Help needed with stocking!! Right guys need some help with stocking been down the lfs not seen anything that stands out anybody got any suggestion?

That's a massive difference in your tank from old to new, looks great. That's sucks about your filter do you know what happend with it.. That's a bit crappy with the heater hopefully not much damage has been done.

Thanks for all the good messages,help and input really pleased with it. :). It's the first tank that has actually turned out how I wanted it too. It looks like what I had I my head. There is still some more to do everything has settled down now and nothing has shifted which is good! Now...

Tank is looking good. I want a shrimp tank too hope she will say yes. Fingers crossed for second journal.

Yes I will be at the moment I'm using the jbl ferts that I got with the c02 as I'm not sure what ones are best at the moment if you can help at all on that?

Brilliant thread. Tank is looking great. Love the idea with the clay! Keep up the good work.

The pictures are not very clear crap camera and the water is a bit dirty. But all in all it has stayed together . Since these pics I have widened the stones at the front and put a bend in at the back to help give it some depth ( thanks rak9378 ) I have also set up a c02 system to help with growth

Thanks for all the input guys. I have it filled must have been the slowest fill up in history as I didn't want to disturb anything. Pics will follow there's still some bits to play around with and get my river in the middle more defined and curved. Thanks for the heads up on the gravel...

Welcome from Southampton aswell. I would have gone the dragon route personally I'm sure you can get them somewhere.

Lol I might be back but doesnt mean I know much more. Welcome yourself and this forum is really good lots of help here.

Thank you kind sir! I have the ar620. The 90 litre thanks for the help. I definatly agree with you about the order of the filters it's just been setup tonite the way they say but the water isn't even touching the plastic tray in the second compartment so I will put that on the bottom like you...

Think I have my final design now I have started to plant it up got the fertiliser in and a sand bed on top once all plants have grown most of the sand will be covered apart rom the middle section.. Let me know what you think and input welcome.

I agree with you allydawn17 I think I have my final one now I've gone with the second but with a few small alterations. Hopefully you will be able to see what I'm try on to achieve. What I had in my head was a river with the river banks either side I know you can never recreate nature...

Another 3 options

A couple more ideas.

Definatly be following this!

I use a few the main ones are aquajardin on allington lane I find them best for plants always in good condition and plenty of stock and a good selection of fish. Maidenhead aquatics in fair oak are good for fish but there plant selection isn't great. Also tropical paradise in Eastleigh behind...

Thanks for all the input all welcome and helpfull. I'm not sure of the fish as yet but part of the deal of me getting the tank was upgrading what was in my sons room he's only 11 months old so it's obviously for me. So the fish in there have to go into this one. There is 4 neons and 4 guppies...

Hello and welcome everyone. I've got an aquaone 620t and just in the process of setting it up. I have had tropical before but got carried away and just threw bits in overstocked my tank and generally didn't know what I was doing. Well hopefully it will be different this time. I currently have...

That's brilliant thank you! I think I will try the tank diffuser as I can get one at my local pet store at a Reasonable price I'll see how that goes if not try the inline atomiser! Want to try to avoid cutting pipes if I can took me ages to get them all tidy! Iol . Thanks again for the help!

My tank is 240l and I have an aquamanta efx 200 external pump its a passive reactor almost like a spiral staircase and the bubbles travel up it in a spiral. But as I'm observing it the bubbles don't seem to dissolve I know they won't completely disappear but was just wondering if there was a...

Hi can anyone help I have just brought a jbl co2 kit but I have been reading the co2 diffuser isn't the best. Can anyone recommend a different one that is better!

Welcome I'm relatively new to this site too and to keeping fish but it has turned into an obsession! So far this site has been brilliant and everyone has been so helpful .

Yes it's a liquid test. So far so good on ammonia and nitrate, I think I will get rid of the fish of the smaller groups if I can find a good home for them so I can have bigger schools for the other fish. I have a lot of low planting so I might introduce some bigger plants to create more hiding...

Thanks for the info as I said I was guided by a general pet store so they didn't tell me anything about schooling or much at all so all advice is welcome! I really would like to get the the numbers up so I can I have groups of 6+ just don't want to overstock it ! I'm keeping a close eye on my...
