I much prefer no or frosted background, agree black makes colours pop but makes it look enclosured, my opinion 👌. Dean

They look great i am jealous 😊

What size did you got for large or xl ?

Yeah will use towels or sheeting of some sort thanks, Also should it be fine using fresh tap water in the container then connecting up my filter to it as long as treated with prime just like carrying out water change ? I was worried to much tap water could wipe out bacteria from filter like...

Glad to know i am not alone as was devastated, i will try using the pad around the top and kitchen roll of glass isnt bad further down. Dean Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

I will have to be more careful when cleaning, think i will use them pads if i can see visable algae but maybe just kitchen roll on rest of the glass and be very careful near the substrate and dont go to far down as the 2 scratches are mid way up so must have been trapped im the pad. Dean Sent...

Hi everyone just a quick question i have only had my aquascaper for few months and just noticed 2 scratches a few inches long on front [emoji25]. I do maintenance 2 times over 8 days and purchased some aqurovitro scrubber pads that are quite hard thinish pads and great for scrubbing off marks...

Stunning, i watched on YouTube (dean robinson) and i am stuck beetween buying a aquascaper 600 or 900 , already have a fluval g6 but not sure weather to sell and get a oase thermo 600 instead. Whats your opinions on Aquarium size to buy and filter? Really looking forward to giving it a good...

Sorry for the late reply tank is ticking along nicely very hard to get pics as only using tablet or phone at the min , currently have 9 green neon tetras in and 5 neon tetras and 1 otto, the stores local never had green ones in and wanted some fish for bairns so got the normal neons then just...

Thanks for the kind words again alto [emoji106] keeping as iz for now, yeah the green neons are tiny little fish and very beautiful to look at, I have added my shrimp guard to the inlet for now so hopefully not as strong on intake and still 2 fish there today haha, you think would be ok to buy...

PlAnts will be coming after a while [emoji1] Have some while algae on the wood even though lights haven't been on but there are on now as purchased a few fish [emoji1] got 4 green neon tetras as that's all they had on stock however one was sucked into Lilly pipe and stuck on inlet and one must...

I just watched yesterday's walking dead really enjoyed it [emoji106] so is the m5 the new one is there no uk suppliers ? Thanks Dean

Yeah was thinking might be a nice help ☺ works out at £92 all in but is there not a new version coming out ? Found the m5 one on amazon at around £105 whats difference etc

Just a quick update done a large water change yesterday even if not necessary (couldn't believe the amount of crap I threw up stirring the sand and cleaning the black off the wood , the water was very cloudy) but took best part of hour so give it a thorough clean as need to get used to it, also...

Thanks for that ady I was thinking about getting a lid think you can buy direct from green machine, will have a look, u think is best to see of have many jumpers first then decide , As for fish I will add the ottos last and and tetras first then shrimp, not sure weather to go for green tetra...

Thanks again alto when I run out of tetra I will order some seachem prime next time, I am a little confused about what you mean about 10x dose is that just to protect from nitrites ? Is normal dose ok for getting chlorine out of water ? Will check my levels on Saturday then of ok get a few...

Thanks for the nice words , has been running for 5 days now and i am working till saturday, was hoping to get some fish when off off saturday till tuesday, will add a bit food daily then later in week will check ammonia and nitrate and niterights hopefully all 0 you think that might be long...

Brilliant thanks for all that mate, think I will go for amano shrimp will they just eat normal tropical flakes or require different shrimp food ? Also will add a small pinch of food daily to water you think I should place in enheim skimmer so doesn't float all over tank however will still...

We'll think I will just leave the way it is for now as like the clear water maybe add them in future any other opinions on anything like clean up crew etc what best shrimp etc hopefully don't really get a algae problem as going to have 1 aquabar on less than 50% so should be quite low light and...

I didn't add any source of ammonia but a few ppl thought that the wood and rocks would start the cycle I also added a small amount of household ammonia after water change today to hopefully get it kick started a bit as just looked and my fish food a few years out of date [emoji1] And not adding...

Very nice mate that's for the pics, yeah a few ppl have said that the plecs poop as much as they eat haha might get some cattappa leaves ordered off eBay then, still cannot make mind up on background , You think might be cycled after the 10 day mark ? I will check ammonia and nitrates and...

Wow thanks for replies the wood is staying then [emoji106] Yes it's a 60p tank I don't know why didn't do this a a while ago start backwards by getting fish then adding bits and bobs of plants lol also I was thinking some leaves might look good ady ,anywhere with some info about them as don't...

Thanks alot not getting any plants for a while and the light isn't going to be that bright just turned it up in order for pics, as for algae control plecs are meant to be good for removing and cleaning the wood etc so get one of them and some shrimp maybe algae eater , think about green neon...

Hi everyone didn't know weather to put this in the journals section as not planted (for now) anyway the bairn is dying for fish [emoji4] which is fair enough as been wanting plants to flourish for ages and due to another child that's nearly 1 tank has been sitting with nothing happening anyway...

make sure doesn't float unless weighing it down but sure rinse would be pretty much it but not 100%

Tryed contacting dan Crawford but says user doesn't exist lol not teed the other one yet I will when get home Dean

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5Pc-Aquarium- ... 3f092b420a this set seems decent if all good quality what you think ? if not i am going to contact the person mark listed to see about ukaps tools thanks Dean

Thanks mark anyone know of the ukaps are still available ? So you would advise buying a decent set from the likes of aquarium plant food etc , thanks again Dean

I will have a look on eBay aswel thanks for info also how to u clean glass use razor blade ? Thanks dean I read not to use the magnetic ones is that correct Thanks dean

Also do none of the tools rust etc ?

Thanks for that mate think I will get some ordered later on when get home, straight tweezers and wave scissors sound good to me. Hopefully get used to trimming and planting but plenty of help on here so sure will be fine Thanks again Dean

Hi can anyone recommend decent set of aquarium tools or what would you recommend I need before my aquarium arrives to trim and plant my carpet ? What general tools are best but don't want to spend a fortune , obviously I will need scissors and tweezers but what would you recommend Thanks Dean
