    it turns by hand, the lights are on but doesn't run the program

    If I had a Rand for every piece of kit that's failed over the years ..

    Will be a while before I start this. With my females exploding with babies like this now I'm going to have to get them grown out a bit first

    So, we did some alterations at home and when the time to move the planted came, someone panicked and uprooted my jungle tank :mad:.

    Nevertheless, I have decided to re-scape and sold off the majority of anubia. Kept the crypts, a nice big java and two swords besides the log with various anubia and buce attached.

    Bought a couple pots of stem plants and hope the corey allow them root properly. Also added new soil to hopefully bring some new nutrients to the tank.

    Can't recall what they called without looking them up from the pot labels but really liking the reds and they are starting to grow nicely
