Right guys. I've done alot of reading about LED arrays for planted tanks, and pretty much understand it, however I've still got a few more questions, which hopefully someone'll be able to answer! The tank that I'm planning to make the LED array for is a 30cm cube. I'm after high light levels...

I've been in contact with Plants Alive whilst trying to source some Eleocharis sp. "Japan"/"Belem", and they have said that one of their suppliers stocks it, but as Eleocharis sp. (Cow Plant). I've done a few Google searches and can't seem to find any references to it. Has anyone heard of it...

I've been considering making an ADA style stand for the optiwhite that I'm planning on getting in a couple of months. I've had a look at some guides on the web, and it looks acheivable. The one part I'm unsure of is the finish to use. I see Tom found Dulux's Night Jewels 3 to be a close...

I've recently set up a Rekord 60 shell dweller tank, which holds about 40L by the time the substrate and rocks are in there. I've added some java fern, some weeping moss and vallis, though we're not really talking about heavy planting, just a little bit. I've thought that it could do with some...

Hi all, I'm considering getting an optiwhite tank from Aquariums Ltd. :mrgreen: I plan to create a scape similar to this, which is one of the best tanks I've seen for a while, well done nico! I'd probably like the tank to be 30" long, which is the biggest I could fit in the space, though I...

Hi all, The filters on my Trigon 350 mbuna tank are being noisy, despite me trying everything I can think of to quieten them, and so I've been considering getting an Eheim Pro 3e 2078. 8) I've got a few questions: Is it really really quiet (which is the main issue for me)? Is it easy to...

Hi, I'm going to get some Purigen from the States when my Grandma goes to see my Aunty, and was thinking that I'd get some, as it's alot cheaper over there than it is here. However, I've read that it can foul/turn toxic if used with slime coat products. Aqua Essentials say that it will foul...

Hi all, I'm looking to get a couple of crypt sp. for the for and midground of my 60L tank. Only there are so many to choose from I can't decide. :lol: I'm looking for some recommendations, and also where's a good place to get them online from. The tank's got pressurised CO2, EI dosing, 24...

Hi guys, As it's nearing Christmas, I got thinking about what I would ask my parents to get me. As flow now seems to be one of the key factors in planted tanks, I thought that I would ask them to get me a better external filter for my 60L tank, to replace the current Fluval 105 (with modified...

Hi all, Unfortunatley, shortly after redoing my 60L tank, to make it high tech, algae started to form. I believe that it was brush algae. After fiddling about with the CO2, and taking the worst of it off, it went away. :) However, there has always been a little algae on my HC, and when I...

Hi, I'm just about to redo my 60L tank. I'm going to be running pressurised CO2 at 30ppm, and 2 x 24W daylight t5 tubes. The substrate is AS Malaya, and I'm going to use PSS and Tropica plant substrate under it. I'm looking to start dosing using dry fertilisers, and am now wondering what...
