Welcome

Nice work!

“I’m very impressed. I never thought I’d be saying that about a bacterial product, but the science is sound, the product makes realistic claims, and in the flesh it has positive effects. Good effort, Evolution Aqua!“

Welcome and nice tank. You seem to have most bases covered. The M Cuba are difficult to grow. They need high light and CO2 blowing directly on it. Your hard water may be as issue as well. Good that you replaced the foreground with something more resilient.

Hi Please fill out the below template so we can get the complete picture of you setup: Tank details below: 1. Size of tank in litres 2. Age of the set - up 3. Filtration + Media/Sponges 4. Lighting and duration 5. Substrate 6. Co2 dosing or Non-dosing 7. Fertilizers used & Ratios 8. Water...

Hi BBA is difficult to get rid off. Prune the affected leaves. Start by improving your water fertilisers as per @G H Nelson. I would plant a load more Anubias and Java ferns on the wood. Fill the foreground in front of the wood and rocks with C wenditti. Increasing your plant mass will help...

Hi All I have some Wio Tigris sand. Should I wash it before putting it into the tank? Will washing reduce the cloudy water? The filter is a 3 compartment system built into the back wall of the tank. I could just put filter floss in the 1 compartment where the pump outlet drains into.

Hi nice tank! What specific advice do you require?

Interesting plant!

No problem. Us foreigners have our uses!

I love the hardscape! A lot to potential for a fantastic arrangement of the plants and moss. Is the sand covering the Aquarium soil?

Here you go:

Thanks chaps! :clap:

Bem-vindo! Where in Brazil are you from? Have you heard of the Brazilian style of aquascaping?

Hi Darrel I was waiting for your response! So it’s like supplements in health food shops! No clear scientific evidence but cleaver loop hole marketing, “it worked in lab rats so it must be good for humans”.

Hi Dave Can I have a vegetarian sandwich…..or 2 please 🙏🏿

Anyone tried this? It won Practical Fishkeeper product of the year. https://evolutionaqua.com/pure-aquarium

Howdee Matt and welcome!

Welcome Walter!

Just plug the gap next to the Crypt that’s there already.

There’s a wee gap on the right between the rock and glass. Plug it full of Crypts!

Welcome to the jungle!

Medium pace grower.

Bacopa caroliniana The current may still cause some lean.

Chihiros 30 or Twinstar 30B should fit your tank.

Hi Malik I suspect that your tank is too small, but I’m sure an expert with chime in.

@Scmelik I’m sorry if I overstepped, I was just trying to get to the root cause of your tank’s issues. The additional information you provided has give us a wider context of the issues you are having with the tank. It appears that there as a few strategies that you can implement to prevent...

Thanks @Scmelik for your answers. I’d suggest you massively increase your plants in the tank. The drift wood you have is begging for moss and Anubias. Some Echinodorus in the left back to use the height. Cryptocorney wendti for the fore to midground. Also fill up the foreground with more of...

Hi @Scmelik Thanks for posting the photo. It looks like you need a lot more plants to help stabilize the tank. Planting heavily with fast growing stem plants will help. I'd fill the background with tones of Rotala. Copy and Paste the list below...and add your answers to each number on the...

Nice work!

Welcome

Hi can you post a picture of the whole tank please? We just need to see the context. So far things seem to be heading the right way for the tank.

Bienvenue or bienvenu!

Well an algae got to breath 🤷🏾

I’ll do that !

I got mine from Aquarium Gardens. I see Horizon Aquatics also have them. It's not an all in one kit so you do have to buy all the components separately. The Bioloark Bio Bottle Terrarium SD175 is a complete steup: bottle and LED light for £70...

Thanks for the advice. Yes I’m very much into vegetarian super foods!

Hi Well you write like an scientist! No I don’t have any references about my suggestion.

Thanks!

Thanks for your comments. I put the Dooa jungle base as a first layer. Any tips for getting rid of the mould?

That’s insane!

Strong work above 👆🏾

Hi Everyone I’ve been wanting to do a terrarium for a while now. I opted to get the Dooa Shizuku Glass Pot with the wooden base, light stand, and magnetic light. The all in one clean aesthetics is so elegent…..so Japanese. Substate: Tropica Soil, sloped up to the back Hardscape: Red Moor Wood...

Thanks for your reply. This is just the type of real world scientific study aquarists need. Would you be measuring cycling parameters like: ammonia, nitrites and nitrates? Would you be doing any microbiome analysis?

Dragon stone.

Hi What’s is the aim of your experiment? What are your outcome measures?

Welcome

@ElleDee nice work with your plant growth. I’ve just read Sudipta’s post below. Very informative from a true scientist. https://www.plantedtank.net/threads/sudiorcas-non-co2-supplemented-softwater-tank.1324061/

His planting demonstration can best be described as clumsy. the ones from the reptile shop were good quality

:clap:

Welcome

Thanks did that today! My daughter was excited to add them.

I love it!

I found these recently at a local reptile shop. They are a bit chunky but robustly build. It will do the job. £6-10.

Hi Everyone The aquascaping tools are longer versions of surgical instruments. If you compare surgical instruments made in South Asia (cheap) vs German (super expensive), functionally there isn’t much difference. If you practice enough with your manual dexterity you will get both to work. The...

Welcome

Hi Everyone Is this mould on the Red Moore wood? It’s in a new mini terrarium . What do I do if anything?

I’ve dribbled some of the fertiliser water over all the plants and left a gap under the lid to reduce mould. The plants have definitely perked up over the last 48 hours!🙂

Really useful box. LED light on timer. Extra plants to grow out.

Thanks Ricky, it's a bit clunky to use!

Hi welcome and nice scape.

Hi Ricky What software did you use to design this scape?

This is insane!

Welcome and elegant work!

Where did they get the moss from?

Hi Welcome! I'll try to answer some of your questions but I'm no expert. Is anyone using the AquariumSystems Proten Led freshwater light for their aquariums, and are these lights sufficient for a planted tank? As you have a big tank, there may be difficulty in the Light reaching the bottom of...

Hi Give us the sort version of your story. Did you add the brown substrate on top the darker one recently?

Indeed!

Hi Darrel Will Salvinia natans be a viable alternative? I'm am considering it in a very shallow (15cm depth) Paludarium. The roots of the Frogbit will be to long cosmetically.

Thanks Everyone. I knocked up a diy grow nursery with some old kid: plastic box, small LED light, substrate, used plant grow wool and pots. I’ll post some pictures later.

This is the setup on my kitchen window sill.

I’ve just noticed that one of the slow growing seeds I planted in this pod 4 weeks ago has sprouted. See the 7 ‘o’ clock position at the dark hole of the black sponge.

Hi Everyone I’ve put a spring of H Cuba in one of the grow pods of my West Kent home hydroponics setup. It replicates what the big commercial farmers do but on a micro scale. I’ll update as it develops.

It looks fantastic and lush!

Which video?

Fritz at the 23:50 mark

I bet that’s cheaper than aquarium grade products!

Thanks everyone! My tap water is hard so I’ll have to use a commercial glass cleaner. I ordered Fritz.

Thanks! Even though it’s dark in there?

Hi All I have a Tropica 123, tissue culture, unopened pot that I can't use immediately. How should I store it?

Waw that's impressive! It looks great! What's you list of plants? What's the big plant sticking out in the back right? The big Anubias may suffer as it's to close to the light.

Hi All Can anyone recommend a glass cleaning spray to wipe the outside of the aquarium? I vaguely remember George Farmer recommending one.

What’s your review of this light?

You did the right thing.

Welcome. Please tell us more about the plants you have added.

Amazing work with the drift wood. It really does look like a tree stump. I don't think the black lava rocks matches with the brown wood or substrate. It just sticks out to much and unbalances the layout. I'd suggest using Dagon stone to improve the aesthetics. With all the knicks and crannies at...

Interesting project. Plant heavy from the beginning.

Welcome

I've see reviews on YouTube with excellent plant growth.

''The new Twinstar B Line is the perfect lighting for an aquarium with or without plants, where fish or shrimps...''

Welcome and nice room and tank. Please tell us more about your tank and its sump. What will go in the sump?

Welcome

Hi have a look at this video for useful suggestions for low tech setups and plants that can be used.

Welcome

Hi Lia Overall it's not bad at all. I like the sloping of the substrate from front to back. The larger driftwood on the left looks nice with lots of branches to attack moss and rhizome pants etc. The rocks have a nice colour and texture to them. My suggestion are as follows: The base of the...

See this recent thread Thread 'Buying Wood For Your Aquarium. Where and How?' Buying Wood For Your Aquarium. Where and How?

At the moment most of the retailers I’ve contacted have a very limited stock and are awaiting new stock. Those that have stock are so far away from me. It’s really hard to judge pictures online. I just got some from the wild! Where are you located?
