Afternoon. In reading masses of ADA literature I've not come across a mention of heaters/heating methods and wondered if I'm missing anything? Is Amano possibly happy to keep tanks at room temperature?

Hello everyone :wave: Recently I have become quite interested in the idea of minimal planting after reading a few Japanese blogs. This is my current 'scape in its setting (although minus any plants!) This is a low-tech tank and I wanted some species that will attach to rock and wondered if...

Hey chaps I was after some recommendations on scissors from your experiences for use in a nano (preferably) ones that keep my hands dry. What do people think of the newer 'spring' type? Is it worth paying extra for higher quality? Cheers :thumbup:

Hey everyone, Was just looking back at a few of the great tanks from you guys and thought it would be a cool idea to have a 'Best Of' thread or section (in the same way as the 'featured scape') that would be used as an easy resource of inspiration. The scapes contained in said thread could be...

If you ever feel bored its worth checking out the Japanese version of the ADA website every now and then as it contains quite a few goodies that don't appear in their own 'english' translation link. Enter http://www.adana.co.jp/jp/ (their standard english link ends in .co.jp/en/) into a...

Hey everyone :wave: Finally got round to working out the logistics of sending shrimp. Been looking for a courier to send through but it seems both Royal Mail and APC Overnight do not accept the transit of live animals. Does anyone know of the best service to use? Cheers, Neil

Evening all Thought I would ask a few opinions before I went out and bought yet more stuff I 'don't need' :lol:. Basically I'm planning on reviving my old rock scape that I have now with a new more minimal gravel and moss look but wasn't certain what tank this should be housed in. I made...

Hey everyone :thumbup: Another brain picking for you. I was thinking of gutting my nano and replacing the soil with gravel. In doing so I wanted to clean up my lovely dragon stone out of the tank before rescaping. I have read that H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) painted on or as a dip is highly...

My beautifully laid plans are all going to pot :lol: Over the past fews months I have been desperately wrestling with staghorn, BGA and surface scum in my poor battered nano. After valiantly fighting off the algae with copious dosing I am still left with the surface scum, but finally the...

Hello all :wave: Was considering purchasing some Phyton Git for my low-tech nano, but would you consider it something worth getting if you had the money? Has anyone had tangible results? Is it worth getting if you don't have the full ADA system? Or is it just some more 'over-priced ADA...

I wasn't sure what topic to put this under but just come across this strange creation from Anubias; http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=it&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.anubias.com%2Findex.php%3Foption%3Dcom_content%26view%3Darticle%26id%3D31%26Itemid%3D113%26lang%3Den Thought it may...

As you may, or may not know I have recently filled my nano tank; http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=10577&start=150 I have been having issues with a slight dusting of BGA and a small amount of surface scum. No biggy, but I wanted to sort both of these problems so I can back on track...

Inspired from the latest 'What's the demand for high street planted aquarium shops' thread I was thinking about setting up a small tank for breeding Red Bee shrimp next year to post online. I'm not expecting to make many pennies but didn't know whether it would be a worthwhile venture. Is the...

Hi guys, I am currently producing a 12 page supplement for a uni project based on the whole nature aquarium thing. Basically I was after some body text to explain and write a feature on the Nature Aquarium concept and its origins. Any useful links, or ideas? Any help would be greatly...

Been given a brief to produce a 12-page supplement for a newspaper or magazine. I used it as an excuse to base it on the whole nature aquarium thing... Just a couple of dummy spreads, thought you guys might like a look :wink: I'll try post some pics up of the final article. Thanks for...

I need to put a better divider in to keep the soil and sand foreground in my tank seperate. I tried using clear plastic strips but they reflect the light where they stick up a little above the substrate and the shrimp are doing a good job of moving the soil over it. I now want to use Java moss...

Thought I would throw something in the pot for discussion out of curiosity. Bear with me on this, its a bit rambing :lol: Due to my shrimpy interest I started to take a look into marine Fire Shrimp as a possible future project. However the penny dropped as to the environmental impact of...

My previous tank was cycled using flake food which was messy, took a long time despite using some old filter media, and resulted in unwanted algae (that I'm sure could have been avoided). I want to learn from this! I was thinking of using household ammonia from Homebase keeping at 5ppm and...

Hey, I've just purchased one of those nice opti-white nanos from Aqua Essentials with the intention of replacing my current nasty build quality clearseal. Nice opportunity for a new scape :D. One potential plan is to scape the new tank and switch the filter and old tank water from my old...
