    Best way to help my moss spread

    I have some Taxiphyllum Flame. I started the tank around mid September, tying the moss to the top of the wood and it's done rather well. It's become quite the safe haven for my shrimp, I've found multiple molts inside. I was hoping it would spread downwards though. Will this happen in time...

    Time for a trim?

    My Rotala 'Vietnam H'ra' is getting a lil tall now. I've heard that when you cut the plant, it spouts 2 stems at the cut point so gives a bushier look. Roughly how low would you suggest cutting these plants? Also, can you plant the cut parts? Tanks under 2 months old.

    Need a new PH meter.

    My current PH meter has died, after just over a months use (came free with my TDS meter). Can anyone recommend a replacement, preferable something that comes with the power for calibrating. So many different 1's on Amazon with varying reviews.

    Anyone use Spotless Water?

    Been looking around for another place to buy RO water from, the only LFS who sells in my area charges £4.50 for 50l. I noticed I have a Spotless Water station very close to me, and from reading the website, it sounds too good to be true. https://www.spotlesswater.co.uk Much cheaper then what...

    Need help with new tank

    I've recently purchases a Aqua One AquaNano 40 tank and I would like to set it up as a planted tank, but I could use some help. I got some bogwood, bit bigger then I anticapated, but you can see the tank layout. 1st thing I need help with, is selecting some plants. I would really like...

    Having a go at a nano tank

    I had a planted tank a few years ago, but despite my best efforts, everything went wrong. I added more flow, better lighting, added CO2 and starting making my own ferts, but no matter what I tried, I couldn't get my algae problem under control. It ended in a rather depressing manner and I sold...

    Thinking of trying again

    It's been awhile since I've kept a tank, about 7 years at the moment, and I've been feeling the urge to start again. Last time I tried a planted tank, it didn't end well. https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/having-another-bash.11779/ I had T5 lighting, CO2 and mixed my own fertilizers, but no...

    CO2 and fish

    I've had my CO2 off for an extended peroid today while i clean the diffuser (ran out of bleech, long story short, my CO2's been off all day). For the 1st time in weeks/months I actually saw my cardinal tetra's swimming around the tank, normally they hide at the back/bottom of the tank behind...

    Having another bash

    I've had my tank up and running for over a year now and it's been pretty much up and down, truth be told, more downs then ups, algea has been a constant problem and recently a family member knocked up my CO2 unit when they thought they turned it down. Of course by the time I noticed I lost all...

    Cleaning glassware

    Just a quick question, my diffuser and a few other pieces of glass equiptment are starting to get completely covered in algea. What's the best way to clean them? Scrubbing hasn't worked on the diffuser.

    In need of assistance

    Hello all, I signed up to this forum awhile ago at the suggestion of someone from another fish forum, but due to a mix of busyness and pure laziness, I've not managed to post :? I have quite a few different questions about my tank, which I'm sure belong in seperate subsections of the forum...
