Was not why i made the comment bud .. im not about to try and rush a borderline psychotic :lol:

Hahaha those clips you sold me (have not arrived yet) but im sure they are perfect :angel: no complaints from me ... please put the bat down now :crazy: :lol:

My peppermint pleco has either gone on holiday or is a total ninja .. haha i kinda forgot he was in there til i just read this post :lol:

I think my level would have to be something like 'droopy stem soldier'

yeah they had the offer when i subscribed but i got nothing :( apparently its only the first 500

Good price and good service! Its funny how these rare disasters turn into a plus for the shop when they handle it well. Glad you got it sorted.

I have noticed that lots of the succesful tanks on here use the more premiun substrates, + alot of skill lol that im still trying to emulate. haha my next tank will have some ada substrate which annoyingly will be one less thing i can blame my own failures on :~)

Glad you had a back up filter :) ... sat here now listening to mine and cant help thinking that i dont have a back up :lol:

A filter was offered when i subscribed , but i never got sent one :twisted: Of course there is small print :jawdrop they only have a limited number available... still its a good read

hope this helps drooke

I feel like i have a really good flow in my tank, however i dont think i could possibly have enough to move all the detritus around my tank to the out take. i like to do as clive suggeested to antipofish and do aggressive water changes, plus i always hover up any detritus off my gravel where...

I remember reading this article soon after i had set my tank up ... and i feel the same now as i did then, which is why did i not see this before!!! haha I started to find alot more out about a planted tank just past the point of no return :( My next set up which will be a while from now will...

I think a planted tank would make a great discussion at the unseen university and Rincewind would be well served by his instincts, to run away :) thanks for your help, i enjoyed reading all of those links, i have replanted and added to the left hand side of my tank and im really pleased and for...

Thanks for your reply Darrel That was one of the threads that confused me in the first place :) My tank was not initially set up in the walstad mould ... no substrate, too many fish and not enough plants (im planting alot more now). Considering it says expert next to your name, im gonna get...

Thanks george I have been reading a fair bit which i think is part of my problem :crazy: especially d.walstad's book, i need a scientific dictionary to get me through most of the paragraphs touch wood i have been relatively ok so far even though i think i have to few plants and too many fish...

That was by and large my understanding of things as well ... and my goal but i keep reading from people on here ( some very succesful peeps) who are saying this method is flawed? Plus i only have a gravel base as i did not plan this tank! it kinda just happened, and i think one of the key...

Im what you might call a no nothing :lol: which is why a read alot on here, i have to say this site is pretty awesome and im really pleased to have been introduced to it. Im trying to run a low tech tank (all the specs are in my journal) I am constantly confused on the issue of water...

Will check these out thanks :)

Luckily for me im a dreamer not a doer :lol: now i have got this far i will sit back and watch things grow (hopefully) admittedly while daydreaming about a dozen other tanks i wished i had the skill to achieve not sure if i will make it to 6 months without any level of water change ... i...

Once again thanks for another good tip my diy idea had very wet floor written all over it :oops:

i could not agree more andy ive ordered some red root floaters to cut my light down a bit im still not sure about 0 water changes ... was thinking about trying to diy a tube with some floss or something in to do a wasite clean up but cycle the water straight back into the tank. delicately so...

Thanks alot for the extra links they are some very impressive tanks there ... guess now im better informed it feels like my tank is back to day one :lol: Really looking forward to how this method works out for me or rather how well i work the method !! will update my journal and maybe look...

Thanks that is a really helpful link, looks like its time for me to do some serious reading the poor tank so far has not stood a chance through my 50% water changes, then random 30/40 % while i try to clean every last piece of gravel! time to concentrate on my plant care and understanding...

i have two external filters an ehiem 2028 and 2075 and have a small 900lph powerhead in one corner

thankyou both for your replies i have a little hair algae on two anubious but thats it ... will check up on tom barrs posts and see what i can learn thanks

New to the hobby and trying not to ask too many questions before i have had a read, but sometimes my brain is very much like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole!! my tank is a 300 ltre low tech just lights and filtration im becoming obsessed with cleaning (my wife will never attest to...

if you cant drill something to the bottom, try stringing something heavy underneath until its ready, no flood issues that way just a lond wait :)

sadly i have 3-5mm gravel in my tank .. and its a lot of pounds to end up with an unhappy fish, luckily as im finding the urge to rescape is near constant :lol: so i dont think it will be too long until i have a tank they would be happy in. Or better still maybe i could get a second tank :clap:

so in fact i could tell my wife they are a bargain :D time to do some research and see if i can provide them a good home

would love to see some pics of those :D plus do you think they are worth the notes cause they look cracking .. or is that a stupid question considering you have five :mrgreen:

if it was a good store then i would not notice the 'hooters' did i just say that!! its official i am tank obsessed :lol:

think we are all looking for an exscuse to go the greenmachine :) scottsdales is worth a visit, small at ely but they are always helpful there.

MA are definately better thats for sure

know what you mean about the plecos they have two nice tiger plecs in amwells at the mo ... but 50 notes each

they are not that bad at amwells (they gave me a good deal last time we went in :D )... but there fish can be a bit pricey ps sorry about the nugget bud

Re: How much time do people spend actually watching their ta now i have started introducing some plants and im rethinking my tank views, i find myself losing an hour most days drifting in and out of good and bad ideas in front of the tank lol then i have to have a look on the other side just to...
