Haha, this all seems so technical! I just sealed up the lid of a soda bottle with some airline in it, checked it, chucked it on the filter outlet and let it bubble away. Platy doesn't seem to mind and the Rams 'n' Ottos seem unaffected.
-
Thanks N1CK, I'll Google it.
-
I might try Bromeliads, once my acrylic arrives! Looking for emersing some normal submersed aquatic plants (does that sound right?)
-
I believe that the eggs need to be kept warm in order to hatch/ hatch more quickly. Your best bet is prolly to put them back in the tank but I'm not sure that'll work. Good luck
-
:-?
-
Once again, far too many ideas are flying around my head. I'm off. Still priddy annoyed about teh acrylic taking so long to arrive. Fingers crossed it'll show up tomorrow.

P44: Do I want to know what those things are?! :-? Aqualiam_11: Will they fit?
-
And I'd like some of these: http://www.planetinverts.com/Red%20Cherry%20Shrimp.html Fingers crossed aye?
-
Both great ideas . Didn't know you bred goldfish P44! Now I need to track down some cheap decent rocks. Oh wait, no rush, my acrylic hasn't arrived! :evil:
-
Isn't chciken mesh metal?
-
I kinda want water flow around the roots of the plants though... Maybe I could make a rock wall?
-
Thanks P44, I do love SketchUp. But how could I make this "suspended platform"?
-
I was thinking of something like this: But I don't know how to conceal the heater and heater and make a waterfall. Any ideas?
-
UB forums were down for me a while ago, not any more though.
-
Thanks but no thanks. DIY all the way!
-
Tried right clicking on links and selecting the open in new tab function?
-
Excel AND CO2? I think that just one is enough. What type of light may I ask?
-
I'm currently running two 30w tubes over my 3ft aquarium, the plants used to grow sweet as. I let the bulbs die out and then replaced them but the plants (even new ones I put in) aren't doing well. I'm getting really sick of it. Should I just sell it and get three or four CFL's wired to one plug? Thanks

I'm running one 1.25L bottle on my 54L and it's flying along. Got four 18w tubes over it (no special plant growth tubes) and I have a serious algae problem. I don't have a bubble counter but they seem to be popping out very frequently, the pH dropped from above 7.5 to below 6 in under a week and has stayed at that level. But my plants have produced visible O2 bubbles for the first time ever so I'm stoked. So unless you're running decent lighting, don't CO2.

Cool! That lizard up the top looks like it's living in fear of drowning though :lol: Is it real?
-
Wowowowowow! http://www.victri.net/tanks/vivarium_2005-06-20.html So keen to try one like this but with far more water. Where can I get some egg crates or a suitable substitute?
-
Saw some at Happy Pet in Manukau. 3 for $5 I think.
-
I got nearly no school work done today, too many ideas whizzing around in my head :lol: (We need a new LOL emoticon, that one looks like a twitchy lip!). I'd like to conceal the heater under the land part and run a pump (also concealed) up the back and make a teeny liddle water fall.
-
And a tank that gives you nightmares? Nice try Morcs :lol:
-
I always take lots of pics! Be patient, I still have to wait for my acrylic lids to arrive so I can replace my old glass ones and use the old glass ones to make a tank. Reduce, re-use, recycle! Yeah, I was thinking flat rocks too, perhaps siliconed into place? Making a background seems like a bit of a pain in the rear end but if I can track down some epoxy resin then I'd be keen to give it a go. How else could I secure the rocks?
