So I brought 110l water butt, iw fitted filter on the input from the gutter, and cut 4 hole in the top to allow some light to get through, also sealed the top with low micron netting, and also used the netting to prevent any Daphnia's being sucked out via the tap Thinking of adding hose to...

Agree, patience is the key, took me month and half to before I refilled my cracked 250l, had to buy new bottom glass, original wasn't even cut appropriately, even got thicker glass 2.5cm Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yep but I'm only able to tap to one of the wall socket so maximum 13amps but just the heater is 8amps, how to increase the resistance of the wall socket? am going to put thicker wiring for the cable that will go the the wall socket plug. So I think my only option to increase the amp resistance...

I am running low around 20amps all together, most of my equipment are 1.3amps but my issue is I have too many plugs in order to run it, I used 2 extension plugs one from my wall to the barrack and then another for the rest of the plugs, it's been fine for 2 years but I want some reassurance, I...

You can't have over planted tank, plants produce oxygen, thus no problem there. I think more likely water reading spike, ammonia it or nitrates Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Am kind of new to electrical installation of electrical breakers and panels. I can do some simple wiring and soldering. I have got drip barrack, I am willing to go and do some extra electrical adjustments, I'd like it to have its own electrical panel, but it would need to be powered from wall...

They come out all the time but during the night, I had group of 25, once there are enough in the group the will eventually get out during the day, but I'd advise to make dark spots where they can crawl around during the day but it need to be dark enough so the won't get scared if the light ;)...

I had sea shells over long period of time 5 years to be exact if you, like mostly every one use carbon media they will break down excess calcium, and snail, shrimps and fish use calcium present in the water, so every water change you add tiny bit calcium to the tank. Sent from my iPhone using...

Though it won't be bad ideas to waste all the waste from the sump, so I divided mine, have some work to do on my barrack so I haven't added anything to the sump except DIY stage canister filter, which is on of my posts in DIY, anyway some pictures. And my 15l planted breeder with 2 stage...

What do you think? Try googling it out, I found on google that my parada was damselfly from plant that I brought had some egg on them, I'd remove them as the habit above the water level which is weird Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Not really if you try roughing the plexi glass and the glass you are sealing it to, if silicone fails I'd go with epoxy, if the tank is dry and empty, and you have some time go with epoxy resin, it will give you nice transparent strong seal, if not try epoxy putty they work under water as well...

I'd suggest looking into food that have all me necessary vitamins and minerals, as that's what cause vibrant colour, but again they could been crossbreed and could have full colour, but if you brought them and they lost their original colour, I'd give them appropriate diet and time and they...

You shouldn't of cycle the tank with fish in, they died because of the water not being cycled, the dead fish will spike the water parameter, making it even longer to cycle. To cycle tank use plants, and carbon media, cycle from 2 to 4 weeks, the longer the safer. Sent from my iPhone using...

And here's my another DIY UGF for my 15l breeder just received another tetra APS 100, 50l-100l tank should be enough as the tank cycle 5x-10x every hour from now on. Have to say am happy with them the 20l- 50l is cycling my 15l shrimp tank with sponge filter it's been going for many months now...
