just checked mine. there is 6ppm of K. but it says there is no standard.

they wont send to this country because of the reason pointed out above. we have a supplier, so they cant take our suppliers buisness. to be honest its not any more cost to get the stuff from TGM. they are more expensive because of the shipping tax ect that they have to add to the price. they...

Re: How to clean mineral deposit of a running tank and lilie i use vinegar. its never caused any problems that i am aware of. i just give them a good rinse after :thumbup:

thats a smart light! i have had problems with imageshack the other day. mine just stopped loading when the loading bar gets to the end.

i get mine from ebay in powder form. its pretty cheap and last ages :D

its allways a great feeling when adding the first fish to an aquascape :D i would say that that stocking is fine. i would add a few more cardinals though. maybe 10. they like to be in groups

i chucked a load of HM and a bit of rotala sp. green in a little tank on my windowsill and its grown emersed very quickly even with no top on the tank. its got and inch or so of plain gravel and the water level is just to the top of the gravel. i mist it every so often but i am sure it would be...

will they be out today? :D

IMO you cant beat shrimps. if you get some cherrys in there they will breed like mad and they constantly clean :D ottos are good glass cleaners which are reccomended too. i also have a SAE which is entertaining, they should be kept in groups though.

they are more expensive over here because of the shipping and tax. its lovely looking stuff though :D

im still looking foward to them. i shouldnt say they will be long now. i hope :D

i am really looking foward to the results too :D

i was looking for some live bacteria to help my filter mature quicker when i came across this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Live-Bacteria-for-Sludge-removal-Aquarium-Pond-250-ml_W0QQitemZ120503394494QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Pet_Supplies_Fish?hash=item1c0e8fe0be seems very cheap in comparison to tetra...

if you wanted you could post them back to your home address in an envelope :D

looks great around there :D the moss on the last pic lookslike zipper moss. i love the look of that moss. we dont get it here. i should'nt imagine it would ship well ether. a whole carpet of the stuff would be amazing!

:lol: i gave it a good wash after. thats an advantage of lemon juice i guess

i just tried full strenght vinegar and it worked a treat :thumbup: thanks guys i dont know why i didnt think of that before :crazy:

my area is a very hard water area and i cant seem to get rid of the water marks left around the water line. and also on my lilies. do you know any good ways of getting rid of them? :D

the questionaire sounds good. i have not got a subscription though. ill see if i can get a copy

i thought the same. surely your themostat in it was broken as i would have shut off

forgot about that dave cheers here is another good bit of info http://www.adana.co.jp/nabook09/index_en.html click on the bits at the bottom of the page

well done viktor :clap: i can tell you are one of the very enthusiastic people in this hobby which i like to see :D

i am allways looking for websites with good information on, so i can learn more and cant seem to find many. i woundered if you guys know of any good website with great tips on? heres one i found http://www.aquajournal.net/na/layout/006/index.html it has some priceless information on there :D...

thats interesting. not what i would expect :D thanks for sharing viktor :thumbup:

gotta love the little fish :P

ahh this one had the bit on the part in the middle goes in the hole in the FE to create a seal. but the sodastream dont have the hole so cant go on as far. thats the best i can explain it :lol:

i just bought one of them tiny regs for it so will let you know how it does. i am sure it will fit though i will see if i can find a picture so i can explain better

they work on the advanced hyodr but not the cheaper one as they are smaller. i cant say how long they lasted tbh because they reg started leaking through the ajuster and sometimes lasted a week others a month but thats with a leak. that was on a 30l nano at about 1bps but it would last a lot...

i use them bottles :thumbup: they are sodastream ones they are 22mm which is the same size as an FE but they would not fit onto my aquamedic reg because the thread starts further down the bottleso they could not connect at all. i did use them on my hydor reg and they are good for the price

for a tank that size i would use the same scale as i would in a tank half that size. i dont think bigger tanks should have the same size stone as smaller ones. i dont know if that helps :lol: but its just my opinion. i see that you are planning on using big stones i would aim for the main stone...

nice looking plec too :( i would look mainly to the loaches though

here is a calculator http://www.angelfish.net/tankvolcalc.php

i am not exacly sure what foxtail is tbh but i am guessing its a plant. i would try using the lead weights you can get from the LFS.

hope it works out. its a lovely tank :thumbup: i use a 50/50 water bleach solution and leave it overnight

:lol: good idea. there will be a ukaps ban. i think the diffusers they use are also for show especially. they are just sat there like an ornament

i have never had the nano but people say they are silent :D and i would place it on the laft hand side towards the front. face it down toward the foreground. i would also place your diffuser underneath it when you get it to spread the co2 around the tank

i think that would be a good number as they dont produce much waste and as long as you fed them planty they will be ok. if you want you could only add 3 or 4 but they are happier in bigger groups. are you sure you drop check is correct?if your not sure take take a look at the article section at...

:wave: first off welcome to the forum. i hope we can sort you algae problem out as your tanks looks quite nice :thumbup: the algae looks like Rhizoclonium which by james guide (http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/algae.htm) is down to lack of co2 which is the cause of most aglae. What is your...

dig a hole in the garden :lol: or use it to 'decorate' your plant pots hehe

might be me garuf i got my 60cm from natural aquario for £160 posted and that was a custom one. i looked the other day and the prices have gone up a bit though. my second one should be here next week. when im on holiday.... :twisted:

nice on garuf i knew you would come back :wink: look foward to seeing what your new scape will be like

if i was you id check my cistern might be something in it. have you tried some in another tank?

i have seen the tank no end of times,i thought it was cool to see it being built too

same here. i woundered if there was any pics a when i first saw it :lol: i dont know who wouldnt be, it would be great to actually get in the tank

found this on another forum which is mainly asian users but this is amazing :shock: scroll down to see the step by step 8) http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum/showthread.php?t=54631 when i win the lottery............... :lol:

just found this which was interesting this might not be the best place to put it though http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45174

i think iwagumi's look good with white jungle scapes look good with black and nature could be ether :D

when my reg i bought (second hand) was leaking i emailed then telling them the problem and that is was from ebay and they sent me a new one :D great service

i just got a cool idea for rescaping my nano yesterday :P

personally id have bigger groups of less different varietys of plants so for example half your list but double the amounts of each plant as it can make a tank look un-organised

wow your cabinet looks a little complecated :lol: yet organised, got any pics of the tank?

hmmm never heard of these bugs could you not just rinse them off

i think they would be copepods they are no harm to anything and fish will probely eat them

which kind of setup did you want to go for? low tech(ferns, anubias mosses) or high tech(in which you can grow nearly any plant) i prefer high tech as it gives you more options on your scapes but does cost more as you will need high lighting co2 and with all planted tanks fertilizers

:lol: im a u-k apper too

same here :lol: i see where you are coming from tho you never know what things should be called

it doesnt fit the sodastream bottles i have :( i thought it was different to the ones that clark and paulo have but ill see what i can do

you have the same reg or bottle i used to get the sodastream bottles because they are loads bigger and cost about £3

the one pictured fits the little bottles shown but the old one would fit a FE :lol: it is pretty flash

just thought id say how good the service from hydor was when i had a problem with my reg my reg started leaking and using up alot of co2 so i emailed them about the problem and they sent me a new reg co2 bottle and bubble counter which i was not expecting. they have been good resonding and...

its actually quite good looking at poeples cabinets. id post mine but i dont have my tank running yet :lol: ill post in a few weeks when it SHOULD be ready

John starkey Binksy1973 (Gordon.) Glenn. as befor-1 50-70cm gnarled peice Simon d Stu Worral Supercoley1 (Andy Cole) Dave Spencer sam clowsley("15" max 10ish

had the same and found them to be copepods which im sure is the same as yours. i wouldnt be too bothered they make good food for fish

just found this too, most people have seen these but here it is (ADA) http://adana.com.sg/ada_gallery_2007_layout_large.html#location1 and another one i found a while back also ada http://www.adana-usa.com/index.php?main_page=afa_portfolio

for sure :wink:

im getting a custom now which will measure 24x15x18 for £50 so i thought thts cheap

i am going to get a cheap set when i set my new iwagumi up. For tanks like iwagumis i think they are a good idea as it impossible to hide them

glad you like it i was just looking around and thought myself better bookmark that because ill want to look again and will never find it. very annoying when that happens

just found this some may have seen this before but i thought it had some nice tanks i havent seen before http://www.adana-usa.com/index.php?main_page=afa_portfolio

i hope you get it sorted out soon them discus are awsome

have you found that they hang around the outlet alot?

sound like co2 to me but im not sure about it i think if fish like otos wouldnt go to the surface if they had lack of oxygen i found that i had lack of oxygen yaers ago with corys and the didnt go to the suurface

sounds good. i was thinking if a puffer would eat shrimp as i thought they have teeth. id like to see the puffer i was very interested in getting some a while ago.

im thinking of taking my heater out what would be an ideal temp for tetras and a few shrimp? or should i say what temp is acceptable?

i got it from ebay last week just looking around didnt really need it tbh but thought i might use if for something and now i am. its real good, has a good reflector and the bulbs were hi-glo ones worth about £15 each. i think iwagumis look better lower but i agree that this style look good...

i was thinking the same as i am wanting to do a tank like these they do look better with a bit more height IMO

nice, thanks again i wanted a 60cm as i just bought a brand new luminaire for a 2ft its an osaka one i got if for £20 delivered with 2 new t5 bulbs i couldnt resist, wata bargain

do you find ths deep enough for scaping? iv got a 90x30x40 and with it being 30cm deep i found it small

hi all i am looking for a cheap 60cm tank (cheap because im skint) and wanted a braceless one. like the clearseal ones. Although these would be idea i am worried the won't be deep enough (back to front) as the only size they do are 24x12x12,does anyone know where i can buy one deeper?

yer thats a bad feeling when that kinda thing happens

id say 16-22 as when u tighen the clip it should squeeze the pipe in slightly so a 22-30 might be too big buy im not certian about this

iv seen some fire bellied newts for sale at a lfs they look quite cool and you could do a nice scape for them too as in half plants emmersed and half immersed could make it look real good

i think luminaires look better than hoods imo and have a good output, iv been looking recently and theres loads of 2ft ones second hand but cheap look on oodle.co.uk and aquarist-classifieds.co.uk they have some on there if u want one thanks

apparently you could use easycarbo which is quite cheap iv never tried just easycarbo so im not sure tho. you can just buy another one the same as you get lyk this guy http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=3899&start=10#p43344 a small one would be something like an eheim 2213 they are...

the arc tank normally come with a 9 or 11w light but most people add another one as most carpet plants need high light else they will start to grow upwards rather than along the bottom and form a nice carpet. you should deffinatly use substrate id would recomend a fertile one like ada aquasoil...

i personally like the first one too i just wanted to know which one other people like and if they have any ideas :) thanks

yes i see what u mean i was thinking about that myself the second one is 20in deep which is more than mine but i should be able to work around it somehow, i think most people like the first one so i think ill go for that kinda style i will be adding my own bits too it tho and it wont look the...

im near spilsby if uv heard of it, village called little steeping iv been ur way a few times for football matches tho thanks

iv got some plants in mind which i can grow well in it at the minuet, suprisingly even with the low light my tank seems to be able to grow almost every plant iv tried so far althought iv got some aromatica which is growing but not rooting does any1 know why or does it just need a root tab? thanks

yerr i was thinking of basing it around both as i like the rotala sp. green in the second one but i like the rock formation of the first, i think if i used rotala sp.green though id use a darker colour rock as i dont think it would look right. thanks

hi im planning on a rescape on my 80l and for the past few days iv been looking for inspiration on the internet and have found 2 scapes tht i really like and dont know which one i would like to base mine around heres one i really like rocks in this one and i belive it was an amano scape this...
