    Removing stubborn watermarks

    I've tried scrubbing with a sponge and RO, scraping with a razor blade while wet, limescale remover and a toothbrush to scrub and nothing works..... Any ideas chaps?

    CO2, light & algae, my understanding.

    So before I start let me just say I am not an experienced user of co2 and am also new to a co2 enriched planted tank, my thoughts are based on my own understanding from hours of reading and a lot of trial and error and will probably confuse the hell out of you with my dodgy explanation lol...

    Keeping the tank spotless

    It seems no matter how long I spend cleaning the tank each day it's never clean, I ruffle the plants daily and net/siphon out any debris etc but it's never ending. I only have 6 cardinal tetra at the moment and barely feeding, it's just dirty. So much so it's really getting annoying now, the...

    Nifty algae tool

    I've been getting a little ocd with cleaning algae recently and discovered that 30cm wooden bbq skeweres are awsome cleaning and prodding tools lol

    White worm/slug thingys

    Having a close look at the tank and have spotted some tiny white worm thingys on the glass, at most the biggest are probably 5mm in length. Can anyone give any possible ID and info on them? There are no fish in the tank only plants and spiderwood. Hard to focus on but you can just about make...

    Collecting leaves

    I'm wanting to get a good leaf litter to help with a biotope look, I'm not overly concerned about the beneficial factors such as catappa leaves have as the soil and wood should take care of most of that but more the asthectics so any will do. I'm thinking of just heading off to the local...

    50%+ daily water changes during cycle

    Hey guys, I see it is pretty common to do huge daily water changes on new tanks while going through the first few weeks, I'm pretty old school where you fill it and wait type thing. So my question is, how does doing such big daily water changes affect the cycle? What is the main reason it's...

    Rotala Wallichii "closing"

    Hi guys, just wondering why Rotala Wallichii opens and closes it's leaves while the light is on? I figure it's because it had taken in all the nutrients etc it can so protects it's self or something but looking for a proper explanation of what's going on please.

    Show off your shallow tanks

    After having to move my current tank I have realised I have the perfect place for a 4ft tank now, I'm having visions of a 4ft shallow tank after looking at a few shallow scapes. I have a 120x45x20 in mind and would like to see what others have done with similar sized tanks.

    Marsilea Hirsuta, DSM or not...

    I've been having a read and can't find anything that says if either makes a difference, I'm using ADA Amazonia and aware of a potential of high ammonia so considering to just flood start but looking for opinions please.

    How does NA superclear really compare to optiwhite?

    Now my tank is really really clear but not optiwhite and I sit here wondering how it could be any clearer, then I see the NA tanks which they say are again superior to optiwhite........... Can anyone confirm if NA is in fact clearer and can you even tell once you get to a certain point of...

    My tank with plants in

    Cant really call it a planted tank as it is a mess and has been neglected since pretty much September when I started marines lol There has been no light on it for the last 3 weeks only the room light and I stopped the diy co2 sometime a while ago that I can not remember lol It was supposed to...

    Difference in quality between TMC and ADA

    Anyone know of a difference in glass quality or silicone work between the TMC Signature range and the ADA? The TMC 600x450x450 is £189.95 and the ADA Cube Garden £324.99 Quite a difference!!

    ADA stockists other than TGM?

    Sent them an email asking if they would negotiate on the price of x8 ADA tanks ( £888 total ) and if they could arrange the drilling of a single hole in each and do you think they would.........nope, the drilling I was unsure of but thought they may offer a slight discount on the tanks. If they...

    Whats it worth?

    Thinking of selling my main tank ( tank only ) and getting a shorter 2ft high instead of 30" with clear silicone and optiwhite front I know at the end of the day it depends on what someone will pay but any idea of a rough figure it would be worth? Glass is mint apart from 3-4 tiny scratches...

    Will this overflow work?

    Rather than having tanks drilled would this work the same as a standard overflow in a drilled tank?

    ADA Do!Aqua vs ADA Cube Garden

    Anyone have or had both? what is the difference in glass quality/clarity like? what is the difference between clarity of a normal tank compared to either? is it really worth the extra £40 ish quid for the cube garden or is all all about the difference between one having Do!Aqua on the front on...

    some people make me sick!

    Sold my big piece of wood to some guy a few weeks ago who has now opened a paypal claim claiming the wood has poisoned his tank! As with most new and even old bits of wood he has said it has a slime on it, this is nothing to worry about but he reckens this has caused his nitrates to go through...

    Any printers on here?

    Thinking of doing my own backgrounds with photoshop but a plan printer would be needed for the 4ft and an a2 printer for the 2ft's to print them.........

    Filterless room temp tanks

    I have decided I would like to try out a un filtered tank with my spare 2x12x15, I am already running the shrimp tank at room temp so not worried about that side of it as have done it before anyway. After reading a couple of the journals ( think bucket of mud was one ) that was almost un...

    Member collections service

    Had an idea that thought I would share, As we are all in different parts of the country and with the recent request I was thinking perhaps some may be willing to collect local ( set distance maybe 2-3 miles ) items for others for say a % of the item value so it can then be shipped to the buyer...
