I don't see it either but i was kind of like that kid from the sixth sense when i was younger, even had mediums round to help :lol:. Freaked my girlfriend out few weeks ago when i asked for a spirit to give me a sign and the light bulb went so nuts it burnt out black :fun:

:angry: Lmfao. Sweet CO2 rig, going to re-do mine tomorrow just like that :good: The amount of sugar i've wasted lately means i'm going to have to cut down on the coffee though :X Where is your drip loop to all them plug sockets? you like living dangerously? :lol:

Can't put nothing in that'll scare the girlfriend as the tank is right next to the bed :lol: Pink snails could win her over though :fun: Alright, gonna do some price checks with my LFS on a few plecs :look:

I've actually been looking into that Seachem Purigen, recharging part looks like it's going to mess with my head though. You're going to get spammed with questions when i get some :* hahaa! Any kind of snails that would work? :fun:

too far away mate :sad: Looked into diatoms last scape and most said it'd eventually go away, it just destroyed my tank though :unsure: Anything that i can do myself to maybe get rid of it? My '4th' panda cory from my hospital tank isn't looking good :sad:, if i drop to 3 cory it'll be rehome...

LOL :lol:, If my apisto breed you're welcome to come and get some fry and drop off an L182 :P Here's the algae problem, must be something i'm doing wrong as it's come back once again :sly: Lights on for roughly 6 hours, next to no sun light hits the tank.

:blink: thought leaving my filters for 2 maybe 3 months was long enough lol. my filters get a quick sponge clean every 1-2months, good clean every 5-7months though. I'll cut back on the feeding and up the water changes during that good clean too.

You're right, can't see a difference :lol: but it does look good :good: Really interested in trying some Lilaeopsis Novaezlandiae, not sure it'll do well without any ferts though? :lol: Why cant aquarium plants just have simple names, how do i even ask my LFS for these if i can't even say...

Agree with this, minnnt went on about the tetratec externals so much that i bought the ex700 for my 90L just to see why. The Fluval U3 is a good internal filter but once you go external you'll never go back :lol:

Seen a few people joining the two bottles with a T piece so thought it must work, saved messing around drilling more holes too. Going to remake it like you've just mentioned though, if it doesn't work then i'm going to rage quit :lol: I've got some annoying brown algae growing all over my...

If the oscar is staying in the top corner of the tank then i'd class that as serious yes, either remove the oscar or try removing the jack for a few days or even weeks until the oscar claims some of the tank back, this doesn't always work though. Oscar will need about 75g long term though. The...

:grr: If i had the money i'd of bought the real deal by now, sick of playing with plastic bottles :lol: Going to remake it without the T piece connecting the 2 bottles as that's where i got my leak. I'm holding back on the plec for now, going to check my green terrors attitude after his tank...

55gal long term is going to be too small to hold both jack and oscar, it'll hold the jack alone though but only just IMO. The guppy will become food for both of these fish, not a clue with turtle but i'm going to guess that doesn't work either. They could just be fighting for dominance but if...

Panda cory from the hospital tank is now back in, still looking a little rough but infection seems to have gone. Managed to get 1 bottle of CO2 working but seems i'm going to have to remake the thing for 3rd time due to leaks :grr: The girlfriend managed to get a pretty awesome picture of the...

Think the only reason people really recommend 1 watt per litre is if the heater was to go faulty they tend to stay on and if it's more watts then needed the water would heat a lot faster, giving you no time to notice. I personally run a 50watt heater in a 11L hospital tank with no problems but...

:crazy: forgot to switch my filter back on a few times, guess my powerhead pointing at the surface has saved me. Better point it back at the surface :lol:

Looking good hun, will have to give it another read once the morning coffee kicks into place though, some of the plant names just messed my head up :lol: You should try some Alternanthera Rosaefolia, there's some pictures in my 90L journal but it needs to re-grow. Quality plant behind a bunch...

This might of changed since i got mine but check amazon, new roughly £25.99 + £2.98 UK delivery? So second hand, normally just less then half? but as they're hard to break i'd prob say halfish :lol:

Electric blue jack terror? :drool:

....facepalm :lol:, I must have poop camera or camera settings :sad: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS9 is camera. Mate your poor plants don't even get time to root before you're moving them again :blink: Swap my male krib for your starlight :good:

Agree with ShinySideUp, i used a bag of carbon little while back as it came with a filter and it did clean the tannin pretty nice for a week or 2 anyway then back to brown :lol:

Now down to 10 cardinal as i've just seen my female apisto swimming around with half a cardinal in her mouth :crazy: Not sure if she attacked it or it died and she's just munched it. Will be ordering some plants shortly as i finished re-making my DIY CO2 today, running two 2 litre bottles now...

The temp changed so quick too, my 20g shot from 24c to 32-34c in no time a little while back. 55g didn't move at all, stuck his ground like a baws :lol:

Think most people will have done the adding fish to the uncycled tank part, including me. When i first started out fish keeping i had so many different cichlid in my 55g that it kills me to think what would of happened if i didn't sign up here. 3 green terror (2f 1m), festivum, oscar, severum...

The camera used to take the pictures doesn't look very budget though, this is clearly giving you an unfair advantage :lol: Rio 180, didn't want to say this but that's one of the best tanks i've seen in a long time :grr: lol.

I find vinyl slightly easier tbh maybe just when i'm drunk though, peter c might remember a few of my messy events using CDJs after abit to much booze :lol:. It's all about serato scratch live, midi controllers and USB now adays though :good: 13 years and he's still a lowbob :fun:.

Should of just got myself a BN :angry: LOL L072 Peckoltia SP (3.9") L099 Peckoltia SP (3.9") L134 Peckoltia SP :wub: Didn't read up on them yet but :drool:, maybe little small for a GT though? I'm going to phone my internet service provider and get myself banned from planet catfish too :nod: .

+1, you could try adding it back in after a good few days or even a week.

Lol thanks, shame it doesn't look like that anymore. Most of it is stored away and the desk is soon to be demolished :sad: Plan on turning that into a PC desk and try to fit atleast the CDJs into it, then can get myself another tank for the other wall B-)

I've got a nice collection of letters, next is court :lol:

Tank is looking good mate, if you ever get rid of that tank put me first on the list :good: lol Agree with minnnters on the overhead light unit but i'd leave that for future upgrades when you go high tech planted ;) The red plant looks like alternanthera rosaefolia, maidenhead aquatics @...

This was next to my fish tank for years, no problems at all. If an airstone can bubble away like mad with a constant annoying noise, pretty sure music would be okay lol.

WHUT? just from the co2?

MARMITE!

LOL that made me actually laugh :lol:. It's worth a try if you can be bothered with the hassle of playing cupid, although if they don't get along and you've gotta move 1 then good luck trying to catch them without destroying your tank :lol: .

^ fixed it for you, thanks :good:

I know where i'm going when my bottle runs out ;)

Aww shame :sad: i've never had much luck with fry either, gonna give it a proper go if my apisto pair up though. You could try another female but keep an eye on them, my male turned into a right monster when his other half died.

Guess i've not seen that discus before then :lol: Still very nice pictures :good:

No liquid CO2 for me then, just stripped down the tank and power washed it outside few week ago due to algae :sad: What happened with your krib kids btw? Did they ever get munched? :P
