Agree, and from what I've read you need to at least cut in half the advertised tank size for a given filtration spec. There still needs to be good...
Lol! Used that line too more or less when I convinced her we need a tank in the living room. A nicely finished tank to me is like a well framed...
Ah ok, cool. Matrix FTW- I add it anywhere I can too. A second heater is probably a good call- 2 x 150W is always a better bet than a single 200...
Ha! Yeah they are just really nicely made (typically German I guess) - the black silicon is flawlessly neat which I dig. I assume the standard...
Thanks - the other two loaches and fish seem fine for now so hoping it stays that way. And yeah I will possibly keep it - I'm easily bothered...
Well, modified my plan a bit. Picked up an extra 38l/ 10gal tank on Friday eve as part of a good deal on a few things, complete with a little ADA...
Ha! Yup have done some general reading and will get on that plan tomorrow too. Someone suggested just stirring up the substrate in small circles...
Some frosted vinyl on the back of that tank would probably create a nice diffused lightbox effect with the natural light behind it? Cool scape..
Interesting, I see the logic in what you're saying. All this time I'd just do the usual gravel vac, alternating halves every couple weeks, etc....
Thank you for the input, I've not heard of gravel getting to the point where it needs that but will do as advised this weekend. When dealing with...
Hi, hoping anyone can shed some light on a potential disease in my Boyu 130l community tank. Please bear with me on the long post. The tank has...
Thanks a lot guys. Smallest tanks I have owned since my first 2ft and they have their own appeal and needs (insta-waterchanges for one). @A new...
Thanks! Still much to learn about the planted side of things and aquascaping in general. Couple years or so back in the hobby and much has evolved...
Thanks man, I go there now and again and have not seen them before? Maybe I glanced and assumed they were a lake Tanganyika shell dweller at some...
Here are a couple small tanks in my home office I've been tinkering with. Ram breeding tank on left (not for profit - just fun) with a pair of...
How are you finding the killi? Looking to get a couple for my 2ft tank. Do you have males only? Beautiful fish.
Np - and I don't doubt that, ha! Look forward to seeing it come to life.
Wow, 800l - and looks like a well put together setup. Did Graham (Gapedi Tanks) do it custom for you? I wrap black electrical insulation tape...
Nice :) I'd put a thin sheet of ABS plastic or similar background behind the larger tank - black or white tends to help the green colour pop a...
Anyone tried a Chihiros Doctor?...
