    New to planted tanks

    Hi Jon and welcome. :) Regarding the plant IDs... Microsonium Pleanopus = Microsorum pteropus (Java fern) Camprocoming Wendim = Cryptocoryne wendtii It is recommended to plant heavily to start as it will help battle algae issues that are very common in new setups. Other top tips are...

    Fluval Edge 46 aquascaping

    Hi Marty You don't need CO2, but adding a daily dose of liquid carbon fertiliser and comprehensive nutrient fertiliser will help growth. I recommend starting with 2ml of Easylife Easycarbo and 2ml of Tropica Plant Nutrition per day, with 50% water change per week. Plant heavily from the...

    Fluval Edge 46 aquascaping

    Hi there and welcome to UKAPS! I used Unipac Maui Sand which is an inert 1-3mm rounded quartz gravel. Plant-wise I recommend some low maintenance species such as Cryptocorynes, Anubias attached to wood or rocks, and some narrow leaf Microsorum. Cheers, George

    Hi Rudi and welcome to UKAPS! All the best with the planted discus tank. The articles on the main web page are a good starting point. I would say one of your biggests decisions is whether to inject CO2 or not. Cheers, George

    Marine refugee begins odyssey

    You should be fine with most Echinodorus - fascinating plants. They are very nutrient-hungry, but with non-CO2 dosing is less than CO2-enriched. For non-CO2 methodology Diana's book is excellent. Tom has some great articles too - http://www.barrreport.com/showthread.ph ... O2-methods

    How/Where did you hear about Ukaps.org?????

    Hi greenjar and welcome to UKAPS! It's a matter of taste. Some folk love them, others hate them. There's also a middle-road where sometimes fake decor can be used quite tastefully, in my view. What is interesting is how some people's taste change after they've been repeatedly exposed to...

    Just a quick introduction

    Too much light is a common issue. 2 x T5 is plenty for most plants, or in your case 6 @ 33% power! But you know that now, I'm sure!
