Good point - My pruning scissors of choice are an old pair of school scissors, so that might be the problem. With regards to growth - i guess...
Hi everyone I'm fiddling with the idea of setting up a tank with only rhizome/epiphyte plants. The thought is to get lots of Java Fern, probably...
Another good budget option that some people have tried successfully is LED floodlights. Get them at a colour temperature of around 6500K (should...
If you're ok with a drive to the Woes Rand, check out Aqua Empire. Store was looking a bit rough last i was there as they are still freshly moved...
Yup, that is correct. Must be a nightmare to maintain with all those different moss species, but stunning nonetheless. I found a few of his other...
I liked the aquascaping style of TGM, but the constant praise and marketing shpiel grated my nerves. I basically have to watch the videos on mute....
I really enjoy the scapes put together by Filipe Oliveira, George Farmer and the team at Green Aqua. For George, this is one of my favourites:...
Ok, so not the water temp then. They usually like it close to 27, so you're safe there. If possible, i'd quarantine. A 30 litre tank with a cheap...
First question i usually ask about Cardinal Tetras - What temp are you keeping the tank at? The regular water changes might be dropping the temp...

Looking great! The center gap has filled in beautifully, congratulations. I'm curious as to why the C500 wouldn't be enough - even at 50% of...

I've visited 3 LFS, and only 1 of them has had repeat purchases from me. 1 of them i purchased my tank from - the staff had no clue about any of...
Curious - why not go bigger than 4ft for an aquascape? I'd love to have a 500l + aquascaped beast
I dose daily, every morning about 2 hours before the lights come on. The timing isn't purposeful, just happens that way with my work schedule. I...
Yeah, iron in the micro mix and phosphate in the macro mix tend to react with one another and become unavailable to plants. I had a thread about...
I've only ever used Scape Complete, and it seems to work really well. Using the recommended dosing can be a bit lean on heavily planted tanks, so...
Good plan :thumbup: post pics once done
If you break down the tank today and get everything planted on Saturday, it should be fine to just leave them in a bucket. Add a bit of ferts if...
Any idea how long it is going to take? I've kept a few plants just fine in a bucket of water next to a window for almost a month. Admittedly they...
