How is the best way to dispose of them????

Im mainly interested in those with larger tanks but comments from all could still help and might help others. Im interested in what you store your mix in and how you measure it out each day. I want to keep it quick and easy so a friend can dose while im on holiday with ease. I have a 500l...

Any help would be good. What amounts should i be putting in to a 500l tank to allow only 1-2 times a week adding. Im already putting in CO2 now my plants clearly need some better nutrition. I only do a 30-40% waterchange a month. Thanks Antony

Right after months of sorting out the house the tank is back in the game... what can i do. I have a wife to contend with that wants certain plants to stay. The Vallis must stay apparently as does the large Echindorus. The wood you can see will be hard to tear away from her too. Im really not...

Right.... been a while since i have been on here. i need a Drop checker that is a robust. my bala's keep spacking out near them and cracking them. Its annoying as its like she goes to there before doing it... if i move it.... you can see the pattern.... Is there anything better than the...

After a few posts on this and curiosity on some specs how about we set up this post for filters and there rates both clean and established. I suggest this also covers some other basic details like filter Size, Volume and Media Compartments. This should help when deciding what to use for a filter...

After a day of getting wet and then waiting for it to clear up a bit. here is the before and after results..... Before After some comments and a bit of work i have removed the wood on the right completly. made the branches more upright and added the java fern up on top if this takes off well...

This will get Updated as it gets completed DIY Reactor Well After searching and searching the only decent reactors were in germany and with the euro situation would cost me about 90 quid plus 15-20 quid delivery. 2 Issues faced me. Flow Per Hour on the reactors and 16mm tubing. With this...

How good will this be for a DIY reactor?? will this work? the reason is i have some usable parts that might work but some is slide in and tighten. Will this be secure enough????

As in the title. I have 1 that is getting bigger and would like to split it in to 2 so i have 3 in the tank. How is best to do this???

I have a 500L tank and i have set it up with 45 BPM to start with. is this too high or too low? Im running a solinoid ad i have set it about 1 hour before i get home so i can see how it is an hour or so later. If Blue then ill up it a few BPM and then im off out for a hour and will see what...

I FINALLY managed to get my Drop Checkers and i have setup the co2. Looks to be no leaks but time will tell. The bubble Counter seems eratic... Is this because it needs to get up to pressure. Also will adding another one way after the bubble counter allow a more accurate reading???? Thanks

Ok im getting to the point where i need to organise my tank. can you help me. I have in there 2 amazon swords at either end. Vallis (Im sure you will find it!!) a large echindorus (Mixed is the only name i have) i have another echindorus that is hidden and not growing well. (Hopefully with the...

Is this something that could help new enthusiasts to both fish and plant keeping. Things like PH Mineral content Chlorine or Chloramine General Hardness ETC By County/water board? or can it be just by water board? I would have found it useful when starting and even now it could be useful...

Ok after posting my other light bar im now in the thoughts of making a new all in one bar. The Plan is the bar is to house 4 x T5's and 2 x T8's to do this i need to find some flat material for running the length of the tubes that is waterproof and thin. It needs to either be a little rigid or...

NOTE: Im not responsible for electrocution or injury that may arise from attempting this…… :? Ok I am a little bored tonight so I thought I would type this up fully as it should have some use for those needed a bit more light. This is for my 5ft Tank but can be made for any size tank...

Grrrrrrrr. Thought i would setup my checker and run it for a few days before i setup the CO2 to see how much i have now and just after a water change. From my thought i think my tap has about 15ppm in it meaning i add 5ppm of CO2 after a water change. Question during my rant... will this be an...

How do you do yours???? do you empty out the fish to stop from scaring them?????? I had the idea of doing alot in 2 halves by blocking the middle out and working on oneside then the other letting the fish through between sides..... Only problem with what to segregate the tank with.........

Anyone used this company before???? http://www.aquaticbiotope.co.uk/Scripts ... roduct=827 Im tempted to ask for free delivery and at 41 quid is not too bad....

Right time rescaped and made the tank a bit neater. Im after keeping my vallis in check and not growing everywhere. to do this as someone suggested just place a barrier in the sand. Question is what can i use thats safe? i need to cover the 5ft length of the tank. Also how wide would i need...

Im after a reactor for a 500L tank. Im after the cheapest option possible at the moment as its not a cheap job seting up CO2 from scratch. I saw this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aquarium-CO2-Diff ... m153.l1262 but is it going to be ok? Other thoughts welcome. Thanks
