Hi Tom, do you think that the Green Neons may have been more prone because of no longer being in a Blackwater style set up? All the best from Bill. :D

Thanks for the info Al, and I can't wait for the photos. Ady always shows his knowledge in his posts, I am not suprised that he had some suitable advice. Thanks to Ady too, it's nice to hear a point of view from someone who has seen this tank in the flesh, besides Al I mean.

Hi again Al, I think you need to employ a media team to answer all these posts! I'm a bit curious as to what regular maintenance actually means for a tank this size. Could you give us a rundown of an average maintenance session if you have the time, I am especially interested in the water change...

Not been around for a while but I had heard that you were moving house. I see you're doing the same top class of Scapes that we have come to expect from you. You always come up with crackers and the whole shallow tank thing gives your set ups a very distinctive look. Your set ups always make me...

Greenfinger2, thanks, it's nice to hear some positive things about the tank, because my own feelings have been somewhat mixed of late, as I have been in a bit of a rut. Things seem to be heading in the right direction now so hopefully I can achieve my original idea for this set up...

Upped the lighting again today, things seem to be doing slightly better at the bottom of the tank . . . Suppose the bog wood is leaching tannins faster than I am removing them, hence the need for more light.

Hi, nice set up, and the fish must love it if they're breeding. Well done!

How much would it cost to import Ewoks? Could I pay extra and have Han and Chewy deliver them personally?

Glad to see you're still doing well with this tank. Well done, it's a thing of beauty, keep it up!

After a few months watching this tank "progress", or not doing anything growth wise, as it it known elsewhere I am going to gently raise the light levels and keep my fingers crossed and eyes peeled for algae. The Mini Java Fern is doing well, but the water is very "tea-stained", so the mosses...

Hi, thanks so much for the kind words. The tank is coming on slowly, I'm very keen to keep to the "no ferts routine". It's slow going, but it's better than all hell breaking loose, if you see what I mean.

Love the fishy pics, they're on my Wishlist some day.

Blown away by this Ed, it's superb. Visually not keen on the wood but if the fish like it as you say then I would keep it in.

Glad to see your tank progressing. The lighting looks great now, it really shows off the new plant growth. Oh, and congrats on the "fiancéfication", have you thought about a UKAPS guard of honour when you sort out the wedding plans? They would either shower you both with cappata leaves or cross...

Passed a sad weekend; two of the males had to be moved into a friend's tank, as they were being picked on quite a bit. They were doing fine until the crypts melted, making it harder for them to get out of sight of the dominant male. Didn't want any deaths so now they live with ember tetras (I...
