Hi guys, I have just completed the hardware & hardscape setup of my first ever planted tank. I am going to plant with Eleocharis Acicularis Mini across the whole substrate surface for a clean & simple look. What do people think of my hardscape layout & plant choice?

Guys Couple of Quick question but thinking of moving from a signature 600 to 900 but all seem to be reef systems. 1) has anyone used sumps reliably with planted tanks? It will be a low tech setup. 2) if I removed the sump does anyone know how best to blank off the holes in the back of the...

I'm running a TMC GroBeam 600 on around 60 litres of water, without a controller. Pressurised CO2 injection, liquid fertilisers and JBL Plant Soil. The tank is a couple of days old, but I'm aware I'm running the light at 100%, around 10 cm from the water surface. Plants include: HC 'Cuba'...

Hi Guys, I've got two TMC MiniLED 400 tiles mounted about 2 inches above the surface of my ADA 60P. I'm running a high-tech setup with pressurised Co2, dosing EI ferts etc. I've got good circulation and the drop checker is a lime green - yellow (no fauna yet). I seem to get reasonable results...

Evening chaps. I have finally come to the conclusion that my discus tank will never bee the planted paradise ive dreamed of due to the difficulty of balancing the needs of the fish with the needs of the plant. So I have decided to treat myself to a new optiwhite and a stand specifically for...

I am pretty new to aqua scaping. But have kept tropical and marine fish for years. I work in the same building as George Farmer. So it was only a matter of time before I caught the bug for planted tanks. I have been advised to try the dry start method. All turning out well I should hopefully be...

Hi all, I've recently re-scaped my TMC Signature so I thought I'd start a new journal on here. Not really a groundbreaking aquascape - re-using the moss-covered Manzi from my previous two layouts that you can see here - George's TMC Signature | Page 38 | UK Aquatic Plant Society Specs -...

Hi all, I thought I'd post two comparison photos showing the difference between the ADA Solar I metal halide with NA-Green bulb (150w, 8000K) and 2x TMC GroBeam 1500 Ultima (2x 30w, 6500K). ADA Solar I ADA Solar I by George Farmer, on Flickr TMC GroBeam 1500 Ultima TMC 1500 Ultima by...

I'm keeping "Medium" Level plants according to tropica.(It said medium on the side of the plant tub) I'm currently using stock lights,which aren't too bright-they don't reach the bottom very well and the spread isn't the best. What would you reccomend? Would a TMC Aquaray 400 tile be ok? I'd...

Hi all, I'm really excited to be aquascaping again for the first time since May last year. I have a TMC Signature 60x45x30cm (clear silicone) with gloss white cabinet. I need to cut out a half moon in the cabinet side for the filter hoses because unfortunately they're not pre-cut. I did...
