As promised, gotta new layout which still needs a lot of tweaking with the plants and the slate a little bit but its the best I think I've had it so far. Not sure whether to build the right hand side up a little bit more with some of the little bits of slate and see if I can do it without it...

Thanks for the comments again guys. As always its nice to see people following me as I blunder my way through the world of fishkeeping! The tank layout is going to be changed about a bit again tonight when I get a bit of time. The main thing that I think needs to be changed in the tank at the...

Well, Ive changed the layout a bit and not overly happy with it so pictures are only going up so that I can have recommendations. It doesn't look great and this will not be the final layout! I think half the problem is that I do like the slate in the tank and need to find a way of making it...

The tank looks really eye catching with a nice mixture of colours which seems to compliment it really well. As Biulu stated, would be nice to see this turned into a journal to give us a little more information. I'm currently doing a journal on my 240l and its quite nice just to have feedback...

Yeah, that makes sense and I'm not really 100% sure what the outcome is going to be. The one definite is that there will not be as much slate in there when the Bogwood goes in. Given the size of it there physically wouldn't be enough room in my tank! Chances are it'll take me quite a few...

Thought Id have another little mini update just to show that I am still about! Not a lot has happened since my last post, its just a case of adding more ammonia everyday to make sure that i keep my bacteria going. But, on the bright side, the ammonia and nitrites are still clearing like they...

Finally the news Ive been waiting for!! Have just done my water test and in 24 hours my nitrite test came out blue and my ammonia test yellow meaning both are at yellow. The plan is now to sit it out for a week and keep adding more ammonia just to make sure that nothing can go wrong. I might...

Its sitting outside in my bright pink 10Gal bucket at the moment lol. Ive pured boiling water over it and filled up the bucket twice now so it has been soaking in hot water. The tannins are now slowly leaking a lil less which is good - will be done before my tank is cycled which is a bonus as...

Thanks for the feedback so far guys (and Ace). The big piece of slate isnt going to be an issue because as soon as my Bogwood is soaked it will be coming out altogether or getting smashed into smaller bits to stack up as Ace suggested earlier. As far as my cycle is going, the ammonia seems to...

After convincing myself that I was actually smashing the slate about for the good of the tank and not just because it would be good fun I went out and smashed the biggest piece of slate in the hope that it would come out somehow like I wanted it. The one advantage of slate is that with the...

Hey. Starting this journal a bit later than I had hoped for as my tank has currently been cycling for a little over 2 weeks now. Unfortunately, my camera was with someone else until now so couldn't really be as detailed as I would have liked to have been with the original setting up pictures...
