Hi Clive May I quote some of your words re. hair algae. I wanted to write a blog post and your words sum it up perfectly Richard :)

I'd say go for it :mrgreen:

Launching Trace Mix Plus http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/index.p ... o=&x=0&y=0

We've got some of the old stuff back in :) We'll get it listed shortly

Some of you may have seen this on PFK website but I thought I would post it here. Incredible...

I'm not getting involved in this thread but I will set you straight. You clearly misheard what we stated about Aqua Carbon. It's 20% stronger than Seachem Excel but is not stronger than Easycarbo. This is apparent by the dosage: Aqua Carbon = 5ml per 50L Easycarbo = 1ml per 50L I now believe...

Totally rocks If you like the beat boxing, then you'll love this guy who is a genius. http://www.beardyman.co.uk/

This tank is a cracker Re. 'green stuff' sounds like you want some nerites in there. Be a nice selling point for the shop too.

Hi We've now got the substrate in stock. Both normal and fine It doesn't need anything below it either - just the same as Aquasoil.

Just saw this thread Thanks Everyone :)

Yeah Luis does some serious scapes and he's definitely one of the best around who should really show off more of his tanks! People need to see more aquascapes like this for inspiration so thanks Luis :)

I recommend feeding your shrimp a high quality food that will help them with molting. This should stop any more issues.

We sell it :) http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/index.p ... ne&x=0&y=0

Well done Zig - one hell of an achievement. You've left a real footprint on the map now (just a shame you aint British!)

this is useful too http://www.plantedtank.net/substratecalculator.html

Very cool

Shop Keeper - Aqua Essentials & Juuka

For people new to bonsai, go to B&Q or Homebase - everyone I have ever gone to sells them. They start at about £10 You can also get cool Japanese gear for bonsais on Ebay - lovely scissors, trimming tools and fertilisers

Nothing special - just a commercially available one that I've had for years. I think it's Chempak or something like that.

I have kept Bonsai for years and they are very simple to look after. Most people fail because they forget to water them - that's all. Bonsai have very small pots so they dry out quickly. I have found too much fertiliser has a negative effect, leaves drop off etc. I fertilise once a week and...

We sell Clear Tubing 16mm by the meter Check it out and it's fairly flexible http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/index.p ... ts_id=1132

I think you may be creating a rod for your own back there Ade :D I use hot water from very old water pipes and mix it with cold water for my CRS tank (and all tanks in fact) They're all alive and kicking (& breeding 8) )

Re: James3200s 6.5x2x2' planted tank Is there an update on this tank? I wondered how the altums are and if you have any shots of them 'in action' :)

Brute force or stanley knife blade - being very careful of course :P

not at this stage but maybe in the future

I think it's a very interesting subject and probably one many have dreamt or indeed dream about. I remember speaking with a colleague many years ago about this subject and it certainly comes with its difficulties. From recollection, he spoke about the difficulty of dealing with customers face...

Black Tahitan moon sand is black (not grey at all) :) Hagen Extra Fine Black River Gravel is also very black

I have a contact who is keeping some at pH 6.5 and one is pregnant! pH8 sounded too high...

I love this set up and it is very military like :) Re. the altums, are you going to quarantine them first? Tis a big tank to treat if they get white spot!

http://www.aquadam.com.pl/index2.php?s=1 What ever next?!

Hi Guys Yes limited stock to begin with but we will be reorder on a weekly basis (hopefully). The range will increase back to former glory eventually. Tropica do indeed require retailers to purchase all potted plants in lots of 5. So if customers want 1 plant, I have to order 5 & take the...

Supply and demand Georgie Boy The planted enthusiasts are still a very very small part of the rather old fashioned aquarium market in the UK. Germany for eg are much much bigger than us, and only now they have a distributor - we're years behind in that way. But the whole of Europe is slow...

funny you mention that. I was only talking to my new supplier of mini landscape rocks and redmoor wood (which arrives next Thurs) about shops and he was saying he believes the planted aquarium market is the most untapped market in the UK. We were discussing planted v marine and he said you...

Well Aqua Frontiers (aka ADA Europe) won't stock it and I don't know why I have other means though but it won't be for a few months until it arrives

This is what I was told by the distributor: The old Wormer plus wasn't regulated which meant other products were added to it to 'bulk it up'. Also, there was no set measurements - they mentioned half a teaspoon or something like that for dosage per X litres of water. The problem was what...

They will only supply ADA to Germany They're not allowed to sell to the UK (trade anyway) Looks like ADA France never took off then :roll:

It's got to be the Rhinox 5000 8) Cracking diffuser

Ah yes, an all in one job. Nice idea but very difficult for stock control on websites Yep, moved lily pipes into filtration. I've been running a survey for a while and that was some of the feedback which I took on board. I somehow missed it last time and then forgot about it

http://www.ada-germany.de/ News to me !

No I didn't - I'll be stocking them submersed for the time being. I am looking into a more advanced hydroponic set up with climate control though

A wider range of wood is something I intend to expand on Of course for plants, the choice is yours with Tropica Kits for Nanos? We have glass ware and diffusers specifically for Nanos if that's what you mean?

I'm looking forward to selling plants again too. Glad you were happy first time round. I don't have much time for scaping these days :(

yes, long term :)

plans will be to stock the entire range again :) I have also reconsidered my initial proposal and I am now willing to offer individual plants to be ordered - if customers are after any plant in particular, let me know and I'll order it in.

standard pots will also be there - sometime on Wednesday

What a warm welcome - thanks everyone Didn't take long to ask for a discount did it! It's a good idea though. You scratch my bank and I'll scratch yours - perhaps one of the mods can drop me an email and we'll go from there with regards to setting something up?

Hi Everyone Thought it was about time I stopped snooping and registered 8) Great forum and glad to see lots of people pushing the hobby forward Richard
