Hi, Please help me sex my little Dwarf Flag Cichlid (Laetacara Cerviceps). I need to buy him or her a mate. Do I have a male or a female please? The colour changes dramatically depending on mood. It's about 2.5 inches (7cm) long and must be just over a year old. Thanks :) Sent from my...

Hi, I'm doing it...! I'm going to inject co2. Now all I need is... everything! I found this kit online. Price seams reasonable. Reviews are superb! Just wanna run it by you guys before I take the plunge. Premium Complete Aquarium CO2 System for tank up to 500L | CO2Art.co.uk | Aquarium CO2...

Gottit. Doesn't work. Thanks. I'm just asking for the reason it doesn't work. I'm trying learn here and I don't get it. Would anybody please tell me why it would cause a problem? Are we talking doesn't work like denim on denim or doesn't work like using an electric toaster under water...

Thank you all for your input. I should stress that while a strictly authentic stock list appeals to me, I'm not aiming for anything resembling a biotype or similar. That's a future project. I've been reading you guys threads with interest and envy and I know you're pretty experienced and...

Near enough... its 110 X 55 X 60 cm. Why no Sajica...? Personal preference or would it cause any problems? Sent from my SM-G850F using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Ok, so the tank is 43 long X 22 wide X 24 deep 90 US Gallons It's the longest that will fit in the space I have for it beside the fire place in my living room. It's the biggest I can find within that length. The cabinet matches the other furniture in my home, so my wife likes it... So, now...

Well that worked. I'll try a third time... Sent from my SM-G850F using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Dream Cichlids...? I would LOVE a pair of Ellioti...! But they wouldn't work with my stock list. It may be that then I really WILL only have one type! One day, they WILL be mine...! ;) Sent from my SM-G850F using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Planting substrate and ferts advice... Hi, the time is fast approaching when I will set up my new tank and I need some advice please... I was advised by my lfs to use JBL AquabasisPlus under sand for my (quite) heavily planted tank. I have 15litres of the Aquabasis and 37.5 kg of Unipac...

Thanks Brian. And what a beautiful scape that one is too...! I'm still not sure what to do. I know lots of heavy rocks on sand equals unstable and risky, but if I put the rocks in THEN the dirt and sand, won't I cause a mess every time I move the rock, if it's stuck in the dirt? Or am I worried...

Hi, I'm setting up a new planted fw tank and need some advice on how to lay my hardscape over planting substrate and sand. I want to get a decent amount of slate in there, with the flexibility to change it up a bit in future, but I don't want to just plonk the lot on top of the sand cause it...

Hi, Here's an odd one for you... I'm 3 weeks into a fishless cycle in a fresh water tank and I've just found that my Nitrate is DOWN and my PH is UP...?! I know it's meant to go the other way, so what on earth is going on? I am following "the (almost) complete guide to fishless cycling"...

They had set ups of equivalent or at least very similar systems in the shop and the colour one made the reds look incredible, but the white made the greens look greener... Again assuming they're both good for plants and strong enough, they can't be too strong as I can control the brightness...

Done! I went in yesterday, armed with some Black Friday offers to price match to and ordered 3 of the ColourPlus tiles with a control unit. I collect next Friday and can change my mind on which colour to choose before then. I'm still undecided on whether to stick to the 3 ColourPlus or to take...

They're 120 degree beam angle. They'll be pretty close to the top of the tank, but that still leaves the bottom 2' away. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Jeze! This is a training course for me! Thanks guys, I've been sneaking this whole conversation whilst pretending to work...! ;) I'll have to get onto all this later on. But by the way, it's actually a 90 USG. It's more like 44" x 20" x 24" to be more precise... In any case it's more the depth...

Brookster - this is more T5 than LED, so wouldn't I have the same issues as if I just went for pure T5s? Nice option though, I never thought if a bit of both... Delapool - I'd love to see that link.! It's this short life and therefore high long term running cost you mention that most puts me...

Ok, so I'm getting that LEDs are the way... IF you do it yourself, but let's say I haven't a clue what I'm doing...? (Cause I don't) I'm not stupid and I can learn, but I'm starting at scratch and this is something I don't want to **** up...! I'm buying a solid oak cabinet and hood, (so the Mrs...
