I just made a hugeeeeeee mistake! Let me start from the beginning: I started my tank 6 months ago, putting this thing called plant substrate by tropica underneath my gravel which would provide nutrients for root feeders such as my crypts. This dirt like substrate needed to be removed as they...

Is this java fern? I thought it was when I bought it but it's been 3 months and it's only about 4 inches tall. I know it's a slow grower but I thought it would have grown more than an inch in 3 months. I heard there is a variety that stays small, is this it?

Hello, I just have a question. Can you use deionised water which is meant for cars like this: http://m.tesco.com/h5/groceries/r/www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=272512807 I don't mind that it's rather expensive because it will only go towards a pico tank so I won't need a lot if it...

A few months ago I started my first planted tank, it's a really simple 5 gallon with anacharis, anubias nana, cryptocoryne bettchii petchii, java fern,lemon bacopa and hairgrass. The hairgrass died immediately because I only have a 3.6w led over the tank. Soon after I also realised that the...

I've been wanting to set up a high tech planted tank for a while but I need your help! This will be a 4 gallon tank btw I drew this to give you an idea of what I want it to look like (please excuse the scribbles--they're meant to be moss). So I have some questions: -what type of light...

How would you classify a low tech tank and a high tech one? What about medium tech? What would you call a tank with low lights, with co2 and fert dosing? Obviously there are different types of lights but what would you consider a "high light" and "low light". These terms are used rather loosely...

Hello, so I've been really interested in setting up a saltwater tank. I've never had one before but I do have 2 tropical. I've been researching a lot and I think that the best thing for me would be a nano tank. I really, really want a clownfish, but have been debating which tank I should get...

Does anyone have any idea what this is??? It's only about 2mm but it's definitely alive, it moves around on my glass eating algae and stuff. It has a very hard shell but I don't think it's a snail. I don't mind it being in my tank since it isn't harming anything, I just want to know what it is...

Hi guys, so these past few days have been really stressful. A year ago, I bought a goldfish and was advised by the people at my lfs to buy a "sucking loach" which would get rid of any algae problems I could get. At this time I was very new to fish keeping and had no idea that what I had was a...

Hey guys, so I have a 5 gallon tank and have just bought an interpret LED lighting system (bright white 36cm with 2 strips). It gives off 3.6 watts of light and for my little set up is perfect. My tank is planted with Java fern, hairgrass, anubias, bacopa, anacharis and some crypts. Basically...

Hey guys, so I'm new to the forum but I'm sure you can help me. So I've got a 3 gallon planted tank with some anacharis, cabomba and a plant which I call the mystery plant as I have no idea what it is, kinda looks like anubias but doesn't have a rhizome and the outline of the leaves are slightly...
