Do you see my predicament now hahaha! :P

haha thats alright, worst case i can just change them :P lol

I use to have that :P but the other way around and i was getting a 'line' towards the middle of the background which i hated :P so now i dont know lol

Awesome, i'll keep my eye on it, if i see anything weird I'll get in contact, thanks again!

Hi guys, I'm just cleaning my tank at the moment and am wondering which would be better to have as lights? x2 Warm Natural lights or x2 White Day lights? I've attached 2 pictures (sorry about the look of the aquarium and the excess light coming from top as I don't have the covers on at the...

All good Dave mine swim together and separately too, don't stress :)

Thanks :) at the moment I have a Black Ghost Knife, Bristlenose, Albino Bristlenose, Peppermint Bristlenose, Ram, Pakistani Loach, Glass Cat and 4 Neon Tetras, want to get more fish and plants in a few weeks though...

I've just done another water test today. PH - 7.2 Amonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nirate - 0 GH - 8 drops - 143.2ppm KH - 2 drops - 35.8ppm I tested our tap water, it was a pH of 7.4. Also, I think I got the GH and KH mixed up when writing it above in the original thread... oops :crazy: A bit...

Updated - Just took another photo with the water clear, thought I uploaded it a few days ago but didn't haha.

14 plants (some on driftwood and 2 java moss) just took a pic :) Awesome, thanks! I won't go into it yet as they seem fine apart from like 3 leaves.

Great thanks I'll keep my eye out. How about 'API Leaf Zone' do you know if that is any good? As I've never used ferts before I don't know what I should be looking for etc.. (obviously as you mentioned, no N&P).

I am slightly confused with all this information haha, in my previous tank I had plants on driftwood and they were fine (had them for a year) and now I've bought these new ones to go into my new tank and this is happening. I don't have any airstones just the external filter which is sending a...

They have only been in for around 3 weeks now.. they should be all aquatic, don't aquarium shops only sell plants to go in tanks? lol

Yesterday after I had them on for a solid 8 hours they were so bright and lush! The green looked amazing! Anyway lol, I've attached a few photos and circled in red for quick identification, any help would be great :) Because I want to add more but want to make sure these are doing okay first :)...

I'll take some and upload them tomorrow to this thread :) I'll have to try and get some good pics ahah, thanks for your help so far!

I'm running the 2 separately, usually the day and natural ones for around 3-5 hours and the blue ones for around 1-3 hours. What type of ferts and CO2 would i need?

Size of the tank is 350l (juwel rio 300), 4 foot. x4 54watt T5s, one set of lights has x1 day x1 nature which are on for around 5 or so hours and the other set x2 blue lights for the night.

Hi guys, I've recently upgraded my tank and I've noticed some of the plants leaves are slightly turning a brown colour and breaking off - could this mean I am leaving the T5 lights on too long or not enough? Or do the plants need some sort of fertilizer or something? Any assistance would be...

From my old tank I added in my old plants, driftwood and filter media, I changed my substrate from gravel to sand in my new tank. Hmm I won't use the chemicals as a few people including yourself have said its pretty much useless. The fish I am keeping are listed below in my signature, they seem...

Thanks for the tip about the chemicals :) and nope my substrate is sand, no gravel. I havent removed or added any bogwood or anything for that matter, bit confusing. Hmm, so you don't think I should be worried that for the last year it has been sitting at around 7, 7.2 and now its jumped to 7.6...

Hmm, nope I haven't taken anything out or added anything new either! :blink:

Great thanks :) Hmmm, what type of temp would discus require? Didn't know peacocks were african, thanks for the heads up :)

I just realized, your a Melbournian like me! Haha!! I have a few bristle nose and I want to try feeding them some cucumber! Any tips?

Hmm, well im keeping a community at the moment, neons, bristlenose, ghost knife, ram, glass cat and yoyo loach - my question is though my ph has always been around 7 and 7.2, but just jumped to 7.6, could this be because of uneaten food/waste? Doing the 25% water change and cleaning the bottom...

Hi guys, I've had my upgraded tank running for around a month now, upgraded from 60l to 350l, so far so good! I'm thinking of adding some more fish shortly, however I'm unsure what else to get. I want to get some bright and colourful fish, any suggestions that would go nicely with my current...

Hi guys, My new 350l tank has been running for about 2 weeks and my fish have adjusted quite well which im happy and tankful for! Since then I've done 2 water tests and here are the results. 22/8/12 PH - 7.0/7.2 (was slightly hard to tell) Amonia - 0.25 Nitrite - 0 Nirate - 0 GH - 3 drops -...

this is adorable LOL

I'll check that too :) thanks!

I'll give that a try too, thanks :)

Thanks for that, with the impeller, do I actually remove the little spinning bit inside? I dont want to break it haha

I've just upgraded to the Juwel Rio 300 and I couldn't be happier! Everything was very easy and simple to set up and it comes with a 3year warranty which is awesome, plus its German built (unsure about Aqua One), and I've had a Juwel in the past with no issues what so ever. Take a look at my...

Hi everyone, I recently purchased my Fluval 406 external filter for my new tank, all good expect it's making quite an uncomfortable rattling noise, I've checked all compartments to make sure nothing was loose, nothing is leaning against the unit to make that noise and I've even tried putting a...

Hahahaha!! Look at us getting depresso over the look of a mostly hidden filter :P #FirstWorldProblems LOL!

Thanks :)

Thanks :) yep I'm pretty sure it is, I picked a few different ones and forgot to write down the names :blink: ohhh are you serious about the moss? :unsure: that's upsetting LOL!! Most of the fish were hiding when I took the photo as I just put them in - I have a ghost knife, glass cat, neon...

Thats awesome :) well, I'm sure the FX5 will be hidden away in the cabinet i assume? So dont worry, you wouldn't have to look at them much :P

PROGRESS Day 5 Today I went out and bought my plants and rock, I also purchased some mesh and fishing wire so I can grow my moss :) I put my plants in and my rock, followed by the driftwood from my previous tank, I then removed the filter media from my old filter and put it in my new one...
