I was quite proud of mine. Bring it back! :(:(

Cool to see Green Neons in their natural environment. Some of my fave fish

Interesting read. The guy has a really great lookin shop.

I've seen redmoor root thicker than her thighs

Best journal ever?

I have one on my main tank and it's worth every penny. Really good value for money.

Eh?

Re: Ryuoh Ravine - Taiwan Fires Lookin good Whitney. You starting with new plants or using the existing?

Nice to see you on your way. I don't think it would be overkill to add that other bit of wood personally. The slate kind of looks like a shark too, lol. Keep us updated when you have your plants!

Apparently lowering the temp can help them colour up too. I keep mine at 23

Ha, Whitney. I use Flora-base. They have a 'Fine' version and normal. It's the same job as the ADA stuff really just cheaper. http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/substra ... 2_220.html

Re: Baby shrimp successfully hatched from a dead female! Reminds me of the time when I thought my shrimp were gang banging a pregnant female, but on closer inspection they were eating the eggs.

Easiest way is to leave a bit of the floss on that its planted in the pots with and just and plop it in your substrate in small clumps.

Very similar, just bright green. I've seen about 5 of them, but only have a few blurry photos. Just googled it and found this The green colour with blue tipped tail has me thinking you might indeed be right.

I just chucked all my stems out and washed a few other plants. I found a nymph when pouring the dregs of the tank into a net the other day, got it in a tub on in the window.

Here's a slightly less sadistic alternative lol. That's actually the staurogyne I got off you months ago. Notice how insane it grows in a low tech! (not) :|

Stripped everything down and didn't find a single one. Catching 100's of shrimp is not much fun either! I still haven't caught them all yet and I've been on with it since about 12. Got a boat load of stems and crypts left over, and they look happy in their new setup.

Wow. I'm surprised I even have shrimp left!

I just replied in my thread to you, but in case you didn't see, yea its a dragonfly

No two ways about it mate, that's exactly what they look like. It's an epidemic!

Is it the 300mm bulb? £3 from here: http://www.bltdirect.com/products.php?cat=653 Still not exactly very bright, but they're just low output ballasts after all

I've no idea. The vast majority of my plants come from other UKAPS members.

These must have came in on some plants or something. I just hope they haven't got into my other tank. Check out the irony of the song lyrics lol.

Yea I'm gonna strip it all down at the weekend. Nightmare! Excuse the music. It's better than what was coming out of my mouth when trying to catch it.

I've been finding green dragonfly's flyin about the room for the past few month, but couldn't find anything in the tanks. Until now! I spotted the horrible little thing kind of half out, half in the water in my shrimp tank. I tried to murder it but it swam off. :crazy: I'm sure I read...

I've kept the together too. The adult shrimp were fine, but the babies got mauled.

When I first got into this hobby in 2008, my first tank didn't do too well either. It can be incredibly disheartening watching algae slowly ruin your tank when you don't quite have the full knowledge on how to deal with it effectively. Just gotta keep reading and keep at it to reap the full...

I couldn't believe how many fish they crammed into that tank.

I do about 30%ish a week, slowly siphoned through some airline tubing.

There are limits on how much of a salt will dissolve in water, but I cant remember the exacts.

Spider shrimp, spider shrimp, does whatever a spider shrimp does.

This kind of makes me feel better, as I dropped a bucket in the bath doing a water change and smashed a hole in it last weekend lol. That was one expensive water change. Did you manage to save the livestock or did they all die?

You'll end up with a busted reg if you do that

You checked the connections etc to make sure it's not taking in air or something?

I had an S3 for a while and I thought the same as you regarding the size, but in all honesty, I got used to the size within a couple days. It's lighter and thinner than an iPhone and most the Blackberry's too, so you hardly even feel it in your pocket.

I had xrays a few years back. Nice little fish, but I'm thinkin slightly bigger. Not really an issue, as I can get rid of whats in at the moment. I think a blue dwarf gourami might fit in there nicely with some green neon tetra.

For as long as I can recall, I've had nothing but small/smallish schooling fish and shrimp. So I fancy something with a bit more meat on it. What do you reckon I should drop into my 20G? :thumbup:

The spray bar comes in sections, so you can just pull it apart to whatever size you want.

Had the 1400 up and running for a few hours now. The flow is rubbish with the spray bar, but if you take it off its actually quite good. I also left the bottom media tray empty bar some floss, to help with the flow. It's much quieter than my Eheim too. Quite pleased so far. :thumbup: Oh...

Plain gravel would be fine, as long as you are dosing the water column.

I've got a 1400lph one coming tomorrow. For what I paid for it, I'm not really expecting much. I've also read that the flow drops around 50% of what's stated once it's filled with media.

I think you made the right choice there. Nice lookin bike mate

Don't be stupid. It's gotta be chicken breast.

They seem quite common where I am for some reason, but they are always priced at around £2.50ish each.

Torrents :shh: Just watched an episode of Tanked. It's very.... "American?". Loads of corny, scripted parts with terrible acting. Still quite a good watch though lol.

Never heard of either of them! Downloading some Tanked episodes now. What a sad life lol.

When I win the lottery, I'll maybe start thinking about buying my stuff from TGM. Have you tried http://www.poseidons-palace.co.uk/Poseidons_Aquariums/Rimless%20Aquariums.htm Danny? I bet he'd drill the tanks however you want no problem.

Can't find a rock that fits the gap properly where the flat one is.

Agreed mate. I actually started to rescape doing just that after I posted the pics. Except I made it more of a raised cliff kind of style instead of a smooth bank. Not actually got a list of plants yet, as I still need to order a filter, light, co2 reg etc. Gonna upload some pics of how it...

Hows this looking so far? Honest criticism/suggestions wanted! With the incredibly filthy glass, crap lighting and amazing photography skills not being a factor. :shh: Went for a bit of a sharp drop off "cliffy" type look on the left, to a smooth gradient down the right, although it doesn't...

The bubbles are more likely just attaching to the already existing surface film as opposed to creating it. Surface agitation will get rid of it though.

Whatever you do, don't put the cat litter in without rinsing it. Knowing what I know now, if I used it again (I won't) I'd let it sit in a bucket for a week with daily water changes.

If I had the space, I'd be that man.

I've found a few dried out CRS on the floor in the past. Once found a danio in the bin still alive too lol. No idea how it actually managed that, because the bin is under the desk.

"Plastiscaping" :wave:

I used to know a few drivers myself, and what they used to tell me, I'm honestly surprised people even get their parcels at all tbh! I also had to deal with them at work, watching them literally throw boxes around the back of the van looking for stuff. Hopefully when I get in from work, I'll...

They've got it good over there. A 9litre bag of Amazonia is about £18!

Cheers. Me too! I remember once getting a delivery from them a couple years back and the box was soaking wet with a big hole in it. It was a dry day too. Because I'm back at work on Monday and I work daft hours, plus the depot is quite a distance to travel. I might have something sorted...

I think they're very closely related to cherries, but the colour & size difference is really noticeable. The females roughly about the same size as an Amano I reckon.

They never do that anymore, they just take it back to the depot. I don't actually know me neighbours anyway, and it's 2 boxes worth of stuff, not too sure they'd be happy taking in a strangers mail full of rocks and what not lol.

Edit; scratch that, they stop at 2PM on a Saturday. It's killin me. I originally messed up my order and had my old postcode on my address, which added another day on the delivery, and I thought it would be next day delivery, but it was 48hour, so I took 2 days off work for nothing as well...

Anybody ever had a delivery come after 5pm with them? Waiting on my order from Aqua Essentials being delivered. Been sat in all day waiting "patiently" and I'm starting to feel like a kid who's just been told Christmas might be canceled. Tracking says its "Out for delivery" 18.08.2012 00:01...

On another note, how do you get though life without knowing how to send a parcel?

Lmfao.

Whats the difference between the blue and red Hydor heaters? I've got a red one but constantly see blue ones on ebay that look identical and are the same wattage. Purely cosmetic? Older models? Red Blue

Just looks like Argos play sand to me.

I've got Sakura shrimp that have deep red colour and are relatively large in size Not mine, just to give you an idea.

Don't knock it till you've tried it.

Same here. Nothing better than being elbow deep, so to speak.

Roll out camping mats, yoga mats, you can use all sorts really.

Re: 120 x 55 x 55cm planted... @ 2 weeks "The Mirage" Due to the way the reflections on the sides make it appear much larger than it actually is.

Re: Just added another tank to the collection I'm on my 3rd tank now and have this constant internal struggle to try and stop myself from getting more. It's a disease!

You are clearly making a new sleek black line design for your curtain rail ends.

The ultimate coffee table.

Big turkey baster right in front of their faces, if they're not too skittish.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/aquamoss-uk/m ... ksid=p3686 Got nothing listed for sale though.

Yea

Very similar. I can't see properly on your video, but it looks like you have the power head near the bottom of the tank? Pull it up near the top and point it downwards ever so slightly so the plants aren't in direct line of the power heads output, see how that goes.

I've got about 1400lph turnover on my 55litre. Even the baby shrimp aren't bothered by it unless they swim right into the power head, then they get a shock lol.

I use a blue T5 tube on my shrimp tank so I can sit and watch them at night. It's creates a really nice chilled atmosphere. Couldn't recommend it enough.

I thought as much. Never actually seen the Fluval tubing before other than in pictures that's all. Cheers :thumbup:

Bit of a rush post before work. Do the inline heaters, atomizers, etc go into the Fluval tubing ok? I'm lookin at gettin a 405 but the tubing looks bigger than standard tubing, not to mention its a weird corrugated plastic, that looks like it has no flex to it. Cheers

The smell when opening the bag and washing it wasn't nearly half as strong as what it smelt like after sitting in the tank for a couple days.

I didn't have the sack to remove the bottom trim off my 12gal. It's not a Fluval though, no idea what it is.

I've been using it for a while now. I wouldn't use it again if I'm honest. I washed the living hell out of it for about 6 hours and stuck it in the tank after getting fed up of washing it. It gave off a smell that apparently made the house smell like a hairdressers lol. The smell went after...

Is that a challenge on Crystal Maze?

Damn.

Good site for cheap T5HO tubes. http://www.lampspecs.co.uk

Whoooo lives in a pineapple under the seaaa?? neeeeeon tetraaa! Real nice lookin tank you got

You can get a pair of 27cm curved tweezers for about £3.50 from Hong Kong on ebay mate.

Re: Tribute to a Tributary. update That sounds like a green flag to me. Have at it!

Re: Tom's Bucket O' Mud - Stumpy Sad to see this stripped down, but that's a huge change and will look just as good no doubt. I demand more pictures!

Re: The forgotten nano Canon EOS 550D according to the image data. Lookin good Iain mate.

Doin a good job of cleaning your wallpaper I see.

I've seen the 36" one from all pond solutions, but I'd rather not have overhang if I could help it. Anybody know anywhere else I can pick one of these up?

Re: Juwel 350litre Aquarium I like how this has turned out. I think the dense greenness adds character to it, but if you want some red in there, maybe a Nymphaea Rubra would break it up a bit?

I dunno, yours does seem more hairy than slimy. (that sounds a bit.. ..) Has it always been red? Is it not dead BBA or something maybe?

Red cyanobacteria possibly? I think you treat it like BGA.

Re: Tom's Bucket O' Mud - Stumpy Nice one. I think a visit up the moors is in order asap!

Re: Tom's Bucket O' Mud - Stumpy Forgive me but I haven't read the 25 pages of your journal lol, so I might have missed a discussion about the heather. Never seen it used in aquarium before, is this stuff that's been burnt off and you've just pulled it out the ground and chucked in a tank? I...
