Hello, Robert, Thanks very much. It needs plenty more in the back yet, but I'm yet to decide on a read plant, but possibly Alternanthera Reineckii 'mini'. When I progress to setting up my 90p, this current scape may get the chop, in trade for a blackwater biotope setup with celestial Pearl...

In situ:

Okay, so flooded today. Eventually got there after nearly pushing cabinet over and having to catch the tank with my shoulder on the corner :facepalm: Anyway, it's not looking at it's best, so I'll give it a couple of days to clear up and post some photos soon! :)

Looks great al!

Ordered :)

I'm in

Nice one!

Just about completed the centre column for my build. The end is in sight! Cheers, N

Hey, Taken from my old journal: I got tired of seeing the stainless steel mesh through my Fissidens fox, so bought some ADA Riccia stones ( after looking for 'black slate' to no avail). Dab glue and stick the moss in one direction, as it looks so much better: Layered effect taking...

Ha! I was joking.. :)

I've just bought one :o

I'd thought AR as soon as I saw it too.

Looking nice mate, but I don't know how well the shrimp will tolerate 50% WC's.

Sounds like melt due to low co2 or flow in that area Andy?

Never thought I'd see the day :o

Esha products are meant to be good for treating specific problems. But yeah healthy tanks with big water changes and an overpowered filter should do fine if allowed to mature before stocking.

What's more scary is the fact I can remember you selling your update 2 years ago! Flies by doesn't it!

Yeah, using the 'brick' method :lol:

Get in touch with basil. He knows his shiz

Mine came out relatively unscathed. I need to update tonight. :)

Amphetamines.

Those eyes are the best Lindy! :lol:

...an unstoppable force of nature, the likes of which has never been seen before.

One coat none drip is insanely thick and will need days to properly go off. Thin oil based paint down to a thick milkshake thickness in another tub. Defo use a roller too, better coverage and nice and fine. Edit: If it's near something really hot (radiator or log burner) than the oil sweats...

I had a 250 litre In an upstairs bedroom. I often anticipated finding it in a wet living room. Being so large I'd advise against it.

If your dosing EI, then no, more nitrogen isn't necessary. Iron may be if you've a lot of plants that are Iron heavy (red) plants?

Massively sorry for the 'x'.. Must have been on a texting spree at the time :facepalm: Nice one dean! All this cabinet talk is making me want to show mine. But I mustn't till I'm done :o

Not a chance in hell for me then! Might start now for next year :lol:

Mainly down to genetics

Excellent. To be honest, it's the best way to go with livestock. Carefully cared for, by someone who knows the scene inside-out.

Prune fingers from having your hands in water too long

That'll be the one. I forgot about them completely. and no, they don't trade anymore.

JBL? Dennerle? I thought Dupla were German, but they're Australian I think?

All the best of luck to you George.

Time to resurrect a great thread:

Yeah Rob, stands looking exceptional x

Yeah well you can top. Paypal up, but funds will take 5-7 days to clear. And your parents don't trust paypal... But let you have a credit card. The worlds gone crazy...! :drowning:

No, that's definitely not likely. And your money would be fully insured. I'm of the view that if rather send money via paypal than any other way, as it's by far the safest.

Okay, sorry. So why not set a paypal up yourself?

Why don't you just link your account to your bank then?

Very nice. Can you supply a few more pics? Where did you purchase prop + equipment from? I can't find a decent one with a light built in..

Tim 'nano tank' Magician is his actual real name.

Lol.

Sounds ideal. I'll send you some seeds to grow too? Ill collect them when they need harvesting. :P

And quite possibly next doors sofa thrown in for good measure...

You'll need additional light at this time of year for sure.

I wouldn't advise publicly naming them. There's no point in name calling / shaming a company, and dragging the forum down. I agree fully with your right to complain, but using proper methods, such as discussing in private with shops / possibly even forum mods will yield better results.

They're pretty bad quality in terms of colour strength. But they need as much love as the beautiful ones ;)

...Your going.. With.. Stus.. Mrs?

:shh:

Ha ouch!

I think it looks rather nice! Different seeing 'normal' homegrown stones being used. Will surely stop hard-as-nails water too! Easier to grow plants. Win win win.

Do not under any circumstances ramp your lights right down and leave co2 as normal. Otherwise you'll come back to 25 dead 'small tetras'. Do as Clive says, (as per usual! :roll: ) and turn lights and co2 off. Make sure that if evaporation occurs, that the spraybar/ outlet isn't positioned in...

Fantastic looking setup Jo. And some nice equipment. Layout is rather nice, and simple. Good to start growing some plants. Good luck with the 'fresher' side of life ;)

Plant health perfection. Amazing.

I thought this was common mate? Then they pushed out submersed leaves? Might be wrong lol.

Really? I hadn't seen they did it in 1-2 grow! Might have a go in my Dry start!

I've never tried it. Is it co2 heavy? Or funny with ferts?

What it do? When Co2 liquids turns to gas, its cold like :lol: Can you claim another from supplier?

Any hygrophila pinnatifida in there Tim? Could look quite nice behind the stumps. Love the texture of it.

Very nice Antoni. Plants look superb!

Don't ask why, because I don't know will be the reply. I heard people recommend this as the best silicon sealant: Gold Label 290ml Clear Pond and Aquarium Silicone Sealant - Gold Label from Discount Leisure Products UK

Looking really nice mate. At least you know your good with pogo helferi!! Which quite a few Can't ;)

Try mini Japonica

Nope, that's the narcotic psychedelic substances that make you think they're soft. But in reality, there as rough as sandpaper.

Do what I do.. Hold your breath.

Can't you get a resin filler to fill scratches in glass like those autoglass use? Glass Repair Resins

First time Ive seen it. Looks excellent. Updates! to echo paulos request :)

Cheers P! I think the main thing is just to water as little and as often as possible. Obviously now with the new moss pieces on the wood, ill have to be a touch more careful. Growth looks promising. Nice to see vivid greens at this time of year. I'll keep this updated with any...

Ill have a go if I can get tank set up in new house quite quickly.. Might be up against it, and I know 'little' tanks dont do very well, so no point me entering a Mini M :lol:

By the way.. Sorry if i sound ridiculous, but what is Fissidens Geppi? and how does it compare to Fissidens Fontanus? smaller Strands I was thinking? is it similar to the 'Fox' Variety, as Thats what I received my Fissidens under.

Wow. What a Beauty! Going to look the muts after a few weeks pal. Nice one! :D

Okay, so The Fissidens /Riccardia Chamedryfolia mix ~ 1:2 Ratio mix with water has been applied, and I feel much more confident in this now. :lol: Can't really supply pictures of the moss, as theyre literally green specs on the Manzanita. Amazing how they can recover from such abuse.. On the...

My maxspect razor 160w apparently outperforms a 400w halide. With a very similar setup to what you describe. I'd say a rough pound for pound measurement is 3x t5. ..but, par is what matters, and is highly variable, setup to setup. From Maxspect Website:

Seed shrimp?

Put them in carbonated water for 30 mins. Co2 should deal with anything. And your plants will be overjoyed.

Moss failed. Stay tuned for another effort :) Just going to blend with water.

Common complaint

Okay, So it looks like a seagulls shat all over my tank... I'm not sure if it's going to take hold of the wood. I guess time will tell. Cheers,

You check the seals hadn't perished?

Fantastic proportions pal. Only thing giving it away is the cherry shrimp! How've you found the Bucephs? Similar in cryptocorynes to care for?

Ha. Yacht varnish is supposed to be for external timber components. Probably a touch excessive. A few coats of even water based paint will give you a level if water resistance. Then just use a couple of topcoats of quick drying 20 min varnish if you please. Doing coats of heavy varnish at...

I was going to order some off eBay! Could maybe apply that at a later date? Will see what I can do! Cheers P, N

Cheers Paulo :) There's about £25-30 retails worth of Fissidens in there! This was some if harvested from my own supply. Hope it works out okay! :nailbiting: Ta, N
