Lucky inhabitants! So you've managed to keep rcs with clown loach? I haven't dared to put any in with mine as I was sure they'd get eaten. I know my clowns will eat any kind of snail I put in. I stupidly put a zebra snail in there when I bought four and by the next day all I had was an empty...

Hello Barny and WOW! thats a great tank!! What occupants get to enjoy that? Viv

Good to hear things are improving for you :) Viv

Hello Geoff, love to see some photos of your tanks and pond :D Viv

I guess so! I've got three Juwels of varying size, all bought second-hand and like you had absolutely no trouble. Same with the Rio 300 I had before. Someone I know on another forum has about seven and all the light units have gone! They weren't alone in dissing them either. But, I love the...

Hello Neil, I've got a number of juwel aquariums and really like them. However, after looking up the fluval roma I'd say its got an instant advantage - it comes with an external filter (assuming your buying new). A lot of people take out the juwel internal 'cos it takes up room and is ugly...

"Ctenopoma acutirostre" Just Googled this fish and its a real beauty!! Viv

Hello Edi :) You planning on keeping any other fish with them when they move into the bigger tank? Don't forget to post photos of your current tank and especially of the new one as it takes shape! Viv

Hello John :wave: Steep learning curve ahead!! :D Viv

Hello Harry, look forward to your journal :) Viv

Hello Dave :) At least with the help available on here you should catch 'mistakes' earlier and be able to put them right faster. Mistakes are how we learn anyway!! :D Viv

Hello Katfish, I'm not too far away either :) Another nice, big tank being planted up!! What you thinking of keeping in there stock-wise? Viv

Hello bigal12 :) BTW I can only see one photo. Viv

Wecome to UKAPS jjvsk :) Viv

Hello Rudi :) I'm sure the plants will be okay this time with the help you'll find on here! Viv

Hello Blue77 :) Viv

I got a brand new 2kg FE off of ebay for £24 delivered so they can be got at reasonable prices anyway. Of course, getting one at a discount would be better! :D You might find this http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=7776 and this viewtopic.php?f=34&t=266 really helpful. I know I did! Viv

Hello BillyB. Thats not your first tank is it?! That baby is gonna take some planting! Viv

Hello Stuart :) Viv

Hiya Porksword :wave: Viv

Hello Christie, things seem to be going well for you :) I highly recommend getting FE CO2 going, but then I quickly got fed up with doing yeast mixes and switched to liquid carbon before (very recently ie in the last week!) getting my own FE set up going :D Viv

Hello Neil :) Viv

Hello Tom :) Viv

Hello David :D This is a great site with some AWESOME aquascapers and their tanks. A bit humbling but very inspiring too!! Viv

Welcome to UKAPS :wave: I'm going to be setting up pressurised CO2 for the first time soon too :) TBH I've got all the bits and pieces now. I just need the nerve to set it up!! :roll: I'm going to get the hang of it on my 180l tank before trying to plant up a 5 footer though! I hope you're...

Hello Marc :) Viv

Hello and welcome :wave: Viv

Hello Daniel :D Viv

Hello! You can get the bottle from ebay too (I've just bought one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160695664484? ... 1439.l2649 :) ). As for refilling it I've yet to find out but I've been told to try Calor. Other than this then I guess the lfs? Have you tried taking out some of your tubes...

Nice size tank to start with!! Viv

Hello Andrew :) Viv

Hello and welcome :wave: Viv

Hello Jason :wave: Viv

Hello Mark, I'm another one in Kent - also North :D Viv

Hello Graham :wave: Viv

I see! Thanks for answering :) I was lucky with my lights - had someone contact me with the offer of a T5 unit for £35 when they saw I was selling the old T8 one :D Viv

Hello Danny, I'm new here (and to planted aquariums) too. Can I ask what you mean when you say some plants aren't working for you? What are you using for filtration/flow? I ask because many of my initial problems were to do with insufficient circulation. Also, just out of interest, can I ask why...

Hello from another newbie :D Viv

I will!! Already read about the cheap pressurised CO2 set up with interest! Thinking about maybe doing one for one of my shrimp tanks :) Trouble with a forum like this is you could spend 24/7 on it! :shock: :lol: Viv

Thanks Mark! Viv

I joined a little while ago but have stayed in the background. Thought it about time to say hello! I got into tropical fish-keeping 4-5 years ago and had a go at my first planted tank earlier this year (will put a piccy in the right place in a minute!). Haven't got a lot of knowledge to share...
