    New Tank Advice

    Looking at your sleek setups, then looking at mine, I die a little inside haha! So basically I want to get the ADA look, but on the cheap, so where would people recommend getting an opti-white brace-less tank in the UK, with a nice minimalist stand. I've looked at Aquariums LTD and their Dais...

    Regulator Not Sealing

    This is my first time doing Co2 Injection. I've just tried connecting my regulator and its just leaking loads. I've tightened it a lot but it makes no difference. When I got the regulator a plastic (what I assume is a washer) and blue cap just fell out? The regulator is from Co2 art.. anyone...

    Fire extinguisher CO2

    Hi, I'm about to set up my FE and I'm just wondering if it can be put on its side or should it be vertical? I'd just feel safer it being flat :)

    Well had a busy day and totally drained the tank, caught the fish and re-scaped. Here's a quick photo.. isn't the best because of the bacterial bloom but once it settles down I'll upload another photo and ask for plant suggestions :) I changed the piece of wood on the left and placed it on top...

    Well I guess I want to go down the high-tech route, I've already done low and want to do something different. I just think my lighting is a little low atm at 60w in a 200l. I'll have a look at that article, thanks!!
