Very helpful thank you! Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk

Hi All I've not been on in quite a while. Since posting last I've completely done away with CO2 and Ferts and am now quite enjoying a 100% Low Tech but equally clean and green heather wood scape. Pic Below Does anyone have any ideas for hanging terrestrial plants in soil onto the side of an...

What do you use for CO2 and ferts out of interest? Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk

Yes I'm adding more sand (when it arrives and I was hoping to raise it up a little more. Ive already buried the secondary stone to try and reduce that down a bit. I'll see how that looks. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Hi All, Ive decided to rip down my tank and start something new. Just a basic Iwagumi with hairgrass (And maybe one other I find something that goes well). I'm hardscaping today but Ive found that I'm still as clueless with iwagumi as I've always been. Ive found That my rocks are just too...

Its fine, I have some as my shrimp guard on the filter inlet Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Does the baster leave the substrate behind? I keep accidentally dumping white gravel from my temporary tank back into my new scape!

I rescaped today..what an absolute nightmare. I knew I was in for a challenge catching them all but I had no idea just how hard it would be. I tried all of the above methods and still had hundreds left in the tank come drain down. Casualties were inevitable, I was trying to catch babies at...

Hi All, Im sure someone at some point has come up with the same idea but the more I look at peoples garden ponds the more I start to wonder how possible it is to create an aquascape created with common garden pond plants found in the UK. I was thinking of wood and rock beneath the water with...

Thanks guys, that looks to be a good option, I didnt fancy sitting there fishing them out. Id rather do it gradually and put them into a separate tank on the days leading up to rescape.

Hi all, My current scape is an iwagumi made up of carpet plants and rocks. As I'm going to be rescaping soon I decided to have a go at catching cherry shrimp with a net in preparation for a mass tank emptying. The rocks and plants made it very difficult to catch any, let alone the several...

Hi All, Ive just booked a spontanious week away to Kusadasi, Turkey with the girlfriend, Firstly, whats the best strategy for holidays when you dont have (or trust) any people to drop in on your tank? Ive been reading a lot of posts, and seem to have two options; Tone down lights and CO2 or...

As you may have seen, mine broke down after a month but luckily my water was cold not hot. I for one will be sticking to internal heaters even though my Hydor will likely be replaced under warrentee. Not worth the risk for me personally. Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk

Cool, another tank the same as mine that I can watch develop :) Always nice to compare your experiences with other people. Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk

Nathaniel, Thankyou very much for the offer, but don't worry, ill be patient and probably use this filter start stuff anyway. Thanks :)

Great sounds like the bacturr gel was a waste then :/

Hi All, I feel like this is a real amateur question to be asking but hey ho, If I am starting a new tank, and I have bought some live bacteria for the filter startup, can you then introduce shrimp immediately even throughout the initial large and regular water changes period or should I put...

As far as I know heat mats are used for dry starts to keep the humidity in the tank whilst the plants spread, but personally I found that all the plants above the mat died out, the heat wasnt enough to keep them humid and I would have been better off just filling the tank and using a normal...

I have just found a picture on google of an example of a 10kg box with a ruler next to it and it appears you dont get very big pieces which will be no good. I was hoping to have around 5-7 Stones, one of which about 20cm tall and the rest getting smaller. I dont think I'll trust online now. Im...

Hi All, The aquarium stores in my area are pretty poor for aquascaping equipment and materials. Getting decent substrate and rock is near on impossible. I have found good types of rock for sale online, one of which is dragon stone which has caught my eye. The issue with buying online is you...

Hi all, Ive just read on someones website that an hour long break in light each day kills algae. Apparently this is a new scientific discovery that plants can survive this hour long break but algae cant. Is there any truth in this because it sounds a bit hard to believe to me.
