CORYS dont mix with sand and substrate, trust me i know and i spent two days trying to net them out , no more corys no more mess, i tweezered out all the aquasoil from sand back to where it should be, they also uproot a hell of a lot of plants. Nice job on the tank, looks great.

Ok so growth is pretty good, the only things i am worried about are:. 1 BGA at the front of the glass where sand is. maybe too much light?? How to stop it in its tarcks? 2 Hc has grown but not really spreading like it should, also some sloppy looking bits in there too?? Any body help, will...

Thank you Andyh, i will definately pop some in tomoz, they look so gentle compared to sae when eating algea, Thanks for the tank comment also i thought everyone had forgotten about this, LOVE YOUR NEW TANK ALSO!!!

Thank you Samc, i will get some tommorrow, Amano shrimp what are these called over here? Same thing??

So nothing major going on here tank is now 2 weeks + old, do you guys recommend adding some algea eting fish and shrimp, if so which ones? I had SAE in previous setup an dont want these again as they were crazy dahing about the tank causing havoc, they would probably wreck the place. I seen a...

Thank you chump, juat had a look at your tank, very nice indeed, cani ask where you got the co2 atomiser?? Anyway not much going on here, hellferi pretty much has dissapeared, crypts are producing new shoots, and the slow growing Anubias are the best growth of all............how come?? A bit...

Re: Time for a new scape Nice work, fish in already.....lucky you!! Will look nice once filled.

Ok guys nearly a week now, little update. Co2 is back on, no leaks just me gassing the tank!! That needle valve is sensitive man!! Pogostomon Helferi is all but dissapering only roots and bits left, will this pick up again? Im not sure what to do with it ?? Also HC is good nice colour but is...

Thanks James, how do i check for leaks, do i need to disconnect everything or just leave it as it is, does it have to be on, sorry for dumb questions again, i think the only way to check for leaks is if anything is in the bottle but bottle seems empty.

Heres a pic for anyone who has experince with the jbl set I just feel that the solenoid should be secure in someway, as i said earlier i have looked for pics on the net for the same setup and other solenoids are attached straight to the regulator, unlike mines which has the tubing from reg...

Do you think so? I asked Saintly and he said dont worry about bps and just read the drop checker and make sure its yellow. I will try a refill tomorrow, but i still think even if it was on full blast would it be possible to empty this in 4 days working only daytime, i dont think so but im new...

Re: New Scape (critique needed) PICS (DISASTER NO CO2 HELP) DISASTER today guys............co2 has went off for some reason, both needles are showing zero, nothing coming out at all. Surely these bottles dont run out in 4 days??? I called TGM and tried all the advice given but no luck at...

Ill keep a look out for it. Thank you, what a difference the plants make, now to pick fish........any ideas!!

Cheers again guys, it seems to have cleared up well. @ george, somebodyelse told me to direct my powerhead away from substrate, i think maybe viktor, so this is what i have done, maybe ill try to get a video up o show the flow?? Hc has been pearling all day, but not the parvula?? I have also...

Day 4 FTS So how many bubbles per second does that look like?

Saintly thank you, i feel a lot better now, you have been very helpful indeed. Now i can sleep, iv decided to leave the co2 on tonight, will this be ok? Too many question right, im sorry man. What do people mean by 1 bubble per sec, ive tried counting them but i cant it seems like maybe 200...

thanky ou hydrophyte, i am having problems with floating up also so i am nt touching it just now, i will however do this once the tank has settled, i know it looks all lined up although they are not at all, i will try to get a pic to show what i mean from the top or side. Anybody come in with...

Thanks george for the links, will have a read over these tonight. A few problems i think, drop checker is yellow, plants looking ok but a few crpts melting and also potogomon helferi looking yellowish with also a few bits of HC not looking too clever. I think i read somewhere that this is...

Thanks guys any idea of a ferting for this tank?

Gravels added also rotala!!! I know i cant see pics either, someone help pls. FTS

I think this is slightly better picture, a bit clearer, trying to mess about with camera i think i need more lighting. Anyway Day 2 Side shot

Saintly thank you again, i think i will need to buy a tripod to get some half decent pics. The only thing i will now put on timer is lights and co2, i have just turned the lights and co2 on at 12pm as it was a late night yesterday, will be buying timers today. I also added 5 ml easy carbo...

Thank you Mattyc for your kind words. Must be a task and a half man planting individually, i still notice also aquasoil floating and dropping on to my sand :cry: Tommorow i will add moss stones and also graded gravels and stems in the left, this is hard work when you dont have the lungs. I have...

FTS left side right side Water still very cloudy, also having poblems with floating HC, is this normal, i used tweezers straight ones, am i supposed to use ones with angle, im finding it hard to re plant with water now in the tank. Sorry about my rubbish photgraphy, any tips would be good.

Thanks for the quick reply saintly and sturowall. I was wondering about fertz as in NPK i have all the dry fertz from aqua essentials, wasnt sure if i need to add these straight away. I am still waiting on a few plants for the left side i think Rotala it is called. Does this Parvula grow high...

Thanks for the reply, im much happier with it now. I see there is not much interest in this at all :( :( :? :? :oops: :oops: . I have it all planted now, plants are as follows HC Postogomon Helferi Parvula Anubias bateri nana Java ferns ( i think ) Crypt Wendeti Crypt becketi...

Ok guys, you thought id fallen off again......nearly but i dug deep into my energy reserves and have connected all my hardware up and also messed with the scape. Got sick of looking at the old one so iv changed it here and there, i think im pretty happy with this now, i still have to add gravel...

Hey thanks for all the replies, im still working on it and messing with it everyday, i will try to remove the middle rocks. Saintly thanks for the extra pics and stuff, really helps to see how the tanks were set up, any more of these set up pics. Am i just putting the wrong size rock in here...

Anybody else, ??

Hey guys i really never meant any offence by that, i really listen to your kind advice and worked on it. Thanks so do you think it is ok like this now, i mean the 2nd option.

Hi thanks for the input again, this is some hard work man, i can see that there isnt a lot of interest in this. Please have a look at the following scape of Luis Navvaro from APC this is very much what i am trying to acheive or something like Saintly's Miracle Mire...

Ok so i have been messing about a bit, let me know if im going in the right direction or not, ive tried to slope out the aquasoil to the left and right as suggested and also broke up rocks and added some smaller ones, i think seperating the rocks has created nice gaps so i can add glosso, hc...

Thanks, i really would like know how to position this rock or should i break it more and try with different pieces? Also any ideas on planting???

Thanks for the reply, i forgot to mention that i will be using graded gravels and smaller rocks or stone with moss for the transition. Thanks for that, any ponters on how to switch about the rocks. Thanks i will do this in the morning and post a pic once i have done, thanks for the kind words.

So some of you will remember me from posting here a while ago when i was going to rescape my rio 180, well ive finally got the bug again..........which i think i lost interest for about a year. The tank is a Rio 180, i have taken the internal filter out and added an external, it keeps the...

Re: Forest Hey nice work, loving the design, im actually doing a very similar rescape on my rio 180 which has been delayed by about 2 months. I would maybe put some more plants in there. Lets see some more pics with the sand in. Cheers.

Damn i been Hijacked!! :lol: :lol: Its cool aint nothing much happening here anyway, just put your handbags away please.

Thanks dude!! Im trying, cant wait till i tear this down now.

Hi, not worked on the tank much, have been on holiday, i will be ordering plants soon and starting my new rescape very soon. This is a current pic just to let you know where im at. I changed the awful background and also took out the slate.

More pics please :lol:

Well thats is the wifes addition, i personally dont like them but she wanted bubbles so i had to settle!! :lol: I think i will get rid of them and maybe just put them on at night once the co2 is added, next week hopefully!

Hi peeps, got my driftwood today, along with my powders and other bits and pieces, were getting there, cant wait to start, just need a day when im on my owm and the kids arent home. Hopefully soon. In the mean time im just reading up on as much as i can and forum hopping. This is a pic of my...

Yup have done thanks for that. Ive ordered the Rhinox 2000. Dont like the look of the JBL one myself. Does anyone know if i should add co2 as soon as i have planted or to wait about a week till its all settled?

My tank right now has the T5 high lite units by Juwel with reflectors, also i am just keeping my internal filter (might add external if needed). I have a Hydor Koralia Powerhead for circulation as advised by ED. JBL set profi 2, Any help with scapes or layout links would be appreciated, i need...

Hi i set up a rio 180 a couple of months ago with plastic plants never knowing i would come across a site like this (thanks London Dragon) and now have been completely bitten by the bug!! Im forever on this forum and would like to show my teardown and build up of my new set up. I already have...

Re: "Déjà, beaucoup de fois avant". (27.6.08. rescape). Hey nice work, wondering if you had any joy setting up the partition for the A/S mixing with sand, it must be a job trying to keep that sand clean? Love the new wood by the way, just maybe a bit too big.

Re: "Fallen Wilderness" Update with pics 4 weeks later would love some riccia, i dont have c02 will it still work?? Message me im interested.
