I'm loving the scape so far, would love to be able to do something like that in mine. just need to build up the motivation and get started. Have you weighed the wood down with rocks? or has it been soaked previously?

boiling water is probably the safest option, just need to have a pan big enough to leave the rocks in.

I'd love a big bike, but due to me being only 11 and half stone, chances of me flying through london on a R1 or even R6 are very slim. when i done my cbt i done it on geared bike with the intention to then do a full motorbike test and get a R6 but it all fell through after giving my mates R1 a...

yeah i agree with mark, get some otto's and shrimp in asap, they do amazing amount of work in the tanks.

its not showing your pictures mate.

so its working ok then? is it producing tiny little bubbles now? good thing about doing like this is that the powerhead also blows the bubbles around the tank instead of them just floating upwards to the water surface.

a way i found to creat tiny tiny bubbles was to put my diffuser under a small power head, so the bubbles get sucked into the power head and then gets chopped up even smaller. its working a treat for me at the moment.

quick question for you lot... my misses has gave me permission to get another tank to go in the living room, so the space i have is... 33 inches in length 16inches deep heights not a problem but not to tall. so.... where would be the best place to get a quote for a tank that size? or anyone...

little update for you's... went there but wasnt that good at all. like i said, i used to go all the time a few years back when i was into marines but after going back for planted tank materials, fish/plants/deco i was disapointed. only place with decent plants was maidenhead aquatics, every...

anyone on here every go to cruise hill for their plants? when i used to do marine tanks, i used to be up there all the time and i've just remembered from a few years back that there was a few plant shops up there. so... anyone on here go up there and whats it like these days?

its not harmful at all, as long as its washed well before going into tank. giving it a good wash also removes the dusty parts of it which is a good thing. but once the smell has gone, your good to go.

I had the same problem with my newish setup, what type of algea is it your getting? a thin browny colour? and has your blyxa drooped and gone brownish with fuzzy algea on the leaves?

moss you'll be fine, but riccia might struggle abit. either way you'll have slowish growth under a T8.
