I have my salts and scales ready and beleive I have my figures correct on the ammounts (I'm using Nutricalc to aid in my potion creation). The question I have...

Hi guys Just wanted to run this by you pro's to see if it is ok to do. I've just purchased a new filter (Aquamanta 300EX) which I plan to use in my 100ltr tank once I've rescaped it to replace the Fluval 205 that I currently use. I'm hopong to rescape the tank in a day and add my livestock...

Anyone know much about Scooby's ? Thinking of investing in an 55 plate 2.0 WRX STI and just wanted to get a consensus on people thoughts and feelings. Any Scooby owners amongst the ukaps.org crew?

Hey Guys Was just wondering if any of you have any youtube videos of your tanks? I've seen a few of Paulo's/LondonDragon's (favorite being the cat one :) ) but was wondering if any of you have vid captures of your tanks. Would seriously like to see 'The Henge' video with its occupants floating...

Hey guys I'm looking to replace the ugly internal heater I have in my tank with a Hydor External Heater. problem is I'm a little stumped as to which version to get due to the the hose connectors on the Fluval. The default hose that the 205 comes with is 14.5mm in diameter. Now I'm not too...

Hi Guys Hope the brits here are enjoying the lovely weather we are having at the moment :) Anyways, its been a year since I delved into planted tanks, and although I haven't kept a journal here, I have to admit, it hasn't been a great year for my tank. My main goal for keeping a planted tank...

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone know if its possible to buy adjustable brackets seperatley for luminaires. I own a 3x24w T5 luminaire (60cm) purchased from "eqj-trading" off eBay but the standard brackets are just too narrow to sit comfortably over the rim on my tank and I'm forever...

Hi Guys Just realised yesterday evening that for some odd reason my Fluval isn't pushing out much water. So, turned it off at the main, pulled the plunger a few times up and down fearing I might have air in the lines, and turned it on. I could then see that it was back to normal. Yet this...

I'm thinking of growing Glosso in my tank and understand that I need to have good circulation of CO2. After reading a few posts from people growing Glosso, looks like it may be worthwhile me investing in a powerhead to help circulate CO2 over the Glosso. Question is which one to get? Am I ok in...

I've just been wondering lately whether its worth investing in a spraybar for my tank over the default outlet that comes with the Fluval 205. Can someone give some benefits for introducing one or is there really not that much difeerence between the two. And yes, its for a planted tank with a FE...

Hi Guys Was wondering if any of you can give me some good tips on looking after Anubias. Currently the ones in my tank seem to suffer from Green Spot, and no matter what I do I can't seem to get rid of it. I do 50% water changes a week and dose 5ml of TPN+ and Easy Carbo a day as well as feed...

Hi Guys I remember reading in these forums about a product that you can get at AE that leaves water crystal clear. I've had a good ol' look through past post but can't seem to find the one it was in (think it was older than July) Does anyone know of the product I am talking about?

First off, I just want to say a big thanks to LondonDra0gon and Dan. These two guys have been helping me out so much with answering questions and giving advice in getting my Tank and FE CO2 system setup. So much so that Dan even gave me his mobile just incase I had an issue with the CO2 FE and...

Hey guys Just ordered my CO2 kit from ebay :D Can't wait for it to get here from Germany. Was wondering whats a decent CO2 Drop Checker kit to get? Are the one's from ebay any good or should I be looking to get a certain branded one? Cheers

Hi Guys, Contemplating getting a RO unit for the home. Not only for tank water but for general day to day water drinking too. Anyone have any recommendations on one that is pretty easy to setup up and sits under the sink? I would prefer it that it didn't have additional tap to be installed on...

Well, just checked my aquariums pH value, and its sitting high at 8.5. Been running the aquarium for two weeks (still cycling without fish) and the tank is stacked with some Hygro Poly, Amazons, Microsorium, a few Anubias and some wilting crypts :$ (sorry if I've got the spellings wrong still...

Hi Guys, I'm coming up to the end of week 2 of cycling my tank. Even though I had rinsde the gravel before placing it into the tank, looks like I didn't do a good enough job as it seems I've got residue or something floating at the top of my tank. Question is, is there some way to get rid of...

Well, have had a small shoal in my old tank for about half a year now; and I'm kinda at odds what to do with them once I move to my new tank as they're kinda quite aggressive and was hoping to start keeping a few shrimp along with other fish. In my current tank I have 2 shrimp (Amanos) which...

Hey guys, I've been looking at loads of plants over the past few days, on these forums, other websites and in the local MA and just wondering what plants you guys would recommmend for a beginner to start with in a low cost low maintenance tank. I'm probably going to start with using Easylife...

Hi guys, this is my first post here on these forums, so please forgive me if I sound nooblish...I am :) Anyways, I've kept you're average tank for over 5 years now, but recently I've needed a hobby so I'm delving into the world of planted tanks :D With hopes and dreams of owning a wonderful...
