Any suggestions for new plants and a rescape would be great! :D

Update. This tank had gone through various stages of overgrowth, recently gave it a trim but was a bit heavyhanded on the left hand side :p Recently there has been some bad algae problems so I'm going to empty and replant this weekend so thought I'd post the final update.

Hi guys, this has become pretty overgrown but I really like the look of it, I got some glowlight tetras and a couple ottos last week and I just thought I would show off some pics. These pics were taken with a phone camera, so not great quality

Small update :) The back stem plants have grown in really well, I don't have a foreground plant still but I think the substrate is too shallow for anything really but it looks fine without IMO. Currently I am not injecting CO2 because the cylinder ran out and I have not bought a replacement yet...

Thanks Tim, I will give that a go when I next do a water change

Hi guys, Just thought I would post a picture and ask for a bit of advice. [IMG]http://[URL=http://s1084.photobucket.com/user/brickdagecko/media/IMGP4029_zps8309dbd8.jpg.html] The stem plants at the back are growing great but some I think need a trim already, and this would be my first attempt at...

Thanks Tim, I will have a go at that

Hi guys first journal here, glad it has finally happened after many delays! Specs: Tank: 30cm cube - superfish Lighting: Superfish led - came with the bundle Filter: Internal superfish aqua 100 CO2: TMC glass kit Fertiliser: Tropica premium fertiliser Hardscape: Mini landscape rock and...

Okay, thanks guys

Hi guys, Quick question, i filled up my tank yesterday for the first time, how often should i be doing water changes now and how much? Thanks

Thanks guys, seems like a good choice, i think i will go for that

Hi guys, Need some help choosing a plant for a small carpet in my 30cm cube, this is my first planted tank so I want a relatively easy carpet plant, some tank info: 30cm cube Dosing Tropica Specialized Fertilizer Using pressurized CO2 3 watt LED lighting Tropica plant substrate I like the look...

Okay thanks guys, I currently have 7 potted plants in a big pan under a desk lamp, no heater, do you reckon that's okay or should i remove the light?

Hi guys, I just got some plants from AquaEssentials and they look great and I'm really excited to begin planting , but I have to wait a couple days to plant them, any ideas on how to store the plants a few days before I begin planting? Thanks

Hi, so I am hoping to start my first aquascape soon, it is a 25 litre cube and I think I'm going along the high-tech route because I have CO2 and I want to grow HC which I know needs high lighting. Anyway, the LED I currently have is 3 Watts so I was wondering if that would be good enough to...

Spartacus, where is the first picture taken?

Okay tim thanks for the advice Hahaha :lol: , thanks for the nice comment, I really like this, it is basically zero maintenance but is nice and green :D

Hi guys, no update on this really just a question, would amano shrimp be suitable to keep in this? If so how many? It's because I've been noticing algae in the bowl, I think that is down to me moving this under a lamp Thanks, Caleb

Thanks for the advice guys, Ady would 4 cherry shrimp do okay in this? Also would dosing Neutro T be beneficial for this?

Okay, thanks for the feedback Henry

Thanks for the suggestion guys, I think my lfs has minnows so I might go down and get 4, does that sound okay? Also would they be okay with 3 red cherry shrimp? Thanks

Thanks, I'm currently looking at getting some shrimp for this :D

Thanks mate, I have done practically no work on this, water changes are really easy with it being so small

Hi guys, haven't updated on this in a while, there have been a few changes. First of all added some red rooted floaters from BigTom which add a really nice bit of colour to the bowl, it seems new floaters are already growing of of these which is great. Also the bowl had to be moved from the...

Tk Maxx had some good bowls in the home department

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but was wondering where you got the crabs from?

I'm planning on doing water changes at least once a week, at about 10% each. Also I'm hoping to add some thai micro crabs some time soon, anyone had any experiences with these? Thanks, Caleb

Hi, So I had been looking at getting a nano fish tank for my room for quite some time, but not having a job means I couldn't really get one for myself. Anyway, one day in a super market I see a bowl and tell my mum I could set up a small planted tank for the kitchen, which she agreed on, so I...

Great looking vivs though :D

Try reptile forums uk (RFUK), these will be snapped up immediately

Hi I just got some riccia through the post but don't have my tank ready or any dechlorinator, if i put the riccia in a bowl with straight tap water will it be okay for a day or two on a windowsill? Thanks Caleb

Hi, sorry about bringing up an old thread but I'm hoping to try and recreate something similar to this and I was wondering how you attached the riccia to the CD? Thanks, Caleb

Would I need to float it just to make sure I have enough or is it for another reason? Because I don't think I will need much and I could buy enough

Would I need any ferts?

Forgot to say this would be grown immersed not emmersed

Hi Would I be able to grow moss (Riccia) on a windowsill with only natural light, water changes every week or so and dosing ferts?(not sure which ferts would be required) to create this sort of effect : Just for fun 5l bowl | UK Aquatic Plant Society Thanks Caleb

I have been thinking about trying one, i was planning to put this on a windowsill, so not much light so maybe a wabi might be more suited for me

Hi Picked up a small bowl today think it is glass, it's 4l 17x21 (diameter x height) but need some help with scaping it, I have in mind doing something like this Just for fun 5l bowl | UK Aquatic Plant Society here are some pics of the bowl Thanks, Caleb

thanks tim

Hi can anyone remember the thread where someone grew moss on a cd in a very small tank or bowl, as i have seen a bowl for sale and thought i could do something like that

Im assuming if you have cats it's not so good to have an open top tank

First name then initials from middle and last name

It would load then play for a bit then go black, a reloaded a few times and did the same thing, disappointing as it would be interesting to see how you scape this live, oh well :rolleyes:

I got into it fine, it prompted for the password as soon as the link loaded up, watching now :)

Have a 9 year old terrier cross thing who is really nice but growing grumpier by the day with his old age, and have a 7 month old greyhound. They are both really calm and good around my 5 year old brother

Also is there anyway usernames can be changed?

what moss is on the wood?

Thankyou for the warm welcome

Is the tropica CO2 system you're using the disposable one?

Thanks for the recommendations guys :) will check them out some time hopefully

Have you found any good shops near?

Hi, where abouts are you from?

NanoJames - yeah it is the 8litre MicroHabitat I'm hoping to get, I've had a look at your journal and it looks really good Ady34 - This site is really helpful and I'm grateful for any help I get, I keep trying to get the fluval up and running but it is really heavy and requires at least 4 people...

Hi guys No tanks yet :oops: hoping to get a tmc microhabitat some time soon, but I'm tight for cash being only 15, need a job :p But my dad has big fluval tank which I hope to help set up with him some time soon, but it is still in the basement after moving house. Hope to visit aquajardin some...

I really like this set up by George Farmer but is there any alternative to the pogostemon helferi which can grow under this light well?

thanks for the info :) do you ever have to do water changes?

I really like the scape, and that would be the sort of effect I would like to create with the bushy plants :) Does the CO2 benefit the plants in this small a tank? Where did you get the CO2 from?

Hi guys, this is probably a very common thread but I want some help deciding. So, is this a good kit for the money TMC Aquagro MicroHabitat 8 (Advanced) | Charterhouse Aquatics Would this need CO2? Would it require dosing of fertilisers, if so which ones? (I don't know too much about ferts at...

Hi I'm new here, My dad has a 46x16x18 inch tank and he has enlisted me in sort of designing the tank so I'm wanting to plant it quite heavily. So what is needed? Our current equipment is a lid with light holders but we don't have lights and my dad thinks we have a good filter. Could you also...
