your adress and pay for postage I will send you few bottles I have like 2 litres of it from Poland. regards gzylo

Hi Java fern is fine in the substrate as long as rhizome is not burried

Hi ceg atm i have 2x fluval 405 connected in line and outlet is connected to spray bar along back wall of the tank, co2 injected in-line, I need a bit of acceleration. I mean see how it goes If I like it I will stick with it if not will change back on. Yes maybe they do not need but I really...

HI ceg well really its aesthetic but also I would like to push my plants a little bit some of them do not require a lot of light but all echinodorus and microsorym are going out to be replaced with steems which like light a bit more. So that's the idea behind. p.s my diffuser and reflector...

Hi All I`m currently running 300L tank with 2xT8 30W, 1xT5 39W and 1xT 54W (total 155W) and I`m planning to change this to 2xT8 30W and 4xT5 39W which will bring me up to 216W I`m adding co2 by glass diffuser (in-ilne diffuser in the post) + easycarbo. I dose ferts with this regime. In 1...

Hi Try to rise temp to 30 - 32C do 50% water change treat with Interpret anti white spot or similar. Or you can try to just rise the temp up to 32C and water change and air-stone as white spot cycle is broken at this temp Thanks

Hi I would wait :) + make sure you will get nutrition rich substrate as echinodorus feeds mostly by roots

Hi jmkgreen I `m using co2 regulator you are planning to buy. I have no problems with it apart one thing. The needle valve could be more accurate. it takes some time to adjust it to your need but once set up it fine.

I do not think it is Staurogyne it is rather looking like some sort of hygrophilia

Hi I have 6 of them atm but they do not really count :) I was thinking about real ones ;) Thanks Bart

Hi It looks to me like fish eggs (looks exactly like corydora eggs) Thanks gzylo

Hi a bit hijacking but anyone kept Corydoras with akadama? I mean do they do a lot of mess with substrate keeping in mind that its quite light. Thanks Bart

Hi Just remove it manually :)

Hi I have 2 of these http://www.reptiles.swelluk.com/reptile ... 26143.html its minimum on time is 1second so its perfect for dosing ferts with certain pumps. gzylo

Hello quite good points :)! Thanks

Hi simply just type in google 22lb to kg and it will split the result for you :) it works with currency etc..... hope that makes things simpler :) regards gzylo

As long as water is not bad all fish should be ok :)

Hi it should be no problem it might be a bit more messy but it again depends from food. Regards gzylo

Hi Grauf the switch takes around 5cm and and believe me you will not be able to find it in the tank :) its 350L and it will be heavy planted. It already is but it will have a total make over :) - thinking of journal too, depends on time. I do not have a clue how reed switches work. No clue...

Hi Daniel If you mean how I connect the pump to the sensor? that`s a bit of a problem :) as i`m not sure how it works for 100% I believe that wires in the sensor will have to be connected the mains of pumpp and with correct level it will allow current to go get to the pump and switch it on I...

Right... So if fluval 405 internal bore pipe is 17mm then I should use Atomizer with 12 - 16mm connections so I can actually fit it on the atomizer. Did I understand what you said?

Hi Ed Simple because I would have to get the water out from tank manually - where I wish to get pump to take water out of the tank and put it under my kitchen sink where closest waste water to the tank is. Then I would use float sensor mentioned above to monitor water levels and top up same...

Hi Flyfisherman I know what the sizes refers to but do not know how :). I do think I should use 16-22mm diffuser. Thanks Flyfisherman!

thanks! I was thinking same but need second opinion :) thanks again

hi strange, I do not have problem with fish/plant swap I would never buy discus from them in the first place :) Thanks gzylo

Hi all. Instead of aqua-medic pump you can use http://www.cheappetproducts.net/AQUA_LIFTER_SUCTION_PUMP__3GPH_-_Lift_height_30__-UKP47359.html. It costs 7.32. but shipping costs £25 (from Usa) I have ordered two + circulation pump and pay around £68. I wills set them on digital timer the...
