Could someone point me in the right direction of where I can buy ferts from. gf225 recommended that I use Tom Barr's Estimative Index but I can't seem to find any infomation about that. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Darren

I like the sound of this!!! - over to the planted section...

What ferts would you recommend (not forgetting that I'm using flourite)?

Yes this is because I'm tight (if they are only on one side I only need one light on). I'm experimenting with the plants at the moment. I dont really know what is what and how well things will grow with the conditions I have. I bought a variaty of differnt plants to play with. They have been in...

with gravel, water and lights. These are the original lamps that came with the units. They do not have to correct colour, these will be changed!

Hi all I would like to post you some images of my new planted tank. I was set up on 9th July. The tank was originally supposed to be a marine tank but after collecting all the equipment together we decided to move house. I can no longer afford to stock a marine tank (as I would like to) so I...

Would I be better not using my sump at all and getting a canister filter instead so I don't get any CO2 loss?

Hi if you are in the UK you can go to places like arnold laver or b&q and you can buy mdf with "ribs" in one side so you can bend it. Just make sure that the MDF is treated before you use it. Doesn't mix well with water. BENDY MDF Cheers Darren

Hi all I've decided that I will try out my 400w metal halide lamps but swap the bulbs for 400w Iwasaki 6,500k. I will let you all know how I get on with this. I will probably be buying the bulbs from http://www.marine-lighting.co.uk/ Where can I buy substrate heating cables from at a decent...

Just wondering if anyone had attempted to DIY a undergravel heating cable??? Darren

Thanks for the replys! my tank holds (5x2x2.5x6.23) + (3x1.5x1.5x6.23) = 155.75 + 42 = 197 Gallons 197x3 = 591Watts Looks like I need 2x250w metal halide lamps... I don't think the lights are going to be a problem really. I'm sure someone with a set of 250w lamps will be more than happy to...

Hi all this is my first thread!!! I currently have a 5x2x2.5 (2.5tall) and was going to set it up as a marine tank. Fortunately/Unfortunately (depending on how you guys look at it) I will not be able to afford to stock it as I am moving to a bigger house so I'll be skint! My question what...
