Afternoon all! So with the rising cost of marines in the current environment and questionable ethics with regards to capture, I have taken the plunge into the tropical world for the first time. Rather than spend a fortune on a tank I decided to convert my sumped aqua one 120 tank. It's been...

Nothing to update at the moment

Hi Jay, Thanks for you reply. I'm still only marine at the moment, just doing as much research as possible at the moment. I intend to get started with the fresh water next month Cheers!

Yeh, i get what you are saying. Thats the beauty of import tax!

Charterhouse is a UK site zozo, couple of downsides is the limited stock and the smoked glass back which maybe a turn off for some.

Totally agree mate, if definitely doesn't only apply to the fish world. At least with tropical most fish are tank raised and it's all they have known.

I practise Brazilian Ju-jitsu and enjoy PC gaming when time permits

Super nice setup, i have pondered about keeping Dart frogs for years but have yet to do it!

Thanks, The Prices of Fish and Coral has gone mental recently tho. My LFS told me that TMC are just being plain greedy at the moment. What sort of tank did you keep? SPS, LPS etc?

Thanks!

That's one way to do it Edvet, not sure its tho right way though! haha

Sounds very much like my marine journey.

Thanks Edvet

Sorry if this has been covered else where, i have seen around the forum that too much light can cause issues ie diatoms. Are there any other symptoms to be aware of? and is there an ideal Par range for plants in there respective requirement category?

how long did you keep marines for? what where your reasons for swapping back? also Welcome.

Question regarding water changes. Is it better to do little and often or larger quantities and less frequent? thanks

Where in Egypt were these dives??

Fantastic tank, keep up the good work!

I like the idea of 'calibrating' a test kit with RO, im surprised that is not something I picked up from the marine hobby. Interesting point. Thank you for your input.

Nice little conversation this has started! I really appreciate the input from each of you. Thanks to Zozo. This is the sort of advice that should be being given out by LFS's.

thanks :)

Apart from No2, No3, Ph and Ammonia is there anything else worth testing for Ian?

Looks fantastic! where did you pick up the ADA tank from?

Thank you for your help!

Thank you!

Thanks! Got a couple, but most often I go and see Sam at Acres Aquatics in Corsley Somerset.

from my LFS

Hi, Are there any general rules of thumb for stocking of planted tanks? I appreciate the ethical side of the hobby in terms of length of fish vs tank size. Many thanks!

Hi, Can anyone point me in the direction of a good set of test kit? also i have some Salifert test kits from my marine tank, will these work the same? Many thanks!

Welcome :)

Hi, I'm new the world of planted tanks, but have kept marines for a while and looking to add to the collection but i hear there is a lot of knowledge from my LFS (Acres Aquatics) so i will be searching the forums for all the Info etc I'm based in Frome, Somerset. Hopefully one day I can...
