    @tlchidau - Thanks very much. I'm dosing the full Seachem range as per their online dosing schedule. It's costly but it works for me. I still do the whole bucket brigade wc's so I don't want to try EI on this tank (50% wc's weekly = 150l = 7 buckets carried through the house! I will be trying EI on my new 135l tank.

    @Hawk,that sounds exactly like me, except a 50% is 300L. I have no need to attend gym anymore and my back is probably messed up already.

    Yup, my back was pretty wrecked before I started keeping fish so buckets are a real pain. In summer I might just do direct wc's from the hosepipe to make it easier...

    @Little Pets Potch - I'm a big fan of Harlequin Rasbora. My stepbrother had a few when we were kids and the bug bit back then.

    At times @HennieRoux all manner of animals could be hiding in my tank but to be honest the pics make it look like there is very little space. I need to post a pic taken through the side glass to show how the plants are actually very low in the front and very high at the back. I unfortunately have buckets of cuttings with no place to plant them! Need to get my new tank!

    Thanks @Keeganp - As I said in the post before, the pics make it look a lot more dense than it actually is. I would guess I have at least half the tank worth of open space. I'm not called the Jungle King for nothing :laugh:
