Hi everyone, I have some leftover profito that i have no use for aquarium-wise, so would it be possible to use it as a fertilizer for garden plants (chillies)? If so, how should I dose and in what quantities? Cheers

I just bought this from ebay a couple of days ago: 2.5Kg Fine Black Sand Aquarium Fish Tank Substrate 2.5kg | eBay And for some reason, i only just considered that the sand is most likely dyed, so it may release toxins that are harmful to shrimp in to the water? Has anyone had any experience...

I just got a phone call from PFK offering me 3 issues for £3 delivered! Has anyone else been granted this amazing offer?

My RCS in my 60 litre have stopped breeding for some reason (I never see any females with eggs anymore). I used to have around 5 females with eggs at a time and now I have none! I thought perhaps all my females died (unlikely I know) but I have not seen any dead shrimp and I have seen females...

TGM have offered to knock up a couple of scapes for me so that i can order some seiryu rocks from them without the worry of getting unsuitable rocks. They have asked me what sort of scape i am looking to do "e.g, island, triangular or u-shape". I have a pretty good idea of what the first two...

Not sure if this has been posted before but i just watched it and found it very interesting :)

How would I go about removing algae from an emersed tank? Its just some sort of green sludge looking algae on top of the substrate.

So i set up a 20L emersed tank a couple of days ago and took some pics on the day of set up. Substrate is just a simple soil based compost but i mixed it with some old Dennerle deponitmix that i had lying around (had no other use for it) and capped with a little gravel. It's in my bedroom and...

So I've recently put some Colombo flora base in my 25L tank. I haven't filled it up yet put it claims to reduce the ph to around 6.5. This is a huge problem for me as my tap water comes out at about pH8. This will surely cause some problems with water changes. My rain water is around 6.6-7pH and...

As the title says, will carbon and zeolite in the filter remove fertilisers from the tank? I will be using the EI dry ferts method.

So I'm going to buy a 300L/H external filter for my 25L planted tank and I'm planning to have some sort of inline CO2 but I'm not sure which would be better for circulation of the tank? Spray bar or lily pipe? I will probably make the lily pipe myself and I can always reduce the flow of the...

I'm looking to buy a cheap external filter for my 25L high tech planted tank and so far the best NEW filter i can find is this http://www.aquariumonline.co.uk/hydor_p ... 01220.html Anyone had any experience with it? Or can someone reccommend me a good, cheap external filter for a 25L? I am...

So i have a couple of ideas for setting up Co2 in my 25l tank. Here are the two plans: (excuse my paint "skills" :lol: :oops: ) whichco2 by callum fish, on Flickr As it's a 25L tank plan b would look quite ugly since there woul be a filter taking up a large amount of the tank. Plan A...

How much water should my filter be pumping out per hour in a 25L high tech tank?

So i'm setting up a 25L Iwagumi. I just need a little help on ideas for the hardscape! If possible, could you tell me which one you think looks best? Light is a little dodgy. Here are some pictures of the different styles: 1. IMG_4060 by callum fish, on Flickr IMG_4061 by callum fish, on...

Has anyone had any experience keeping these shrimp? If so, could someone please give me some info on keeping them and any tips from past experience? I've got red cherries and just wondering how different the yellow ones are.

So i've seen a couple of topics on inspirational iwagumi's etc but none on where the original inspiration comes from. So, i thought, why not make one? :D Here are a couple of landscapes that I'm sure will be a basis of scapes I do in the future: The mountains in the background are what i...

Does anyone know of any good tutorials on how to make a DIY CO2 bubble counter? Callum

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has had any experience with using organic potting soil/any type of soil as an aquarium substrate? It seems to be becoming more and more popular and I was thinking about giving it a go, but have heard it can really mess up your tank even when capped properly...

Hi everyone, i'm Callum from Bristol and have just started looking at this forum after it was advertised at aquatics live in London a couple of weeks ago! Hope that i can learn even more about planting, especially in high tech tanks. I have a 120L community tank and a 60L shrimp tank. I'm...
