Ferts and co2 arrived today and that pic was taken last night so, next pic will be in a weeks time to see if there's a difference Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will keep an eye out for the plant you mentioned, the heater has been moved to the back wall for now, I totally agree re the HOB or canister filters and I do plan on upgrading to one (probably canister) within the next couple of weeks. I'm in 2 minds about a new light unit too as the lid is...

Howdy Lee   Welcome to TFF, hope you like it here 

Still no joy I'm afraid Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, you can actually buy some diners as model kits you know? I never have though but I have been tempted. I bet those took some painting. Cool though very cool Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Guys   The above is what I started doing a couple of years ago, I got addicted (as I do all hobby ventures) and then after messing up my last paint job I fell out with it and started selling the kits i had collected so I could buy a tank and start with fish again. I did have a decent...

Thanks Byron,   I just fed the team so hopefully they got some, these have learned fast because they are at the bottom of the tank amongst the nooks and crannies, covering Jaws 2's house is a decent sized piece of wood, which is slowly becoming covered in moss, I noticed one creeping about on...

Sounds good, cheap and very cheerful 

It appears so, fancy falling in love with a fish that no one stocks, oh my.   I fell in love with a fish once, my Mandarinfish, geewizz it was my pride and joy, but alas it passed away, I later found out that they dont eat so called 'normal foods' apparently you need to have an ancient tank full...

Hi Patty   I hope that you like it here, Im new too but the people are full of knowledge on here so if you have any questions just ask as I'm sure someone will know the answer to your quest for information.   Regards Ash

Hi guys, I did a water change today and spotted a little platy in my tank, I know the mother had dropped as her spot had gone but being in my tank I thought I would never see anything swimming. But low and behold there is was, a spotty little fish swimming about. I went to the shop and got me...

Not so good news I'm afraid, 1 of the shops says they never get them and the other says they rarely come in but will let me know if he here's anything. However there is a 3rd I know of and its large + I will be going past them tomorrow to get my kids so I will pop in. Fingers crossed Sent...

You have been busy then, I will ask at my local today and see if they can help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good morning,   Have you tried looking into garden centres over a specific aquatis place?   I assume your in north Yorks somewhere as thats where Northallerton is, and theres a large garden centre in Knaresborough, may be worth a shot, theres also a decent sized aquatics place in Leeds but that...

If its one which sits within the tank I would try turning it off and then turning it upside down and moving it around in the water to see if any bubbles come out.

I was just about to post a thread on near enough the same thing, my tank light unit is creating dark spots within the tank so I was considering getting myself a 3 bulb LED unit, after reading this I now wont bother.   So next up will be a DIY twin bulb unit, im no good with carpentry either but...

Done, Ebay £15.90 for 500ml of both with delivery, cheaper than Amazon by 4p 

I was thinking about the CO2 thing earlier as when I went to the shop to enquire about planting a tank he mentioned it but I didnt buy any at the time I just took the soil stuff (JBL aquabasis + and JBL Manadu) and some sand and left.   Wont have time to get any tomorrow as got a really busy day...

Thanks Akasha,   The bulldozer thing has put me off a bit now lol, the zebra's are a beautiful fish and my fave's (with the starlight BN 2nd) but waking up at 6am and popping into the garage to see my tank destroyed would make me want to quit fish keeping   However,  another tank in a few months...

Wow, when I saw the first pictures I thought you had your own store and these where your display tanks... Not likely they are all yours!!   AWESOME!!   Planted tank is my fave 

HI Guys   New here and just starting out again after a 10 year break.   I have a 80 x 30 x 40 (LxWxH) planted tank which houses the following   BN plec 2.5" female I think 5 x cardinal tetra 4 platies 2m + 2f 3 guppies 1m + 3f (lucky boy) 2 cherry shrimps  1 mardy rainbow shark   I love the...

  Thank you very much, I dont actually have any plans tbh, I just wanted a tank with real plants and some fish, (though I really wanted a marine tank and decided its too mush hassle) I'm hoping that the grass stuff covers the front and the bush things bush and the fish dont die, should all that...

Wow your tank has come a very long way since the beginning of the thread   Sorry I dont know anything so I am unable to offer any advice, but your tank looks a little foresty to me and perhaps a trim would make it more aesthetically pleasing though each to their own I say!

Thank you    Oh and for those who havent seen the pics of my tank.   here it is        

Welcome to TFF!! Im new too 

With a black background and the weedy plants moved to the rear        

Thanks people and thank you for the input against my tank pics     

I have read up today on this and the biggest problem could be the shrimps though no one seems to have had any problems from what I could see.. Time will tell I guess but on the plus side Jaws 2 pays them no attention, he is mardy though and doesnt like the guppies very much.           I have...

Hi Guys   This is my first go at planting a tank and my first tank since I quit fish keeping about 10 years ago.   Ask me what the plants are and I would look at you smiling like a goofball and say ummm green and red ones??, though I know that the grass at the front is grass stuff and the moss...

Good morning   My name is Ash and I currently reside in Doncaster UK   Many years ago I bought a 3ft long tank and decided to keep tropical fish, I was well into the hobby, buying smaller tanks and setting them up as breeders I managed to breed and raise corydora's, Bristlenose plecs, danio's...
