    In an effort to flout my doctors insistence that I’m overweight and should do something about it I figured a recipe exchange for those culinary minded might be a nice thing. As such here’s my recipe for Mac and cheese. Cook pasta as instructed in salty salty water and drain, put in an...

    20-24dhfrom the tap, RO unit territory?

    I’ve been chasing my tail with chlorotic growth in my rotala green for what feels like forever. The last time I tested the tap water for kh it was around 15, hard, but with aquasoil buffering it hovered at around 10-11dh in the tank, adding a “large pinch” of mgso4 to every 20l of water changes...

    Is Esha 2000 persistent?

    I’ve unfortunately been struck by what I think is “true” neon tetra disease, flavobacterium. Over the course of 48 or so hours I’m noticing little pimples then white spots then dead green neons. My plan is to run a course of esha 2000 however, I know it is very not snail safe. My question is...

    Mystery whiptail, who am I?

    Whim purchased these little guys because I felt sorry for how bullied by the serpeas they were but have no idea what they are beyond whiptails. On the tank they were identified as “r. Parva/sp.?” Maybe you know what they are?

    Reduced light duration, increased co2 and induced algae?!

    On my nano as part of getting everything ready to send it home for the summer I decided to reduce the photo period from 8hours to 5hours and to change when the lights came on so I'd be able to observe the tank at a more reasonable hour, I also felt it prudent to bump up the co2 a touch.

    Hydor prime series

    Does anyone have any experiance with these filters? I've noticed that you can get a 900lph filter for just £50 and it seems an absolute bargain to me. Does anyone have any experiance with them at all? I'm thinking that I could get a pair to replace the eheim on my 2 foot and a smaller model to...

    Concerned I don't have enough light.

    Hello, I've recently got round to sorting out the tank I refer to as the 11" cube out (its not really a cube its actually l11xd10xt12). I'm running 18watts of pc light over it currently but I can't help but feel worried that this isn't enough light for the plants I've chosen. I've ordered a...
