Not technically new but has been salty for almost 2 decades. Came back to planted with a medium size tank... love the jungle style and lots of books and spaces CO2 injection with radion xr30 light (non point in buying lights if you have something that may work) 8 female guppies, 3 panda cory...

short version, changing jobs and the as we are renting at the moment, the owners sprang a surprise return to the UK. It left us to change our plans for the immediate future till we get jobs, etc fully sorted and know our longterm settlement plans. A smaller tank is easier to deal with till we...

This jungle is now closed, plants are up for sale and some are in the holding tank. Many thanks for all the input and comments guys, many tanks.

There you go nayr88, they are posted

Goodness gracious.. how on earth did it happen. Removing the plants from the tank, I now have a bucket off excess plants..

Marthin's the name (yipeeeeeee!!!!!25) My pygmy swords went nuts, got some lilaenopsis (cant spell this), cryptocorine, some big swords, some stems. (dont ask me the names) just threw away half a bucket of trimmings, that was 2 weeks after the last trimmings and my CO2 was not running.

thanks guys, I'm sure I'll hit 25 soon and will then post.

Hi guys/girls what does one do with excess plants? Due to a very unplanned house move, I will be rescaping and most likely go smaller. That leave LOTS of plants. What to do?

got home tonight and found the sparkling gouramis spawning.. was well exciting!!! yipee

Re: Ben's 90cm un-named re-scape - The beginnings BL)*£)*$ brilliant.. cant wait to see this one growing

Very nice. Liking the jungle overgrown style. It will look so much different in a week or so, keep the pics coming.

Thanks Faizal. It's very simple really.. dont assume you know anything, try everything and if all else fails, realize that nature will find a balance now matter what. And a good sense of humour always help. Many thanks for the compliment

Thanks guys. yes, incredibly lucky here. Just checked and still have quite a few babies under the leave, with daddy (I pressume) guarding. As I have 3 sparkles, I assume I have at least 1 of each sex, but guessing, I think there are two males as the biggest one was flashing yesterday to the...

quick update. cleaned the tank yesterday, turning into a mega jungle with fish, both fry and adults everywhere. Latest surprise is to find my sparkling gourami has spawned.. About 1 inch from the front window.. very convenient, will try and get some pics. Well chuffed

Re: New journal [short term] ISLAND UPDATED 1/4/2011 Have to say that its looking awesome. totally natural look to it.

A bit of an update. Really battling with algae, turning the CO2 up and up and up, eventually testing with phosphates above 10 and nitrate above 80 according to API test kits, I did a series of extensive waterchanges. Despite the struggles there was some good things. My Kribs spawned, my snails...

Re: Fec's 90cm opti-white "Sticks n Stones" Absolutely stunning!

Hi people, thought I'll just mention that Lampspecs told me this morning that Osram is discontinuing the skywhite 880. It is no more, highest they have is the 865 Mart

Day 10 now. http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j35 ... ul/010.jpg http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j35 ... ul/012.jpg I feel growth is good, but somehow the colour is not great. Second pic shoing the pygmy chain sword growing like mad, but the new leaves are almost yellow/white/light...

Sounds like a great plan. Beautifull piece of wood

Congrats mate.. very nice. Like the hollow under the tree stump.. lots of hiding space for the cherries

I'm will be watching for the answers on this. I had the heater, filter and CO2 running as soon as the tank was filled with heated water. As fertilizer, I'm well in the dark. Got some advise to go along with EI system, so awaiting the dry good. Growth can be manic Of course it will look good...

Thanks Holding on to start EI system and to see how the stuff growns. George made a valid point that I did not seperate the stem plants and crikey.. they are bushing out nicely, will see how it goes. Fish plans also needs sorting. Since apistogramma is out of the question, I'm not sure what...

My word.. this is going to be good.

Thanks Nry and Tom. No worries Nry.. I have been keeping marines for the last few years and planted tanks are not that different, now I work with plants, rather than plants living in an animal structure. There are so many beautifull tanks available on the internet and info galore, so it's not...

Cheers guys. the Crypts was actually deliberate. it does not show but the wood gets very close to the front glass and the Anubis, once grown, will shade most of that area. We all differ, so I thought I would like to see what it looks like to reverse so many tanks I have seen with a...

thanks Ivan, Otto's are added to the list.. have seen then, but as I understand they do need algae to survive. Is my tank not maybe too young/unestablished for a fish with such specific needs? I should really clarify, i like small shrimp. like cherry, crystal shrimps. amano's are huge in...

I think I've done, it.. picture wise anyway. This is tank.. day 2 hi guys. many thanks for the input. regarding the CO2 drop checker. .i forgot to mention, I got one, just need to get some Kh 4 solution.. did not quite get that when I got it going. yes, I think there is more CO2 needed, but...

Hi Everyone, already many thanks to all the information that everyone has been sharing on here. Having fish since I was about 4 in South Africa, I have always had some sort of fishtank going. The early years in the uK I was way too skint to do it and when I started I got interested in...

hi All, was recommended to use this site by a LFS. Glad I did. just need to pick everybody's brains to get the tank spot on.
