Any updates?

How are you getting on with the crabs? I'm very tempted to buy a couple but reading some conflicted info on the web and forums.

How are you getting on?

Anyone use the fluval 88g co2 system? I'm reading reviews that the tank empties quite quickly so wondering if I might be better trying something else.

So I'm a little apprehensive on setting up a CO2 system on my tank, simply because I've never tried it before. Having watched a video on YouTube by these guys, http://www.co2supermarket.co.uk/, and it doesn't look all that complicated. Unfortunately I don't have an external filter (i have a...

Anabolic shrimp are really cool. Very sturdy and make a nice addition to a tank despite their lack of colour. The only problem is they need brackish water for breeding, unlike red cherry shrimp.

Hey all, Just came back from vacation and noticed one of my three amano shrimp has grown substantially and has developed what hat appear to be large blackish gills on it belly. Is this anything to worry about? Thanks

The problem is, the tank is the fluval edge with the small opening at the top. Difficult to partition of the tank, and it's not very big to both hands into the tank.

Has to be some form of shark! :)

Thanks, although not quite what I was aiming for, I'd like to get some driftwood and make it more like a British aqua scape. Im hoping the fry could hide the cave or tunnel I've created but do appreciate the point of having thicker plants, I'm hoping what I have now will get bushier as they...

Cool. What are the angel fish like to keep? I'd like to buy some but unsure of their suitability with my community tank (guppies, harlequins)

I want that tank! :)

Nice tank. Real or fake planting?

So here's my new tank set up. It's 90x30x40 so about 108L, and I've put in a fluval u4 (internal) filter, and 24inch 18w lights. The fish include 7 guppies (4x female, 3x male), 6x harlequins, and 3x yomato shrimp (I really want red cherry shrimp but can't find any in the LFS). I'd like to...
