Fantastic I'll pm you now ;)

Thanks for the info ;) there's also some 316 stainless steel ready cut I just seen on ebay, any idea what the number means?

Soon I need to grow out some moss and was looking at the stainless steel wire mesh squares. I'm assuming this stuff is shrimp safe and doesn't rust or effect water parametres, only I'm a bit reluctant to put metal in a tank. Can you share your experiences in this and if there is a better/other...

Sorry to high jack the thread but I have a somewhat related question for lcdgroomer. Quick question for you about using RO Water. Do you use a declorinator like prime when treating your RO for shrimp or do you just treat it only with salty shrimp gh+? I started a related thread in water...

For my start up I will be buying RO Water from my LFS until I get round to purchasing my own RO system. I guess even more reason to test/use a declorinator like prime. I noticed with Prime that it's concentrated and makes it quite difficult to measure for smaller tanks (currently using on a...

So using Seachem Prime would be a good move, I'm wondering though if it is shrimp safe? I read somewhere that it contains copper.

Nearly bought everything to start up a three tank shrimp setup, I'm thinking about using RO Water, probably a silly question to ask, but would appreciate some help. RO Water is water that has been stripped of all the bad stuff that tap water has in it right? This would mean when using RO (and...

As the title says are these two products necessary under the substrate for a Taiwan Bee setup? I have read a lot of threads on various forums and lot's of people seem to use this method. I also read another thread mentioning someone had an issue with foul smelling water after using BeeMax. Can...

Here's a bit of info..

I been browsing a website that is selling some really nice wood called 'Horn Wood'. My question is the pricing, is this really worth the price they are asking? Seems really expensive, maybe because it has the ADA name slapped on it? A 30cm piece is around £30! Is it really hard to come by in...

Where you get that cool wood from? :)

I been searching online for this wood for a while now, seems near impossible to get in uk :(

Ok I received my order for five bags of Dennerle Sulawesi Black today, this stuff is perfect the grains are tiny :) I was suprised however how small the bags were when they arrived. Apparantly 4 bags should be enough for a 60 litre tank although I don't really think this is enough hmm .. Each...

Thanks for your input guys. Still in two minds what size tank to get though :lol:

Ok as you may or may not know, I haved saved up some cash for tank number 1 of 3 which is going to be more than likely a sakura or pfr tank. I was going for an ADA 60P to keep water quality easier to maintain, but I'm drawn to going with a mini garden either a M or an L and maybe in the future...
