Hi there dudes and dudettes, I'm just about to set up a 3ft tank after a lengthy break from aquariums and are falling short on ideas. Planting is gonna be simple- Vallis, crypts and some sort of lily. Where I'm stuck is fish choice coz i want the fish to be the focus and not the plants. For...

Just a quickie, does any one have any experience of this crypt, i.e leaf shape, size, difficulty etc.... Any pics of a mature plant would be greatly appreciated. Regards Wayne,

Well it's been over a year since my last post on here and I've gotta say i'ts good to be back :D I've just as of today set up my 120ltr tank after having it sit empty for well over a year so as soon as I remember where my camera is i'll slap some pics up. Setup is as follows: 120ltr rimless...

As the title says my tank has developed a slow leak :evil: but It's underneath the tank so I cant do nowt bout it :cry: Would I be wise to A: shut the tank down immediately or B: risk leaving it running until i can get a replacement tank on monday :? What would you do in my position?

Has any one ever experienced this before or know what causes it. I've got a few leaves that are turning a kind of rust colour, they look healthy as far as I can tell. I'll try to get a pic if I can. Regards Wayne,

Does any one know when these are shipped out or has any one received theirs yet?

Will this product be ok to use instead of CO2 injection just for a short period of time, say about a week! I ask because I managed to break both of my diffusers and have no other way of getting CO2 into the tank. I've already ordered 2 cheapo replacements from HK so should get them this time...

The thing is that I can get 3 20lb bags of Eco-complete from my lfs for £59.97 but to get the equivalent in AS would be £83.97 on the old c/c. So I suppose my Q is, Is the AS really worth the extra £££ in the long run or am I just being a *Tight Git*? :lol:

Well this morning when i woke up to turn on the lights on in my main tank i was absolutely horrified to find my prize male Convict cichlid torn to ribbons * a big understatement* and crammed into the corner of the tank, obviously frightened and nervous :cry: He looks like a survivor of a...

Before i order my substrate i just wondered how many bags people think i should go for. The footprint of my tank is 36" long by 12" wide at the ends and 16" in the middle of the bow front. I was thinking along the lines of maybe 4 bags :? but should i get 5 just in case or would i even need that...

Just wondering if any body has any tips for trimming Hygro compact. I purchased a pot of this last week and it's pretty much tripled in size since then and i figure its time it was cut back a bit as the lower leaves are being shadowed quite a lot. Thanks :) Wayne,

Not sure if this is the right place to put this but is there any decent aquascaping reading material on the market as I'm trying to nerd-up on as much as possible before starting my first scape. Thanks :D

I have decided to scrap my plans for my 100ltr tank and convert my 180ltr community tank instead in the hope it will provide a more stable environment in the long run. I have already got all the bits and bobs required for a full E.I. system having bought them for the smaller tank but i am now...

I'm just about to venture into the world of planted tanks and are looking for some advice on external filters. The tanks is 180ltrs.I'm currently looking at the Tetratec EX1200 as it seems to be superb value. I also have two spare externals: a 205 and a 305. I'm kinda hoping for peoples opinions...
