Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Flowering Anubias Never seen that before! what anubias is that?

Re: CRS baby! Now with pic of babies & my advance filter! lo Is your ph 6.5 off the tap or 6.5 in your tank because of amazonia?

I managed to bag one while they were still on the shelves!

I've been following A1matts advice on the forum on growing moss on window stills and ive been growing taiwan and java for the last two weeks with daily water changes, and i noticed today a little microscopic white worm in the strands of the moss and i dont know how to kill them off. any advice...

is this the pets at home cube and light?

Re: Hare Hill - the shrimp-scape project a1matt has some of this for sale on the For Sale section!

Cheer Viktor, sounds like you've got you shrimp food pretty sorted!! I'm feeding, biomax size 3 grenchem white pellet and tetra shrimp pellets. Thinking of giving them some Hikari Algae Wafers anyone tried these?

What do you think of catappa leaves? Anyone tried bamboo, came up with the idea tonight as its chinese and the shrimps might like the bacteria thingys that'd grow on it.

during your water changes was it just rain water you used? and how did you stop larva from living in your water and other nasty's? Considering it, just want to make sure!

What is this like in shrimp tanks, and should you only use this or as an extra?

What is the ph of rain water? might consider using it in my crs nano im setting up. How do you collect it and stop parasites getting into it like you find in water butts.

Looking to give my CRS a varied diet, what food do you feed your shrimp as im looking for a few different foods to keep them in great condition and happy! Cheers, Flyingfish

Try a moss carpet! IMO they give a lovely look.

What fish are these at 1.30 min? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L24ceM6o ... grec_index

Love it Victor! Can we have a FTS of the other two tanks please. Also what wood did you use in the righthand tank?

Re: 60cm iwagumi scape LOVE IT!

Re: 60cm iwagumi scape can we have a FTS now please? :D

Why dont you trade a few shrimps in for some of your your LFS's bags that they put fish in would save on postage? :) Flyingfish

Re: 60cm iwagumi scape How have you done this with just sand as your substrate no nutrients!? Show's what can be done....

My pets at home is terrible! Dead fish, algae on the rocks and a poor plant selection! really not good for the hobby :(

Heathen! come back and update it with photos!!!! in need to see it :(

Where'd you buy your shrimp from if you dont mind me asking? :)

Re: 60cm iwagumi scape B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L-

Re: CRS baby!!! I'll take your CRS when you go!!!! I LOVE THEM

How's this tank going? Loved the set up!

Re: What shrimp do you want to keep? Crystal Red and Red Cherry shrimp.

Anyone know if there's any 27L in South Wales, only the 14L left in my local ones. If anyone has one they're willing to sell in south wales let me know by PM i'd love to buy one!

Can you post the link where you found the information write up please Viktor? :)

£62

Arrgh! Thought i was being clever, and had discovered a great idea for new media. damn!

Had no idea where to put this, but anyway! http://www.aquaticmoss.co.uk/ Just read the link above that Marimo Balls "feed on the harmful nitrates and toxins in your aquarium ensuring you have healthy water. They are great for reducing the algae content of your water by competing for the...

Re: Tonys ADA Mini-M - 6 days old Grrr... You people are evil! I want an ADA Mini set up now :(

ahh, i dose 1ml daily in a 12ltr

what size is your tank?

Got some CRS on the way and i just want to be sure that my fertiliser tropica TPN+ is safe to use with them. Anyone kept CRS while dosing this? Cheers, Flyingfish

Whens the next one out?

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 'Ruby' Tank and cabinet arrive! Who made the tank?

The one's I was wondering about are the Cubes Glass rimless aquariums new to TGM.

Out of interest, what glass are the Do!Aqua Cube Glass' made from? Opti-white, Reg. Float Glass or other? Cheers, Flyingfish

I have a feeling sales in Penac and Tourmaline BC etc will be down in the UK after this.

What food do they go wild for though?

What do you need the in your substrate out of the ADA system?

i have 10 shrimp, only ever seen one or two take notice. but they are always on a leafs and rocks munching down on something. i just want to see them eat cause it can get worrying. Maybe as they're only small and were sold as juviniles then might simply not be hungry and have enough food all...

HELP!! My cherry shrimp wont eat, i drop an algae wafer in and one or two will go and check it out then maybe have a quick check then leave it. Why wont they eat? the ph is stable at 7.0 and there's no ammonia do i need to look further into water quality. Or am i freaking out for no reason...

You made a beautiful cabinet then that wasnt enough so you put it in a wall, then finished it by doing a top notch scape inside! Dude, you're my hero!!

Shrimp will even eat each other! If it can be eaten they'll eat it. How ever, they still wont eat the 'Tetra Crustation Mix' i feed them!!!! STUPID SHRIMP

Love it! Whats your dosing of NPK and Iron like? I need to up the "greenness" of my plants and your's shows the results i'm looking for. Flyingfish

but the difference in clarity between float glass and opti-white is worth it!

is this float glass? Top notch silicon work also, if you had used clear then nothing would be noticeable. But that defeats the object of showing your top work. Flyingfish

upload to photo bucket, then copy the IMG link on the right of the picture into the editor write box and BOOM you're away. I was looking at ordering a tank around Christmas this year for my christmas prezie! Looking forward to seeing this. Flyingfish

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 'Ruby' Torn...planted or gravel foregroun half moon shaped gravel in the corner, with the rest of the foreground planted? i havent described it well, i'll try draw a diagram if you like the idea.

VERY good idea Mike!

chuck it on a concrete floor, works for me.

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 preview 'Ruby' Some great journals about at the moment! Wish they would get planted though, cant wait to see this in its 'bloom' I mean the title 'Ruby' says it all!

fancy new AE glassware added!

2 more ottos added as i read they work better in groups.

Would love to watch a ten minute complete video of this!

looking at reviews of this, its a complete waste of money and the designers most likely have no idea about planted aquariums.

has anyone had any experience with one or know of anyone who has?

http://www.aquavistauk.co.uk/panoramicpage.html WOW! Dream planted tank wouldnt you agree? if you've got £800 burning a hole in your pocket!

Echinodorus Tenellus has a few red shoots growing how normal is this? does it mean im doing something right or not? Also, when i put my shrimp food in they dont take any notice of it. good or bad? Thoughts on the tank guys? Cheers! FlyingFish

Photos:

Made some changes: Black background Otto added (only one in the shop) 1ml of Ferro daily Echinodorus Tenellus Cryptocoryne Parva Will post pictures tonight!

WOW!!

anyone?

i have the same diatoms starting to for on my glass, and the hairgrass is starting to go like yours. how do i get rid of it?

in the pictures on this page what moss are the shrimp on? http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/c ... p?sid=3054 looks beautiful not to mention the first shrimp, what colouring!!

Looking at this filter for my nano as its a good price and look decent. Not sure about the skimmer bit though but im sure this is removable. http://www.dennerle.com/global/index.ph ... 82&lang=en If this isnt right could someone recomend a nano external that would be good for my 12l nano...

PM me when you start selling them

could you check out my journal and recomend a background colour? FlyingFish!

Bigmatt- i for sure dont want a green background! I was thinking maybe Micromanthemum Umbrosum and Lilaeopsis Novea-Zealandiae just to add some texture and variety. Could mark give me some advice on the black background? Shrimps are loving life! Need to get some crab cuisine for the some...

maybe a little more moss on the under side of the main rock would draw a little bit more attention from the forrest side and appear a little softer on the eye. what do you think about adding a small rock to give a better sense of scale? Lovely idea, really like the wood coming out of the...

lovely tank, just seems to be missing something on the right hand side. how about adding a small little rock just to soften the look of the big rock on the eye, and adding a little bit of moss to the overhang of the main rock. This drawing might make it easier for you to understand. Just my...

anyone?

any ideas on backgrounds? im sure you'll agree that the green wall behind spoils the tanks look entirely. It also seems to be lacking something in the plant department. Any suggestions on plants to add?

really like this scape! Made me want to use dragon stone in my next scape. What are you using for your background? im not sure what colour background to go for on my nano, as the bright green wall behind it kinda spoils the look. Cant wait to see this go into full growth, will be following...

Photos: think the photos have worked this time!! I want to put a back ground on the tank but im not sure what colour will suit, going for something basic. either black or white,

Cherrys have been in for a week nearly now, they're doing a nice job of keeping the algae at bay. Eleocharis has sent a load of runners and starting to form a nice carpet. Going to get a couple of shots up tonight for you all the check out, sorry about the lack of shots recently. Really pleased...

Re: Stu's ADA Mini M nano - Step by step on page 5 cant wait to see this planted! looking forward to more pictures

just brought some really nice healthy cherrys from aqua essentials, pleased with them!

Cant believe it, did the liquid carbon technique this morning and i cant believe it tonight it looks like half the algae on the eleocharis has gone! added some easylife ferro as my iron source tonight so see what regular dosing of that (0.5ml every other day) i think i should be on a winner...

Hi mark, I brought the light second hand so im not sure what it is sorry, i know its three eight watt lights but im not sure of their specifications although the middle is a different colour to the two on the outside. Is this stock lighting or not? Liquid carbon will be here tomorrow so i'll...

Just done that stu, going to do two water changes tonight and order my new ferts. Even more of a disaster my Co2 has run out so will replace it tomorrow,any tips on getting it off the plants to stop more growth?

hair algae over most of the hair grass! NO!! Going to reduce my dosing to 0.5ml and do two water changes a day now, will be dosing liquid carbon and iron when it comes and am adding 5 cherry shrimp on wednesday. hopefully this will be the solution.

how the tank coming along?

i'll be using that then from now on matt. YES!! Shrimping it up baby!! Added a baby cherry shrimp tonight from my edge tank, hes doing good loving the algae on the rocks of what there is of it. Going to go for about 10-15 cherry's but not sure when to add them as ive been taking water test for...

Cheers guys! looking to buy some from aquaessentials in about two weeks, any views on their shrimp quality?

plants look great today! much greener, only thing is i keep uprooting them during the water changes but a few little runners can be seen. PH: 7 Ammonia: 0 Should i stop daily water changes yet as its been set up since monday or carry on for the next week?

Cheers Matt, I did try to add a slope but it kinda got lost in the planting and placing the hardscape. Next time it wil be huge! I'm gonna up the dosing to 1ml daily of TPN+, any advice on increasing the 'greenness' of the plants? Flyingfish

wow this is popular ;) Any feedback on the scape? Also how much fertiliser should i be dosing of my TPN+ daily? im currently doing 50% water changes daily for the first week with 0.5ml added everytime. Cheers

feedback please, also the small internal is only for initial setup for maximum flow.

cheers guys, what did i do wrong?

Shaping the substrate: Finished scape: Hope the pics have worked!

hi nayr88, its only a 12l tank so im thinking of running it on 1 bubble every 2 or 3 seconds. Tank just been planted tonight and it looks great really pleased with it, just look for a nice plant for the background now. Will upload a full portfolio of photos tomorrow when water clears up.

Hi Guys, Just started up my first proper aquascape, aiming for a nice peaceful iwagumi style. Here's the geeky info for you all, feel free to ask for any more info. Started: 16/5/2011. Size: 30*20*20cm Lighting: Boyu T5 8w x 3 Filtration: Boyu HOB and small internal Heating: None...
