Different types tbh. Sometimes I used tropica, sometimes the TNC complete. Sometimes DIY ones i've mixed myself. If i had to pick my preference i'd buy more TNC Complete.
I also have tap water that is basically RO now and reminerlize with a GH/KH booster.
Hey Konrad 3ml all in one per day. 50% water change once a week. Aquasoil was new from the start of the tank. although by the point of the photos the rear planting was actually mostly detached from it in a low mound. :)
Indeed. They do settle in ok however, with plenty of displays of courting and such like. I've also made sure I had a decent ratio of females to males. Other then the alarm they show when you access the tank they generally act pretty chilled and are always on display or in central areas. :)
I'm not familiar with the term pump their gills? i've not noticed them "heavy breathing" as such. They have been fun but i'd not consider them for another planted tank of this size or minimal scape I think.
They are very skittish. As soon as I put my hand in the tank they shoot off at high...
I'll journal the lot with photos. After a gap for moving north and buying this new place after renting it's about time i gave something back to UKAPS again :)
I will aim to take some photos of the puffer tank this week at least. :)
Still ticking along. i've actually let it grow WAY big on the mounds. it's amazing how large monte carlo can get and still be green underneath. i'm planning on rescaping the tank once i've set up the cleanseal edgeline 90 in the sitting room. I've also done a 30cm cube puffer tank that i'll...
yup, loving it. my journey into planted tanks went (after extensive reading) straight to higher tech. always refreshing to be reminded of alternatives.
I look after a couple of non CO2 planted tanks nowadays and am constantly amazed by how good i can keep them going and looking.
just shows...
Thanks man, its a great plant.
It really has been a good indicator of water param's too. When I was in the old place the tap water was much harder and the rocks added a bunch more hardness (there are a few more pieces buried under the plants). The Hygro didn't do so well under the harder water...
Indeed.
After 18 years in the city i've moved to the scottish highlands for the last year and a half to get closer to the landscape. My new house (as of 3 months) is 200m up and surrounded by birch forest on 3 sides.
Crazy plans a plenty. Going to be setting up a Fish Shed sometime in the...
You should see the rest of the room. My partner is busy converting the whole place into an "Steampunk, Adventure, Explorer Family room". Sometime soon the stuffed animal heads will be mounted on the walls to go with the old maps etc...
Thanks man.
Cheers. :)

I thought i would...
Thanks man. I just wish my photography was a bit better sometimes. Always learning. I was a little impatient in getting the photos done last night and actually like the fish arrangement in this photo better (below) but i overdid the exposure (corrected a touch in photoshop).
Oh and here is my...
Hi,
Since my last year has been full of a couple of major moves I've had little time to do in house large scapes but have managed to keep this one building up until now.
The title is Brighid Sleeps after the celtic god of the same name. She was a goddess of fire and springs often depicted with...
I'll happily take the strip off your hands. I'm slowly moving more and more of my tanks onto LED, that would be awesome. Ill pm you.
Do you have an eta on the discus tank? I love amano's classic ones. He really shows off the fish. :)
Welcome,
I've seen a good number of your smaller tanks elsewhere. Its so nice to see them all in one post, by the man himself.
You sir have an amazing talent, and are completely mad all at the same time. 8)
Best Regards,
John
Hi,
Love this. These optiwhite tanks are so classy. Deffo going to invest in a couple for my new flat.
Can you fill me in on the other hardware you use on the tank? is it filtered at all? If so how does the jungle cope with flow, does it all get flattened? what is the actual volume of the...
I have the Venezia 190 as you might have seen from my journal. I looked at the Trigon 190 when i first bought it and i think i was swayed by the cabinet in the end. Is the Trigon pre-drilled for the external filter? What are the lights like too? have you modified them at all for better plant...
hi,
hardluck on the cyno bacteria, i hated that stuff. just to say i tried the backouts a couple of times to beat mine but it didnt work. so i was bad an managed to get some aquarium erthromycn through customs off e-bay. A five day course and the cyno is gone and never come back in any trace...
