How do UKAPS'ers Its been four years since my last tank and ... I was in a garden centre with a maidenhead shop.... You all know what happened next... Saw a SuperFish Scaper 45 for 80 quid. Err yea, I now own a scaper 45. Found a reg and solenoid on an empty FE so I guess it's time for a new...

I tried the whole citric acid/baking soda on a 120l. The varying amount of co2 generated depending on temp and pressure really screwed my tank up. It was either nowt or very little co2 or an insane amount which couldnt really be controlled to any degree. My advice is buy cheap buy twice. I...

All of you!!!! I spend hours reading new and old threads on here. The amount of knowledge is huge so a massive thank you to you all

Some great ideas here. Thanks all. I'll have a think and look up the plants mentioned. I like the idea of having a sponge to cover it as well and maybe grow some moss on it. Thanks, Si

I have a spray bar on the left of "Slow Roast" and then a down pipe and a sticky outy bit that has a floaty surface skimmer jobby. Any thoughts on plants to hide them? Or just live with it etc etc. I don't have much cash atm so glassware isn't going to fly until next year. Would something...

Cool than you chaps

Thats exactly what i'll Ian, got egg crate in the bottom of the tank, musta thought i'd attached it. Turns out not. Problem is I can't get back to stripping it, anchoring the wood and replanting till next weekend. Will the plants be ok? Am I best to just leave the lights off and then sort...

So I finally put "Slow Roast" together today but for some stupid reason I forgot to tie the wood (whish has been soaking for a month) to the egg crate in the bottom of the tank. What a dumbass right :D :D :D I need to strip it, tie the wood to the egg crate and replant but I cant do that...

Slow Roast is coming together and is about ready for planting. If i got the blister packs and/or the 1-2 pots does any one know how long they would last before needing to be planted? Would they last a week or two ? Ta, Si

Stunning! I might have to try out my flying legs and go see it.

I got a chi. Do not get a chi :D The downside is you have to replace pretty much everything and 50 quid for a tank this size is a bit much. I went to get a spec, should have got a spec. Next time I'll get a spec.

Great, thanks for letting me know.

Ahh T8s, cool, thank you.

Thank you all. I ended up punting a chance on a Rio 125. Got it for 80 quid with stand and its in decent enough shape and is pretty clean. Got some wood on order, need a filter and lights. Can't puzzle out whether this is a t8 or a t5. Im sure T5s were smaller but its been years. Planning...

So I want a bigger tank, looking at 180-400l and finding the costs huge to start considering most of the stuff will be ignored and replaced with better filters/lights/substrate etc Looking on eBay i can get cheap but they normally seem to come with * A paint job on the back * Fish (i dont...

Hello, I was wondering if plants would pearl only via CO2 injection? For example if someone was only adding bio available carbon via flourish or easy carbo would plants pearl? Thanks, Si
