    60P - Colour by numbers

    i manually removed all the thread i could, then i trimmed the stems quite low below the level of where the thread was, and then added some excel. it melted my riccardia a bit, even though i used less than the recommended dosage, so there is still a bot of thread and fuzz, you just can't really...

    How do people prune stem plants?

    I just cut the stems off as low to the ground as possible and replant in amongst the old roots. I figure they will break down pretty quick and release their nutrients back to the substrate. This also stops the mess from uprooting anything..

    What kind of tubing is that? The only times i have seen that is when i have put rubber in my tank, either the hoses from my fx5 or growing on the tops of some cheaper heaters.. And suckers, normally only the black ones though.. i dont know what it is but it reminds me a little of coralline...

    Cuba issues

    lower the water level a little its too wet.. you can also mist with a dilute mixture of excel and water, this will kill and moulds and fungus..
  30. wearsbunnyslippers

    Seems easy, a little too easy...

    you could use old aquasoil that has turned to mud, place it in large flat plastic containers, fill it up and plant some cuttings. as the water evaporates the plants will start growing emergent leaves and once the water is below mud level, just water enough to keep it moist. this will have to be...

    Has anyone managed to breed Amano shrimp

    If he means they hatched and lived for a short while as successful then it is probably true.

This the...

    Remineralising RO

    What do you guys think of my hardscape?

    still very symmetrical, as in the one side mirrors the other, if you like this then leave it.. also the wood is arranged like spokes of a wheel very radial, the position of each piece feels very regimented, not natural at all. very nice pieces of wood though..

    how many types of moss in one tank?

    Just something I was thinking about... How many different types of moss can you use in a scape and still have it look decent? Is using a different type of moss on every branch frowned upon, would it make the scape less harmonius? What are your thoughts?
