I think you need to reconsider a 1m deep tank. a 1m cube won't fit through a normal door. You will struggle to reach things at the bottom. Most...
That is how I understand it. But I guess you can fit more than on a longer tank.
Thanks. Yes, it is a madagascar laceleaf. Just a pity it lasts a season and is dormant again at the moment.
Almost a cube, Would have been if it wasn't for the back overflow. http://www.tropicalaquarium.co.za/showthread.php?t=511 The biggest drawback...
I really think it is your opinion. I have had bristlenose plecostomus's in my planted tanks for more than 3 years without any problem. They do...

Thanks.
That is where the co2 drop checker comes in. It measures the amount of dissolved co2. The bubbles per second calculation doesn't work because...
As I understand with the Co2, you will be going with a planted tank. The canister filter sounds fine. I would look at getting proper lighting...
Yup. Was from the last import. I am running metal halide lighting and pressurized co2.
Thanks. That is most of them. There is still one I am wondering about. The one in pic 2 on the left. It has a fine smallish leaf (almost the...
Thanks. Yes, madagascar laceleaf. And it is doing really well. Bought it from waterzoo.
An update. I have added some plants and fish. Added Rosy tetra's and some cory catfish. The plant types I don't know. If anyone knows please...
Yes. But with a drop checker, you make up water with a specific hardness and the aquarium water hardness doesn't affect it. Thus you don't need to...
You can maybe look into something called a "Drop checker". Very usefull thing that stays in the tank to give you a co2 indication.
What do you add to the water for nutrients ect?
