I've discovered a good side to having poor co2 and loads of algae in a new tank - my otos have started breeding! They are about 3 weeks old now, although we saw some newly hatched ones a couple of days ago too. At the last water change, we counted 22! On leaf: On glass: It makes cleaning...

I want to build an inline reactor after one of my Eheim 2217s but am having trouble finding something to connect the eheim 12/16 tubing to it. I ordered a pair of bulkhead fittings off fleabay but the dimensions in the description were wrong and I have to sent them back. So I need some sort of...

I have greenfly all over my emersed plants. Any ideas on how to get rid of them? The only pesticide I have has big warnings about long term danger to aquatic environments so I can't use it. The plants probably aren't in good enough condition to be submerged yet. They were doing well until I...

I've just seen that Charterhouse Aquatics are opening a new East London showroom. They are having an open day on Sunday 3rd November and The Green Machine will be there planting up their display. Charterhouse have also just started stocking ADA products. It's a shame I don't live close enough...

I've just had the phone call from Natural Aquario in Portugal to say that my tank is on its way! I can't promise that this will be a pretty tank or that it will be problem free. I'm sure that at some point someone will say 'the problem is your...

Saw this at my LFS. It made me smile so I thought I would share:

I've just ordered a new tank and wanted to make my own clear acrylic inlet and lily pipes to complete the look. These will be for two Eheim 2217 filters. The inlet and outlet pipes are different sizes. I can find the right size for the lily pipes but not the inlet. The Eheim tubing it needs to...

Can anyone tell me what the NA SUN LED lighting unit is like and how it compares with the NA SUN LUMEN unit (metal halide plus flourescent bulbs)? I mean, I know what they look like physically but how does the light given off by each compare?

When I was asked what I wanted for my birthday and I said "Co2 for the tank" the reply I got was "Ok". Then when I subtly suggested that if I got a big pub Co2 bottle I could have it in all three tanks, the reply I got was " Yeah, that's a good idea". Perhaps I should have asked earlier! I've...

I've just finished setting up a new tank for some cherry shrimps and now need to move them over. However, I acquired the shrimps before the new tank was ready (one of those bargains). They have been busy breeding in their small temporary tank and are now a mix of week old babies, juveniles...

We've just received a letter informing us of a planned 8 hour power cut in two weeks time. Is there anything I can do to prepare for this to protect the fish and filter bacteria? I have 4 tanks. None have co2 or are particularly heavily stocked. Tank 1: 100l heavily planted community tank...

I have a plant that was sold to me as Aponogeton Undulatus but am wondering if it is as. It has 4 submerged leaves about 2"-3" long but more than a dozen large floating leaves, which is a bit of a disaster in a 60l tank! The floating leaves are 3"-6" long and a couple of inches wide and are on...
