Re: Ollie's 120x45x45: New Pics 6x Congo Tetras 4x Port Hole Catfish 2x Ctenopoma Acutirostre 2x African Brown Knife Fish really cool selection of fish

you had some lovely trop fish, great pics

Re: giant tank for killis - photo update day 15 :shock:

very nice, i often wish id done something like this with my 240l tank. look forward to seeing the fish in there.

fair play mate if i could afford it id have a go too, good luck.

how come you decided to shut it down? was a lovely looking tank

he has a go at my female dwarf gourami when feeding if she enters his terrortory but other than that hes docile. ive only got the one hes a refugee from my old 60l tank along with a couple of tetra, i wanted this tank to be all asian but i didnt want to get rid of them.

to be honest it just disappeared suddnly, i think it was a combination of lots of water changes and liquid carbon but i really dont know, the fish is my fearless bolivian ram, the only fish that will pose for photos :) the rest get spooked by anything lol

Re: ADA 60-P planted tank 'Prairie' (week 8) video amazing quality photos, really impressed by that tetra and the stunning colour of the danios

defeated the bba :wave: (apart from a couple grass leaves)

cute pic 8)

why not add some african species, like a big school of congo tetra etc

:o .

Re: Echinodorus tank (new vid page 9) lmao :lol:

Re: Echinodorus tank (new vid page 9) really liked this tank, was refreshing to see guppies and the simplicity was awesome. let us know if youre selling any of the plants :D whats your plans for the new scape?

im thinking Sagittaria platyphylla in the left corner then cover all the bare substrate with eleocharis parvula, any suggestions on how to improve my tank are very much welcomed :) ill post some better pics during the week to show more clearly what it looks like inside. been thinking of doing...

im gonna try turning the filters off, havent thought about that. its getting alot better recently tho.

tell me about it, the male is well greedy and chases off my other 2 gouramis if they try and eat :lol: thought it was just mine

wow thanks alot, i was thinking of planting over the sand on the left though with some more foreground plants. cant decide, ive got a few ideas ive been going over in my head :) didnt like the black background at first but its grew on me, once i get an external heater all the equipment will...

ive been emptying the tank as much as possible and using a paint brush to brush aqua carbon onto the exposed leaves, that seems to work the best but some plants are too short to do this. i think im feeding the saes too well on frozen and flake food so they are too full to eat anything else :)

Re: All Pond Solutions 240L Tank (BBA Help please)

where did you get that wood from? its amazing

your tank is looking great i like the new layout, i may have a koralia powerhead for sale soon you can have it for a tenner if you want. beware tho where you position it because it will suck tall plants into it

thanks for the link carl, ive made a thread in general discussion just to make sure one of those would be ok for my tank. i will save up for one if they are cus ive always wanted a cheap led fixture and yours looks cool.

hi, how much was the led fixture and where did you find it, if you dont mind me asking. aquascape looks promising by the way, will be great once it grows

gonna watch this with interest looks like its going to be amazing, good buy from ebay too (apart from finding the crack)

sorry guys i was just repeating the advice ive seen on many other sites and what was told to me, thank you for clearing that up. so you can grow a carpet of hc under any lighting with the right co2 and nutrients? wow i never wouldve imagined

hi, im in the same boat mate my budget is very strict too and this hobby is far too expensive. im still saving for equipment for a tank i set up months ago, that hang on the back filter will do but keep the internal filter aswell. when you can afford it have a look on ebay for bargains...

if i were you id get the all pond solutions external filter, it will keep you tank looking much cleaner and give you a nice amount of flow. to grow the plants youve bought i think you deffo need better lighting, you will need a t5 light unit like this http://www.allpondsolutions.co.uk/aquar ...

such a lovely looking tank everything looks so healthy

hey george, have you ever considered doing a ukaps member aquarium makeover? :D :wink:

Re: Echinodorus tank (new vid page 9) thats actually a lot cheaper than i would have guessed, still way too expensive for me wish i knew someone who was good at diy who could build one for cheap i bet they give an amazing natural affect to an aquarium

Re: Echinodorus tank (new vid page 9) the led lights look great, may i be cheeky and ask how much it cost for everything?

cabinet is absolutely awesome :thumbup:

looking good, bet this is gonna be amazing when complete

looks so bright and clean, like it alot. fts next time please?

Re: All Pond Solutions 240L Tank (BBA Help please) yeah its xmas moss attached to driftwood from green machine, havent seen the sae`s go near it yet but ill keep an eye out. ive tried dosing aqua carbon directly onto infected leaves and it dosnt seem to do anything

Re: All Pond Solutions 240L Tank (BBA Help please) swapped the aps bulb for an arcadia one, looks very yellow not sure if i prefered the old look. added zebra loach and pearl gourami. like an idiot i introduced bba into my tank via a crypt from my old 60l tank, anyone have any useful...

cheers alastair. definately keeping it low, only using 1 tube now. the plants dont need high light and i really like the low maintenance of low tech.

awesome sw tank. so natural its like looking into a mini ocean.

Re: Echinodorus tank (Tricolor leaves) i have my cheap aps lumaire which uses some unbranded cheap t5 tubes, will any brand of tube fit this light unit? it dosnt seem to show off the colour of the fish or plants aswell as what my arcadia did on my old 60 litre tank.

Re: Echinodorus tank (Tricolor leaves) thats so cool. what lighting do you use on this tank? i the colour a lot.

looks like my red gourami is about to pass away r.i.p big red :-(

excuse the net taped to the top of the tank.

you should be really proud thats incredible for your first tank, had you not said it was i wouldve thought you were an expert aquascaper. :thumbup: next time you take some pics could you do a fts with the cabinet and stand in it aswell please? would like to see the full setup

woah the difference between this latest photo and the one before is staggering, looks amazing :thumbup:

thanks, no its not dimmable. theres 4 tubes connected to 2 switches, im using only 2 tubes to keep the lighting low-ish.

hello Ady yes mate the crypts are growing well just wish the marsilea would carpet more quickly, and out of all the tropical fish ive ever owned the flame gourami is my favourite.

Re: Fluval Studio 900... Water change night again.. one of my favourite tanks on here, beautiful :thumbup:

:wave:

nah to be honest i rarely see one dog hair floating in the tank, i think dust if causing the surface of the water to turn milky/oily though. i think adding an air stone or co2 will help that.

Re: "In The Arms of Cthulhu" - 180L - 31st Jan - Over Flow awesome wood and overall scape, cant wait to see this progress

Re: Rebirth (550d!) that means absolutely nothing to me but ill pass it on :lol: thanks ian

Re: Rebirth (550d!) they are blurry and just not the quality id expect from such an expensive camera

Re: Rebirth (550d!) ian what settings do you use on your canon? my step dad has the 40d but cant seem to take decent pics of my tank with it.

Re: Rebirth (550d!) this is probably my favourite tank on here it will be a real shame when you tear it down, i wish i could take it off your hands lol its so beautiful and healthy looking

looks awesome. very nice piece of wood and the pebbles and bare patch of sand look great too.

thanks darren. It is very modern looking, although dust and dog hair is a problem :x

added 3 ottos and a thai flying fox, will get more ottos soon. i assumed the flying fox would be exactly like a siamese algae eater except in looks but ive read a few things via google saying they can be quite aggressive when older, ill have to keep an eye on that. if he gets too aggressive he...

this is really cool i cant wait to see how it turns out

ive only ever grown wendtii green and bullosa and from my experience yes they change quite a bit in colour and shape. i think for now im gonna leave them where they are and see how it turns out, im still not feeling well and not really up to a rescape anyway.

yes for a small additional charge. i might aswell have chose free delivery but i dont blame aqua essentials and after googling parcelforce it seems theyre not very popular http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews80026.html

:D tell me about it i had to wait ages till they had them all in stock

cheers mate. no havent bothered complaining it was probably my fault for ordering too late thursday but i wouldve thought if they didnt expect the plants to arrive in time they wouldnt have sent them till monday. hopefully they will survive but im expecting crypt melt anytime now :) i think i...

Ordered the plants from aquaessentials last thursday and chose parcelforce 24 hour delivery hoping id recieve them either friday or saturday morning, unfortunately they didnt arrive till monday and they didnt look great. I was pretty ill at the time so my initial plans went out the window and i...

Re: All Pond Solutions 250L Tank thankyou ive got more spray bar pipes and a koralia powerhead for extra circulation :)

Re: All Pond Solutions 250L Tank thankyou for the info. i will definately consider getting some e.tennelus now :thumbup:

Re: All Pond Solutions 250L Tank redmoor and dragon stone added going to a few lfs`s tommorow so hopefully theyll have most the plants im after. going to try maidenhead aquatics shirley they seem a popular shop.

Re: All Pond Solutions 250L Tank hi troi, did you use high light or co2 injection though? i really do like it but read on here http://www.tropica.com/plants/plantdesc ... px?pid=067 "A true "lawn'' effect is only achieved at high light intensities"

Re: All Pond Solutions 250L Tank i was thinking marsilea hirsuta or eleocharis parvula. i thought e.tennelus was high tech only? from what ive seen on their website they come as a complete package only.

Re: All Pond Solutions 250L Tank for how much i paid im very happy (was only £360 with a discount code) obviously not the quality of better known expensive brands but it looks great imo. the tank itself weighed an absolute ton, we really struggled getting it upstairs :lol:

http://www.allpondsolutions.co.uk/aquar ... lours.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; complete aps setup finally arrived today. gonna keep it low tech/low maintenance hopefully, im still a noob so dont expect anything amazing :) . substrate - flourite dark and normal, unipac...
