Hellooo all, It has been a while since I have been here. Due to studies and my job and my time, that I can spare with my family, I had no space for this up till now. 18 months of break with 1 failed DSM (due to no time) in between and I'm back on the track again. Still with the same size of a...

Hello All, I have been away from the hobby for a number of years, after a moving house, as it just wasn’t suitable to set up my old tank, so reluctantly had to get rid of my old tank and all own old equipment. Following a recent change in my personal life, I needed to do something that...

Couldn't wait and have started my new Fluval 30cm. cube tank. Had a terrible time trying to plant in ADA Amazonia substrate, but with handy tips from fellow members, have made some progress. HOB filter flow made a crater in the substrate, so I made a small sponge "dam" on the filter raceway...

Hi, I woke up this morning with a little bit of a problem: a) I am finally able to take some time off work now that Xmas and new year are over, but sadly not enough to travel away from home. b) I have decided to stay away from new year's resolutions and therefore I have no wish to hit the...

So I started this tank back on the 9th June (can't believe it's been that long) and have had some set backs with some plants not doing so well due to soil burn (I presume) and have changed things around a little. Basically this was an experiment to see what I could grow DSM and I tbh I wasn't...
