hey guys, I just had to pull a small red rasbora out of the side of my java moss wall, and he's looking a bit out of it. keeps to himself, is looking like he's trying to find a corner to die in. is there anything I could possibly do? he tried to wedge himself behind the wall again. he looks to...

hey guys, finally starting to see my little tank get some characteristics of its own and starting to really thrive. very excited so I thought I'd post it up to show you and maybe get some ideas/tips/feedback. don't be too harsh, I'm still kinda sorta new to the hobby! specs: 30litres small...

it was in the shop as pennywort but every time I've gone to look at how to care for it, it shows plants that look different. can someone please help?

hey guys. I have black spots on most of my plants. what could this be from? k deficiency? I dose seachem comprehensive, have DIY co2 which is a constant 1.5 bubbles per second, and have 3w light per gallon. any ideas?

so... don't put a molly into a newly set up planted tank (as a secondary measure for clearing some algae) when the plants aren't exactly rooted sufficiently yet. the little guy started eating algae that had settled on some of the plants...and got a bit rough...with ALL my carpeted hemianthus...

it's a fine hair algae, mainly on my java fern. i'm scared it will eventually start growing on my other plants but as yet it's mainly on the ferns. they are closest to the light and there is no co2 as yet (long story and stupid DIY not working). this is coming later this week. the water...

Has anyone used it, and with success? Any reviews from forum folk (as opposed to websites trying to push them)? I'd be interested in looking at it for my 8gallon planted tank. How long does one co2 canister last? Thanks!

Hey guys, I've recently bought some Hemianthus micranthemoides from a fellow forum goer on another site and they've been sent to me in decent packaging and all the rest; nothing bad there. Sadly though, due to the Easter public holidays here in australia, they were sitting at the post office...

Hey guys, I've got a strange question. I've seen a lot of good things spoken about moving bed filters, mainly home made ones, and I wanted to know if (rather than using an air stone and a plastic bottle etc for it) I could use k1 media in the sponge compartment of my internal filter? Rather...

hey guys, i'm about to set up my first full planted freshwater tank next week. it'll be a 30litre with hemianthus, frogbit, java fern and moss and perhaps a few more i haven't decided on yet, essentially beginner plants even though i have quite sufficient lighting for the size of the tank...

copied from DIY forum: sup guys, i've been looking at ways to disperse the c02 to my tank - i'm just using the stock standard DIY set up and i've got a few options i wanted some advice on! (tank is 30 litres, or 8 gallons). option 1 - simple diffuser i bought from ebay a while back CO2...

sup guys, i've been looking at ways to disperse the c02 to my tank - i'm just using the stock standard DIY set up and in terms of how to disperse it in the tank, i've got a few options i wanted some advice on! (tank is 30 litres, or 8 gallons). option 1 - simple diffuser i bought from ebay a...

hey guys. so i've got a whole bunch of nice rocks to add to a new planted aquarium. nothing overly sexy, just moss to start and some dwarf hairgrass and a few ferns. i'm having horrible trouble trying to tie and keep fastened, the moss to the rocks! i'm using fishing line so it's quite hard to...

hey aussies (if there's any of you out there), if anyone is from sydney, or close to sydney NSW...where's the best place to catch some fish? i'd love to see if i can look at getting some local rainbow fish or any other freshwater fish with a DIY fish trap.

hey guys, ok so possibly a weird one here, but i hope you can follow. i've just moved to a new property and within a week of moving in, unbeknownst to us, a huge development/construction work has begun above our roof (we are on the top floor of an apartment building). unpleasantries toward...

hey guys, not sure if it's been mentioned but I've noticed that the mobile app (I use an iPhone) tends to freeze and becomes unlock-able, and unusable if I'm logging in and periodically lose reception or access to the wifi network. an error messages appears stating "error: connection timed...

hey guys, probably a stupid question - i've been checking around trying to find my answer but i'm still a bit uncertain. think i just need some clarification. i've got an 8 gallon tank that i'd like to add some medium and potentially high light requiring plants to. the only lighting i've been...

Hey guys, Just about to set up a new 170L (40gal) tank and am getting excited about prospects for plants. Since i'm still quite new but like the idea of having a carpet, or plants atop the substrate simulating a 'grass' look, i want to know other peoples' successes or otherwise using Java Moss...

hey guys, long story, please help :) I've recently got some new guppies, and added them to my 40litre tank with other guppies, and their temperaments have seemed to change recently. there are now 4 and before there was 2. they keep nipping at one of them, who now appears so stressed he has...

hey guys, just wanted to know why (so i can fix the cause, not the symptom) my male guppies have all started picking on another male guppy. long story short, i had two males, happy as larry and good friends, then i introduced two more males, and now the new two, as well as one of the initial...

do they exist, and can they be used with rocks to combine them to create cave-like fixtures? or is there something better to keep them firmly in place? I live in Sydney, Australia (in terms of what brand of glues you might know of that are available locally) thanks!

hey there guys, i'm about to set up a java moss wall and have other ferns and mosses at the forefront of my tank. i'm considering setting up a DIY C02 set up (nothing too elaborate) but was wondering if anyone has had any luck or experiences with these and bubble wands. my idea would be to...
