Great first attempt mate. What light tubes you using standard t8 or t5?

I'm jealous. Great hardscape materials

Looks great Alastair.

Nice healthy looking plants. The wood looks much better then It did before. Have you thought of adding some moss to the wood?

My fish get fed once a day and my daughters gold fish twice a day

Well I mixed the fert with DI water Saturday and dosed Sunday after my weekly W/C I will just have to wait a few weeks and see what happens to the plants.

Thanks for the reply. I've not done my water change yet as its due tomorrow this will be a couple of times now she's laid eggs without me doing a w/c

No mate no luck and no white eggs. Thing is there's more eggs been laid yesterday how often does a croy lay eggs

Look forward to see what you do to these. That rock looks interesting

What a good read and fantastic setup.

Thanks Alastair that's good to know. I've also sent you another pm

Ate you still using the lush max mate? If so would you recommend it? As I've just bought myself some

Nice rock work mate.

Wow I've not seen a 16/60 in a long time my dad use to own one. I've currently got a 1966 jaguar 420 that needs some work and I seriously need to finish my mk1 golf resto

Nice lively tank

I have an old rena tank in my parents shed I will see if I can make some time today to go and pick it up

It's over 24 hr now with no white eggs so all is looking good.

Well last night I put some of the eggs in a biggish container with tank water and a airline to keep the water moving. No eggs have fungus on and to me look healthy ill just have to wait and see what happens. I also watched my daughters gold fish lay egg early this morning

I just hope I can get a couple out of at least 50 to hatch. Can I ask why some of the eggs get fungus on them?

Thanks for the input. And I have the very common bronze croys

Hi this is the 2nd time in a week my croydoras has laid eggs on the glass of my tank. I would love some of them to hatch just need to know what I need to do? Thanks

What layout did you end up going with?

The Afro moss looks great

Nice hardscape placement mate

Tanks coming along nicely

Nice hardscape

That's amazing. Are you using frets ect

Hi just wondering what hob filter that is?

I've never used soil as of yet

That's for all your inputs some amazing tanks there

Previous set up looks nice

Love the scape. Any full tank shots with the discus now added?

Do you have your nano tank yet or have one in mind that you want?

Hi lee welcome to ukaps. where abouts in london you from?

Is this is in the wrong place? if so could a mod move it to the right place please

As title really just wondering what can be achieved using just a gravel substrate in a planted tank? Any pictures would be great as nearly all the ones ive seen on here use soils cat littler ect Thanks in advance

I like set up 3 but as said above have a play round untill your happy with it

Love that hardscape

Set up looks nice will you be adding any taller plants to the back of the tank?

Coming along nicely mate.

What a stunning looking tank you have.

Love that wood :)

After reading this lastnight I have this morning taken my daughters gold fish out of her aqua start 320 and re-homed it into my juwel lido 100 with the other 2 gold fish we have. Now to start buying bits and bobs for the 320. I can tell you my 6 year old daughter wassent to happy lol

Looking really natural and healthy

Hopefully it does spread then. Need to start adding some frets as I don't at the moment and I don't plan on going down the co2 route.

Thanks it must be vallisneria nana need to get myself some more of this.

This plant came in a plant pack from the net and I would like to know what it is. I was thinking some type of vallis?

Love the hardscape looks ace.

As people have said in your other thread in the lighting section of the forum t5's should be more then enough and if that's still not good enough for you add juwel reflectors.

Have you thought about adding reflectors to your current lighting?

Like the look of the tank mate. That piece of wood in your last setup looks amazing thats exactly the kind I'm after for my 180 before I get it set up.

Glad you got the answer you was looking for.

ive kept rcs with crypts with no problem in the past

Great idea ill have to give this ago on my juwel filter

Really nice layout of the wood mate.

Looks great mate is that more then one piece of wood? i was thinking of getting one of those tanks for the kitchen side.

Hi my juwel light unit has loads of limescale over it and i would like to remove/clean it off without damaging/scratching the plastic. Anyone know of a way of doing this?

I have crypts in my tank with cherry shrimp and never had a problem.

Ok thanks mate.

Thanks mate. Is that as cheap as these things get?

I cant seem to find one on that site mate.

Hi im wondering wheres the best place to buy one of them metal cages for the external intake pipe as i have cherry shrimp in my tank and cant use the standard plastic cage. This is the only part i need now to set up my new eheim 2213.

oh rite just i went pets at home today and they dont seem to sell any t8 tubes that fit my unit

Am i right in thinking that only juwel light tubes will fit my juwel light unit?

Hi have you thought about moss on some mesh or netting? once attached fully you can trim the moss to give a short carpet effect. Just an idea that's been on my mind for a while now as im thinking of doing a section in my low tech tank

What other hobby's do you have other then your tank/tank's Mine are as followed . Restoring old cars .Modifiying 1/18 diecast models . The odd bit of fishing now and then

Evening all tonight whilst i was doing a water change on my tropical tank my 4 yr old daughter came out with daddy i want plants in my gold fish tank like daddy's tank. So i would like to know whats the best undemanding plants i can put in to my daughters aquaone 320 cold water gold fish tank...

Great tank. Any close up pictures of the discus?

Re: Nano CRS Tank 17l Love the look of this tank will look even better when filled with plants and water. I look forward to seeing the progress pictures

As said above its a plantlet if you leave it to grow it will grow leaves them you can remove it and replant it or get rid.

Thanks for the reply's

I will be sending form large to small mate.

thanks for your input but im worried royal mail will crush them as ill be sending around 100 of the snails

Hi i need to post some malaysian trumpet snails wondering whats the best way to go about it? Thanks

Thanks for the reply's but i dont fancy cutting away at the trim so ill just have to go down the road of adding pipe and bends for now as i want to upgrade my tank as soon as i can so want to keep the lido the way it is. Hoping to get a juwel 180 by the end of the year :)

Do you mean you cut out the tanks top trim?

Any idea on what connector i would need to do this as ive just got the standard one,s that come with the filter new. Also i have vallis along the rear of my tank would the spray from the bar not force the vallis to the front of the tank? Thanks

Lovely looking tank mate :)

How and where have you got your spray bar placed in your JUWEL tanks? As ive not long unpacked my new eheim 2213 and im not sure how and where to place the spray bar as the cutout,s in the back of the tank are not at the edge (If you know what i mean lol) Look forward to any help as i really...

Wow ive just found these pictures of my tanks progress on my laptop. These pictures have got to be over 5 months old now. Please note the pictures are in a random order.

Thanks for all the replys. And for those of you who are worried that the goldies will outgrow the tank withen 6 months dont worry as the tanks for my 4 year old daughter that will most likely get bored of the tank before 6 months and my mate has a 5ft tank housed with goldies and would be happy...

Hi ive bought my daughter a pink aqua one 320 tank (28L) for xmas i was just wondering what internal filter would you says best to use?. I will be putting in 2 maybe 3 gold fish for her. This has nothing to do with a planted tank so mods please delete if need be.

Hi mate mines been set up for a couple of months now im still running the original built in filter untill i can afford a tetratec 1200 external filter. Your right the t5 units are very pricey so for now im using the standard t8 tubes along with some reflectors.

No one got a juwel lido? im looking for insperation. :D
