I have had him for a few weeks. still got him

Ok, your base and top want to be same. You want your 2/4 so the vertical face is the 4" side. Your want you long 5ft bit to be one continous piece. and the 2ft sides to one piece. Your upright will butt-up to the base and top. You want every piece of 2/4 used in the lid and base to be sitting on top a 2/4 upright, so that all the weight is on the 2/4 upright not the joins in the top. Stick it all together how ever, glue and screw it. (i wouldn't use nails) then make like a top for the top of the frame fom like 18mm marine ply, glue and screw to your 2/4 frame. you should probably screw and glue some sheets of wood to the sides and back, going into all the uprights. this will stop it racking, and keep it all square ect. http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/3605/dsc00232on9.jpg Img Tags Removed. Your (2048X1536) Pic far exceeds site specs. Please Read the Guidelines Mod Bill. sorry forgot to click the buttom that shrinks it. doesn't the site shink them to 800/600 anyway? or is it just my pc? :-? When I posted it, it looked 800/600

2 by 4 frame, With ply board around the outside.

cheers for that, quick question, which part is the "terminal bud"? is that the new growth?

Sorry I thought beetroot was there common name :oops: http://www.aquahobby.com/garden/e_sessilis.php red plant, front left (this one is still in the tank, and is healthy...i think)

As one of my Beetroot's wasn't doing to well in my tank I took it out, and I'm now trying to grow it in a glass. Currently, its planted in gravel from the tank, with 1/2 the plant in water from the tank, with flourish excel added. What else can I do to get it back growing strong?

he was that size (6-7cm) when i got him, only had him a few weeks although he does look bigger through the tank

not good pics but: Maybe around 6-7cm

I got one of these (i think) a L204 for $100 from my LFS, cool fish. was eyeing him up for weeks 8)

Oh I thought you meant, what are they like to eat :oops: late night, sorry

good :lol:

make a moonlight :lol: best thing I did for viewing the little fellows

mine goes through a circuit breaker, then has multiple cut offs in the unit(Includes short circuit protection, automatic thermal cutoff and automatic overload protection), and is adjustable from 3V to 12V, and its on a timer so it only really has power for 2hours a day.

I have done multiple double dosing of flourish excel and it still wont go away

nope, sorry

or this? http://img204.imageshack.us/my.php?imag ... 986xh2.jpg ??

YAY it works, all my shy little fishy have come out to play

I have cut that down. to twice a day. and small ammounts.

I siphoning weekly, But I did it three days in a row last week, just to get it all out of those hard to reach places. and i will stop feeding them shrimp pellets. Water is clear, but still has particles floating around

I made one with a 300mm Neon/ CCFL mini fluorescent tube, running through a regulated dc power supply.

I made my only cave next to glass, and they dont use it

turn the lights off, as they are nocturnal (sp*) Mine used to suck onto the glass, and swim around, then I tried to net him, and he started hiding, just starting to venture out again now.

OK well atleast for this next one, i'll do it. PM details or something
