Yeah that's the one. Ok that's cool thanks. I just saw a few videos where they basically put the airstone in it n fed the tubing through. Thanks!

Oh everywhere I looked for research said to put one inside to make the bubbles smaller and quieter. I bought an aquaone 60

So I purchased my sponge filter and an airpump and fixed the airstone inside the filter! Woo! I know these are much mor gentle than power filters, so i can't see a great deal of flow but.. It also came with a 2nd length of tubing and 2nd airstone. Would this be beneficial to add to the...

Thanks so much!

Perfect thanks!

Hey guys, me again I currently have an Interpret pf2 for my 15gal planted long tank that's stocked with amano shrimp, rasbora, Cory's and a single female betta. But starting to think the flow is alittle too much particularly for my Betta, plus is an absolute pain to clean. I've not much...

I bought 5 Amaro shrimp when I first set up my tank, and one has always been alot bigger than the others. I put this down to it being a female. It also doesn't seem to do much cleaning like the others do. It basically steals a pellet of food and sit on a rock munching away. But after looking at...

Well lockdown has stopped me from adding more shrimp but man have the plants grown. My java fern is really filling out now since getting rid of the floating plants. But the fish seem perfectly happy without. Still struggling with my hairgrass as it just doesn't seem to want to carpet, but il...

The roots never got more than maybe a couple of cm tbh, before they split up into smaller plants and then turned brown or fell into the water column.

The lights on a 24 hour timer with dusk and dawn settings, but the bright light is from around 11am-3pm and then it'll start getting dim. The flow is probably alittle more than I wanted, but being a long tank I had to get a more powerful filter to reach the full length of the tank, but not so...

Yeh I liked the look of it and it grows super quick like you say so that's why I initially decided on it, plus the roots aren't super long which is good for my shallow tank. I was just so sick of it getting battered about, so until I can source some way to stop it going everywhere I've decided...

I do like the look of that and that it can grow up the driftwood too. Might try source some of that to try once this lockdown is eased alittle Thanks!

Perfect thanks so much, il maybe look into getting some of the more substantial plants then. It's good to know that Salvinia has periods like that. I was assuming I had done something wrong and that's why it was dying off.

Thanks so much guys for all the love on the tank! Really glad you like it!

My tank looks like this which is why I went against getting a lid, I liked the exposed wood. Il look into adding some tubing to stop then being blown about as much, altho I did have some and it didn't do much good. but if there's no other way to stop the salvania getting destroyed constantly il...

Hey guys, I have a 60l long, shallow and open top tank. I have harlequin rasboras and Cory's in my tank and as I've no top, floating plants as far as I've researched are kind of a must to make the fish feel at ease. At the moment I have some floating sal, but I am forever finding it melting away...

Sorry for the late reply to this thread, with everything going on just now I haven't been on social media or online much. Another month on and the tank is still filling out nicely. Alittle issue of bga starting to flair up on only the floating plants, so I'm going to limit the amount of fert I...

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. I went with a female koi Betta for the final fish, so she kinda goes with the Asian theme too.

Oh sorry, It's a 60L long. 80cm in length

One month on! Tank fully stocked now - don't think there's room for anything else anyway - but correct me if I'm wrong! A few more shrimp or a snail possibly? Stocked with 5 amano shrimp, 6 peppered cories. 9 harlequin rasbora and a single female koi Betta, who is the most chilled one in the...

One month on! Tank fully stocked now - don't think there's room for anything else anyway! (Correct me if I'm wrong!) I went with 5 amano shrimp, 6 peppered cories. 10 harlequin rasbora a and single female koi Betta, who is the most chilled one in the tank haha! Not phased or bothered by any of...

Thanks so much everyone!

Ahh ok thanks so much for your help! Any tips for cleaning a sand substrate more effectively?

Hope that helps!

Any ideas on what this could be. Only affecting the left eye. Almost looks like something is stuck on her eye. Thought maybe it's cloudy eye but thought that effected inside the eye rather than being on the outside

March 2020 TFF TOTM Hey guys, this is my first ever tank as I'm new to the hobby. About a month old, its a 60l long tank, 80cm in length. Heavily planted from day one with Bacopa, Java Fern, willow moss, Hair Grass, Sag and some floating Sal. Sand and aquarium soil substrate. Three pieces of...
