Yeah, I've got dwarf hair grass and a moss tree. I tried to put a pic but there is an error on the site apparently!

Hi I have a planted tank with no fish in, but have noticed small White worms on the glass... I googled it and it says it can be a symptom of too much food in the gravel... But there is no food as no fishies!!! Help? Are they harmful? Can I get rid??

** worm , not work ** Stupid fat thumbs on my iPhone!!

Hi, it's been a while, but as they say, these things take time! In reply to the last post... I'm not sure! There's a picture of my progress so far below. I keep getting green hair algae all over my moss and general algae on the glass, but now seems to have slowed down after a few water...

Well... Ive placed the LED's at the top of the tank and will not be filling the tank that high. I did test the LEDs and seemed to be ok, but there will always be a 2-3cm gap between the LEDs and the surface. I got my substrate from the internet and managed to plant my hairgrass, also got my...

Started planning the layout of my tank with some gravel and stones. Going for an oak tree over a stream style. I've still got to finish it off with more stones and aquarium sand... Oh and of course the plants!

Plants have arrived... Still waiting on the substrate delivery??? Hmmmm Will they be ok for a couple of days in a bright area, in the pots they were delivered in?

Yeah, it's gunna be my attempt at a moss tree... Thanks for the stand idea, you've solved one of my problems that I was gunna ask! The wood came as a good looking piece, but I gathered some twigs from the wood box at my local aquatics store, asked the shop keeper how much and he told me to...

All ready for my Christmas tree moss! Delivery due tomorrow so shall update with pics once the substrate and water is in too!

No but I will now! I've got an ampmeter which measures voltage! I'll have an experiment and see what I find! Hopefully all will be ok!

100%, already tested in a bowl. It's completely sealed down to the connection of wires, which is well below the bottom of the tank! That was my first thought!! :)

Well, the project has started. I fractured my shoulder blade at work, so have found myself with loads of time on my hands, (or hand, as it is at the minute!) I'm recycling a tank from my friend, 65l, that he used to keep crickets in for his lizards. I have cleaned it up and sterilised it with...

Hey Corbo, I really like your setup... As said above, I'm a fan of the dark substrate, your greens look awesome! I personally think, like you said, once the rear is a bit denser. It'll really give the impression of a stream "cross-section"- like a really natural looking tank! Have you thought...

Brilliant!! Thanks very much!

Hi Jnam! Your tank is looking good, it's good to follow through from planning to complete. I'm starting a project of my own and this thread is a great reference! Hope all is still going well! Stew

Thanks Smitty. I've just been reading online about the benefits of canisters, rather than yeasty experiments!! My equipment "watch list" is building up on eBay... I shall keep you updated with pics once the project gets underway. Until then, any further advice/hints/tips will be well...

...also for a Co2 diffuser, do you need a machine? Or are the "fermenting yeast bottles" sufficient? May be a daft question... I've never had to use one in my previous tanks.

Thanks, I'm not sure about the tree myself as it does look like a lot if patience is required. From doing a bit of research I have priced up most of the equipment needed and will take me a while to source all of the gear, so I have a while to plan it properly! I do however like the "grassed"...

Hey guys, I'm after a few ideas... I currently have an empty 65 litre tank and am looking to set it up for tropical freshwater. Instead of the standard aquarium, I fancy a bit of aquascaping, with a few selected fish. As this is still in the "drawing board" stages I was after some...
