    12 liter shrimp nano final update

    Re: 12 liter shrimp nano Looks like a great start - bet it will look fantastic once it's all filled in :)

    Just for fun 5l bowl

    Looks really nice :-) If you've got breeding shrimp, you could just put the babies in there until they grow up - may be especially handy if you've got fish who may eat them.

    How to get rid of green water and green spot algae?

    Bit of an issue with green water. The tank is in front of a window but has a background on the window side of it. Issue has only come since the tank was gutted out a few weeks ago. Not sure of light hours or the power of the light, if that would affect it, sorry. In a different aquarium, what...

    Ian's nano cube

    Looks nice, Ianho. Noticed I don't think this was put on TFF though... :lol: Admittedly I did like the original scape with the rocks - what made you want to change? Still looks great as always though. What are the dimensions of the tank?

    Aquanano40 CRShrimp tank....Journal Closed.

    Re: Aquanano40 Shrimp tank.... Saw this in my local PaH store a while back - really like what you've done with the wood there. I'll have to keep an eye on this one ;)

    ADA 60-P planted tank 'Prairie' (month 5)

    Re: ADA 60-P planted tank (week 6) Looks great - I wish I could aquascape like that :lol: I have been thinking of setting up a nano shrimp tank similar to this actually, what carpet plant is that?

    Where can I buy wood in the UK?

    Ah, that's why then. Guess I'd better get posting a little more ;)

    Where can I buy wood in the UK?

    This might sound silly but I can't find the sale section, where is it? :lol:

    Where can I buy wood in the UK?

    Big Tom: Would it be a good idea to soak it beforehand? No need for any further "safe-ing"? Don't want to introduce any nasties into my tank. Ady: Will take a look around, thanks.

    Where can I buy wood in the UK?

    Thanks. So is pretty much any wood ok - could I litterally go around a wooded area and find wood to use so long as it's dead (on the ground, sort of thing)? How can I 'make it safe' for use in my aquarium?

    Where can I buy wood in the UK?

    Don't think LFSs have any - haven't checked TFF actually, I'll have a look. Thanks for the tips about the "collect yourself" species. I was aware there were some, but aside from oak I wasn't too sure other than general hardwoods. I'll have a look around and see if I can spy any. Do they have to...

    Where can I buy wood in the UK?

    I'm looking for a small amount of redmoor, sumatran or manzanita wood to go in my small 30cm tank, but I'm having trouble finding the right piece/s. So far, I've checked out AE, TGM, eBay, Aquarist Classifieds and probably a couple of other sites along the way, but I'm really struggling. Does...

    Aquascaping advice wanted *now inc plans*

    Re: Aquascaping advice wanted *inc pic* Ok, I've actually found a plan I did a while back which I still quite like. •a & b - maybe some of the two types of sword I already have in my tank? •c - something to go in the middle of the wood •d - anubias on wood, which I already have (unsure...

    Re: Aquascaping advice wanted *inc pic* Ok, thanks for all the advice. I'll have a think and try to come up with some kind of plan, then maybe put it on here to get your thoughts on it :)

    Aquascaping advice wanted *now inc plans*

    Re: Aquascaping advice wanted *inc pic* Thankyou very much for the replies. Darren, that's sort of what I meant, do you know of any ferts which provide both macros and trace, or should I just buy a macro fertilizer? George, I'll have a read through the aquasaping basics you suggested. What...

    Aquascaping advice wanted *now inc plans*

    I planted out my tank a few months ago and plant-wise, things don't seem to be going too badly. I dose daily with EasyCarbo & a fertilizer providing trace elements, though I have been told that it would be better to have some macro ferts in there too and intend to get some of those as well...

    Chilli Rasbora

    6 Should be fine in 23L, they are tiny little things. Other microrasboras would probably be fine too. Considered endlers or ember tetras? Both pretty tiny as well.

    Advice needed for an aquascaping newbie

    CPD's are nice, saw some in an LFS a few weeks ago. Managed to grow any plants nicely? Ferts/CO2? Just wondering for ideas ;) Would pointing the spray bar more towards the bottom of the tank be better?

    Advice needed for an aquascaping newbie

    Yeah, it is an AquaStart 320. Might I ask what you have in yours? Thanks for all the advice. I've had little experience with hair algae in the tank but I've had plenty BBA and diatom algae before. That was mainly before I introduced live plants, though. I've currently just got a bit of brush...

    Advice needed for an aquascaping newbie

    The King British doesn't specify exactly what it contains. I have tried looking on their website for further info, but to no avail. Perhaps I should email them sometime, see if I can get any info there. Not sure if there's a way to test it, but the flow doesn't seem too bad. The plants don't...

    Advice needed for an aquascaping newbie

    Thanks for that. I have read that about vallis & liqud carbon, though I have also read that so long as you don't overdose you should be ok. I have also heard that different types of vallis take it better than others. I suppose I shall just have to wait and see. If it doesn't turn out too great...

    Advice needed for an aquascaping newbie

    Thanks for replying, I'll take a look at that threat. Sorry, forgot about lighting. I believe it is 11W. Lights are usually on for about 7 hours a day. The tank is opposite to a window (on the opposite side of the room), though it doesn't let much light in.

    Advice needed for an aquascaping newbie

    I'm pretty new to aquatic plants, starting out with some hardy anubias a few months ago. A few weeks ago, I decided to get rid of my silk plants and take the plunge into an "all-live" tank. I have hygrophila polysperma, anubias (unsure of what type), vallisneria (americana oramericana var...

    Hi

    Hi there, I've just joined UKAPS, after seeing the amazing scapes people have created. I'm a member on a couple of other aquatics-related forums and have been keeping fish for several years. I'm new to aquatic plants & aquascaping and have recently planted out my 7.4 gallon tank, which I am...
