    Advice on T5 bulbs for a 3 foot tank

    Thanks for the opinions guys. I didn't want to be continuously 'tinkering' with the tank and to be scared of leaving it for a day or two, so I'll go for the 2 bulbs! I have HC growing under the current conditions (planted late January, CO2 added late February) and it is starting to spread but...

    Advice on T5 bulbs for a 3 foot tank

    Hi all, I'm thinking of upgrading my lighting from T8 to T5 HO. My tank is 3 foot long x 15 inches high x 12 inches deep (80 litres) and currently running 2x 25W T8 bulbs in my custom built hood. I'm looking at 39W T5 HO bulbs as I believe these will fit in my hood ok(?). My question is should...

    'Taiwanese Blue Velvet Shrimp' Info

    Hi Neil, Here's a few pics, sorry the quality isn't perfect! They look a bit more blue than the photos show, especially under the lights near the top of the tank, Top image is a female (with eggs). The other two shrimp are smaller and more blue so possibly both males?

    'Taiwanese Blue Velvet Shrimp' Info

    Hi all, I've just added 3 Taiwanese Blue Velvet shrimp into my planted tank and was just wondering if anyone has any weblinks to further information about them? I can't seem to find much at all! I'm led to believe they are a Neocaridina sp. similar to cherry shrimp. :?:

    Narrow timers

    I agree the Argos 3 pack are great compact units with easy controls.... the button for daylight saving alone is much better than having to wind on manual ones 23 hours when the clocks go back! However, I found that on my cheap 4 socket powerstrip (from wilkinsons), the timers wouldn't fit next...

    How/Where did you hear about Ukaps.org?????

    Found via a google search and impressed by the look of the preview in the search results, but at that time I couldn't get on to the site (can't remember what the search was even for now!). Ran my tank as a high tech planted tank 5 years ago, then stripped it back to low tech/low light. Recently...
