Thanks I made myself a diy co2 system - i mix 1 teaspoon of yeast (safeways) to a cup of suger and tepid tap water, lasts me about a week. the whole thing is in a 2 litre sprite bottle. can add pics if you want. want to upgrade because i get abit fed up changing out the yeast all the time...

hi, Am no expert but you prob need to add an iron suppliment, I always get rid of any leafs that show signs of melting or damage - i have had snail probs in the past, killed all i could see and cut down on the feed going in. this worked well for me. there are some great pinned pieces of...

Hi folk, Firstly excuse my shocking spelling. I am currently setting up an upgrade from my 55l tank (after it sprung a leak), aiming to keep this updated as i progress as i'm bound to have questions on the way. I am mainley interested in getting my plants well stablished and heathly before i...

wow thanks for the kind words. it did take a while and some of the plants are from the old tank - that plant on the right is Vallis Corkscrew. never had it before does a good job of hiding the filter. matt.

Thanks again water drop. Sorry for the late reply. At the momment i am more interested in getting my plants established, after about a mounth i intend to put some mature filter media in and slowley add fish. The hard scape is bog wood from my prevoius tank. here is picture of my tank with my...

If your not smiling your doing it wrong.

Just Bought a Juwel Rekord 800 from seapets 110l , good price and fast deliverey. I started with a tank half this size and always wished i had gone a bit bigger, but saying that trying to keep it well balanced and heathly taught me a fair bit about this hobby. in fact i am enjoying my up grade...

Thanks Waterdrop, Here is a pic of my hardscape so far; My main aim at the start for this tank is to get a good well balanced planted tank and then add fish gradually once they are estabished. i am thinking of a mix of nean tetras, Harlequins but i also want some corys and ottos. Think i...

Hi all, I have just got a new Juwel Rekord 800 (110l). Its my second tank which was a well planted 55 l, so this is an up grade. will post pics soon on it progrss. so far i am very happy and have completed the hardscape. Want to take my time, but it will be a well planted tank with small fish...

Thanks again folks, We cant wait to get a bigger tank! You are bang about the chameleon shrimp. They have had 3 of my new neons . The other two have hardly any tails left, but i suspect the Rasboras are involved. strange thing is that the shrimp leave all the other fish alone even our ottos...

Thank mate...

Hello, Sorry been away for a while, here are some updated pics of our tank since i added a DIY yeast C02 system.... My plants have gone crazy. Got a bit fed up with looking at blue netting so i just tied my java moss down with some fishing line. Seems to be doing fine, but grows on the slow...

lol thanks for all your kind comments the blue rocks are my atempt at growing java moss under the the netting! I am going for a natral look as well. Just made myself a DIY C02 fermented system. thing are looking better all the time, chuffed to bits it works first time and my indicator has...

Hi all, Just thought id post our tank to see what any of you thought. Its my first atempt. Thinking about a larger tank in the future. The majority of questions i have had since taking up this hobbie have been answered indirectly by a lot of you so i thought i id show you the result. It gives...

no expert bur i have 2 chameleon shrimp living with my 3 corys - the male shrimp chases the lads about a bit, but only if they try to snatch his food! every ones seems happy.

Hello evey one, I am thinking of investing in some cherry shrimp but would like some advice on weather or not our tank can house them. Can anybody please help, would not like to over stock. We have a 54 ltr tank 60x30x30 cm est and well Planted tank with the following shrimp and fish living...

Just a thought, I had a problem like this about six weeks ago: with leaves dying and growth slowing in much the same way as you. I replaced my strip light and the with a new one and trimed back all the dead and dying leaves the plants reacted very well to it.

Many thanks aaronnorth, Will look into the over tank lighting now, would liquid carbon effect my attemts to grow java moss as i thought it was a form of algie, as i am not a big fan of my tetra c02 kit. ta again.

thanks Waterdrop. : ) I am reading quite a few simmerlar threads on here with people having the same experience as me at mo Will post my water readings most days if it helps anyone.....

Thought so thanks if i understand correctly 25 - 50% changes are in order to keep this down. My only question is.. If i remove most of the N02 from water changes ( i dont want t expose my fish to it) will this slow down the formation of the bacteria that process it out to N03. Im hoping that...

Hi, Im lookingforward to getting them in my tank and have found a shop that sell some nice fat ones. They also donated some mature filter medium as well which i thought was nice off them Should i hold of longer as Im getting: N02 - 0.025 Ammonia - 0 Still cahanging approx 25% water ever2...

That is a great looking tank mate.

Thanks I will hold off getting them for a bit as i need a Ammonia test kit., just a quick one on acclimatising them in the bucket before hand. i take it that means in thier bag, could you tell me how long for? ta

Thanks, it seems all the advice points to some ottos and a good cleaning routine, to early for ottos yet i think though. :good:

Thanks a lot :good: I have made slight changes to the plant set up since that pic but not much.... was very please with your kind compliment, :blush:. Will def go fot the ottos.... and will get reading asap. find myself fasinated with my plants at mo. so no rush for fish. Many thanks
