How's the tank coming along?

Tbh,I wouldn't bother with the hc,it can be a pita if your lights and co2 aren't right.I made the mistake originally of getting loads of different kinds of plants,I think less is more really,in terms of species anyway.

Imo,I'd go with the stump,or the snaking branches,not both.If you need caves,you can hide them in the background plants.If you want to see them though,your link made me think,you could cover flat/large pebbly shaped stones with the moss and net as shown,do the same with two or three coco...

Hi Assaye!!!Good luck with the tank,dosen't look too bad,I know what you mean though,the greens don't seem vibrant.I think a lot of that will sort itself out once you've got your ferts and co2 sorted. I think introducing a bit of hardscape would help,two or three interesting pieces of redmoor or...

Lol,I'm with you on that one SC.

Lol :lol: All these housewifes and businessmen going about their everyday lives,we're all part of a secret underground society.I wonder how many of us even talk bout it to our oh's?

I'm no expert but I've read enough to know that it's quite common for crypts to die right back then start sprouting again.Also,the anubias,I'd be inclined to look for different reasons for it's die-back.Is it new?Did you trim it back or remove any dying leaves?Where did you get it,how have you...

(I have two already!!!)And not a peep from the bf so far!!I'm only running the tank in my wee boy's room at the mo though as substrate etc for my main tank is killing me,think Santa's going to bring me the rest of it!This tank in Grant's room is being set up 'cheaply' lol,it was free,and has...

There's someone on TFF selling ruby vallis CHEAP!!!Sorry,this:Red Serpent Vallisneria Vallis Rubra

Yep,asked in the shop for two 3amp plugs,of course they only had 13 amp,was very surprised when I asked to get 3amp fuses also and said that was pretty intelligent (I know him!!),and I'm not fick ALL the time. Filter filtering away!!(YEEHHHAAA)My 1st tank for about 15 years!

See!!I would have got a 5 or 13,hopeless I am!(thank you).

Please don't laugh guys,but I've got a fluval 2 plus filter I've just inherited with no plug on (which I want to buy a plug for at lunchtime).What amp plug will it need?I always struggle with this :oops:

That mountainscape was superb and everyone knew it was as soon as they saw it.A bit like Luis' tank.I agree about the third place tank.Could have been superb,fantastic piece of wood.....if,it had been clearer,and,the planting was imo,a little off.Don't get me wrong,if it had been spot on it...

Haha,I voted gourami.Am I very common? :lol: I'm a sucker for them,my bro's kept them for years.I may be about to reveal just how vulgar I am,but I love the moonlights and pearls,and some of the dwarves are stunning.

More of an admission really :oops:

Lol,this is good though,we NEED idiots guides. :)

Might be a good idea for anyone doing this then to cover with a bath sheet first and then plastic (to soak up condensation).

Get a cheap Mr Site package and you can also add on a little shop to sell your excess plants.Would be good for inexperienced (hell even experienced ones) to see the plants in action so to speak and be able to buy them too.You might be surprised,I have a little site that chugs along beside my...

Thing is though,and I know someone has already thought of it AND done it.But there's probably more action on the buy/sell/swap section on here than there is on the whole of that auction site.

Cool,way to go till it reaches Aquabid proportions but good luck to them.Gulp at the plecs,hasn't someone on here got a load of those?

:lol: Ah well.

A UK aquatic auction site?Like Aquabid,or is that a bit ambitious?

Lucky you,seen the price of the new ones.Just had a quick squinty and if anyone's interested,there's one finishing in a couple of hours still pretty cheap too.(fleabay).

Well folks,I know I'm a noob,but really,your stories ((((((hugs))))) to all.I recently lost my brother too,heart attack at 42 years of age,incredibly sad and I still struggle emotinaly most days.Someone put it so well,it is therapeutic,you find yourself,pardon the pun,totally immersed in the...

Hello there!!Nice to see another Scottish member,in fact it's just great that there's a UK forum,but imo,most 'real life' fish shops up here are pretty poor,so it'll be good to build a network to up the ante!!
