    Why are lily pipes useless for growing carpet plants?

    A brief video of my setup, maybe you can help!

    It might be worth getting an internal drop checker and checking the CO2 levels in those bottom reaches of the tank, just to rule that out. Something is not reaching those lowest plants - could be the light, could be the CO2. I hope somebody's advice here helps you crack this :)

    Fissidens Fontanus problems

    The dark green comes from increased levels of chlorophyll - a response to low light levels.

    (Microsorum Pteropus SP. 'trident') problem?

    I believe microsorum is particularly sensitive to drying out so if it was out of the water for a bit, while you flooded your new scape for example, that could be why.

    CO2 Canister Question.

    Thanks all. Those new CO2 Art adapters look much better. Will check compatibility with my reg in the morning and might buy one tomorrow. Will post a review when I do. Thanks for the advice. Sent from the comfort of my Samsung S III Mini. Wish it was an iPhone...

    CO2 Canister Question.

    I'm on SodaStream as well and am in exactly the same position. My canisters last me about a month. The problem I find is that they often leak when I'm putting a new canister in, despite changing the o-ring every single time for diligence. This makes me a bag of nerves each time I change them...

    Carpets with Cory?

    Stauro puts out really long, deep roots in a couple of weeks or so. I'd imagine it to be ok. New plantlets will need replanting until they take hold, but it really shouldn't take long.

    ADA or Optiwhite, cant decide :(?

    I agree with trevor. If youre a perfectionist and have a project already in mind, then settling for a smaller tank is surely the bigger compromise. Get your water crystal clear and the difference in glass (if any) will be impossibly minimal. Just don't by an ADA tank next if you go for an...

    ADA prices in Japan?

    Thomas - if you're getting around by train, but a 1 week Japan Rail Pass before you go. Available from JNTO - Japan National Tourism Organization | Plan Your Trip | Transportation | Discount Tickets | Nationwide Railway This pays for itself in a Tokyo-Kyoto return but is allows you to ride as...

    ADA prices in Japan?

    Hi Thomas, I'd say that if you have only a week, stick to Tokyo, Kyoto and Niigata. You'll need at least two full days in Kyoto. I work for a travel company where I started as a Japan specialist - have a look at our website for ideas etc...

    Should ask what you're going to Japan for. Sorry!

    ADA prices in Japan?

    I lived in Japan for four years and although I wasn't massively in to ADA stuff when I was out there, if the rest of Japan is anything to go by, expect it to be MORE expensive than over here. The Japanese tend to love their brands and those companies know people are happy to pay a premium for...

    Useful glossary of terms and acroynms

    There are a few more that are frequently used on here, which would be useful to get added. Took me a few posts to work out what everyone was talking about! FTS - Full Tank Shot FE - Fire Extinguisher DSM - Dry Start Method TNC - The Nutrient Company ( ;) see here!) Plus others frequently...

    Tropica Plants

    I would ask P@H what days they get their plant deliveries in so you can pounce on them before they have time to deteriorate..

    Help tracking down an aquascape I saw...!

    Hi, Sometime last week, I stumbled across an image of a beautiful aquascape on here somewhere, but I cannot for the life of me find it again, despite hunting high and low! Here's what I remember: Pretty sure it was a 100cm tank. Island layout with manzanita wood surrounded by white sand...
