    I really don’t see the point of you using the egg crate if the stones are not sitting on it Plus fish can burrow under your stones, therefore they could fall and break the glass The whole idea is you place the stones directly upon the egg crate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Attempt #1

    Most fully planted tank are lightly stocked The plants can deal with the ammonia the fish produce afterall that’s what happens in nature, there’s no god of fish adding ammonia at the head of a river until it’s cycled [emoji23] Tanks beginning to take shape [emoji106] You have to also remember...

    Attempt #1

    Hi mate You don’t need the air pump The idea is you supply the Co2 so that the plants can use it and produce oxygen as tiny bubbles that they release You will see that fish virtually take 2nd place in aquascapes and most have the clean up crew as stated above then a shoal of suitable fish...

    I think the path is much to wide and not in scale with the wall If you used a long piece of slate in the shape you want but then stuck broken pieces onto to say the same width as the wall I think it’s scale would be much better Also you will have gaps in the top path layer which will add...
