Ok thanks, much appreciated

Is Araldite a suitable substance to bond either hardscape or say mosses to rocks without damaging the plants? It's a 2 part epoxy for those in different countries but common in the UK

What a wonderful thread. Highly commended Alex

Does all water in scotland contain chlorine and chloramine?

They could be replaced. One of the sponsors do a nice set. Pricey but well made from what I've read http://www.aquariumplantfood.co.uk/glassware.html

Handy link. I'll be looking to get the larger diameter inlets as my am1000 is an older model. Need to check but I dont think I've got the option to saw it to larger diameter

As the rolling stones once sang.....You cant always get what you want. I'm at the re-scape planning stage. I would like nerite's and Sulawesi shrimp. Aint gonna happen with the type of PH I'll be running. I do plan on C02 injection, T5's. Hopefully do it right this time. Get the flow and...

Wooah. Waaayyy too heavy for me. Chemistry aint my thang. Think in layman terms Nerites aren't perhaps suited to C02 injected planted tanks :) Comprehensive as I'm sure your reply is Darrell, I know when I'm out of my league. Chemistry for me gets as good as, add hydrogen peroxide to water with...

Thanks Kirk. In light of opinion, I think I'll stick with sakura red shrimp. Similar in requirements as crs and still pretty attractive

Valid points. Thanks

Reason I ask is, I particularly like the Sulawesi shrimp. Heavily injected C02 tanks will have lower PH than they like. Just wondering if they could gradually be made to get used to lower PH than they like and adapt to this

It possibly is Jamie. I just know where I am in Glasgow they actually fill it on the spot. Rather than swap them, they fill my own ones. I was chatting to the guy doing it. Takes no time at all
