    Lighting time and intensity in lowish tech

    Weirdly I was pondering the same thing just last night. Did some googling and this is basically what I found... Intensity and duration are not interchangeable. Some plants won’t start photosynthesis until the light reaches a certain intensity - high light plants. Low light plants will...

    5ft Bookshelf Aquarium - River Scape

    I have no idea how to get rid of the BBA but just wanted to say, this is a cool tank. I love it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Low tech with carnivorous plants

    Nah it’s cool, it was late / I was tired, that sounded much grumpier than I meant it [emoji23] Sorry about that! [emoji51] My wife’s got a big fish bowl knocking about, this has totally inspired me to do something with it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Low tech with carnivorous plants

    I agree, truly inspirational stuff. I’ve started following him too. His feed is like a little spot of calm on my phone! Thanks for sharing [emoji106][emoji2533] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How have you secured your moss? Last week I sandwiched some moss between two bits of stainless steel wire mesh, hoping to form a moss carpet, but the steel is definitely unsightly at the moment... Was wondering if you used a more attractive technique? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Low tech BG plant

    A variety of Aponogeton would be my choice. They would be more costly than Valls, but less maintenance. I’m unsure how they would do with no ferts though. Maybe someone with more knowledge will chip in... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    5ft Bookshelf Aquarium - River Scape

    This looks great! I desperately want a river tank, but need to wait until we’ve had the extension! I’ve got a 4ft tank on the Kallax Ikea unit and wish I’d added support to the back. It’s perfectly strong enough top to bottom, but it does shift a bit left to right [emoji15] Not sure what two...

    0.25 Ammonia, 0 Nitrites, 5 Nitrates

    That's fine, once everything gets settled, the Egeria will probably come out, unless it grows on me in the meantime. Will dose Prime daily and keep up with small daily wc. I guess when the Nitrates start creeping up on a regular basis it should be cycled so I can stop with the Prime (other...

    0.25 Ammonia, 0 Nitrites, 5 Nitrates

    Yeah, foolish mistake. The bottle said to add fish immediately, and I figured with plants, external filter and small fish they'd be ok. Clearly not. Lesson learned. Thanks for the advice. I can do everything but remove the fish as I have nowhere to put them. So, I've ordered more plants...

    0.25 Ammonia, 0 Nitrites, 5 Nitrates

    Hi All, So I'm really confused. I use to have multiple tanks 10 years ago, so think I may have been a bit too confident when setting up this tank. The tank's been up running since early June and unfortunately, I've suffered a few fish loses - I think down to the tank not being cycled...
