Re: Nano Tor, Andyh's 35l (update 17/01/2011) The Dennerli are a stunning Cardinal....I think if you can keep them for over 4 wks then they should survive as the transit shock and poor water quality at the LFS tends to make the mortality rate considerable. Although getting the PH and water...

Re: “Nano Tor”, Andyh's 35l (UPDATED 21-12-10) Andy...do you think it's as good as ADA quality price wise...? Have a brilliant break and a happy new year...

Re: “Nano Tor”, Andyh's 35l (UPDATED 21-12-10) Andy...what's your view on the Cal Aqua glassware....Did Santa come early..?

Re: “Nano Tor”, Andyh's 35l Nano Scape [Currently doing 1 x 50% water change per week, at this point i dose 3 drops of Green Gain and 8 drops of Phyton Git Dosing daily; ADA Brighty K 3ml & Step 1 3ml and then every other day Green Brighty Special Lights 3ml. Lights 7 hours, CO2-green drop...

OK.....update is that I have moved the 30cm cube back downstairs after the re-decorating job in the front rm. After the disaster that was the Crown Indulgence Crochet paint not looking like anything it did in the brochure the room was quickly (2 days) painted over in a Farrow & ball I've balls...

As this is a low tech setup there is no C02 infusion at present although have good flow from the custom spray bar/ power head - sponge filter, as mosses at substrate level show flow movement...Some shrimp forums state to keep the flow in the tank to a minimum with just a bubble/sponge filter...

Need some guru advise as to what liquid ferts I could use with shrimp(CRS), as I'm using a JBL nano ferrapol 24. All mosses, anubia's and Postemon species are fine but the Staurogyn P. has gone through it's melt and lost most of it's leaves. I thought it would recover but it looks like it's had...

Thx for the conclusive read Darrel...I agree with your concerns that keeping the Sulawesi is not going to be an easy ride, but hey that is the challenge I like. I like your idea of experimenting with Epsom salts and intend to run a few water tests. Winter is now closing in and I have decided...

Update is that I've carried out yet another water change (75%) and tank is clearing nicely. I've added R/O water with added Malawi buffer and this brings my PH up to around 8.0 > 8.2. Nitrates, nitrites and Ammonia all around 0.0 ppm and TDS is around 180...so it's looking ok... Added some...

Hi Nick....Think either my edit wasn't clear or that you have mis-read my quotation. The challenge for me is keeping the smaller nano due to the difficulty of keeping water params perfect.. Totally understand that you bigger tank enthusiasts have an easier time regarding water balance. :lol:

Hi Luke...Thx for the comments, always appreciated. The Wave Cubo is a 30 litre-ish tank. Great for a small colony of shrimp and selective shrimp breeding. They also do a slightly larger footprint (rectangle) 45cm tank which I'm recycling for a small group of CRS and nano fish setup. I'df...

Hi Jo...thx for the info and I'll attempt to be bold in my scaping although this is meant to a be a shrimp breeding environment with an attempt of aquascaping....Hope my little scape is not to minimalistic and twee( my tree stump is not a Bonsai....Its a rotten hulk of a Quercus Robus) Cannot...

As this will be a shrimp only tank (breeding colony) I could do a very simple aquascape but I do want it to represent a river flow so will hardscape and plant accordingly. The issue being that I want to utilise a sponge filter for better baterial load and a food grazing area for shrimplets...

Hi Guys...newbie of sorts but have been enjoying the forum threads of the guru's amongst us and learning bucket loads, which is what this fine forum is about. I have had some success in tropical fish keeping and have had a nano cube tank in my living room for the last 6 months. Limited space...

Re: English woodland Nice shrimp close up John...what camera settings ?

Re: English woodland Hi John..The woodland scape is looking great and cant wait for the tank to fill in.. I've kept the Coral Red Pencil fish ' Nannostomus mortenthaleri ' Prefers dim lighting and will show its colours better over a dark substrate. It looks superb in a heavily planted setup...

Re: A Yorkshire Beck - 120l Crossing fingers Jo..... :thumbup:

Re: A Yorkshire Beck - 120l I think you have made the rightchoice with TGM....My local Maidenhead does get a variety of plants in but they are only at their best when first delivered. After a few days the plants are pretty tattered and showing signs of algea growth. Shame really that more LFS...

Re: A Yorkshire Beck - 120l Nice start to the scape JO....Enjoying the river pebble effect. Now I know I dont get out too much but when have Weasels been one eared and pink...or is the paper mache model not complete.... Don't tell me it's abstract art.....LOL

Hi PM...nice setup and enjoying the thread. re your quote ' I've also ordered ten Sakura shrimp from here: http://www.fraku-aquaristik.de they should arrive on the 8th of September '..... Can I have yout views on ordering shrimps from the above company and how many (Sakura) survived the...
