Wish I had room for something like this at my place. Only a unit/apartment so space is limited. My little fella has some empty boxes to play with instead. When I try to throw them out he jumps inside. He sleeps in there, plays in there, hides things in there. I've given up.. I'm just leaving the...

Hehe.. It is a funny one. Very trippy indeed!

Really nice, and I'm sure lots of patience was required letting it grow in. How long was setup, start to finish? I think that recently planted c. parva (?) around the front bottom there will work well.

Thank you so much for the positive stuff guys. I appreciate that. G'day keith, greenfinger 2 and PNScheese. I'll update my tank thread soon :)

Well done Jakob. Congratulations on the ranking in the GALPC. There is some very strong competition in Germany, so you have done incredibly well. I look forward to seeing more of your scapes as you go along. Top effort!

Merry xmas to y'all! Have a safe and happy holiday :)

What species is the ground cover in photos 1 & 2?

I just installed the CO2 Pro Compact Injection Kit. It was easy to install, comes with instructions and should be pretty straight forward for the beginner. I'd heard good things from others using this kit so felt confident that I was making the right choice. I also find that the needle-valve is...

Sounds like you're on track with everything. I look forward to the next update :)

If you have any more sick fish, try to get a photo and post it here. We can help to ID the illness and give advice on the best treatment. Best of luck!

Cool. You shouldn't need to clean it every month, only once every 6-8 weeks if you have fine filter wool. If you are using coarse sponge, once every 3 or so months should be fine. If you over-clean the beneficial bacteria may struggle to become established. If you are needing to clean your...
