Could use some help. I lost my tank a few months back. Small tank with just some tetra's and shrimp. 1 day I notice the water is suddenly cloudy so I do a massive water change, situation didn't improve so I ended up doing more water changes over the following days. At 1 point I ended up...

I have a 55l planted tank. An AquaOne Aqua Nano 40 with all the stock equiptment. The current stock: 10 Green Neon Tetras 3 Amano Shrimp An army of Cherry Red Shrimp 2 Nerite snails The tanks been setup for just 6 months, fish have been in there for 4. My problem is that the tetras seem to...

I have a 55l tank that I'm looking to sell, since I'm upgrading. The tanks planted, has 10 gren neon tetras, 2 nerite snails, 3 amano shrimp and a colony of red cherry shrimp...they've been breeding. A friend of mine would like to take the tank and it's inhabitants off my hands,, but he's...

I have some Taxiphyllum Flame. I started the tank around mid September, tying the moss to the top of the wood and it's done rather well. It's become quite the safe haven for my shrimp, I've found multiple molts inside. I was hoping it would spread downwards though. Will this happen in time...

My Rotala 'Vietnam H'ra' is getting a lil tall now. I've heard that when you cut the plant, it spouts 2 stems at the cut point so gives a bushier look. Roughly how low would you suggest cutting these plants? Also, can you plant the cut parts? Tanks under 2 months old.

My current PH meter has died, after just over a months use (came free with my TDS meter). Can anyone recommend a replacement, preferable something that comes with the power for calibrating. So many different 1's on Amazon with varying reviews.

Did a 50% water change on Sunday and turned my CO2 back on today, had it on really low. CO2 had been off for a few days to let my shrimp acclimitise. Tested my PH and it's dropped down to 5.7, KH is 0, GH is 6. Not sure what's gone on, I did my normal water change, RO water with Salty Shrimp...

I have a nano tank with Tropica Aquarium Soil Powder. I'm using Salty Shrimp GH/KH+ to reminerlise my RO water, my water stats are PH 6.52, GH 7 and KH 2. I was asking around about why my KH is so low and someone said it's because I have an active soil and would be better of switching to Salty...

I'm currently doing 20l water changes on my nano tank. At the moment since there's no livestock in the tank, I'm not bothering to heat up the water. But can anyone recommend me a small heater, plus a small water pump to help me with water changes?

I'm using RO water on my planted and remineralising it with Seachem equilibrium. Tanks been running for a month now, no livestock yet, but I would like to add some cherry shrimp. But I've been told that equilibrium doesn't have all the necessary minerals for shrimp, like calcium and magnesium...

Been looking around for another place to buy RO water from, the only LFS who sells in my area charges £4.50 for 50l. I noticed I have a Spotless Water station very close to me, and from reading the website, it sounds too good to be true. https://www.spotlesswater.co.uk Much cheaper then what...

I've recently purchases a Aqua One AquaNano 40 tank and I would like to set it up as a planted tank, but I could use some help. I got some bogwood, bit bigger then I anticapated, but you can see the tank layout. 1st thing I need help with, is selecting some plants. I would really like...

I had a planted tank a few years ago, but despite my best efforts, everything went wrong. I added more flow, better lighting, added CO2 and starting making my own ferts, but no matter what I tried, I couldn't get my algae problem under control. It ended in a rather depressing manner and I sold...

It's been awhile since I've kept a tank, about 7 years at the moment, and I've been feeling the urge to start again. Last time I tried a planted tank, it didn't end well. https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/having-another-bash.11779/ I had T5 lighting, CO2 and mixed my own fertilizers, but no...

I've had my CO2 off for an extended peroid today while i clean the diffuser (ran out of bleech, long story short, my CO2's been off all day). For the 1st time in weeks/months I actually saw my cardinal tetra's swimming around the tank, normally they hide at the back/bottom of the tank behind...

I've had my tank up and running for over a year now and it's been pretty much up and down, truth be told, more downs then ups, algea has been a constant problem and recently a family member knocked up my CO2 unit when they thought they turned it down. Of course by the time I noticed I lost all...

We built ourselves a pond a few years back and it's doing pretty well. However we've had a pretty persistant problem where the pond is a rather nice shade of green. :sick: I've tried adding products that's meant to help, but I havn't seen any difference, long or short term. The pond does get...

Just a quick question, my diffuser and a few other pieces of glass equiptment are starting to get completely covered in algea. What's the best way to clean them? Scrubbing hasn't worked on the diffuser.

Hello all, I signed up to this forum awhile ago at the suggestion of someone from another fish forum, but due to a mix of busyness and pure laziness, I've not managed to post :? I have quite a few different questions about my tank, which I'm sure belong in seperate subsections of the forum...
