Not sure how to add a video on here but here is a link to my aquarium which I took just before adding the Purigen... so I can do a before and after ;) http://youtu.be/fh04xU_kcGc Nothing compaired to the aquariums featured on here, but I'm getting there slowly with plants... at least they are...

Well I'm slowly getting somewhere with the Qube after the Bogwood finally decided to show up :jawdrop Wood was a little tall so had to trim it a tad in order to fit the glass lid back on... Attached some plants that I had managed to collect ready for the wood and submerged, now has Needle...

Qube update: Plants are just loose at the moment, awaiting the bogwood arrival which I fear is currently stuck in the Christmas parcel backlog as I was told it was dispatched on Friday via first class recorded delivery but still hasn't arrived :( Please excuse the dirty glass, hasn't been...

Quick update on the 4ft... The daily dosing seems to be working, plants are currently still nice a green and growing with (dare I say it) no signs of any algae :thumbup:

25L Aqua-Qube Journal Due to the main 4ft Aquarium being situated in the living room, I have been considering a smaller version for the study as I spend so much time in there with course work and forum browsing... Recently I managed to pick up a second hand 25L Superfish Qube which fits...

Re: TetraUK's Tank Journal Hi Alastair, I have added a signature now with my stock list... plant list is growing slowly, just need to find some tall growing low tech plants for the rear now, however the live stock should be remaining the same unless i come across a few more giant kuhli loach...

Re: TetraUK's Tank Journal Cheers for you time again Alastair.. Did read it was only active for a two weeks and had planned on removing it Monday anyway but thanks for confirming it shouldn't effect the plant growth. Daily dosing sounds good, does 5ml a day sounds right? (Weekly dose is 10ml...

Hi Ian, Lovely looking scape, shop owner must be over the moon. :clap: Can I ask about the lighting... are they TMC AquaRays?

Re: TetraUK's Tank Journal Thanks Alastair, The second light is just so bright though.. but yes it does show the plants off well. Not sure which is best for them though as I originally added the second plant gro bulb thinking the plants would benefit from the extra light but then I was having...

Re: TetraUK's Tank Journal Update on the aquarium, after adding the new plants and fish... Low lights: 1 Strip (My prefered lighting option) High Lights: 2 Strips (Too bright for my liking but I turn it on a few hours a day for the benefit of the plants) Uploaded with ImageShack.us...

Re: TetraUK's Tank Journal This morning, the postman arrived with my fish delivery from Kesgrave Tropicals and a packet from another fellow fish keeper which contained a clump of nice green Vesicularia ferriei. Fish acclimatised and plants attached to wood... Had to do a little re-scape as the...

Re: TetraUK's Tank Journal Thanks for checking in again foxfish - Much appreciated :thumbup: From what you have explained, I think I am best probably going with a low tech planted aquarium and then maybe in the future move on if I succeed. Today I got 5 Anubias barteri var. nana and have...

Re: TetraUK's Tank Journal Thanks hinch, I had never thought about the RO not having enough minerals or nutrients for the plants, I only started using when I got the discus and even though I sold them on ages ago I haven't stopped using it. Not sure why :crazy:

Re: TetraUK's Tank Journal I have just realised that I forgot to mention in my intro and stats that I only use RO in the 4ft.. but I may have to review this as I cannot currently do the trips to the LFS at the moment as I'm not able to drive due to a broken toe. Not sure if this will make any...

Re: TetraUK's Tank Journal Hi foxfish, Thanks for your reply, nothing at the moment. I have attempted to dose co2 before in a smaller tank many years ago but only using one of the Hagen Co 2 Natural Plant Systems which I believe was a diy mix of sugar, yeast and baking soda. Worked ok but...

Hi All, New guy here, hoping with the help of this forum that I can improve the look of my 4ft aquarium... Have attempted a nice planted tank a few times but everything seems to look poor over time so ends up being ripped out binned and replaced. Recently I gave the aquarium a spring clean...
