Hi James The tank looks really good :thumbup: I bought 8 x Dwarf Neon Rainbowfish - Melanotaenia praecox yesterday, http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/rainbowfish/dwarfneon.php they are absolutely stunning, nice size and very interesting fish.

Ok, good, will you post new pics soon? Curious! :) Its a lot better now with the new Fluval, will have a proper cleaning session today, if it gets a bit cooler, I might even post some new pics.

You are not being to fussy James, would rage after this myself (as you prob know lol). Would personally request a full refund and never think about ordering from them again. Hope you get a reply soon and come up with a good result in the end. Will do a water change and trim plants today, and...

:thumbup:

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal [update 09/07/12] Nope, just 2 tubes. Btw, one of the plants I will take out is Hygrophila polysperma, have quite a bit and its on your plantlist, still dont want some? :)

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal [update 09/07/12] Ok =) I do, but also algae it seems, ill give it a couple of days and see how it goes.

I called them last week and they didnt have any filters then :?

Agree with Troi, I bought Encyclopediaopedia of Aquarium Plants £19.22 and The 101 Best Aquarium Plants £9.23 from The Book Depository, good prices and free shipping. http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/Encyclopediaopedia-Aquarium-Plants-Hiscock/9780764155215...

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal [update 09/07/12] They are doing very well thanks, will try to take some pics later today. Atm im a bit rough, after last nights dinner :shifty: Plan to change the scape a bit and replace some plants, would you like some more James?

The bits you have used to make this rig, may I ask where you bought them from? :)

Re: Richard's 200L Looks very nice, looking forward to see it come together. :thumbup:

Re: 'The Pool of Lethe' - 120x45x47, 'planted pics' Hope you are able to get the wood in the same position, looked awesome. Very good start you got there though :thumbup:

Very nice! :thumbup:

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal [update 09/07/12] Went to the lfs yesterday to check up on my Microdevario kubotai´s, will collect 30+ tomorrow :D Cant wait!

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal [update 21/06/12] Heteranthera zosterifolia

Hi would not recommend licking one :) All frogs have poison glands in their skin, but their toxins are weak in most frog species. Contact with the skin secretion of any frog can lead to skin and eye irritation. At a couple of occasions I have had a numb feeling in my fingers, after handling...

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal [update 09/07/12] This project seems to be jinxed, or just bad luck... My local shop, which doesnt seem to know much about fish, bad I know lol :) managed to get totally wrong species in.. Instead of Microdevario kubotai, they got Boraras urophthalmoides...

You make me consider poison dart frogs again... need a bigger house.. :?

Same with ours.. especially females, even brake in to the cabinet to get hold of it! Opposable thumbs!! :lol:

Sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience with us-aquaristikshop, they are normally very good. :( Hope it works out well with the stuff from tankscape though :D

Go to IKEA, bargin corner, normally plenty of boards, for VERY good prices. :wink: If you have someone that can help you cut them to the right measurements that is.

I read that it was good to wait before starting....big mistake, got major deficiencies showing after 10 days and have trouble getting the balance right after. My tank have only been up for 2 weeks though. Would suggest from day 1 :thumbup:

Ok, looking forward to see your new scape! :) Ofc you can ask James, £30.

Re: Trigon 190 'Crypt Corner' Healthy and nice looking tank! :thumbup: Big thanks for showing us/me a good solution for storage of tools, the magnetic rack on the door :clap: Definitely will buy a skimmer as soon as possible, seems to save a lot of work.

What type for stones did you get James? I bought a Koralia 1600 yesterday, to help out with the distribution of Co2, mine is placed on the left side, about 10 cm in and 15 cm from the surface, angled 45 degress and slightly down, towards the front, seems to give a good result. Will post...

Have you thought about a external reaktor? I use http://www.us-aquaristikshop.com/co2-reaktoren/co2-reaktor-ar-us32-ohne-blasenzaehler.html Very happy about it so far :)

Normally it is a delayed effect, check what colour it is after 2 hours.

Re: James3200s New Altum... :) Tank Looks great James! Very nice layout, looking forward to see it develop :thumbup: Wish I had room for a bigger tank, when I see yours... :?

Looking forward to see your new scape and updates! :)

Re: A Chocolate Puddle Now with Chocolates Omg....just keeps getting better Alastair... :jawdrop

Hi Chris I am using a Tetratec EX 1200 for my Rio 180, pleased so far, quite a new setup though. It doesn´t fit in the side cabinets, I have mine in the middle, see my journal for pictures of it. Regards, Anders

Re: Slow going, tank on a budget. (all planted up) Like it alot, good depth and the middle sloap is nice :)

Re: GHOST TREES 1.0 "flooded" Very nice and interesting project! :thumbup:

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal [update 21/06/12] Ok =) Will let you know how they get along, hopefully well.

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal [update 21/06/12] How big is your tank Darren? How much plants do you got? How long have you had them together?

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal Tonight I took a some new pictures and didn't realise how much that change in just 5 days :thumbup: Sorry for the quality, taken with mobile, need to sort my camera out. 170612 210612 Have decided to 100% what main species of fish I will have: 30 x...

Just bought my full setup from http://www.us-aquaristikshop.com/ Very good quality and prices, fast delivery aswell. Only in german, but google with translate is a good friend ; ) Check http://www.us-aquaristikshop.com/co2-druckminderer/

Welcome!

Re: ADA 60-P planted tank 'Prairie' (week 10, new photos) Beautiful! Good inspiration! :clap:

Re: A Chocolate Puddle Now with Chocolates Very nice progress Alastair! Tell us more about your plans! :clap:

Re: Aquagreen (Planted page 2) How many did you get?

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal Thank you, will prob start with 30, wait for a week, then if it feels ok, add some more. Seems tricky to even get hold of them, talked to a supplier yesterday, that have some come in this week and then my tank and the fishes will be ready for next weekend...

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal Then I correct you, they are able to manage UP TO 54W, doesn't have to be 54W. The reason I have extra fittings, as I wrote in the first posts of the journal, is that I want 2 hour "peak" in the middle of the day. Did that on my last tank, with a very good...

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal Thank you :D Used a Hagen Glo Twin 54W T5 Starter Unit and drilled holes in the flap. I plan to introduce algae eating snails and shrimps soon, but wait 2 weeks atleast with fish, what time frames were you thinking? The reason I choose the dark one...

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal Thank you, thought so regarding congo´s. Have smaller species on my wish list.

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal Thanks for your input Alastair :) Know exactly what you mean, thought about it earlier today. Trying to keep the plant mass up atm, so will let it stay abit, but will make a opening, void, there at a later point. Probably will replace, move and change a lot...

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal This is today, 17th of June 2012, one day after the start. Feel free to criticise, give advice and ask questions :)

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal Filled the tank up with water for the first time. Tried to get as much plant “mass” as possible to prevent algae. Installed the heater, Co2 and tested for leaks. Started up the filter. Had to do some adjustments to the cabinet.

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal Then it was time to get started with the plants. Got a ADA and Tropica catalog from TGM, with some really helpful information. Got started on preparing the plants. Trimmed off bad leafs and roots. Filled up with a few inches and started to plant.

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal Friday, the substrates turned up and I started with adding a layer of Aquabasis. Installed the filter. Saturday, received plants from James at TGM and went out to local shops to get more. Started with the hard scape, brown holey rocks. Took some time before...

Re: Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal Got the tank and some other bits and pieces Tuesday. Installed the extra light fitting. The background, Juwel Stone granite is in and have taken the internal filter out.

Polyester's 180 L Rio Journal [update 09/07/12] Time to start my first journal. It´s my first “real” try on a planted tank and its very much learn as I go. My goal is to create a healthy, nice looking tank with a good balance. Hope to learn a lot from others, and in some way help someone with...

Re: Aquagreen (Planted page 2) Sorry for hijacking the thread. Anyone seen them in the London area or south Essex recently? Love at first sight! :oops:

Re: giant tank for killis - photo update day 15 Like it a lot! Cant wait to see how it develops and mature! Big :thumbup:

My tank is a 180 l Rio, about to prepare info to start a journal. What tank size would you recommend as a minimum for Congo´s?

Nice tank and really like your Congo tetras! Just finished setting up my new tank and thinking what fish to buy in 2 weeks, they are on the top 5 list now :)

Just amazing! Alastair, now I see where you got inspiration from :thumbup:

Told my gf about this, and the seriousness of it. Will start building a cage today, in case she didn´t listen properly! :lol:

Re: Ollie's 120x45x45: New Pics Very nice, healty plants you got there :thumbup:

No problem to hijack the thread :wink: To say its just about Co2 and flow, is a bit "strong", since light is one of the most essential things for all living plants/animals. Aiming to get a balance between all factors. The reasons I want 4 tubes, is to get the midblast, to give a proper day...

Hiya Thanks for so quick replies Setting up my new tank, with Co2 and planning to have light 10 hours/day, 2 tubes for 6 hours, 2 hours before those goes off, the other 2 comes on, and stays on for 6 hours. Want a peak of 2 hours with 4 tubes on. My plan was to do as you did, drill holes and...

Anyone that have added extra fittings? Thinking about putting them on the "flaps" Just wanted to ask here first, if anyone got any proven and working solutions :)

One of our oldest, Ginga Some times he just have his tongue out, love it!

Brilliant scape! :thumbup: Barbus fasciolatus, you dont happen to know where to get those? Was quite a while since you posted those pics tho.

:text-welcomewave: James In the process of setting up my new 180 Rio, got it delivered today, do you got any pics of yours, in the current state?

Was obviously very tired last night...like tonight.. So didnt realise that Neweys was a wholesaler.. Question remains, anyone know where to find Osram 880, in 39 W? :?

:text-welcomewave:

Thank you Alastair. Like your projects, good inspiration and ideas.

Re: A Chocolate Puddle Now with Chocolates Really nice setup you got there Alastair! The plants are impressive, cant wait to see more picture and progress :thumbup:

Thank you for the warm welcome :D Mike, will replace the internal filter, with a Tetratech 1200, if it fits in the cabinet, goin to the shop on monday to check. Regarding the light, will keep the original and install a fitting for 2 more tubes. Antipofish, thank you for your welcome and...

Welcome :D

Just found it myself, on http://www.neweysonline.co.uk :D

Anyone know where to find Osram 880, in 39 W? Been busy on google, but no luck so far :?

Re: First planted tank. Look very nice! Looking forward to see it up and running. Think I have to change the plans regarding my new tank.

Hi everyone New to UKAPS, found it today, seems to be a very good place to get information, share knowledge and get to know people. Moved from Sweden about a year ago, living in southeast Essex. Had a break regarding aquatics, time to start again! Bought a Jewel Rio 180l tank, that I hope to...
