Hey George, the tank is coming along very well, just thinking back to what it was looking like, 100 fold better :thumbup: Jim

The tank is coming along very nicely, plants and fish looking really healthy. I have nerite snails, they are great at tank cleaning and have great patterns, plus they are cheap to buy from LFS or eBay. Did you end up adding shrimp? Jim

Great design, he should feel really proud of his tank, can't wait for the updates :thumbup: Jim

Nice, looking forward to seeing it planted. Jim

Hey George, good to see your tank coming on :thumbup:. Keep up with the posts as I'm keen to see how it matures. Jim

The tank is coming along nicely Halley, looking forward to some close up soon. Jim

The tank is looking really healthy. Manado is a very light substrate, I have never siphoned it, well tried once and sucked up a load of it. All I do is wave my hand back and forth to stir up the detritus while holding the siphoning tube. Jim

Looking really good Kenan :thumbup: Jim

Excellent tank :clap:

Tank is looking fantastic and great photos :thumbup: Jim

Nice Worshiper :thumbup: Jim

Welcome to the forum Jim

I have it in my tank and love it as it adds a different texture to the tank. I use fine green netting to keep it held down, i need to repeat this once per month. Something i have started doing with it is chopping it up with Monte Carlo, for me it make it look more natural. Jim

Lovely tank and welcome to ukaps Jim

DS all your pics have gone :( I have Beams Work Evo, it said it comes with moonlight settings but all it was was a switch to turn them from 10 LEDs to 3, not what I was expecting.... What do you think of the colour of them? Jim

Welcome to the forum. Jim

Welcome to ukaps, looking forward to some pics

The tank look fantastic, the planting really adds depth to the tank. Jim

Looking good Deansie :thumbup:

Looking forward to the hard scape and plants going in. Jim

Hi Rohan, below is information is from James' Planted Tank theplantedtank.co.uk I highlighted the symptoms of iron deficiency in red. Hope this helps. Jim Plant Deficiencies Nutrient deficiencies tend to affect high light and high CO2 tanks more as the plants use up available nutrients...

Great layout to your hard scape, will be watching your tanks progress :thumbup: Jim

The tank layout looks great Marcel, looking forward to the addition of the plants. Jim

naughty naughty, you need to leave the lights on one setting for a bit longer then a day as it will be tricky to work out the best setting, i do understand though, new toys and the rest ;) Jim

Welcome to the forum Rob Jim

Welcome Kevin Jim

:) fantastic Marcel :thumbup: Jim

The rummy nose tetras will look lovely with the colours of your tank, look forward to seeing the new additions Jim

nail biting stuff zozo, can't wait:)

:wideyed: Lovely set up though :)

Hi @diirrtydubcakeZ I had a look at your tank online, have a look at the link http://www.koi-zone.co.uk/Medium-Rectangular-Aquarium-Fish-Tanks/Fish-R-Fun-54-Litre-White-Rectangular-Aquarium-FRF-585WH-p-2044.html It states on the web page that you can make it rimless. Regards, Jim

Hi Jakes, welcome to ukaps, look forward to a journal from you. Jim

Great photo @bumfuzzle Jim

Great Pico Alexander :thumbup: Jim

Great tank TallDragon and good photos. Jim

Welcome to the forum :thumbup: Jim

Welcome to the forum Jezer, great tanks. Jim

Great DIY skills on the cabinet, love the layout of the hard csape Jim

Looking great Tim, like it as is. Jim

Lovely Andy, what a fantastic room. Jim

Hey Matt, use a tooth brush on it when doing water changes, it will go after a short period of time. I had it on my wood, it just stopped after 6-8 weeks. How often do you do water changes per week? The tank is coming along nicely, some good growth in places. The issues with ar mini is down to...

Hey Ryan, tank is coming along nicely. in the picture above you can see some algae on the leaves of a couple of plants, i have a couple of questions for you... What is your photo period at the moment? and do you use the venturi on your filter to disperse the DIY co2? Jim

Cheers LD, some great changes made recently, thanks for all your hard work keeping this site the best aquatic forum. Jim

Trey its a lovely tank, that carpet is excellent. I think a slight mix up of the plant species would give the left hand side a more natural feel IMO. Jim

Jaap it is looking good, good idea to decrease the light intensity. If the GSA continues the photo period could be pulled back a small bit as well. Jim

@Martin in China has said it all..... Jim

watching Jim

Your tank is looking great Frenchi. Jim

Welcome to the forum Adam. Jim

simply stunning :clap: Jim

If you had some wood to the point you highlighted you would need a small bit the keeps with the flow of the tank, slightly smaller than the rock. Jim

@a.aurel If you have the time to watch the tank carefully you could turn the co2 up slowly watching your fish, if they start to go sluggish or heading to the surface you can dial the co2 back a bit. Jim

@Konrad Michalski i could sit and look at your tank for hours. Could always start another tank! Jim

Best way :) Jim

MP sorry to hear of the issues :( Jim

Tank is filling out nicely @Konrad Michalski :thumbup: Jim

Looking forward to the pics :) Jim

Great fish pics :thumbup: tank looking good Jim

Agree with @ Dantrasy getting better and better Jim

When things like this happen to lovely tanks like your and then they make a recovery it gives the rest of us hope, it's also a learning curve which myself and others can use if we end up getting the dreaded algae. Step by step guide to what you did to get the tank balanced is valuable info...

Hey George, Amazonia is an expensive substrate like all ADA products and people have had a great results using lots of different types of substrate from cat litter, river sand, the list is endless. Here is a link to a post from ukaps that might help...

Looking forward to see some photos Jim

I think you have a lovely layout to the tank, i think some floaters would be a great addition to the tank. Jim

good luck with the Mc, once it takes hold it grows very well. Jim

Welcome sharky to the forum Jim

I used this technique when I planted my tank, it's a great way to locate poor flow areas. i started my tank off with Eleocharis, just could not get it to take, Mc is almost too much of a quick grower, need to trim every few days. You could give Mc another try. Jim

Great little tank hixy :thumbup: Jim

Lovely tank, have never tried the DSM, might have to give it ago when i break my tank down and rescape. jim

Good bye 40cm, hello 30cm :) can't wait to see what you do with the 30. Jim

Welcome to the forum. Jim

Welcome to the forum, lovely tank layout :thumbup: Jim

I agree with @John S if your plants are ok then I wouldn't worry. I inject CO2 and use a ph controller, gave up with the drop checker and removed it. Jim

Hi waddy, great looking tank and as a first attempt I have to take my hat off to you :clap: Jim

you made my morning combining beer and plants :thumbup: jim

welcome to ukaps, lovely tank. jim

Welcome to the site, im with @Martin in China would love to see pictures :thumbup: jim

great tank, with an island design like yours you must have great flow in the tank. jim

I have made these types of generators by just using scissors to make a hole in the lids and sticking the pipes in with out silicone (use sellotape if need be) they work well, surprisingly well. Good luck if you decide to give it ago. Jim

Not sure if you do any baking, if you do and you have some yeast you could make a co2 generator here is a link to a YouTube video hope the link works ok, they are really easy and it will supply some CO2 for now. Jim

SAE will grow to about 14cm and need a tank of 150L at least, so 10 will produce a heavy bio-load on the tank. ottos are a better option as they stay smaller and they do a fantastic job with algae, so well in fact that you will have to supplement them with additional food as @alto said. jim

Would make for a very interesting tank

How's the tank doing MightyP Jim

Your stocking suggestions seem fine to me, the more fish you have the more waste generated but if you change water regularly then not so much a problem. In my 90l I have 20 neons, 1 betta, 12 amino shrimp, 3 ottos, 4 zebra snails and 1 red cherry shrimp (not sure where he came from o_O). As...

Great bit of planning for this tank and IMO bang on first time :thumbup: Jim

Lovely tank, great hard scape. Jim

Hi, i have a 45cm cube with a top section of 15cm it can be a bit of a nightmare to get right to the bottom of the tank when doing maintenance. Jim
