    Seiru Stone and hardness increases

    Just read in the journal section it will raise hardness. I never thought they'd have that much of an effect! How much will they typically raise hardness levels? I'm using rainwater so it's fairly soft to begin with. I was looking at keeping RCS and was hoping they'd be ok. It's around 2kg of...

    FAO Middlesex/NWLondon/Herts people

    Does anyone know where I can pick up a co2 diffusor? I've just dug out my co2 system and discovered it's not there. Would like to get it up and running asap as I've already added some plants to my new scape. Don't really want to wait for delivery and I've no idea of any shop that sells co2...

    Horrible tap water issue

    I've mentioned it before but my water has a horrible oily scum straight out of the tap. In my current aquarium it's not really an issue as I'm using the walstad method and water changes are minimal. I can also use rain water as we have two water butts. Now, I'm moving house next saturday (a...

    Grow your own.

    I have daphnia and mosquito larvae every day. I don't do anything. Haven't paid for live food in over a month although I like to feed bloodworm and mysis shrimp occasionally as the fish love them. But for the past month I've just been feeding from what the pond produces 8)

    Shallow tanks

    Is there anywhere that does off the shelf shallow tanks? I'd like an idea off prices but I'm not ready to buy yet so don't want to hassle builders for quotes. Looking at something like 3.5ft x 1.5 deep x 30cm tall.

    How to fight the addiction?

    I spend all day looking through planted tank forums, looking on TGM and Aqua Essentials, thinking about new designs, what plants I want next, what scape I'd like to try next, what my dream scape would be, whether I should rescape, buy this, buy that.....But I don't have any money and it's...

    The science behind ADA additives

    Penac, Tourmalne etc. What's the science behind it? Are there any tests to see how exactly they improve plant growth? They all seem rather expensive to do a job that would ideally be covered by a good substrate, no?

    Does my equipment list look ok?

    I got so frustrated with my first attempt I tore it down to make yet another terrarium. I'm back to having another go at this and didn't want to buy everything without making sure it would all work out. I'm determined to get this right! I'm looking at a 60 x 30 x 30 open top tank. A twin T8...

    Criticism and opinions on my first tank?

    image It's not finished yet, just started with a few simple plants too see how well they do. The exo lighthood is also temporary until my new bulb arrives. It's only a 2ft T5, the tank is 2.5ft. Does this sound ok for a low light, no c02 set up? I wanted to start simple. How does it look so...
