I have a Fluval spec sitting in the garage and plan to have a play with a dirted tank once the kitchen decorating in finished. I’m just going to use what I have lying around already - some potting soil and sand to cap, some previously used hardscape and whatever trimmings or plants I have spare...

I have a large juwel vision tank, low tech, with some big pieces of oak in there. There is a gap where two pieces cross over that I’d like to plant something in. It’ll be dark in the planting spot until the plant grows out of the gap. Already in the tank I have Java ferns, anubias, buce, Amazon...

I have a low tech heavily planted Fluval Spec V. Current stock are 5 male tiger endlers and around 30 cherry shrimp (currently, they are breeding). The endlers seem a bit shy and spend much of their time hidden in the plants, so was considering adding a few more. AqAdvisor tells me I shouldn’t...

Help this newbie guys, because I can't grow anything, not even a spot of algae! I have a 120 juwel lido with the t8 lights it came with (2 x 24W I do believe) they are on between 4 and 10pm. Planted in there are mini Java fern, Java moss, blyxa, various crypts and some hygrophila. But nothing...

Recent events in my life have meant I have less time for my tank. I started by downgrading from 500l down to 100l, but in reality I can't have the tanks in my life at the moment as they end up being a little neglected. It has been a while since I was on a forum or bought or sold anything and I...
