    A problem with alternanthera reineckii 'purple'

    Oh no, Neon tetra disease

    and I think it has spread to my rams- two golden and two blue. I wonder if it can affect apple snails to, as these seem to be acting strange at the moment. I'd better go get the net......

    gardening compost (john innes) for base layer substrate

    Hi I've seen somewhere that its possible to use John Innes compost to put down under the cosmetic substrate. I put a layer of tetra complete substrate under the gravel in a 55 ltr tank, and with low light and no co2, the plants did great, but I don't want to pay £10 for a small tub. Any...

    The value of the Khuli Loach in the aquarium

    Hello all, I picked up a superfish 40l cube http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/superfi ... -3779.html for £35 at my local garden centre, It was the last one, with no damage, so I couldn't walk away, and now that I am free and single, I have no one to say 'no, you can't have another tank'. I'm...

    UP CO2 system with disposable cartridges- replacement

    Hi I have this kit: http://www.up-aqua.com/00-dm-page/00up_ ... 03-big.jpg and require some more cartridges, but I don't want to pay £15 postage from HK. Does anyone know of where I can get these cheaply elsewhere if they are a standardised fitting/size...
