I guess if we were working very long term, we could buy a worm composter, set it up, let it go, feed it household waste and use the residue? not that anyone I know is that long term... but getting into DSM is teaching me a lot of patience, so maybe I"m wrong.. :) m

Columbo flora base is pretty good so far - kind of like Oliver Knott's stuff, but a lot cheaper. I got mine from plantedbox.com - amazingly fast and friendly service. m

when I asked about decorative sand, everyone pointed me to Argos white sand - it's about £3 for a fairly big bag (sorry, can't remember details, but Google is your friend). It's *very* fine, but also very pale... not exactly white, but close. worth remembering tho', that almost all fish feel...

will do I've got the plastic lawn edging to use as a barrier... we'll see how it does... thanks, Gareth m

rats beginner == unlikely to be on the ball *at all* but have got a tank that's 90 x 75 x 18 and would like to scape out a path winding through the centre. Seems to work best with pale sand. will start looking at other ideas of how to scape that. Or just go with it and see if it makes a...

Ummm... is that A Good Thing? Or bad? I'm hoping it means that the low level carpetting plants (I have my sights set on HC, but realise it might not work) will get more light and be happier? thank you all for the input. m

Dear all still trying to sort out substrates for the new aquarium. I have the Colombo Flora Base on order from plantedbox (thank you!) and now looking at sand to form the front two edges (aquarium viewed from in front and right side) and for a delination of a 'path' winding from front left to...

Lo all Been reading about Akadama and the 'problems with' thread... and then read about Turface in the US - which isn't available here... but these two are: http://www.seramisuk.co.uk/whatisseramis.html and http://www.specialistaggregates.com/hyd ... -1368.html and I wondered if anyone had...

Can I hook onto the end of this thread and ask how much Osmocote you use - how thickly you spread it? The links above were for 25Kg bags which seems a vast amount even for a pretty big tank (unless it's a ready alternative to lead weights... ;)) thanks m

Someone elsewhere (I think on this forum, but I, too, am setting up a tank and have been reading to exhaustion these last few days so I can't be sure) - suggested plastic lawn edging to keep the various substrates from mixing. At TGM when he gave the demo, Oliver Knott used cardboard which he...
