Hi there I've got a fluval edge 46l which I have planted and I'm looking to add some additional lighting to supplement the stock LEDs. I'm thinking some nice led light strips would be ok to sit on the top. I've seen TMC do a range of Grobeams but they are quite expensive. Does anyone have a...

Look forward to seeing them

What Rivercat said, better off adding plants straight away it is beneficial to the cycle

Lighting requirements is the light intensity Low (stock lighting) Moderate High The better your lighting the better your plants will do. If your keeping standard low maintenance plants I wouldn't worry about the substrate too much. Java fern is a good one to start with. You can also use...

Plant substrate, root tabs When I can find somewhere to get it I'd like the frosted glass film for the back it helps add depth without having a cheap looking background or just black. Seachem is a good brand for plant ferts Are you aquascaping straight away?

Hey man I don't think I can cover all your questions with the answers you may need but.... 1) not sure too much light will be a massive problem apart from the initial algae blooms that may occur. 2) I'd say in a newly planted aquarium you wouldn't want a strong flow as this could uproot the...

Sharks can be a nightmare in that scenario also have you not noticed any harassing behaviour?

Ok sorry for the break had a few set backs unfortunately. Ok so going to have to start from scratch, I'm aiming for Eleocharis parvula, Hemianthus callitrichoides and a background plant that will grow fairly tall. Any suggestions? Also any recommended online plant retailers in the UK?

No one else got one of these?

There are some good videos on YouTube regarding this and what to look for. Check them out

Hi all So just been setting up my tank and all in place. My new fluval e series heater is placed directly under my water outlet and is displaying LF (low flow) occasionally...I literally could not get it any closer to the flow... It doesn't seem to be heating the water at all. It is flashing...

After much scratching of the head I figured it out...the light works but you have to really press the button a certain way for it to click Anyone else have this problem with the fluval lighting? You think dwarf baby tears would grow with the stock LEDs and co2?

Just found out my lights aren't working! Great! Back to the LFS tomorrow

I have mine which I bought whilst visiting family. Trying to set it up tonight...turns out my lights aren't working and now I can't find My receipt. Should be interesting when I phone tomorrow...just my luck

Was planning on designing the hard scape tonight ready for collecting plants tomorrow but I have now got a doubt regarding the Stand I was planning on using. It takes my weight which should be easily heavier than the tank even when full. Or I could place some MDF board underneath to help...

Yeah I have heard that but from videos on YouTube I have seen it do well in the same setups so worth a try

I'm also thinking of adding a frosted glass vinyl to the back of the tank. Has anyone done this?

Well from what I've read with the co2 setup I bought you will the diffuser and it slowly released it but don't quote me on that I Havnt opened the packet yet only arrived today. The list so far is dwarf hair grass and dwarf baby tears and possibly one more for background maybe depending on stock...

Hey guys over the past couple of days I've got my bits and pieces together and got my hands on everything I need to set up this tank apart from the plants which I'll pick up on Thursday I think, as thats the best time. So far the list reads Fluval edge 46l tank With hang on filter and led...

46l nothing as big as what I usually have. There are a few are the area will just have to pop in. Haven't got the tank yet and will need to cycle so got plenty of time yet

I have problems with my app too, to use certain buttons or functions you have to turn the screen around till it works which can be very irritating!

I'm doing a planted aquarium nothing large. In need of some nice rock, decent plants and for fish I'm thinking along the lines of galaxy rasboras, zebra otocinclus, and so on. Visited the maidenhead aquatics today but I wasn't a huge fan to be honest. Any recommendations?

Anyone in or around Brighton? Not long moved here so looking for opinions on stockists etc.

Your best option would be to find a container large enough to submerse your wood before hand. When you put the wood in fully underwater Weight it down with a rock or some kind of weight and leave it. Eventually it will become water logged and then it would no longer float I'd also be inclined...

Very true. Fish tanks have a very calming effect. You will find yourself sitting, watching them for hours with your back to the TV.
