Some of you will have seen my ramblings over on the dark side, my change from high tech to low and dirty 260.
I feel I need to commence dosing ei and am unsure as to how much, after much reading and taking in many differing opinions i'm now full of information but cant seem to put it to much...
So I've had an Aqua One Aquaspace 40 tank sitting around collecting dust for about a year, was originally bought as a quarantine tank, so it's about time I cracked on and filled it with water. This will be a low tech dirted tank with plans for some red cherry shrimp, and maybe half a dozen...
I have hundreds of these fellas in my tank, they are also breeding inside my two filters.
I do have mts and a few large pink ramshorns but are these also ramshorn snails?
Anyway of reducing the population without harming my other snails?

OK peeps, I need to order my soil cap over the next few days, it's going in a 260 litre and my scape will hopefully have an open area to one side not fully planted, so sand choice now would preferably have more of a natural look to it aesthetically.
I have narrowed things down to maybe these...
I'm changing over my high tech 260 to a soil based tank in 3-4 weeks when my last bottle of c02 runs dry.
So, I've been trying to mineralise my 35 litres of top soil outside doing the usual wet/dry cycles for over a month now and due to the weather i'm only on my 2nd drying cycle. I'm just not...

I have a colony of small white flat spiral shaped snails which can have only been transported from the Matrix as no new fish or plants have been added to the tank for four months.
Here's a poor pic from my phone
They are most likely from when I changed the substrate 4 week's ago and added...
I've been reading all the existing posts on similar request and am hoping to set up a tank in the same way as Paulo:-), I have no space where the tank is situated for an external, so am leaning towards either an internal with spray bar or what really interest me are the Eheim Liberty HOBs...

Hi, we are having a power cut at the moment and the estimated time for power to be back on is 8.30 tonight which will be 4 hours the tank will have had no lights or filtration etc, I've just finished a 50% water change and maintenance on one external filter and dosed my macro solution, just...
I have all I need for my (foxfish) co2 reactor but before I plough on and build it inot my filter return pipe I am now considering using a stand alone water pump just for the reactor and build a full length 4 foot spray bar.
My tank is a 4 foot Fluval Vicenza 260 bow front, currently running 2 x...
I am confused as to which way round they should go, if it makes any difference?

I have a Fluval Vicenza 260l tank currently lit by 2 x 39 W T5's with reflectors.
