Re: How to remove fine scratches on glass on inside of Aquar Wow old thread, nice dig!

I know MTS overpopulation comes from overfeeding fish. Don't know what the story is with the ramshorns though, they just breed & breed. I never put any kind of food in my tank, just a shelled pea or two once every 2 weeks.

I like snails, I've got a horned & zebra nerite. Loads of ramshorns too, they do a great job of keeping the smaller plants clean. But again, they breed at a ridiculous rate! My tank actually just houses cleaners, RCS.. Otos and snails! MTS, Red and Brown Ramshorns and Nerites.

Danny, this is a great idea. Nice of you to volunteer to pick up all the UKAPS members stuff :lol: But yeah I'm definitely up for this :D

I LOVE your tanks! This is brilliant! Not to mention the shots and the gorgeous backdrop :O What is the emergent plant that looks like a circle made up of tiny triangular leaves ? Very interesting. Looks just great.

Much better :D :D :D Get your gear together and get this baby started then! :D

I like it the way it is. What's your plant list like ? If I were to say one negative thing... It would be that the stones aren't far enough out of the substrate. You should try and make them more "pronounced" looking. :D

Just drop water level an inch if it's open top. Doesn't stop snails unfortunately, been finding my nerite everywhere.

You would be able to get away with a powerhead, but you're going to need to dose ferts if you're going with CO2 and high light. What light are you going to use ? Regards

Re: Outdoor Planted Tank. (Vietnam) Possible? **Pics Page 4* What a lovely backdrop... Who needs tank backgrounds eh! Great hardscape too :) Looking forward to this :D

I would agree with this, even on the YouTube video they look sort of flimsy and look like the hinge on the back would end up breaking. Not impressed with them really, but IMO anything free is good :lol:

Re: Outdoor Planted Tank. Possible? WOW that wood is sooo nice.

Oh. Thanks !

What's a Moulinex ????

Re: Outdoor Planted Tank. Possible? Doesn't rainwater naturally contain carbon dioxide anyway ? Or is this just me being stupid ? :lol:

Hahah legendary!

Depends on what you're looking for, if you choose high lighting for plants with high light requirements, you will probably need to inject CO2 aswell. What kind of plants are you planning on using ?

Garden dividers. They'll hold it in place http://www.diy.com/nav/garden/fencing-p ... m-10278271 Then make sure you do some planting along the part where gravel meets sand. Or even some small rocks as a border. Otherwise it'll mix. Take a look at a few journals on here - they'll help you out...

Get reading mate on lighting, ferts, correct fishless cycling etc. UKAPS is a great resource :) Use it wisely :D Start looking up Low Tech plants, Java ferns, Anubias, Moss etc. Make a plants list of what you'd like, and what you could use as a good substrate for them. Advice on plecs.. I don't...

Get it. Get it. Get it.

Can I just ask why have you got no flow in that tank Master3z ? Kris

Its not necessary I'm sure.. But lack of it causes algae problems, nutrient movement around the tank would be a minimum.. why do you ask anyway? Doing a still water tank? Sorry for being nosey! :lol: Kris

I love this. Better watch out it'll be all over the net soon :D Great photo :D Kris

Hi, I had surface film on my little pico. Nothing helped it, but when I added lots if floating plants it seemed to go away! Kris

Re: How much time do people spend actually watching their ta My roommate's at uni think I'm weird,I go into my room for at least an hour each evening to stare at it. It's so therapeutic! And its right next to my bed too :D Kris

:oops: Just found out they have sold it 20 minutes ago, they said they werent going to hold it til later for me when they had other people interested. :thumbdown: Oh well. Probably a good thing i didnt get it ! :lol:

It apparently comes with a filter and heater, im guessing the stock lights won't be the best.. but i could always get new ones. JenCliBee what do you think of the stock lights in the hood ? Assuming you have had one or something?

Good idea :) I'm going to try and get it for £20.

Was going to pick it up this evening. Its only £25, its 2ft long 1ft wide and 15inches high and its made by tetra. Seems like a little bargain, what does anyone think? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/69/105290581.jpg

Haha. well experience and knowledge doesn't always necessarily come with age, as you prove. Yeah, Ill ebay for that anyway. Thanks for the advice!

I might do that soon, i'd probably go for the yeast CO2 due to my student budget.

Sorry, Newbie here!. Thanks for the advice mitchell. If i changed it to two 11w bulbs do i have much more choice in the plants ?

My girlfriend bought me the Aquael "Shrimp Set 30" recently, and i have the Fluval "Shrimp Substrate" in it, and a few RCS. The light is 11w and it came with the tank, along with a sponge filter and heater. The tanks volume is 30L so i know the lighting is not very good at all, i think its...
