    New love for my tank - BBA v triangle..

    Hi all, So I admit that biting off more than I could chew with a marine and three freshwater tanks meant they all suffered with lack of time...

    ONF Flat Nano LED Light

    Hi All, I will post a review of this light once it arrives from Taiwan, but I have seen a few people use this light on a nano tank, and love the fact it has a built in dimmer function, which my current light (Dennerle Power LED 5.0) doesn't without an inline one:- It also has a ramp up and...

    Can you run CO2 injection on a buffered substrate?

    Hi all, May seem like a silly question, but I have wondered if you can run CO2 injection with a buffered substrate when the PH is already at 6-6.5? My current 25lt tank did have a small CO2 setup, but the PH dropped to around 5.5 and I then couldn’t use the DC or chart correctly.. or so I...

    New planted tank - Struggling a little!

    Hi All, I have a very small planted 25 litre tank that I started a month to have a go at a planted tank in the view to having some shrimps later on.
