    30cm - Little Mountain

    It's always better to see the hardscape you are going to buy 'in the flesh' so to speak. As you say James, these rocks ain't cheap so you really have to see what you are paying for.I suppose there is no gamble if you're getting them for free. I much prefer to get a feel for them and spend a...

    Aquiring a 4ft tank - Need ideas!

    Hi Steve, if you are wanting do this tank on the cheap, then unfortunately you may have to avoid the fossilized wood. I agree that it is possibly one of the most beautiful hardscaping materials to use but it is also very pricey @ £5 / £6 per kilo. Now I'm guessing to do a 4ft tank justice you...

    5*3*2 Iwagumi

    Now that's a big tank. Did just the two of you set this in place along with the stand? I'm guessing you both had 3 weetabix each this morning before tackling this behemoth!

    Ibiza Rocks! (algae doesn't)

    A drastic 'haircut' before I go is a good idea. I want to make it as simple as possible for my tank sitter, so feeding fish every other day seems like a good plan. Rather than expecting them to dose ferts every day I think I'll mix up a few bottles so that the tanks can be dosed maybe twice a...

    Summer is fast approaching and 2 weeks of sun, sand, sea and ......sangria in Ibiza beckons :D ,but the question is what do you do with your tanks when you are on your hols? Now, my friends , family or neighbours don't have the slightest clue when it comes to looking after planted tanks (shush...
