Have been watching the pH in my aquarium very slowly dropping day by and trying to figure out why and whether I should be doing anything about it until I came home late last night having accidentally left the light on and found my cardinals rushing around laying eggs! My tapwater is quite soft...

In my 200L aquarium I allow the CO2 to bubble into the intake tube of my external canister filter. I only use about 10 bubbles per minute and only very occasionally do very small bubbles come out of the outflow of the filter. This is sufficient to turn my drop checker lime green. The advantage...

My LFS had some of these in recently, thought they would look great in my tank. Have tried looking for info online without too much success. Anyone got any experience of keeping this fish? Are they difficult to keep? Thanks for replies, Will

Here it is, not very professional compared to some of the amazing tanks you see on this site, but it definitely brightens up my dining room anyway! Tank specs as follows: Roma 240 (approx 40G), flourite substrate, 2 x 40W T8 tubes on 10 hours per day, Eheim pro II 2026 filter, CO2 approx 20ppm...

Probably a simple one, but just wondering how often it's recommended to replace your tubes when used for about 10 hours per day? Thankyou.

Just wanted to share my experience of setting up a planted aquarium with external filter, UV steriliser and in line CO2 and heater. Some of this may be obvious, but because I ran into a few problems, I thought I’d post my experiences here. Problem 1 – Reduced flow from canister filter I was...

I'm pretty new to planted tanks. My set up so far is as follows: T8 lighting 2 x 40W tubes, 10 hours a day, with reflectors supplied with the unit. Pressurised CO2 used to bring pH down from 7.4 to 6.9 Flourite substate and JBL Ferropol fertiliser (when I remember!). Growth seems a little on...

Please can someone explain how to attach images to a post. I assume it has something to do with the "Img" button on the top of the posting box but all that does for me is this "[img][img]"! Probably a very simple question, but I'm totally new to this, so I'd be grateful if someone could explain...
