... Hehehe, tricked you all! My post here is about my bowl which is ANYTHING BUT paradisiac. It's a 40 litre glass bowl, with a fluvial 206 filter, inline CO2 running from a sodastream kit through a lily pipe attachment. Lighting Aquay ray mini tile 400. Unheated. Dry saltFerts are dosed 6...

Hello all, I think the time has come to change the canister on my sodastream co2 set up... I have regulator from co2art with their special sodastream regulator. I've been noticing the pressure dropping gradually over the past week and now I see the dials read as per the picture. No bubbles...

lolololol! I don't think you should keep anything if it scare you! I remember having tree frogs as a teenager which literally frightened the living sh@t out of me...

nice :)

WOW! that grass is out of control!! How long has the tank been running ?

Hi there, I'd take a look at the eden 501, I ran one several years back on a modified biOrb with good results. The only problem is that it needs to be on the same level as the tank otherwise it won't run properly. Another option is the sunsun range. I think they do a small canister suitable for...

k@ Hi! do you keep your tanks in a window then? What kind of light do you use?

Hello Dean, The bubble is around 45Ltrs, it's glass and I picked it up from a bric a brac shop. Being glass, I seriously worry how long it will stay into one piece, but so far so good!! For the substrate I used Amazonia soil, first the bigger pieces, then the tiny ones on top. all the plants...

6 weeks in, Dwarf hair grass slooooow, but the montecarlo and Pogostemon H seem to be enjoying things :)

#4 week update# Hi, for anyone interested, I thought I'd share how my little experiment with dry start DHG is coming along. Actually, I realise that the photos are SUPER boring, and there's not too much to report actually... Anyway, I was getting very bored of staring at this bowl waiting...

It drops below Zero in the evenings and gets pretty nippy in the window where I've placed the bowl (hence the heat mat). I just noticed today some of the roots working their way down into the soil, although no change on the surface yet... but it's only day 7. :)

Hello everyone, I thought I'd document my attempt to grow Dwarf hair grass Emersed. I have a 32W Daylight CF bomb about 25cm from the substrate (Amazonia soil) in a 10L bubble I bought from a bric a brac shop sat on a heat mat made for heating substrate in terrariums. Any suggestions and...

Hi folks. if anyone is familiar with the tic mini tile, could you please tell me what sort of lighting I have... whether it be considered medium or high... a its lowest, the tile is 45 cm from the substrate... here's a couple of pics of my current set up. Thank you!

Miranda, could you please have at look at your fluvial pipes for me and maybe let me know what size I'd need to replace them with clear PVC pipework? I've read conflicting opinions on line .. 20/16 or 16/12?

Thanks Miranda, if only those pipes weren't so bulky and black on the fluvial :(

Thanks for that... the planted bowl is stunning, and is actually the inspiration for this project... but there is just no chance that I will be doing daily water changes, hence the need for some good filtration.

I'm planning a planted fishbowl and indecisive about choosing a filter. I've heard good and bad about both, so i thought I'de see what you good people had to say about it.. Although I've found a really good price on the 106 online, I must admit, I'm not thrilled with the idea of having 2 large...

Hmmm, heat mat is not something I'd considered... then again, the round bowl is to be positioned on a round table (small), so it might not fit with the super clean look I'd like to achieve.... but maybe I'm kidding myself...(I know that once all the pipes and electrics and random fish stuff and...

Yeah, I live in Madrid, so the temperature here is really variable. We can have very chilly winters, and summers with temperatures which I can imagine are only matched in hell :) As heating is SUPER expensive in Spain, I tend to only heat my flat in the evenings when I'm home. But I'll run the...

So No heater then? I'd actually prefer not to use one if possible....

Hi Bruce, I don't know if I'd necessarily agree.. I think most freshwater shrimp seem happier in water which has a constant temperature, and is not prone to daily fluctuations.

hahaha Zozo....!!! IMPOSSIBLE!

Green finger 2, thanks for the info. That bowl is exactly the kind that I love. I'll take a longer look at the article :) Bruce, thanks for your reply. I'd probably like some shrimp at some point, which is why I'd like some heat.. I'm not sure room temperature water would be warm enough...

Hi Bruce.. my knowledge of sumps and the like is really very limited... I'd rather stick to what I know at the stage (That said , I'm not especially knowledgable about external filtration either :/) How do you mean when you mention C02 moving the water? Hi Foxfish, I have a TMC mini led aqua...

Thanks... I was somehow under the impression that adjusting the flow put pressure on the mechanics of the filter reducing it's lifespan though... maybe I'm wrong.. :/

Hello all, I have recently bought a beautiful 45 litre glass bowl which I intend to use as a planted aquarium. I don't intend to keep any fish in it, perhaps a few shrimp eventually, so, please, no need for a lecture on cruelty :) I'm having a few difficulties with finding an external filter...

I use a small clip on desk fan suspended over my 60 litre aquariul when the temperature soars and it keeps my tank at a very constant 24c..... obviously for a larger tank you'd need more, but it certainly works for me....

Thanks for taking the time to answer.....I'm very grateful! In simple terms then, I need even more co2 and fertilisers? John

How dare it!! So I've just today installed a very simple diy yeast set up to my 60 litres aquarium..... I bought a cheapo glass diffuser (ADA knock-off) from ebay and all has been merrily bubbling away.... Thing is, only my algae is pearling.... Is this normal? I don't have heaps of algae...
