Quick update photo. No change, no co2 (not sure I'll bother) I very much enjoy this tank!

Quick update! Lots of algae growth but also lots of plant growth. Still no co2 hooked up but I really like it so far. I've actually just chucked a lot of plant out there was so much growth! It's still far off what I want it to be, but it's slowly getting there. The afro moss is growing...

It's slowly filling in and I've added 10 Alder cones to stain the water for the 16 green neons which I recieved today. They look happy already, exploring the tank. The 10 Harlequins initially looked annoyed at having to share their tank but everyone seems happy now! I've still been having huge...

Nice video! I like the barbs too.

Ooof! I'm grateful it's just a rainbow😂

Thanks! Hitched up the co2 the other night only to find the adapter was leaking. A replacement is on it's way. Everything seems ok in the tank, some algae but nothing too bad. I've introduced some blue cherry shrimp who seem happy mooching around. I'm looking forward to setting the lights up...

Hi Everyone! After a 10 year break from the hobby I've bought a cheap tank and I'm back in the game. I didn't want to leave the hobby but I was moving around a lot for work and the addition of 2 kids (now 3 years and 9 months) made it seem impossible. I'd love to have gone all in on a rimless...

Nice! Good growing :D The Anubias looks great, really lush and healthy.

Excellent Steve, I'll check it out. I am waiting for the Fissidens to grow out so I can cover all the rocks with it, it's actually growing very fast (faster than my peacock moss in the same tank) so hopefully won;t be too long, although of course I get mini landslides everytime I move a rock...

I love the moss draping over the wood, it gives a nice feel and balance to it :D

Thanks for the kind comments, I just point and shoot although I am getting more used to the manual settings, less black photos...! The Otto was just in the right place at the right time :lol: Still not sure whether to change my CO2 injection method though. At the moment I have an external...

Been working intermittently on this tank now, it’s been going well and I have some nice growth but I also put a Golden nugget plec in the tank (rehomed from a friend) BIG mistake! He had a lovely time digging everything up and had no appreciation for the pain of HC planting... He wasn;t a...

Managed to get some work done on the tank this weekend, got this far! It's very cloudy as I have been kicking up dust planting, I also plan to cover all the rocks in Fissidens but I will have to wait for some more to grow before I can do that. I have used most of it covering some rock at the...

Struggling with wood placement, got the righthand piece ok (I think) but not happy with the left hand side - any ideas?! Thanks :)

No, the fish completly ignore the shrimp although the shrimp seem to annoy the fish, esp. the plecs, by riding around on their backs. The fish eat any baby shrimp if they foolishly swim in the open water but ignore them on the bottom. I think with bogwood in your tank it won't be a problem if...

Hey Nick, in with the shrimp? I have some black emperor tetras, green neons, harlequins, cories a gold nugget plec and a bristlenose

Moved all the fish today and found out that my shrimp have bred soooo much i have them coming out my ears! Unfortuatley they are hybrids as before I knew better I was sold some cherry shrimp but also some very red looking rainbow shrimp (as cherry shrimp) so now I have a mix. Pretty worthless...

Excellent, looking forward to seeing what you do with it! I have the HC you sent me in a net growing emersed so the cories can't dig it up. The cories will be going to a holiday home tank whilst it gets established in the new set up. I'll play some Barry White at them and hopefully I'll get...

Also thought I'd add some pics of the current inhabitats but no full tank shots as it is a MESS :roll: Bamboo shrimp Fissidens And a very intrigued snake who would love to eat the fish if she didn't dislike putting her head underwater! Plecy (such an original name.... :?

Today I collected some more pebbles/rocks from the beach, made in inline CO2 reactor (my old one fits the tetratec ex700 12mm tubing and my new filter takes 16mm tube) have siliconed some slate to the red moor, and successfully siliconed the grass, my hands and the door handle :oops: I won't...

Hey, tank looks great, a really fresh feel to it, looking forward to see what you do with the C. bal :)

Hi Thomas, I have some C parva in another tank, I might try it out! Thanks! Will edit the tank label since I have got it so wrong... :oops:

Ooo, I had it in my head as a Knott creation, I can't remember where I sourced it from now. I have tank pics as my screen saver at work and I took it from that but maybe I should be more aware of my sources... :oops:

Hi Everyone, I once posted this tank on TTF but I have found UKAPS to be friendlier and more useful (fewer “I bought a tank filled it with tap water and chucked hundreds of fish in it immediately and they all died, why?” threads for a start!) Here was my tank about 1.5 years ago...
