    Filter change over, how long to run side by side?

    Hi Everyone, I first set up my planted tank with an internal filter which has been fine for the last 3 months. I put an external thermo filter on the tank a week ago to increase flow/ improve the look of the tank. How long until I can remove the internal filter? There's no hurry but it does...

    Rainbow Forest 105l Aquael Leddy

    Hi Everyone! After a 10 year break from the hobby I've bought a cheap tank and I'm back in the game. I didn't want to leave the hobby but I was moving around a lot for work and the addition of 2 kids (now 3 years and 9 months) made it seem impossible. I'd love to have gone all in on a rimless...

    Bristlenose Dropsy recovery

    Hi everyone, I recently had Bristlenose plec with severe dropsy and it recovered much to my amazement so I thought I'd post my experiences hopefully to help anyone else in a similar situation.

    CO2 reactor issues

    Hi, I had this question in my Journal but I tihnk it would be better to ask it here: At the moment I have an external CO2 reactor but it tends to fill about 1/4 with CO2 which then bubbles in big bubbles out through the filter outflow! I have it on the inflow pipe so it also rattles through the...

    "Spooky woodland" - oatfish's tank

    Hi Everyone, I once posted this tank on TTF but I have found UKAPS to be friendlier and more useful (fewer “I bought a tank filled it with tap water and chucked hundreds of fish in it immediately and they all died, why?” threads for a start!) Here was my tank about 1.5 years ago...

    Plant mutant - limnophila aromatica

    Hi, i have some limnophila aromatica that has mutated and become twisting. Only one plant has done this, it looks very cool, but I wanted to know if anyone else had experienced this? The leaves now spiral up the stem rather than occuring in single whorls around the stem and the stem has a...
