i've made no changes since last update as I've had exams, hope to get the plants ordered as soon as exams finish, the pleco however has covered the black gravel on the back right hand side with brown and now seems happy with the layout as he's stopped re arranging everything!

here's my entry, Marble Angel called Norman   Entry below

i was thinking a 'lawn' effect using Eleocharis mini on the brown substrate, some moss on the slate and some mid ground plants (crypts maybe) along the walls, taller background plants to hide the heater and filter pipe thing ( maybe some amazon sword with vallis along the back....

glued 'wall' and added another, bigger plastic plant to get an idea.....  hope pleco wont disassemble any of the other structures (should be difficult as i've glued most of them)....:) need to get some sort of black vinyl i think to put as a background....

I used araldite epoxy resin on the arch and cave and that has worked really well so i'm going to use that to stick the 'walls' together, i was wondering whether the elecharis mini i'm planning on planting on the brown substrate will keep it all in place.... thanks again Dan

thanks guys, great help :) i've been away for 3 days to find that the fish or flow (presume the pleco from sadguppie's comment) have re arranged the tank :( superglue needed i think....

Hi, thanks for the replies :) I have read the fishless cycling thread but don't know where to find ammonia :s so instead I did a water change and filled it with water from an old tank (already cycled) that has fish in. i also moved half the filter media from that tank into the new tank and let...

Hi i have a new 90 liter fluval roma aquarium, i have added 5 liters of colombo flora base and don't know what to do next. i would ideally like to create a planted aquascape but never done anything like it so need some advice, tips and ideas. it has an aquamanta efx 300 which has a maximum 1100...

thanks and nah i need all the advice i can get :) any ideas where i could re home the pleco? i'll be getting a standard rectangular 90 liter (unsure of exact dimentions) dont think the lighting is good enough in the 60 for planting but i might plant the 90 instead any ideas?

I am buying a new 90 liter tank as an upgrade as some of my fish have out grown their old 60 liter... I have a plec, angel krib and 2 guppies and was thinking of leaving the guppies and krib in the 60 and moving the other 2 into the 90 liter, then i was thinking of planting the smaller tank and...

yeah i'm getting another tank 90 liter, leaving the krib and guppies in the 60, might add tetras to that as well, and then move the plec and angel to the 90. thanks so much :)

thank you very much for the advice :)

I think it was the temperature as i plugged the heater in (don't know why or how it was unplugged). I have read about the pleco before and think its probably best to re-home him at some point but i don't know where :( he's only small at the moment but i dont want to cause him any harm :) i will...

hi i have the same problem dont know what plant to get so will be watching this one :) i have a T8 cool white crompton bulb that is 4000k not sure what it is or the unit but only know that it refers to the brightness/light given off. it should say on the bulb the level of light it gives off :)

Request Help Tank size:60 liter pH:6.5 ammonia: dont know nitrite:dont know kH: gH: dont know tank temp:24 degrees dropped from 27 Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior):the fish has no changes in appearance but it is just behaving erratically...

Hi all, just posting to say that I have put the arch in the tank after letting it set and the fish seem to be happy with it, has been in a few hours and there has been no change in the fish' behaviour so presume all good :) will post if any dramatic changes :) And I did research silicone but...

building new tank ornaments on a budget and I've made an arch out of bits of broken roof slate (about 2in diameter discs) and glued them together using Araldite epoxy resin, I've read a bit about this and apparently its safe to use (if anyone knows of any bad things please tell me). The bits of...

if its anything like the epoxy resin that I've used then its pretty tough stuff and wont be easy to get off, don't know about this specific brand of resin but Araldite (the one I've used) once its gone off is rock hard. 

well i'm no expert but i have a Kribensis in a tank with an angel fish, 2 guppies and a Plecostamus, and he's fine with them :)
