Spring has started here in Belgium, so I thought I would already get the aquarium out and get it cleaned! Last spring/summer I did the same thing with a bunch of minnows, but the were in a barrel.. They were doing fine for four months. Unfortunately I lost most of them in 2 days.. Apparently...

Hello, I currently have an old Juwel Rekord 800. The dimensions are (81 x 36 x 45 cm)/ (36 x 17 x 16 inch). It's a small tank with roughly holds up to 110l or 30g. The thing is, it still has two 18w T8 bulbs in the hood. I've known for a long time that this is very low lighting. I finally got...

Hello, I recently started this thread on the coldwater/pond subforum: Makeshift pond, how do I make this work? - Aquarium Advice - Aquarium Forum Community I made a little makeshift pond outside (pics on other thread). I currently have some cabomba and a floating plant in it. Currently the...

Summer's in Belgium! And I'm ready for a little project, here's what I want to do (don't expect rocket science): I was digging through the garden shack and saw a big unused flower pot, like this one: https://www.repotme.com/orchid-pots/Flower-Pot-Black-10.html I figured it would be cool to...

As some of you know I'm currently running a 5g with a moss wall. For those of you who don't I will attach a pic. The problem is, however beautiful it is to me, it's also quite dull. When I look at the tank I see green, green, green. Does anyone have any success with glut, EI and reddish plants...

It keeps saying that it exceeds my upload quota... What to do? Sent per three-eyed raven..

As the title says I want to know the main differences (in efficiency) between these two methods. I myself am dosing EI at the moment. But when I researched PPS, I noticed that it has one extra component to it's macro solution: K2SO4.. Why is this the case? I might think giving PPS a chance...

Had this problem for a while now in my 30g in which i've been EI-dosing is well. Always starts off at the edges of the leaves, then "consumes" the leaf entirely. Nitrogen deficiency? Sent per three-eyed raven..

As some of you might know, I've started EI a couple of months ago. I really like it; it's efficient and easy on the moneys! But now I'm ready to go full cheapo and replace my easylife-easycarbo (a type of excell) for metricide 14. I've been looking at it lately, and I can't really find like a...

Hi everybody, I posted something similar like this a few months ago. But I just want to make sure. I have been dosing EI for the last few months. As a filter in my 5g scape I use a superfish 50. I have been using a very old cartridge with sponge. The problem is that the sponge is really...

So i decided a while ago to do a moss wall in my 5g. I hope this idea won't be short-lived. So basically I wedged some x-mass moss in between two sheets of plastic. I'm hoping this will work out and I'll try to keep you guys updated (bear with me). Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm...

Nah.. Just kidding! But since I have your attention now. Could you help me ID this echinodorus species? I posted a thread like two or three weeks ago, but without much response. The plant was still adjusting from emersed to submerged growth. So today I'll ask you guys the same question ;) These...

I want to make a mosswall by wedging some xmass-moss in between two layers of this material Don't worry i'll smooth the sharp edges down. But is this safe to put in the aquarium? It's some sort of chick-wire. Let me know Sent per three-eyed raven..

Anyone here with the knowledge to distinguish different types of betta's? I just bought this beauty Delta, halfmoon, veiltail?! I have no clue haha! Any help would be much appreciated Sent per three-eyed raven..

Can anyone identify this echinodorus species. Would only grow up to 10cm. Sprouts leaves every day. Also identify the other plant please. Sent per three-eyed raven..

Just wanted to show you my rescape on the 5g! The driftwood is still browning the water (after I boiled it). But eventually it will clear up. Sent per three-eyed raven..

Hey guys, this is my new (old) setup. I tied some anubias to driftwood. But it would appear that I tied my last clipping a little bight to high. It rmerges out of water. Sorry for the cloudy water, just filled up an hour ago. Will the top anubias die off? Sent per three-eyed raven..

So as my exams are drawing to an end, I'm allowing myself to dream about rescaping my 5g planted. My question is: I've always had the following filtercartridges in my filter (superfish 100 filter) I've read somewhere that filters with carbon are not really beneficial to planted tanks. They...

So guys, I'm not really pleased with the look of my 5g anymore. It just.. doesn't like right anymore. Here's the tank: All the vallisneria have melted (like it always does, I think my water is too soft I think). The lighting above it is more ambient lighting really. My misses bought it as a...

Hello fishfans I have the following aquarium: it's a 30g Juwel Rekord 800. Inside, i have two Grolux T8's, which give approximately 18w each. I'll give you a link as well (note that I don't have any clue whatsoever about PAR's etc. and I hope that you guys can tell me something about it.)...

So this happened to my T. Chuna overnight... I have never seen this on any of my fish in two years. I have never seen injuries on my fish whatsoever for that matter... Any thoughts on this? I don't have any sharp edges in my tank so! Sent per three-eyed raven..

Hello all, Last week I did a very large trim on my amazon swords. In the past I have noticed it before, but I could see it very clearly now. Some of the larger leaves that are overhanging the tank, have white-ish, chalk-like points on them... I'm thinking this are hard-water stains like you...

Hello guys, First of all, I've had these plants for 2 years now and they were both beautifully green... In the last 2-3 months my anubias nana and barteri developed these black spots/holes. They are both on driftwood for 2 years now. It's no algae, i can't scrape it off, it seems like the...

Ok guys i bought two german rams two days ago. To my surprise the female has already laid eggs today! I'm actually feeling extremely lucky, but at the same time i don't know what to do with the nest! Here's two pictures (not very clear) So the eggs are laying on an anubias barterii leaf! The...

Hello everyone! It's been nearly a year since my 11 gallon tank is up and running! I am very fond of the little underwater world I have created (it's definitely not a masterpiece but it keeps me busy!) About 3 months ago i added the two little bunches of hemianthus (dwarf baby tears), but...
