Get it done :-)

I have had very good success with assassin snails... It's takes some time but they will eradicate a tank of pest snails. I have heard of them catching and eating shrimp as well though so be aware of that. Also they leave the shells behind so your water hardness may rise

If it makes you feel any better I have a rio 300 on laminate floor with the feet still on the cabinet and it hasn't damaged the floor.... It has however pushed it down about 1cm

The one problem I found with tropica's find a stockist feature was that many near me are pets at home.... Now if you are lucky you could get some nice species a couple of days after they come in but leave it any longer and they are ridden with algae and dying

Chicken and rice is nice for the right price but done eat it twice (sorry, just trying to lighten the mood)

Or a mix of mosses using the blender technique

I think I did a little sex wee

I'm in no rush so I think I'll stick to what I'm doing :-)

I'm having good results with tropica's 1-2-grow weeping moss and I know others on here love it too.... I love fissidens but not sure on what lighting requirements it needs

Nutrasoil topped with small grade gravel. I'm going to be using tropica's specialist fert when the profito runs out

Hi and happy thursday :-) I have had my 90 litre tank running for three weeks now, have been dosing easy carbo every day and profito every week, lighting is a tmc 1500 ND tile which is on 5 hours a day and only one plug at the moment until I get a controller. Plants are P. Erectus, S. Repens...

How long have you had the blyxa?

A t shirt would be cool. And the tweezers/scissors if they are any good

I thank you

Any UKAPS merchandise to be had? I remember a few years back you had a scissors/tweezers set

Unfortunately that's the risk of mail order :-(.... Don't look as bad as I imagined though

Where they tropica ones?

TGM.... That surprises me

And you still have to pay for priority shipping? I'd ask them to throw in another pot of something.....a week isn't exactly priority delivery

Real petrified wood spooks easily :-)

Liquid carbon not co2

Flooded it today :-)..... The HC didn't do great so took that out, I'm impressed the moss attached but not looking very green... Hopefully that'll pick up and the ludwigia has done well as has the eleocharis. Just going to see how it goes with liquid co2, ferts and weekly water changes

Beautiful

Cheers, just been reading through it again. Will be giving this a go soon :-)

Hi, Can anyone point me in the right direction for this technique please?

Hi, Not much to report really... I've added some HC, I can see that the eleocharis is looking "stronger" and the hydrocotyle is starting to root. I have trimmed the ludwigia and it's growing very nice

Thank you :-) I'll keep an eye out for it

Made a few adjustments to it (more will probably follow in the weeks to come lol). Added another rock to the top left and placed some moss on it, moved the eleocharis to the rear and added two stems of ludwigia repens Rubin in the middle. Not sure how that will look but could be interesting to...

That's beautiful

There you go, just the hardscape in and a few hairgrass bits, I'm going to try the dry start method, something ive not ventured into before, if successful I may keep it emersed :-)

Yeah I know, I'll try again

Not sure about the plants as I'm still a noob but the fish will be fine. I'm guessing though as long as, like you say you have the lights and co2 (and enough left of it) on a timer that should be good too :-)

Wit without co2?

The photo was just a test lol, in no way am I showing that off :-)

Ok, sorry about the photo and link to it. I was just trying out the imgur thingy direct from my phone. So I can now post pics without taptalk... Yay!

Where are you based?

Not if you have a robo-snail you don't! Hahaha..... It's a real product btw, a glass cleaning product that works by itself after an initial programming lol

I was thinking using columbo flora base with mini lanscape (classic)..... Any other suggestions for hardscape?

Not yet..... Birthday is coming up soon ;-).... I will have HC, hair grass, P. helferi and maybe glosso.

Thank you for the link..... I think I will go with something along those lines but have it emersed

Yeah they were pretty expensive.....it was a birthday present :-)

I do like the idea of an emmersed set up.... Any pointers?

It's about 5-6" above the tank, can't move it further as it's a fixed unit. I have a dennerle nano co2 kit but the price of refills are extortionate

Hi, I have one of the above tanks and I want to give it a facelift, it's 8liters and lighting is 20w (halogen I think) according to the packet in which the bulbs came in it's 240 lumens.... This means absolutely nothing to me but hope it will to some of you guys. Now the question is can I...

Paddock farm have a decent selection of tropica plants, ferts and substrates along with other brands like TMC and easylife. They also have quite a bit of redmoor and have a few planted display tanks. They stock mother plants too which is a rarity.
