    Hi @diirrtydubcakeZ I had a look at your tank online, have a look at the link http://www.koi-zone.co.uk/Medium-Rectangular-Aquarium-Fish-Tanks/Fish-R-Fun-54-Litre-White-Rectangular-Aquarium-FRF-585WH-p-2044.html It states on the web page that you can make it rimless. Regards, Jim

    Welcome to ukaps. I use JBL aquabasis and manado and it's working fine. if you are going to re-scape the tank you could just add some aquabasis, it nice and cheap compared to ADA products. I would have a good read in the tutorials section as lots of inert products have been used and reviewed...

    Hi Steven and welcome to ukaps. Test kits, expensive and not needed IMO. I agree with EnderUK check out the easy plants as that can help to influence the design of the scape. Will watch the thread with interest, good luck and keep us informed. Jim

    Your right about good threads, almost to many :) as far a substrate goes i think some people choose because of price, some because of brand (ADA) and some because they have really done their research. I think as long as people use EI then i'm not too sure if it matters (compaction issues are...

    Hi Mic, I'm glad you like my tank :) it has grown in quite a bit since those photos (will have to update this thread soon). In regards to the JBL soil the aqua base offers low amounts of NPK, not a problem if like me you use EI dosing. The Monado top allows the carpet plants to run their roots...

    Hi Martin, thanks for your comment. The tank was run for 5 weeks with no fish, filter media from an old tank and filter start. Two weeks ago the Eleocharis, Anubias and Alternanthera were added and then Valis last Sunday. The fish were added Monday with no fatalities.
