Awesome stuff Hoggie!

Sorry Bradley that was to Yomi lol should said! YOMI you built that tank yet? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

You built your cube yet Mate? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Well glad one of then was in there :-) Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

I'm rubbish at this but I thought I would participate for once and learn something.. My 3 possibilities are: Ammania sp Bacopa Rotala roundifolia I expect I'm not close but I always avoid these so thought I would have a punt. out of these I want to Say ammania sp.. But I could be wrong Sent...

Yeah sorry I was just talking about weeping moss as above :-) i should of said mate Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

um... depends on your growth really mate, for example dont usually even tie it down.. I had some dragon rock I was able to just push int oa crack and it sat there and grew amazingly well. Then when I came to strip down my tank it had to physically tug the moss from the rock as it had well and...

posted that at the EXACT same time lol

you can just attach the moss to the wood with fishing line and forget about the mesh pad mate, eventually the moss will grip on then you can take the fishing line out :)

Clive.. I take I you don't bother with a DC? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

for cuba? I would like to see a photo if you can get one mate??

I wonder if you could super glue it to the wood, I guess its still pretty flimsy plant isn't it. maybe worth ago.

How does it do, growing out if substrate? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Nice one nath I got fluitans the basic stuff :-) don't get me wrong I love it, but on a scale like mine it does grind on me sometimes :-) Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

I definitely won't have that much. U will need a hell of a lot to cover a 1ft square area. I could give u maybe a couple of 10cm grids but that's it I'm afraid. I don't let it grow too long u see Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Growth wise it's one of the less demanding plants, I grow this in a bowl on my window sill in winter and it grows, what I mean is it grows exceptionally fast un a tank, needing trims every week or two weeks. The trimmings then float around the tank and are a pain to get out. That's what I meant...

Riccia is very very high maintenance so think wisely. If u contact me in a couple weeks I can send u some. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Sounds good to me man. I was tempted to buy a fluval edge, the lighting wouldn't of effected my plans, I wanted to do a low-tech island iwagumi so everything was clustered around the centre then I was going to use some white unipac gravel or similar to surround the island giving it real depth...

All crypts should be fine in these temps, I have tanks with no heaters that vary from 19-21 degrees and slightly warmer in the summer and I have a selection of crypts in my jungle nano, you can see in my journal link underneath this comment in my signature. Plants are relatively durable in...

Darrel.. U there? :-) Cheers! Jack :-)

I assumed it was like that in other places, the video was of quite a small area. How would this be leaf damage mate? Why would it leak oxygen like that if it was un healthy? Cheers mate :-) Cheers! Jack :-)

Yes mate, looks like its pearling Cheers! Jack :-)

Just a mates tank nath. Trying to get him on UKAPS but its a struggle lol. Cheers! Jack :-)

Also there are clown loaches.. Would these so the same? Cheers! Jack :-)

Thanks mate, do you think those sucker fish could be damaging the plants? You think they would do that? Cheers! Jack :-)

the last one not some sort of crypt?

I know.. the deficiencies make it difficult to see

I think Riccia is to fragile dean. I work with this stuff daily and just feel it wouldn't b worth it Mate, it would just break away from the glued area pal. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Can I ask what your reasoning is behind the 1 hour siesta? Cheers! Jack :-)

Don't trust Ebay Sellers, you can never tell of there from the far east or not, even when I ask I feel like they still don't know.. I'm not going down that road again! Lol Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Please so let me know where you source this from, I'm keen to give this a crack :-) Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

my riccia and my cuba pearls, I use ONE 24w t5 tube and have no injected co2, just NPK and excel now and again. At no point do I get as much pearling as above, but I do get 'pearl' bubbles popping out the ends of my cuba leaves :)

Totally agree on this.. thats why I refuse to text the mrs! :lol:

Cheers pal, thanks for the reply.. I'll give It a shot Mate. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Would you know if this would be a preferred plant choice for emersed growth? How would it cope etc. ? Cheers for the reply Mate. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Does anyone have any experience growing the above? any advice or requirements I need to take into consideration before I get some?

I have a LFS that sells both but ultimately tell you one is aquatic and one is not, my question is this.. They keep them in the same tanks.. Will this affect true aquatics? Due to decay etc from the non-aquatics? :-) jack Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

;)

yes.. I answered my own question.

is this a non aquatic being advertised as an aquatic? Variegated Dracena | R.Aquatics

cheers ady mate, Its not my tank im just curious as to what it may be :)

anyone agree?

Found this and was curious to know what it was...? 530425_321408634639556_320695529_nJack Dicker any ideas?

Sweet cheers, should know what plants I have really :-P Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

As above :) DSC_0329[/urlJack Dicker

It's fine to use. Just not with shrimp :-) Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Ok guys! Ha! Enough is enough lol I meant trim.. That was a fatal typo error lol. Trim I meant! Use fishing line as this is permanent! Cotton wool will disappear after time. Flame moss is reasonably fast compared to most mosses but do bare in mind that with no co2 all moss types are slow...

Push it all down and around the wood and wrap it with fishing line a few times. When it starts growing trump it repeatedly to cause new growth and bushier shooting. :-) Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Agreed. I have had many mosses and java was my first. This seems to still be thriving, I can't kill it! Unfortunately I don't like it and want to replace it but can't get to it so I'm waiting for it to die off, only it's lasted 5-6 months and is thriving so looks like I'll have to get to like...

Lol! :-) Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Think you need to get the toothbrush out for those rocks :lol: Sent from my Nexus 7

wow that sounds cool.. I know its a long shot but you got a photo? And LancsRick did you still want my trimmings? if so PM me your address matey :)

Ha, it's a great thing :-) Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Pm me your address and I will get on it. I'm due a trim this week so will see how much I have. Your welcome. I was paid forward a favour by Tim on here so now it's my turn :-) Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

If u did actually need some I would happily pay it forward and give you my trimmings? From 4 tanks I usually get quite a bit in a couple of weeks? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

I agree. I have Riccia carpets in all 4 of my tanks. I have had Riccia in one tank for around 4 months. If u keep it trim it will repay you. If u pay it less attention it will get out of hand and sometimes die at the base and release. I trim once a week back down to about half an inch. If u keep...

no co2 required for riccia buddy. Darren doesnt use fertz or co2, runs his tank lowtech. :) Although he has just bought some NPK and Excel. I know that this ricca has been grown before he got them though. Riccia is great for low tech, I even have it pearling in my triptych tanks with no co2. Its...

:clap:

cheers for the info darrel :)

I was thinking the same.. does this not have rhizomes?

wow! where did you get that? that is cool! never seen that before. It would look brilliant in a cluster of anubias nana petite ;) would definitely make a pretty cool impact. please say you got lots? ;) Jack

sweet, great to hear I wasn't doing anything wrong with my anubias ;)

wow a razor blade? I heard from so many sources to 'snap' the rhizomes to allow for easy new growth? a few people have told me this on here too. SORRY to tekopikin for the false information :( I have been doing this to all my anubias and they are fine and budding..

yes mate pretty convinced its anubias bonsai bateri (spelt correctly). If anyone can vouch for that it would be great too lol. I PM'd you back mate, I didnt realise you had PM'd me till after I wrote that first comment! :lol: jack

I think it's anubias bonsai baterri? Or how you spell it? When they flower they are beautiful :-) I have just ordered a hang on filter so I can try this out too. ;-) Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Hello Mate! Did you get my message about the filter tubing issue? Hope it was ok. I'm actually selling my lily pipes I had on them if your looking... Anyway, your anubias. Are you asking if you can divide the rhizomes up to create new single plants? If so then yes, just break the rhizomes at...

You got any photos lee? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

I believe it's the anubias bateri family etc. I have a plant dealer that comes over to see me and was telling me about this. I'm gutted because I loves the lowtech beauties! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Um this is interesting. Now you mention it Whitey my plants do it when touching the surface too! Maybe I shouldn't let them :-) Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

I have them all over my hygrophila polysperma rosenervig! Does my head in ! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Ha hope.. I gave up. And then then it done from the tank within! There is hope sir! Just be patient :-) Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I'm only speaking from my experience here but I had some brown weeping moss attached to a bit of wood tat I never got round to taking out.. 6-7 weeks later or started growing and now is in full spread and very healthy! Miracle really lol :-) Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Wow, I never knew that. All this time I assumed anything lower wouldn't work.. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Silly question here but I thought plant growth lighting needed to be 6400K or higher? :-) Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

your coconut shel looks horrified... :lol:

You can get all the aqua journals off u torrent links. I have most of them on PDF I read in bed on my tablet ;)

cheers hoggie!! just ordered ;)

What is a good moss at attaching itself? I'm thinking about the same thing :-) Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Ha! OK will they eat your riccia.. no they won't buddy. Lol sorry. Bit slow today! The may nip at it if there is food or debris attached but this has never been an issue. My fish graze on my riccia as do my shrimp :-) Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Sorry to not quite understand but what is your question?!.. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Hahaha lol the sucky pipe is the outlet the flowing pipe is the inlet lol so confusing when I can't draw it lol. :-) Sent from my Nexus 7

Nice one on the power heads :-) Sent from my Nexus 7

Remember your inlet pipe to the tank is the outlet pipe of the filter. It sounds like you have it next to where the water is being sucked up from.. being the outlet pipe. It needs to be just off from the inlet pipe to the tank , which is the outlet pipe to the filter. Does that make sense? :-)...

Yup.. definitely flow.. have you situated your diffuser close to, and in the path of the flow pipe? Sent from my Nexus 7

yeah i mean I used a hammer and a screwdriver to break up my dragon stone because its incredibly soft! unfortunately I cant use cuba as im low tech but love the idea.. its definitely a new look. I wonder if there is anything ot there I can do the same to but in low-tech except mosses and ricca...

ha! its wood.... my bad ;)

did you find it hard to attach the hc to the hardscape? what did you use? dragon stone? did you tie it or just push it into the holes?

you got any photos of the hc on the hardscape and photos of the staurogyne? im thinking of going doen this route..

or you could get 2 power heads off ebay from china.. may take 2 weeks but you will save loads! ADY... thanks for your reply mate. the blue light is surprisingly beautiful.. does the fact that their separate cubes that add up to 90l worth of light compare to having one tank of 90l with the same...

ADY.. just a really quick post stealer.. I aim to run 3x 30cm cubes off of one 100cm boyu light. lighting is 2x 21w t5's with 1x 21w marine blue light.. I thought this was ideal for my set ups as Im running no co2 just low tech. another persons opinion would help.. then ill leave this post lol :)

Thought so. Thanks for reassuring me :-)

Right.. may be a very stupid question but what the hell.. After I cut my hairgrass Down can I the bunch the cuttings and re-plant these? Will they begin to root or does eleocharis not actually do this like others? Thanks Jack

that was my first thought... but what hygro?

people need some help :) Plant ID:

What sort of temps we talking? I have anubias nana bonsai and anubias nana petite in my non heated nano at around 2-22 degrees so if your temps are around that anubias should be fine. But darrel is right! its more about what the goldfish will not eat! as goldfish dont have stomachs so need to...

Ha! I knew I could.get help here! Lol!

Does anyone know if there is a dwarf cuba? if so whats it called?

thanks for your advice! i only put it today. have now put it into my walstad bowl so flow and temps should be ideal.. :)
