Darrel. This is the report for my post code Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Ohh thank you. Will have a look through. I believe i live in a hard water area but not had ot tested. Would you recommend using RO and adding minerals to get it to the right levels or you think ill be ok with tap? Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Yeah did think of the lake Tanganyika shell dwellers. But i cant remember if i decide against it or not its been a while. Need to look up again. How many you think i can get in there? Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Yeah i didn't think so either but as i already had it i thought i ask. Might just have to bag it all up and start with an empty tank. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Any ideas? Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Hey guys been absent from the hobby for a few years back after loosing some of my fish i decided to shut my tanks down. But looking to start up again. I have a 90 x 30x 30 cm tank that i was doing to use for a Malawi set up at the time but decided not to as was maybe too small. It has ocean rock...

surely the heater wouldn't of been working they have built in stats to keep a constant water temp, so in this temp it would be mostly off during the day. please correct me if i'm wrong. sorry for you loss

any other recommendations?

do you feed bloodworms?

is it sold under a different brand name?

Hello, im toying with the idea of replacing my substrate and maybe a complete make over of my main tank possibly making a new tank if it works our cheaper than buying a new one. I'm thinking on using this FINE GRAIN MOLER/TERRAMOL BONSAI SOIL but seen everywhere about sprinkling osmocote under...

awesome, but i guess they wouldn't last long in a tank with fish?

are they of any use in an aquarium? like do they serve a purpose?

i have done it before with out any severe effect but i guess this time was a little too much and maybe left it on toooooooo long :)

yes it was outside the water.

well it not all dead and it had quite a lot of stalks, no not all was lost

Last week i cleaned my tank and decide to spot dose my anubias with some DIY liquid carbon to treat some algae on the leaves, well 2 days later the leaves where all brown and now they are just leaf skeletons, Lucky i didn't do it in all of the leafs so i still have a health ish plants just...

I'm not sure I think it's as it's the same thread as the FE I've got Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Hello all been away from here for a while I decided to do a spring clean in the corner of my tank and found this 2kg Co2 cylinder not sure what it's worth hence I'm asking thanks

:bookworm:

yes the main real used i had from it is for reminding me to do a water change :) & like people have said its links are pretty informative.

hi been using the tropica app for about a week now, i wanted to know if anyone else has used it and what are your views on it are, so far its been OK for my in reminding me to do water changes!

Isn't Freshwater Shrimp by appointment only Paulo?

sound good for people that live in very hard water areas and have glass shower panels, also around the taps to stop lime scale build up............................. I just though maybe take the water out of the toilet bowl and use this, you might never have to clean it again? ;)

Yes I will I probably won't start it until beginning if Sept as I'm goin to Maga at the end of the month but as soon as I'm back ill make a start. I will have to set up a temp home for the 2 rainbows and the plec while it all gets ripped apart.

thanks tim i been trying to place it all in my head and have a rough idea of how i want it, what low tec plants would you recommend? i was thinking something like mini hairgrass to form like a "grass field"

Blue bins? Global warming? All I see is green water and a lot of green matter? Now are those daphnia egg? Can you buy those?

i cant see what you mean by root scape :S

would you be able to get me a link to this scape tried the search bar with various phrases and words but it didn't return anything usable

Im a little confused about this post

i was thinking about going the Low maintenance route with soil based substrate and infrequent EI dosing, i wouldn't mind a black water tank but i much rather have a nice green tank that i can show off

hello all, i have had my juwel tank set up as its is for the past 3 years, i have had different plants in it through out the years, i'm getting a little bored of this scape but more i'm getting jealous of other peoples escapes, it currently houses 2 boesemani rainbows and a Plec which loves to...

i should really make some time and start on my 13l nano, but i still have no idea what to plant in it :(

i have read a number of journals where people are using heat mats under their nano tanks and i have a few Questions: What is the reason for using the heat mats? Are the mats used instead of a submersible/in-line heater? How do you control the temperature? i know there are heat mats thermostats...

ok so i think i made my list: Straight and Curve Tweezers straight, spring and wave scissor if any of you believe there is a must that i haven't listed please let me know, Thanks

would you really need spring, curved and straight scissors? can some one explain a bit about the function of each different one?

Jack where did you get your from, do you know the seller name?

What tools would a beginner need? what would be the best "budget" tools for a beginner aquascaper and where would it be the best place to get them from?

looks like I'm going to have to know on my neighbours door and as for permission to tap into their gutter to collect some rain water :)

That is pretty much what i was told/read, so should i use RO water to top-up the tank? would mixing say 50/50 RO/Tap on water change help to minimise the scale left behind? i have never used RO water before

i can't remember who told me maybe i read it some where, all i remember is that i that due to the water evaporating it always leave all the nutrients and minerals behind so by topping with tap water you would be increasing what was left behind including salts.

I do have a glass cover that come with it The Cleaning of it is not an issue, It's was more about preventing it from happening. I have an air powered under gavel filter this isn't a planted tank "Yet" ;) when topping up should i use tap water or would you recommend topping up with RO? i...

I have an Arcadia Arc tank that a week after water change I have lost about 3-5 cm of water due to evaporation and it always leaves lime scale lines making it unpleasant to look at. How do you guys avoid the lime scale left by evaporation of hard tap water ruining the nice look of your tanks...

looks like im goin to have a along wait till the end of the moth before i can start this, just need to get some plants (open to suggestions and advice on this), dry salts and liquid Co2(might go down the route of mixing my own form concentrate), and a small heater(any suggestions?)

Its looking really good, i really need to move out so i can get everything out of my head and convert it in to the real deal! :( keep the good work up!:thumbup: :clap:

any one RO or Tapwater? what is the main advantage of using one over the other? i never used or have any experience with RO in a tank

thanks just waiting for the post to be back and running normally after Christmas and NY then i shall get my dry ferts, liquid carbon and plants, however i still have one question regarding water. do i use normal tap water or do i fill it up with RO water? or half an half, is there any pro and cons?

with this i still need to dose EasyCarbo right? don't want to sound stupid just making sure. I Also bought the LED light and it has arrived, a little disappointed that the plug is an US plug and have to use a US to UK plug, the transformer works in both 110v & 220v 50-60Hz so no problem in...

have you used it before? do you just dilute the whole thing in a litre of water? :geek:

humm i just realised how much this will cost initally i think i wont actually start it until after Christmas, but the shopping list is ready :)

can you give me a shoping list?

added to my cart but quickly before i check out what sort of ferts should i be using dry salts or liquid such as TROPICA PLANT GROWTH PREMIUM FERTILISER? also if i use easy life easycarbo do i still need a CO2 Drop Checker?

i quite like this one http://www.tankscape.co.uk/lighting-/le ... ging-Light do you think it would work? do i just bite the bullet and get it?

L350 x W200 x H200

Would the light you used be suitable for my tank? the reason i'm asking is because the light seems to flood your tank evenly because its a cube and the light is also square, mine is more of a rectangle tank

Just what i thought i just needed some one To say the same

9w or 11w?

Thank you so a Arcpod be suficient for this size thank, is the 11w one ok or would it be overkill? sould i go with 9w or 11w for low tech EI dosing?

I want to get this started but I have no idea on what sort of lighting to go for. Any inputs?

Any idea on lighting for this thank? also will does a low tech set-up need dosing with EI? if so is this safe for shrimps?

nice but i was looking for something i could keep shrimps, it looks like this only has very shallow water?

Thank you didn't expect such a quick reply. I'll be putting an old pair of my sisters tights over the grill of the filter :). I do like the idea of partially emerged plants I think it would look really good. Are there any that flower? Also would I need the light higher for this?

Hello, After being introduce to this forum by another member at Aquatics Live 2012, I have decide to have a go at a Nano planted tank, bearing in mind that i have never set up a planted tank before I i'm not sure whether a Nono tank is a good start or not but i like a challenge. I Have an...
