Brilliant information, thanks 👍 I have read the guide on here but didn't pick that up (although I know it's there) so really glad you said it specifically. I bought a light that has good reviews from planted aquarium owners on Amazon so hoping I should be good to go for stem plants then-heading...

Just this morning ordered a diversa 54l 60x30x30 aquarium only 😊 Liked the flex but the square shape seems to place limits on what you can have happily living in it and I wanted as many options as possible since it's not going to be my choice. Decided on that rather than the ciano because I...

Got the gorilla one on the way, that's a great tip, thank you! So is it easier just to stick with non-stem plants then? And will stem plants be OK in sand? Didn't know growing from bulbs is an option! Is it recomended or easier just to buy some plants that are already growing? So many questions...

Thank you and how exciting!

Oh brilliant about the sand! I've been scratching my head over all the options for substrates 😄 And that should be OK for the easier plants like Java fern and anubias? Any floating plants you can recommend? Really keen on them for the natural look anyway. Will that be OK with a sponge filter...

That violent shrimp sounds like far too much hard work for anyone 😂 Think we'll steer well clear as advised! I looked them up though-very impressive! Yes, fully grown size is a good point! I didn't think of that-thank you 😊 I'd like to keep it moderately stocked so that's something to add into...

It's for his birthday but a bit of a project for both of us-he's nature obsessed so trying to encourage that and avoid the dreaded screen time 😄 I'd love a 20 gallon but for now we're very restricted with space. I've measured though and we can manage a 60l (14 gallon??) on a sturdy sideboard...

I just spotted that and I like the look of it! Started out looking at 20l shrimp tanks and this project is getting bigger and bigger 😂 I'm just thinking of easy plants with low light requirements so sounds like it'll be fine. I like that fact that nearly everything comes included so we can...

Thank you, and I'm sure I will!

Thank you! I do like the look of it, I just wonder if I'd end up spending more on it in the long run to upgrade the lights etc because I'd like lots of plants 🤔 But I do know the shape is more recommended as it gives more swim space. Wondering now whether to just get a bare tank and add my own...

Hi folks Just hoping to set up a small tank with my wee boy to get him bitten by the hobby! 🐠😊 No tanks currently but had a 200l fluval til a few years ago which is still stored in the shed just in case my house magically grows an extra room 😄 Excited to be here anyway. Mostly into fairly low...

Hello there, new to the forum although not a complete newbie to the hobby. Not exactly experienced though so hoping for some wisdom with choosing a tank to set up along with my 5 year old who is fish obsessed! We used to have a 200L fluval which we had to empty a few years ago dye to space...
