Just had a read, seems rather serious and non treatable. Do you know if this is still accurate? Thank you for the response.

So I don't recall the name of this fish, I have 9. 8 are extremely shy, only forage when I feed then instantly dart back under the wood. This 1 has been active for ages, the win was stolen about a year ago but he's been active so no concern though it looks concerning it is a year old injury...

You think a 4ft tank 300 litres would be too small for angel?

Tank dimensions? I am wanting a change, and really really fancy discus... or large angel fish. Looking for tanks to inspire me as my 4ft I think discus might be too large...

When you say wood found locally, can you expand? I really want some more wood however from a fish shop it all seems, excessively pricey.

Pitchforks? You part of the village people?

Anyone got pictures of a 4ft fish tank with either discus or angels. I seen discus and worried they would look too big in there. Also need tank inspiration if I keep going with angels 😆 thank you

My tank is 300ltrs. About 6 months ago or so I had 6 angels. I had 1 large solo angel and wanted more so got 5, 1 died within a week, but I never found the body (was there before bed) I then lost another after a few weeks. Treated the tank for parasites I think it was as noticed some poo was...

Soooo I must be doing something right, first my ramps successfully made little fry (eventually got eaten but they made it past eating their own eggs) Now my angels are at it!!! Pictures of eggs, eggs are pretty high up so worried about water changes, can the eggs be taken out off water? Or do...

Thank you, I shall just have to wait until I am allowed a new tank 🤣

I have two filters. I will keep both canisters on seperate in pipes. But is there a negative to making them both return to 1 outlet pipe? Interested in thoughts as I would like to clean the tank up on whats inside, and my tank restricts the entrance / access from pipes so the lid is not...

Wellllllll Seen eggs 3 times, stopped worrying about fish or not... but but but but loook! Proud mummy and daddy.. So cute they suck up stray babies and put them back 😍

Woke up this morning to find mummy eating the eggs :( thanks for the advice.

Should i do water changes as normal? Tonight is the night i would do one...

Full tank shot 2 weeks ago. Eggs are far bottom left next to sand so right down.

I will take a full tank shot. They have done it in a small area undercover....:)

Thats the one lol thank you for knowing my fish ;)

Excellent question i have 6 bolivian rams. 4 angel fish 6 rummy nose 6 fish i have forgotten the name off. They hide all day and sift the sand, kensi ... 300 litre tank.

looking for advice. I am not actively looking to breed so not worried about the babies, just concerned the fish may get tired from defending their new territory and babies. Woke up this morning to see a pit made, two bolivians spending time there, and now eggs hehe. Just excited and dont...

Reading the journal and i was waiting to suggest this. Air stone under your media so the bubbles go up, while the water pushes it down... back to page 2 august i go. Hate spoilers...

Omg! Love it

Which rotala? I have the green one... grows rapid and easy to trim and replant and grow and trim and replant....

300 litre and 11 discus plus the angels and what ever you have on the bottom... how are you not over stocked *covers eyes*

It would be the amount i want as a minimum. They are £50 in my area, so 6 minimum. If i could pre order i might be able to get them cheaper... but like i said its still a lot of money lol. Id personally love like as many as possible all different not one the same ... expensive taste haha

May be i am being over fussy. I notice when refilling the tank the fish love the strong fresh current.. i will ponder all the ideas. Might re adjust the outlet and see, wonder if i am just reacting to what was a hige bbe outbreak. Made a flow change and things got better, however other changes...

Discuss is the dream but at £300 just for fish... wife is not happy on that idea while we still need to complete the house haha Watching this as my virtual tank haha

Smaller one 1050 litres And the 600 is apparently 1050 as well according to google however side by side the 600 seems like a jet and the 350 a trickle lol So 2200 an hr Tank is 300litre 7.3 x an hr turn over...

That sword section looks great!!! Inspirational!! Love it

Full tank shot. Biggest filter output top left across the short side with a outpipw with holes and smaller one top right back of tank single outlet .

Hello, so i still need to get more flow in my tank, the plants hardly sway apart from my tall plants at the back, so here is the question and worry. I have a 4ft tank, currently running the eheim 600 litre filter from far left to right and it slightly pushes to the front of the tank. I also...

P.s you have made me think about my flow and rest periods... thanks Might put my biggest filter on the back wall again to spread out distribution and look at getting some circulation pumps to be on with co2, great little idea.

Any more recent pictures? Looks great and noticed this was well over a year old... close to two

Good to know, but again i can get them out at feeding time.... its all the other time i want to see them lol

Well..... tank doesnt feel like its moving along but just looked back and yes... filling out. Algae is... sort of coming in to control. I keep doing large trims to cut out as much as possible and keep working my way around the tank, hugely improved but still got some issues. Huge thank you to...

I stick a pump i n a bucket with my new water. I can treat and regulate the tempature straight back in to the tank then. The return is on a spray bar to not wash everything away Saw on this site and a huge relief at water change time.

Thats genius!!! Using a simple canister to clean the tank without doing a water change... this right here needs a reward!

Amazing shot from behind. I am eventully moving my tank and might do this from a side panel. Huge inspiration from this shot

Love a good close up of each section of the sump with an overview of all of it. Been running a fair few weeks so would be good

Hows the sump working out? More pictures of that too please. Tank looks amazing. Amd loving the test of different plants

Watching with interest to purchase some for the future to replace some eventually.

Thought you might have seen it move somewhere else. Damn it. Its like reading a book and not knowing the last 50 pages have been torn out

@Zak Rafik just read all of this... what ever happened? @zozo do you know?

Now you have said it. I have had a google and pretty much going to say yes. I do have some other snails but these rams are clear leaders in my tank lol.

This is also my guess... i want to protect the eggs... not sure how though

Anyone know what this could be? Its on the back where i leave algae so hard to get a decent picture.

Yes yes yes... why worry about it... doooo it got all us tht cant

Totally jealous... your tank is looking stunning

I am yet to witness bullying and i have had both 1-2 months ish... wouldnt say either have grown much... Should i not treat the whole tank? I will check nitrates again and check tap water. I think tap is zero. Thanks again. Massively appreciated

@alto so went out and bought some stuff. Got home and hes swimming a bit more and eaten a little. Not got time to get the old biorb out from the loft. Not sure i will get time to buy more angels till the weekend either... might be a late late night monday if he she is still struggling. I...

Going to see what i can do tonight. Mightbe able to sort out a tank. Tried frozen food, the red worm thing and daphne zero response. He has always been the same shape but use to swim about and ear well.. but last two days this behaviour hence the post. Nitrate could be due to Ei? I did a big...

Yes the bubble counter. Might swing by a lfs and get a non return valve then as it dribbles water back when i take it off... which annoys me since its the water that should be in the bubbles counter lol

Hi i have 1 angel not feeding. I have 10 diamond rummy 2 angel fish 1 slightly bigger 6 Bolivian rams 7 kensi cory I have tried spot feeding and it just does not seem interested. Its hanging to the bottom of the tank too. So i am concerned started 2 days ago. Water changes done.. only...

my only on going issue is water always slowly disappears from the drop checker. all is tight. any suggestions?

that fts makes it look loads darker than it is *too much light again even for the camers*

i do think its fair to say too much light... one photo is bang under 1-2 lights. Other as you can see is a darker area.. lots of red algae.. and well non... i have changed the outlet pipe size and direction to try and increase tank flow and water movement. i have also added a small pump i...

Whats the best way to share a video? thinking to get an idea of flow rates.

not going to even lie... tried twice to read that link and wooooosh over the head haha

just had a look... interesting. would all those bubbles not make the filter noisier?

full tank shot.. i will look at getting floating plants... omw to the sale section lol

no fine sponges just blue coarse do you like that plastic black things? mech pro and square thing bio mech

complete wasnt getting any growth with it but had same algae issue

TNC was the off the shelf product. looking at the ingredients to EI it is significantly less.

as a side note last night i spent some time on maintenance... i am shamed to say both filters were really dirty. neither are jam packed eheim 2 pro 600ltr has 3 blue sponges 1 on each level and alfragog. the eheim pro 4 300ltr is as standard... blue sponge on top.. black plastic... square...

thanks for all the responses typically my mobile broke and got a new one ordered. i will try to add and answer all. https://cpc.farnell.com/v-tac/402-vt-30-b/floodlight-led-30w-6400k-black/dp/LA07365?CMP=TREML007-005 these are my lights.. at 300litre and 50cm depth this was what was worked...

https://www.aquasabi.com/aquascaping-wiki_algae_bba-black-beard-algae read this... so more water changes... and may be more co2.... maybe some easy carbo to kill whats in the tank

please see attached photos as this will best describe the problem. i stripped back the plants 3 weeks ago as i was not using EI but some off the shelf product. the plants where pretty much all algae free, clean, roots trimmed, stems trimmed, more substrate added etc etc regular weekly water...

if i do a large water change with EI should i continue dosage as normal? its a rolling 6 day programme so start back to day 1?

i have this plant in 4 locations which grew rapid.. and i plan to have dotted around the back and sides. i have already seperated the majority of crypt but i do like that 1 big bunch, and yes thank you to you i am now fully aware of the crypt leaf death and plan to keep an eye.. i plan to trim...

these little guys are easier to see and roam more and this odd one makes pits again

i made some small changes too. the co2 is now attached to the eheim pro 2 as it has more output... hoping the co2 will distribute better. i have moved an inlet to the other side of the tank so circulation will be better. i am now using EI

so not going to lie the tank went bad with algae.. 2 types from my research and i think fundamentally caused by poor nutrients for plants. so i got EI sorted... tested it and plants grew quickly after 1 week... but the tank was a mess sooooooo i took all the fish out and did a rescape. i...

i really like pets... how many would you say works for a 300 litre? 4ft tank?

looking at the levels of nutrients in my TNC and the EI i will be using its clearly been starved of nutrients. so i have upped my nutrients lights are on for 6hrs. i might reduce this? thoughts. co2 seems stable. pressurised co2 with online. 1 hr before and off 1 hr before lights off. nice...

mine has been in water for 5 weeks... still no signs of sinking.. so i am now drying it and going to weigh it down... hope yours sinks

thank you i have had a good laugh. i will follow the instructions lol

i was not fully aware of how over it was. huge explanation in simple short terms so thank youuuuuu! so the other side is say i do 4 tbl spoons but my plants use 1... is it worth measuring on day 7 before a water change to minimise waste. in this example 3 tbls is too much but 2 would be...

so the whole point of EI is to add too much, and have a excess. based on what i have bought i know how much to add per a litre. does anyone actually measure their micro macro? do you tweek it? once i start with EI, HOw many weeks before i add additional (eg) magnesium because my plants...

boom done! thank you

right im going to be honest. this is going way over my head. im a visual kind of person and all these kee345 pt345 etc numbers is hard work. has any one got a suggestion on where to buy all i need, a hand shopping list ? does anyone live in leeds who would show me and talk me through what...

had another light delivered. thought it would be a 30minute job now i know what im doing. got it wired up and here we go another light. got the hood down to attach it and realised my other lights are cable tied preeeety tight. i also ordered 3 water proof 3 gang connections to replace my...

if i start with 5-7 id need to get rid of 1-3 when they grow up ... i dont really like the unknown over stocking idea... i thought there was only altum and scalara

wow just wow.

coral red ones are stunning... bet thats an order though .. never seen them in a lfs

unfortunately i think that would be like feeding water to my hungry wife haha.

generally think the wife wants something bigger. easier to see.... are green different? quick google looks slightly different...

how did you get on adding a group?

got any themes? what is your water like?

love these little fish of mine... so wife has complained....... my corys hide... a lot... no one but me knows they are in the tank. the rams are low swimmers so not obvious enough for the wife wife has demanded a fish to be seen... any one got a fish to reccomend? i plan to get 5 rummy nose...

so couple of questions... should i be worried about this gill? it looks like its missing a part and more red? is this shrimp pregnant? i have another looking the same? i know the zoes need next level care but im more concerned about the rams getting a taste for shrimp. any ideas on the...

thanks for this... i need magnesium...

very nice concept... i await a progress report

when you say deficiency what are you looking at?

any ideas to why they may make circles... ?

personally floodlights as you can control them. good luck

this one?

i will double check which plant that is *face palm* please point out more silly mistakes..

just ordered 1 more. included with 3 gang waterproof connectors as the cables are really short! lol says 900mm but they come 9 inch..

lights are working great. plants are pearling and plants are growing.

just some extra photos of my babies. also happy to report finally counted all 6 cory kensi.. seriously thought id lost one.. on the last picture, should i be concerned about those air bubbles?
