    Feedback First Order

    Hi Just like to say how grateful I was when I received both the phone call yesterday to offer me an alternative choice due to one of my choices exhausting your current stock on one line, plus more importantly the high quality plants that turned up in my delivery today. Service has been top...

    Submersed Plants

    Well, thought I would share my thoughts on the recent first delivery of plants in case anyone else was like me - hesitant to order on line without being able to see the stock. Ordered my plants from Aquarium Gardens yesterday - received a call from them around 14.50 hrs same day as one of my...

    Submersed Plants

    Thanks greenmac Will see how my new purchases go. I do expect some die back going into the submersed state owing to what I believe will be CO2 starvation short term, until the plants adapt to their new surrounding. kind regards Jay

    Submersed Plants

    Thank you for coming back to me on this Greenmac, it is appreciated! With regards to the Invitro plants - are these not also Emersed plants, as I was under the impression that Aquatic Gardens sell only Emersed stock? Taking the above into consideration, when you received you plants - did you...

    Submersed Plants

    Hello, I have checked the search function, but I am not coming up with much - so I thought I would ask here. I have been looking around for a good supplier of Submersed Aquarium Plants in the Rutland area (between Peterborough and Leicester), but all I can find are 'Emersed' plants on offer -...

    Salty UKAPS?

    For Aips, if you have some Kalkwasser Powder - you can mix a strong solution (about 3 tablespoons to about 100 ml of water), then inject some of this into the Aips mouth (middle of the disk shaped head - possibly resembling a slot rather than a round opening), and it will withdraw and take the...

    Salty UKAPS?

    Hello, If you want a knowledge base to learn from etc, then you will be hard pushed to beat the site listed below. I used it for years, made some good friends and can not fault the majority of things you find on it, very informative, you just got to be able to ignore the banter sometimes...

    What is killing my shrimps?

    If you have noticed a shrimp with issues releasing its exoskeleton, then there is another contentious area which may be worth looking into. This area could be a calcium / iodine imbalance in its diet (basically a deficiency) as these two parameters are supposedly very important for shrimps to...

    Does new lighting have to be expensive?

    I am setting my tank up with the TMC Aquabar 500 LED light unit, and at £50 for the tropical white and £55 for the coloured (in case you do not want washed out colours in fish and red plants), I do not think they are too badly priced. The light output is very good for such a cheap fixture, so it...

    Wanted: pictures of tanks. (KH related)

    With regards to the comment about plants not doing too well in rain water in a low tech set up without CO2, but do well in tap water - could this be due to the amount of pollutants within rain water now, afterall - it is not only CO2 affecting the rain nowadays, we have numerous pollutants that...

    Wanted: pictures of tanks. (KH related)

    Hi, May I ask if the photos being requested will also be correlated with full tank parameters, as I personally feel Kh is only part of the complex story of sustaining a vibrant planted aquarium, thus I am intrigued to know what other information will be considered when comparing the tanks with...

    How do i? User CP

    Hi Paulo, Apologies for this not coming across easily. When I first came to the site and created my account, I thought that I had the option to set the way in which threads opened (tick boxes etc) - either newest post first, or oldest post first. So to prevent myself from missing what the...

    Land Rover 90

    Hi Richard I have a 300 Tdi Defender 90 as project car, and it was a nightmare trying to get one with a good unmolested chassis. Although I love them for their practicality and go anywhere ability (within reason), these vehicles have a very badly designed chassis, as it is made of fairly light...

    How do i? User CP

    Hi I do not seem to have a 'User CP' option available for me currently - I am positive it was there when I signed up, as I changed the viewing of threads to oldest first - not as it has currently defaulted to as newest posts first? Does anyone know where I can change the way threads load...

    Hello

    Hello Kirk, Thank you for the warm welcome, but unfortunately the koi pond has long since gone (house move etc) :( - which is why I am now maintaining my fascination with fish etc via aquariums. Kind regards Jay

    Hello

    Hello Julian, Paulo, Thank you so much for the detailed replies, it is appreciated. What seems apparent is that flow is a major part of a successful planted aquarium - which although a lot lower than my reef aquarium turnover (55 times) - I can understand the logic very well, especially when...

    Hello

    Hello Everyone, As a matter of courtessy, I thought I would firstly introduce myself here, as I will no doubt be asking some questions about what to me is a new side to my aquarium portfolio. Although I am not new to aquariums, (I have some 30 years experience with Coldwater, Koi Ponds...
