What are the floating plants in this pic?

I use a 20ltr plastic jerry can, fill it up in the shower (shower head can be taken down and i just put a funnel in to get the water into the can.) Screw the cap back on and take it through the house to the fish tank, no mess. It also came with a pour spout so i put that on when pouring it back...

The filter is pushing the water wysteria i have floating to the other end of the tank, we don't get any good floating plants in my country, only duckweed which i'm not putting in lol I'll try moving some ambulia closer to it to get pushed over and give it some shelter. I'll keep a eye on the...

Hmm thanks, i might try some electrical tape over the LED's above it.

Hi All, I have just finished setting up my new tank, it is a Juwel 240 with the factory Day and Nature light bulbs. I have moved all my plants across for the old tank which was a tall one. I have just noticed some black spots on one of my Java ferns. I detached it from its existing wood to...

Thank you :)

Hows it going now?

Is there any way to edit the title so it now says 240ltr and 150ltr builds? Any maybe move it to the planted journals area now :)

So i got a Juwel 240 and pulled down the 180ltr, have been transferring alot of the plants across. I want to get a bigger Sword plant for the back right as the one i got hasn't done much in the 3 months i had it in the old tank. I got some Aponogeton undulatus for the back left but the courier...

Going to continue this in my journal thread now.

It's already been sitting in water and sunk within a week so hopefully that ok. Yeah I need to look into the v rule more. Here a pic with it on its side

I think it's a bit wide so looking at screwing some pieces together maybe

ok. Got the back painted black and internal filter removed now

Yeah i know what you mean about the reflection, i'm just getting it ready in the garage right now and thought id take a few pics as i headed out the door. I'll get the black paint and post up in a week or two haha.

It was dead and a hardwood of some sort.

Oh, i also plan to have a school of smaller fish, rasporas or something. The tank is a Rio240 for scale.

I've just bought a new tank :) going from a 180ltr tall to a 240ltr wide as i want to go down a scaping route and have a nice school of corys. The tank has arrived and i've setup the cabinet. I cut down a tree in the back yard that i've been waiting to cut down for this very project. I've...

Moving some stuff around in the bigger one, thought i'd try my hand at some crypts and a sword plant. Have moved the stones forward a bit and the wood to the right to put a sword in the back right and crypt at the left . Sword is still on its way. At the same time i saw a 2nd hand Juwel 240ltr...

What size gravel is a good size for them? I'm looking at getting one and some crypts. Just checking if I should be buying some finer gravel for those parts of the tank.

Yeah I've seen people say that but they have heavier planted tanks, I just wanted to check since I'm still getting my plant stock up. Looks like i'll stop vacuuming around where I'm going to put the new plants.

I'll stick with the ramhorns for now, they have been a great cleanup crew. Ok i won't vacuum the gravel as much moving forwards. I've started up a sand based tank (150Ltr wide) and slowly been working out vacuuming the sand, it sounds like i might be taking too much poop out though haha.

Thanks for the tip, hmm maybe set the sword up in the right where the stones are and do something else with them do you think? Theres not too much detritus as the tank when I do a change as it is still relatively lightly stocked, 1 shy 3 spot gourarmi and 15 or so guppies. I use API leaf zone...

Cool thanks, yeah i knew the java ferns and anubias weren't stem plants but didn't make that very clear in my first post. Ok cool, i'll keep vacuuming the front and right of the tank and leave the rest for the root plants

Hi All, I'm not happy with my tank and want to add some root plants (Amazon Sword and some crypts (im thinking one Petchii and one wendtii.) The other plants in the tank are all stem plants, java ferns and anubus so I have been vacuuming the gravel each week when I do water changes. After I put...
