Can anyone tell me if this is white spot. I've lost 7 cardinals in a week. Noticed this today. It's not eating and not with the others.

Hi, I have recently broken up my saltwater tank and in the process of setting up a new tropical tank. I have volcanic substrate and aqua soil, I have about 30 plants from aquarium gardens. My levels are going well, Day 7 with water Amm 0, PH 7.4, NO2 0.02, NO3 5, KH 2, GH 7.als I have...

Day 7 now. Levels seem good but now getting this growth on the wood only. Do I need to worry??

I have got 2 bags of JBL volcanic minerals and 2 bags tropica aqua soil. I also have fine sand at the front with small gravel inbetween the rocks and sand, I am not going to co2 dose, but i am looking at seachem flourish to feed the plants. hopefully getting fish in the next few days as soon as...

Water and plants in

Very exciting few days. Tanks arrived and I'm almost 90% done with hardscaping. Still needs something on the right side. Will get something today and then silicone it all in. Still shopping for plants. Any comments to improve it would be good.

ok. This is a quick update.I have now broken down my Marine tank and I am waiting for my new tank to be delivered, Hopefully 10th. Its a Ciano 120 pro emotions. I am going to get rid of the internal filter and use my Ehiem Professional 3, external filter and heater after it has been completely...

Thanks everyone for all the advice. This won't get started till the new year (missus does want the mess at Christmas). So plenty of time for homework and to look. I do like this look of dragonstone 🤔

It says its Slightly hard 7.84

This is where I hay confused, soft/hard water ??? Pardon my ignorance

This is probably a silly question but are there any natural stones that can't be put into a tropical tank?? Just seems there's a lot out there but the fish shops only sell a small selection.

What substrate would you recommend.

there won't be as much sand as in the picture. I just want the effect of a path running thru to the back

The image I've posted is close to what I want but with a lot more plants in and a bit less rock. I was thinking of putting the substrate just in the areas where it will be heavily planted. I do want moss and plants growing on the wood. I will dose with homemade CO2 to help it grow

Other than aquasoil. I was looking at pond soil to pad it out where the plants will be, then a layer of aquasoil to give it all the nutrition. Where there's no plants I was looking at gravel or sand. I was looking at this type of scape

Thanks. What substrate do you recommend. I've heard that playsand from Argos is very good too

CO2 will be DIY to start with (cheap), maybe save up after my birthday for a proper kit

Sorry that made no sense. I have filters lights and heater already. Its just substrate and hardscaping and plants to buy. Fish will follow on later about february time

with selling my fish and rock, that pays for the tank. lights, heater and my filters will have to be sterilized and new filter medium bought. Im after a a tank that people will notice and then on looking closely see the fish

Hi, I am in the process of breaking down my Marine tank that I've had for the past 8 years. The tank is looking tatty and Marine has become so expensive. I have my eye on a Ciano 120 emotions pro tank. I was going to take to built in filter out and use the Eheim external filters I have now. I...
