Thanks Juls. Yes life is so much better with a doser. It is definitely a no brainer for planted tanks. They are now only about $90 thanks to Jebao. I...

Nobody has suggested you talk dirty to get them in the mood. Get out your Barry White collection, maybe wear a nice G-String, ( everyone looks hot in...

It nothing too exciting but I noticed Cryptocoryne petchi is not up there obtained through Aquagreen :-)

Hotdamn FM3, thats a tiny needle!! Good info man. Never knew about it. Sorry OT; Back to torpedo barbs pls.

It's actually pretty common to do in the commercial world with larger fish such as barramundi, snapper etc where you need a controlled spawning as a...

looks good. thinking of adding any more plants to this one? i dont think you can get bad cherry shrimp. they become better with age imo. maybe...

Update as per Rebels request on another thread. The filter has been upgraded to a 2213 with the addition of some glass lily pipes. I dont really...

Elatine Gratioloides. LOL i spelt it right if you remove the "something" hahaha... the things you retain. Get if from Dave @ aquagreen: ...

Will just grab what Subscape stock.. Kaito from memory. That's the plan anyway.

Thank you for the words of wisdom!! I am leaning to Elaine gratio....etc over the MC anyway after some research. It obviously can be done but I do...

i've got a glass thingy that's waiting for me to plant. it's gonna have an african violet in it with some HC. these things are so in vogue at the...

Not really, I am thinking it doesnt get enough light, only some ambient light really, no real growth, no die off either, I took this over filtered...

i dont think your intended outcome is compatible with your set up. if you're going low tech, you'll never have that lush green lawn. sure you can...

Nicely done Merv. You should post up a FTS in the journals section. :P

Nice one, I think they are good lights for the $. I wish I could add the TC420 to my up aqua lights but they didnt come with a dimmer and you can add...

Here is an example of a MC carpet in my shrimp tank. Medium light, no CO2, Minimum ferts on a 2Tone sub. It was not dry started and does take a...

Any updates.... Despite my initial annoyance/jealously, I a may be warming up to this idea........ :fish4:

Pruning I believe. Obviously it will need medium light. Try to dry start if possible. Lukeh did this last year; perhaps shoot him a pm. I assume...

Just staring at it this evening.... I was away from 10 days and it held up fine with auto top-ups and ferts. I've now set this up as a routine...

well, i found the source of my problem was there is some sort of shell grit or something that is raising it... maybe try adding some shells to your...

Fr MC, dilligence in pruning, or dilligence in terms of lighting/ferts?

Can do H tennellus broad leaf, crypt larva ( show us ya wallet ) , with some diligence MC, or perhaps mosses on stone like peacock.

Bummer, only Macs here too, will have to take home a laptop from work. Going to set up a 45p and will be going for a chihiros A series Plus light so...

No other way to do it, make up a few months of ferts at a time and also topup the tank with RO. My favourite piece of equipment.

After doing some reading, it sounds like Waterwort is the only likely carpet I can get going in a low tech with no CO2!! Thank you for the tip.
