that’s me officially broken down my scape and starting something new. Was getting far too overgrown and becoming more n move heavily stocked as my cories bred. The cories and rasbora have now been moved to my big 50gal tank and are much happier. (The rasbora just used to stay in the same place...

Aww awesome hah! That was exactly it - that being blasted from one side to the other. I was like oh god it that too much for them? But then they consciously go back and do it again 😂 I do feel it’s probably too much for Pearl gourami though which I had planned to add aswell.

Thanks for the replies guys sorry for the late reply to your posts! They have since settled and definitely seem to be liking the flow so my initial panic was just that haha. Thanks again!

Hey guys, moved my peppered cories to their new larger tank as the first inhabitants. They’re glass surfing a lot which I’m putting down to it being a new space for them and they now have a lot more of it compared to their previous shallow tank. But I’m just alittle concerned the flows abit much...

Plants are officially in! Can’t wait for them to be established. Lots of stem plants in the back corners of the tank that should hopefully start shooting up couple weeks and I’ll start stocking the tank

Hardscape officially finished for my new 180 litre long tank. 40L of soil, 18kg of rock, 6 big pieces of river wood and 5l riverbed sand and gravel. Finally filled the tank and hooked up my APS 1400 external filter. The flow rate does look pretty quick to me but hopefully it should be ok for...

thanks guys! Il try that! Maybe be able to cull some of the lower grade ones off by selling them.

As the title suggests, my rcs colony has exploded exponentially in my 15gal long tank. From just a light count I have atleast 80 shrimp in there ranging from mature, juvenile and baby shrimp The stocking for the tank is 12 harlequin rasbora, 9 peppered Cory, and a nerite snail. they are doing...

No that’s perfect thanks, I just wanted to clarify if you meant both, or one or the other. Tbh I totally get what you mean. Think maybe I get abit too number focused sometimes because I am relatively new to the hobby and don’t want to make any colossal errors haha. But what my stocking currently...

thanks so much for your help and advice Byron ?? that’s great to know I can add even bigger schools of them, I try to stay on the side of caution when it’s a new tank size as I didn’t want to come out with a number that sounded ridiculously overstocked. But the more I can add, without...

to be honest, that sounds exactly like what I envisioned. I love cories and so knowing I could increase their numbers is awesome too. And with them being bottom dwellers I’d rather have a fish that uses the mid/upper levels like the Pearl gouramis more than some other lower level centrepiece...

Aw thanks essjay, figured out it’s the external dimensions that they’ve quoted, taking off 12mm off each dimension for the thickness of the 6mm glass gives 182. So that makes sense

That tank sounds like an amazing busy one! great to know I’m on the right train of thought for what I can stock - and that it works well for the fish too thanks for your advice! Oh really? I’m just taking it from the dimensions on the site and it’s claim that it’s 182 ? that’s odd! Maybe the dim...

Thankyou! I hadn’t thought of apistos so i will definitely have a look into those!

hey guys! Have been eyeing up a new tank for awhile, since I feel my 15gal is starting to get alittle crowded with my cories breeding from time to time (I’m now up 3 juveniles) so I was thinking of getting a 2nd and much larger main tank saw this aqua one 182L long tank, dimensions - 122cm x...

that is a perfect idea thanks guys! Il source some kind of dolly on wheels so I can carefully move it to the other room! Why didn’t I think of that ? I’ve also ordered a 50l storage/bucket so I can put most of the water in too. I usually do around 30% water change so if I’m using the same water...

Thanks for all the help guys, here’s an image of my tank currently. It’s set on top of a sideboard unit. Ideally removing most the water and sliding it over to the new unit would be the easiest thing to do but just with getting new flooring laid down it’s be a nightmare to work that. but that’s...

Hey guys as the title suggests I’m going to be decorating my living room soon, but have been putting it off because I don’t know best how to move my 15gal long. I’m getting a new floor and the room painted so it needs to be fully removed from the room and put in my office. But.. it will...

Wee update, I’ve recently had an explosion of baby rcs in the tank, counted at least 12 juvenile shrimp which brings the total rcs in the tank to at least 22 with potentially more? I know the bioload for shrimp is low but would you think this many extra in the tank would make a big...

Thanks! Oh yeh those three were a total shock ahhaa! I didn’t even know they had bred and one day I just saw one swimming about! And since then another two haha ?

Haha exactly! I don’t even watch the tv, I can get rid ??

Thankyou! I am super tempted haha, I just don’t have the biggest flat so finding a place for a 2nd tank of equal or bigger size is kinda difficult But I guess I have some time until the juvenile cories get larger and work out a solution haha

Hey guys I have this 15gal long tank, heavily planted and heavily stocked. I’ve known it’s heavily stocked but water parameters are stable and I do regular water changes. Water is soft and slightly acidic. Stocked with 12 harlequin rasbora 6 peppered corys 4 amano shrimp 10 cherry shrimp 1...

Here’s the finished scape! Hope you guys like it - thanks again for your help!

So I have finally completed my bettas 5gal setup. Adding the final touches today. Really happy with how it looks, plenty of hiding places and plenty of plants that should hopefully grow quite nicely. inhabients : just the single koi Betta for now. Was Tempted to add some RCS, but the betta was...

Thanks for all the helps guys, closer inspection shows it has no rhizome just a very condensed amount of roots, and after Abaddom suggested it was a type of sword I looked up more Echinodorus, and found that it most resembles one called “ozelot green” So into the substrate it goes! I am...

thanks I just don’t know whether it belongs planted in the substrate or attached to surfaces. Issue I guess is, if I choose incorrectly it will die

got this plant as part of a random selection the other day. No info was with it so not sure how/where is best to plant it or it’s requirements to thrive. As you can see one of the leaves has already started to melt alittle Any help would be great!
