Re: My First Planted Tank - Juwel Rio 125 Tank is still looking great Paulo. I remember this being the tank that got me into discussion with you an ultimately over to UKAPS! As stated by many people throughout the journal, I also have a Rio and would love to get it looking anywhere near as...

Re: Tonsers 200L Optiwhite Just read the journal from start to finish and must have that it is absolutely awesome. The amount of talent and patience you have shown the whole time with the set up, not to mention the photography is amazing. Will be keeping a regular eye on this.

I came over here after LondonDragon pointed me over here. Always been a top notch forum and more importantly has a welcoming atmosphere.

Thanks Baron. Apologies for the silly question!

I work for Sealey Power Products - Draper are our main competition so would probably be shot if I ever got caught buying anything from them! :lol: On the bright side I can get http://www.sealey.co.uk/popupimage.htm? ... AK9760.jpg

Having let my tank go a bit recently (Algae kicked in badly coupled with being busy in life) and running out of TPN+ a while a go I thought that it would be a wise idea to swap over to EI/PMDD dosing as its a 240l tank and would obviously be a lot cheaper in the long run. Advanced apologies...

Hi all. After spending the best part of two hours trying to get my Akadama in a state where it is ready to go into my tank without any success I thought it might be time to come and ask the experts! Ive had the Akadama soaking outside in a bucket now for two week and wasn't at all concerned...

Bit off topic I know but just had a look at this video and its well worth a view - I know it has taught me a few things. Asking for video lessons on things for the forums on a regular basis would probably be pushing it a bit though ;) Product reviews for basic planted gear such as Substrates...

Another thing useful would be 'ideal fish for the planted aquarium' and why.

Being very new to the whole planted scene myself, Aaron has pretty much hit the nail on the head with the main questions that I found myself asking. I would expand on the 'what plants can I keep' by making a list of both high light and low light selection of popular plants (would also be handy...

You can blame LD for me being here! Post count doesnt reflect the amount I browse the forums at the moment - not the easiest to join in a technical discussion until you've learned enough to join in. :lol: Really good community on here with lots of helpful people. Pat on the back time for...

First off, sorry if this thread has already been made a million and one times. I did have a scan using the search function before hand but didn't come up with any luck. Basically, I have just received some bulbs (NYMPHAEA STELLATA) as they were cheap and thought it would be a nice addition to...

Shall have a look into that and see what I think - is it easy to grow?? Thats another major factor in what I chose at the moment. In regards to the wood - you get my wood when I get a tank that looks like the rest of the tanks on the site! Not sure if they do mail order but the last time I...

Have had another go at playing with the scape. Not really changed it about too much but I do think I am stepping back in the right direction thanks to the advice I'm getting. Plans for the not so distant future. Should have my black background with me soon (Thanks Dan!) Going to look into...

Been a bit of a while since my last update, but figured that since I hadn't really done anything with it up until now, it wasn't really worth posting about nothing. Since my last post I have ordered some TPN+ and looked through a few threads on here regarding dosing amounts and when to dose...

Re: Shrimp Only Tank - Juwel Rekord 60 Superb work with both the planting side and camera side as always LD, the close up of the eggs is probably one of my favourate pics I have seen taken since I have got into fish keeping. I Have a friend in Sweden who is well into this shrimp and he has...

Thanks for the all of the feedback so far guys. I can assure you that it is all greatly appreciate and has already helped give me a few things to think about. Regarding the wood, I was lucky in that Swallow Aquatics had a really good selection of large pieces of wood. I could have walked have...

Now onto the fun part - Stocking the tank! It took me just under 5 weeks to fishless cycle it and another week so it could stabilize which is a bit of a patience tester but I wouldn't do it any other way if I could go back. Before I start posting, I am only using a little hand held digital...

Have to excuse me for going over into a second post here but was getting paranoid that I would have another computer crash again and lose everything I had typed. As stated in my previous post, I ended up having a quick look at a few planted tanks that had based there set up around a large lump...

Hi all. Second attempt at writing this journal out. Got a long way into it and my computer decided to crash! Oh well, 2nd time lucky I hope! This journal is going to be a little bit different to the average journal that you see here in that at the time of writing, there are very few plants in...

Hi All. I've scanned all the fish shops around me and a few places online too and still cannot find a laminate background that will fit my Rio240. I've seen peoples tanks that have them so I know that it must be possible. Apologies for making my 2nd post on the forums a request, I do plan on...

Re: My First Planted Tank - Juwel Rio 125 Hey LD. Thought I would make my first post on this site in this thread since it was you that recommended that I come over here to take a look at the forums. Have spent the last hour or two having a look around and it seems like a really nice community...
