The moderators on that forum have not "oked" my registration yet, so I can't PM you. Wish I could post there as there :(. I am North as well, in Ocean Reef. Would love to meet up and look at your tanks! Looking for a 48x24x24 or 36x18x18. What did you pay for your 48"? Could you call me? ...

Hi Guys thanks for the responses. Grae Thanks for the link! Sign up and waiting for the OK from the moderator. Your tank looks great. How many planted tanks do you have? I can't wait to get mine going. Finally found someone that will fill my own CO2 tank, only problem is that it is all the...

Hi all, I was wondering if I could ask some advise... I currently have a planted tank with pressurised CO2, MH lighting and cable heating and I'm trying to grow Rotala Macranda, Rotala Waluchi and Limnophilla Aromatica and I'm having some trouble. My Limnophilla is growing, but it's is green,...

Hi, I'm thinking of making my own ballast to house 2 150w metal halide lights using probably some kind of security light built into the ballast. Assuming it doesn't fall in the tank and kill me does anyone have any advice on what I should look out for or a potential method? Thanks, Neil

How does Java Fern seed itself? I've got a Java Rock in the Betta tank and I've started to notice some Algae growing. One spot of Algae has long threads growing from it, bit it's too thick for Hair Algae. It looks like Java Moss growing out of the Algae spot?

I've been out of the hobby for over a decade but I ended up with a great deal on a huge acrylic tank (79.5x18.25x24) that I just couldn't pass up. However, I've never dealt with an acrylic tank before and noticed that there are two "holes" cut out of the top piece for lighting hoods (I'm assuming)....

Is Maracyn available in the UK - I assume vets may stock it? Just in case BGA rears its ugly head. I may be paranoid but I think I can see a little creeping up from the bottom of my substrate, visible from the front glass. I've heard that Maracyn is great at treating it, I thought of crushing a...

Hi all, I never had good luck with live plants in the past. I'm getting ready to set up my tanks again after a long (too long) break for school, moving, etc. I want to do this the right way from the start, so...what are some good books/resources for a plant newbie like me that covers water...

Hi, I'm obviously new here so "hello" to you all. I'm not too sure how in depth you guys go with planted tanks so I apologise in advance if this seems an odd question - if it's not an odd question then great, perhaps someone can help! I have a Juwel Rio 125, heavily planted, 3.6 WPG HO T8, CO2...

Hi everybody... My goal in setting up my 55 has been to get to a point where I had a well planted tank with discus. I knew this would be work, but it seems I may have missed a key point... although the KH and GH of my tapwater are around 5-7 degrees, the eco-complete substrate I use for...

Hello all I have been getting much useful information from reading the posts here. Thanks. My small planted tank (60cm long) has never really taken off and I don't seem to be getting the growth from my plants that I would like. I have high nitrates in my tap water and would like a vigorous...
