Hi Guys, I need some help here. I know a few of you frequent the PFK forums. Since the hack and shutdown I have had nothing but headaches trying to get back onto the forum. I would class myself a pretty competent at handling a computer, but cannot figure out what the heck is going on. I...

Hey guys, I'm looking some advice on floating plants. Currently I have a salvinia sp. (i think) in my tanks. I've tried duckweed, but its a major PITA. I'm looking for something nice looking without super long roots. Is this just wishful thinking. Currently I have found: Azolla...

After gaining the advantage in the algae battle, my donwoi are starting to look well. So i took a picture!

Pictures taken with my new Nikon D40. I think I've a lot to learn about my lighting, depth of field and apatures! excuse the floating plants at the top... the fish are very sensitive. I plan to grow crypt. balansae up to the surface, but in the meantime its this floating weed :-) Some of...

I visited Port Meirion in Wales last week. The garden in it is amazing. Its a cross between an overgrown bramble patch and a formal garden.. its quite weird. However, there is some excellent mosses on the trees/braches and an unusual japanese pond area. It has given me a lot of ideas about...

I took a snap of my main tank today. The camera is on my mobile phone, so dont be expecting a David Bailey shot!!! Its a RIO 180 litre, DIY CO2, 2 X 38W T5 arcadia plant pro, inert substrate with JBL balls. Fert, normal dosing is Pot sulph and trace twice a week. I get my nitrate from my...

Not sure if this is the correct place to put this post... but it crosses a few boundaries. Basically my tap water phosphate is 5-10ppm!!! (HOLY moly I hear you cry) I have been trying to dose N,K & trace to see if the plants soak up the phos. But there is too much. I'm suffering from...
