stunning tank there is all I can say Well done!

Nice tank Aaron, dont loose enthusiasm! I started my A levels this year and have lost a lot of enthusiasm, but after leaving my tanks for 2 weeks, I tidy them up when I have the time and I become obcessed with them for a day or 2 until work starts again :roll: Are you doing 5 ASs? thats...

Then there is no point in changing something that isnt broken :D WOW, never knew that the rock was so much! Would be nice to see any progress you make on this tank too :D

nice tank :) I personally think more rock is needed though, though it is personal preference, as long as they are happy :D

I just want to post this picture of my tank in order to get some helpful feedback of what to do about it. Im planning a completely new rescape with new plants etc but i'm not too sure if it is the correct thing. I definitely want to change the wood and substrate though. Details: filtration-...

Im in some trouble deciding something now. When my riccia grows more (hopefully in the enxt 2 weeks) do you think I should try to plant it on more rocks and plant is around the anubias? so it looks like I have a complete foregound of riccia Im also debating removing the vallis as I jsut dont...

Superman, galaxy rasboras are great :D and yes, the white stuff came off the wood as soon as all my plants started growing quickly. Today i went to the lfs and bought 7 fish, 3 galaxy rasboras (all the shop had left) and 4 panda cories. Each fish is only about 3/4 of an inch so tiny and...

I got home from holiday a week ago to see half of the shimp carrying eggs empty and when i looked at the anubias closely, all the leaves were covered in tiny tiny grey lines with black dots and were moving. There was about 30 in all so ive got some shimplets :D they were about 1mm or less big

Whoops, id forgotten about this journal so now i will liven it up again :D There has been a lot of plant growth and I now feel that it has grown into itself and looks really good and lush (ill let you be the judge of that though). As said above, ive got sheery shimp in there. Now fish yet...

Not a picture update just yet (pics will be later) I recieved a delivery of 20-30 cherry shrimp oday of various sizes so i now have them everywhere in the tank and the plants have grown nicely. As the cherry shrimp are small, they seem to be catching the flow a lot. Should i take out 1 filter...

Time for an update :D Ive left the tank on its own since planting with the exception of changing the riccia and just double dosed easy carbo, profito and my diy nutrients along with adding co2. Here is the growth so far: A bud on the Anubias? The riccia covered in a hairnet and...

I've now become concerned at the filtration. Ive got 2 internals at 200lph which gives me approx 10x flow. However, on the wood, ive started to get like a cloudy mist on it, i think this is co2? one filter gives surface agitation and the other is the other side of the tank, have i got them...

no real updates as of yet. Im now following this guide http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=101806 to make my riccia look nice and im overdosing nutrients and carbon in the hope i get some lush plant growth :D

As my co2 source is from a nutrafin cos unit, if i overdosed on easy carbo would it have the same effect? as in make the plants grow evenmore? thanks, your comments are appreciated

Right, my plants arrived today so i did a little bt of planing :D There was a slight change, in the way that AE didnt have any stock of the Rotala sp green, so i got Bacopa Australis instead.I'm thinking about maybe getting some galaxy rasboras at the weekend as i have mature filter media and...

Last night, from Aqua Essentials i ordered 2 pots of: Tropica rotola sp. green anubias barteri var. nana riccia fluitans So they should be arriving soon :D

Ok, i started my tank yesterday and have already recieved some advice so im very grateful. Firstly, the details: tank- 13x13x16 (LxWxH) which equates to about 40l 2x internal 200lph filters, as the tank is looking cluttered, i think im going to remove the smallest one to have more focus on the...

hi, looks to be a good start This is the tank that i'm going to be using for my new project. my main concern is the lighting, is the standard ok to use? cheers Will

hey guys, i got another update of my tank so here it is. Ive cut down a lot and i have fewer species of plants but it still looks good (well i think it does :D ) ive just got a snail infestation of 2 different types but they dont seem to be eating any plants but they look silly. If anyone has...

will roting roots cause an ammonia spike? Is it bad to leave roots rotting?

the problem i ahve is that quite a lot of the plants have rooted quite well and if i pull them out then i will pull out most of my gravel and the substrate underneath. Shoudl i jsut cut the stems and leave the roots? Thanks Will

Got the new pics. It may nto look that much of a differenc ebut i think its a lot nicer to look at. I would really like to include some rocks in there but i think that the plants i have (came froma big pack from greenline) restricts me from having these and therefore means i need to ahve...

well ill egt a new pic tomorrow. I trimmed a lot! You can now see the back and a lot more of the tank generally. Now ill wait for it to grow again, probably 2 weeks :D

Ill just show some of my tank shots of my 125l after being set up for about 2 1/2 months. Ive got a problem with different types of algae, some is hair (kind of looks like cheato algae for those of you with marine tanks) and some other brown algae (there is a pic). The current stock is: 1...
