good choice . Cardinals are a fantastic fish, especially if you go down the planted tank route. A shoal of them would look fantastic. Your tank's about 24 UK gal. Recommended stocking levels are up to 1" (2.5 cm) per gal (possibly up to 2" per gal depending on type of fish, filtration...

:blush: didn't know what you were going on about before, but just seen that there IS a 'computer zone' under general hobbies. I missed it at first glance on the home page. Sorry - I'll get out of your faces now.

:lol: :lol: :lol: thanks SLiSH & DiscusLova - cut a guy a little slack - it is to post up pictures of my fish tanks after all :lol:

Thanks - not much use to a dunce like me :lol: - looks like a good peak in the green/blue part of the spectrum, which should be good. I'm going to give the 9w a go anyway. I'll set up a journal and then people can see how I get on.

yaeh, mollies tend to prefer harder water, angels softer water. But if they're tank bred then they'll be happy in a wider range of water hardness. If they're healthy and you like them, that's all that matters. Sounds good - have you got any pics?? :D

Heh, nice informative piccies there george. Is this another project for PFK? I'm watching with real interest - got a 20x20x20 cm cube sat right infront of me on my desk ready to go. Just the small problem of a Rio 240 that I started 2 weeks ago to get through first :D (more later in this...

Ok, an emergency of sorts :D Can anyone recommend an image hosting site, so I can can upload photos to forums that won't accept images from your hard drive? No rush, but in the next 5 mins would be good (nned to sleep!) :D :D :D

and this is supposed to be a family forum :lol: :lol:

sounds interesting - have you got any links to these?

here you go Measuring CO2 levels in a Planted Tank with those kh and ph levels, you've got about 7.5 ppm of CO2. How much you need will depend on how many plants you've got, how much light, etc., but the article goes into this in more detail. (ps Nice soupy water you've got there - our tap...

You've probably answered your own question :D as far as i'm aware all Aponogeton sp. are med-fast growers with heavy demands on substrate nutrients. Possible that the sword just couldn't compete and obtain enough nutrients. Diana Walstead has a chapter on this in her book Ecology of the...

Moody & Mr G - hey thanks guys for the detailed posts :thanks: . I'm jst finishing off a late day at work :angry: but I'll have a look through your journals tomorrow thanks again

Welcome to TFF :hi: Looking forward to seeing those pics :good:

Yeah, know the feeling with my 20 gall :lol: Seriously, fantastic to see what goes into producing a tank on this scale - thanks for sharing.

Hi, a few questions for those running planted nano cubes - hope you can help based on your experiences :D : those of you in the UK, where did you get your cubes from? I'm looking for a cheaper alternative to the Tropica Aquacube but can't find anything suitable at the LFS or trawling the...

cheers, I hope so :lol: I'll post some pictures of my old set-ups (broken down almost a year ago now cos of a house move) at the weekend

Hi, I saw a link to this forum in GF's Practical Fishkeeping article on planted tanks, so I thought I'd drop in to say hello and see what you're all up to. I've only got dry tanks right now :( , but hope to get them wet again once the DIY in the new house is under control. In the past...
