Hi, Just wondered if anybody has tried the Eden 501 gravel cleaner? Sounds like a good idea to filter the water when cleaning the gravel as i tend to find i have not finished cleaning it when doing water changes. Thoughts appreciated.

Hi, Any tips on pruning moss to stop it going all over the tank. I appreciate i could remove the wood it is attached to but don't really want to disturb everything. Thanks.

Hi, I am running an external Fluval 306 in my 160L Fluval Studio tank. I remember seeing one of George Farmers videos where he was using a floating inlet (so it also acted as a surface skimmer) Has anybody come across these and if so where can i get one? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I got some Emerald Dwarf Rasbora for my 45L planted tank 2 weeks ago. They are fantastic little fish but i hardly see them as they are so shy. There are also some Cherry Shrimp in the tank, but i was wondering if it might be worth getting some "dither fish" to try and encourage them to come...

Hi, I have posted a couple of threads which are no longer relevant. Is it possible for me to delete these? Thanks

Hi, I have a plant order arriving tomorrow, but wont be able to plant in the tank until the weekend. The potted plants are not a problem as i can put them straight in the tank which is cycling. However part of the order includes some Tropica 1-2-grow plants which are in the growing media...

Hi, Not sure i have posted this in the correct forum? Just wondered if anybody had used Birstall.co.uk (garden centre) for mail order plants and if so were the plants ok and the service good? Thanks.

Hi, Appreciate a bit of feed back on the below please (sorry about the furry wood, planning to clean it again tomorrow). Hoping to create something along the lines of the below, but without the sand. Not sure if i need the rocks that i have in the tank at the moment as once planted it will...

Hi, Trying to mix 2 different root types, but struggling a bit to get a look i am happy with. Must have moved them around hundreds of times by now ha ha. I do have another bit of the root on the left hand side in my 45L tank, which i am planning to liberate tomorrow. So i could add more...

Hi, I am looking to buy the Chihiros A series (90cm) for my 200L tank, but as the tank is 94cm long i need the sliding brackets so it will fit. They are displayed in the photos on the web site, but are not listed in the "package includes" section. Do i need to buy them separately and if so...

Hi, I have a Fluval Studio tank with 2 x 850mm T5 tubes. I want to upgrade to LED tubes. Looking on the web one Arcadia LED tube is £40. I would imagine i could get a half decent "proper" LED replacement light for £80 or not much more. Are there any other cheaper suppliers of LED T5 tubes that...

Hi, Once a planted tank is established is there any need to add a biological aquarium supplement such as Fluval Cycle or Easy Life Easystart after maintenance? I am using Pure Aquarium "balls" weekly and will probably continue with these, but wondered if i am wasting my time with additional...

Hi, Another LED question, sorry :) I am looking to buy a cheap LED for my 45l Arc Tank (40cm H x 40cm W x 27cm D). Firstly is there any need to go for RGB or is White/Blue ok? From what i have read the RGB maybe a bit of a nightmare with a timer as the cheaper LED's seem to go back to default...

Hi, I purchased a 45L Arc tank from eBay to get back into having plants. The tank came with the Arcadia Ellipse 18w plant pro light https://www.warehouse-aquatics.co.uk/arcadia-ellipse-light-unit-plant-pro-freshwater-18-watt.html. As i suspect the tank is a few years old i wanted to replace the...

Hi, I am sure this subject is covered somewhere in the Forum, but i cant find it. Setting up a planted tank at the weekend and want to try to ensure any snails that are on the new plants are removed. Have seen mention of a bleach solution on other sites, does this work? Thanks, George

Hello All, Have decided to take the "plunge" back into planted aquaria. Used to have a planted tank some years ago but gave it up due to working abroad. I have a 190 litre fluval which will eventually be planted, but have brought a 45 litre tank cheap on Gumtree to plant up in the meantime...
