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!

Stunning. What a great time lapse! I wish it was that easy for me.. oh well, better keep practicing!

No need to blanch lettuce. Just give it a good wash first :)

I haven't kept Nerite Snails but I have had other species over time. I have seen snails eat new growth on plants, but it is usually only a little here and there, and never enough to worry the plants. As Keith said, Iceberg Lettuce works well. You can also feed zucchini, cucumber and green peas...

Hi Manoj. The 24W T5 will work out to around 2 watts per gallon, which is pretty good. You may see some algae though if you can't keep the CO2 levels consistent and high enough for the plants. This means that you may need to reduce the light intensity by raising the light, reducing the light...

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...

Easylife EasyCarbo and TNC Carbon are other examples of Glut products available.. Seachem Excel isn't the only one..

Thank god that green water is gone! Sorry to butt in late in the game. I've found this to be a great read. Craig20102010 you've engaged really well with the learning process and presented great info for consideration. You've listened well to the advice given and it is paying off. You will...

Finally underwater eh? Must be a good feeling buddy. Well done.

Hello fellow Aussie! If you have just started out, pressurised CO2 is probably not a great idea. This is because it takes plenty of research and experience to master. I know of the Fluval system you are referring to, and I agree that it's probably more hassle than it's worth. This is because...

Great to hear that everything is going well. How big are your water changes at the moment? Most find it easier to do one WC every week, but this is down to personal preference and dependent on what you are keeping. I do one 50% WC each week and find that this is enough to keep my tank running...
