Im same mate understand totally

Dude, this is looking fun, watching this with interest as I've been pondering over a new shrimp only tank for a while to go in the hallway, Fran has a sort of shabby chic long thin table which has a sort of emptyness atop it's painted shell! I got to thinking a nice tank would look sweet on...

Looking great Troi, another one i'll be keeping tabs on:clap:

I'm liking this too [emoji1] hope it all knits together looking great

Just read every page, top stuff SF, love it all :)

Well in the last three weeks we've had a couple of issues, mainly a large powercut giving rise to bba on the bogwood, stauro at the front and also on the aponogeton boivinianus at the rear, spot dosing liquid cO2 and extra water changes seems to have brought things back in toe, although there is...

Something's just ticked my box mate, looks just right can't wait to see this fill out nicely:-) Hopefully I can learn a bit from this for when I eventually get a proper tank like this, my vicenza 260 has been a steep learning curve, so I'm following this one too, you must be pleased as punch so...

Not updated for a while so here's a few tank shots:-) Left side Centre Right side Fts I'm really impressed with the manifold purchased to split the cO2, the two built in needle valves are excellent making adjustment to both inline atomisers a doddle:-) I could do with some plants...

Hi mate, JBL m001 with m002 solenoid, it's rock solid:-) Had a few issues with easy Aqua regs but this is spot on can't fault it. Co2 now as I wanted it using the German manifold, cleaned both UP inline atomisers and can easily adjust Gas flow evenly between the two, it's awesome, a huge 4 foot...

Incredible:-) Something to aspire to, thanks for sharing;-) May I ask, as you positioned the hardscape in the flooded tank, how had you attached the mosses to the wood prior to positioning, had you previously completed a dry start with this using the yoghurt / blended moss method? Sent from my...

Fitted mine last night after a pre use clean, I had a good burst of bubbles on testing so ran it for a few minutes before lowering the bubble count and setting the timer for today. I now have not much happening as yourself:-/ checked for leaks and all fine, pressure from JBL reg is 3 bar and...

I use Prime

Dave, did you clean your's from new or just go with the flow! I've just received one this week as I couldn't get hold of another UP inline anywhere, looking at it though i looks identical apart from the stickers, even the seam on the plastic cover is the same as my existing UP version. I've...

I'm inclined to agree, some people say he doesn't exist in the flesh, but he's the forum's AI generated by the Matrix;-) Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4

Kids in bed, Mrs P at work so thought I'd play with my wood:-o The weeping moss was all over the place as I can't get it to adhere to the wood so I cleaned it up, snipped off the fishing line and glued some flame moss on instead that I've been farming on my kitchen windowsill:-) My nights work...

Work well mate, the green of the flora really stands out now, sudden bling;-) Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4

Sorry about the fish loss Sam, we've two cats, they do sit goggling at the tank but can't get to the top on our 260:-) holly does sit on top of our temperate nano in the kitchen though as its lid often has her hair on it. Can I ask if you're pleased with the PH pen? I need one too and have seen...

cheers Mark, seems to have done the trick with the stauro still where it should be when I got home tonight and not floating around the tank:) Yep Bob likes to help, why at that age do they have a fascination with all things water related? it's dangerous when he helps with the water changes, but...

My hammer happy assistant little Bob creating suitable sized filter media alfagrog stylee;-) Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4

Here's something I created as a practical barrier to limit the uprooting and burial of my stauro from the antics of my digging bristlenose:-) Mosses are fissidens and Xmas moss from sa80mark:-) I've kept the trimmed fissidens mesh in the tank so hopefully when this regrows I can add to what I've...

Wow:-) I like the moody lighting, it will be great if I can look back on this in ten years time, I wonder what I'll think then if my first few forays0:) You can understand the issues I've been having with this tank with flow and circulation with it being bowed fronted and reasonably deep, I...

Hi mate, no not mine :-) maybe one day though;-) they are great but I'm not ready to take on these beauties yet Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4

CO2 now been running through both outflow pipes by the two UP inlines for just 5 days now so not expected much to differ from previous posts just yet. I do have small amount of bba on the sword at the rear which was there before the additional diffuser was added last weekend, hoping the better...

Ok so cO2 is now split by the super manifold from Germany Flow from the full length spray bar is just what I've been hoping for since January! Although I still have the circulation pump in the tank I've not had it on for over a week now and the plants seem to be just fine:-) So I have a tiny...

Yep, trim it you know it makes sense, if only there as a temporary measure, gives everything the best possible option for the short term:-) I have two spray bars on my 4 foot, I trimmed one so they would fit together nicely;-) Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 2

Will do pal;-) been waiting over a week now for my parcel from Devon, need that second up inline and bubble coubter:-) maybe tomorrow but as just rescaped, doing water changes Sunday and weds at the moment to be safe. Hopefully I'll split my cO2 Friday evening, stick some music on and tinker...

OK, so I should be receiving my second UP inline diffuser from the postie in a couple of days so I can split my co2 between the tow JBL e1501 filters, then I'll give it a couple of weeks and add back my previously removed reflectors, see how things go and hopefully start to fill out the tank...

Thanks for sharing this, it looks fantastic. It seems just what we need as an addition to our 260 litre higher tech planted tank, less maintanace and no dirt! I have gravel and may just need to look for a slightly better filter that came with the tank but this has given me the kick I needed to...

I have been looking at your nano tanks for some time now and am fascinated, I currently have a 30 litre nano empty atm and was going to start mineralising some dirt for a low tech tank, can I please ask as you only have gravel as substrate and don't dose ferts how do your plants do so well? I'm...

The plec is always there at feeding time:-) he loves the JBL novo fect pellets stuck to the glass and can get his luscious lips right round them;-) He's a troublemaker though as he enjoys landscape gardening in his spare time:-D Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 2

Hi yes the wood is one large cave, hollow and the plec lives in there apart from digging up my stauro;-) Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 2

Top man I'll deal with this asap ta Darrel:)

Looking good:-) Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4

Cheers Ady. Eventually would like to replace the huge bogwood with some more sensible redmoor root, should free up some planting space too. Anyone know how to deter my bristlenose from excavating under the bogwood?, I've had to remove the stauro from in front of his cave and the blyxa is buried...

Sorry for empty posts tapatalk being special, or its likely me:-) trying to add a couple more pics

So after 10 months in the hobby, a steep learning curve and trying to follow Ceg's guidance on flow and circulation I have now rescaped with a couple of New additions, in 10 months this is my first photo posted to the forum:-) now running two jbl e1501 filters with spray bars and have also put...

Similar at my house;-) now I have my 2nd new filter I need to strip down the tank to remove the existing fluval which came with the tank ad it's drilled:-S fair bit of work to do and will need a whole day without any assistance from my 5 yr old;-) this is just to get the matching filters and...

Did you manage to complete your reactors jojo? I finally have my second JBLe1501 now so will be trying to find time soon to put my two togetger:-) hopefully Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4

will you be mineralising the John Innes for a few weeks before you flood the tank? The Fluval Stratum isn't something i've heard used much, is it the flora sized or their shrimp substrate? both are supposed to reduce the ph quite quickly, not sure if this is so as not used it myself, sorry for...

This looks a challenge worth following, I for my own lack of knowledge jumped into the hobby at the beginning of the year with a 260 litre bow front, I've had my share of problems, I've learnt a lot quickly and still have much to apply, I understand how important flow and circulation is and...

Hi Mike, did you use all 90 litres in the end? just wondering as my tank is similar size and was just going to order 60 l of the fine stuff but now unsure if this will be enough, depends on if I bank it high? cheers

well there goes my early night, started reading this from start to finish totally engrosed! Fantastic stuff and i've learnt more tonight than over the past week reading random posts. I too must start a journal
