Well so far so good. No re-infestation for 4 days now so fingers crossed. It's one thing where you'd have to wash your eyes out with soap and water if Herbtana get into them and quite another...

Hi. I'm finding this forum and it's members more than a little helpfull so i'm going to attempt a bit of pay back
A total newcomer to the hobby and I've already ran myself into a mild (hopefully!)...

Picture hadn't loaded before. Your aquarium is stunning! Want to put Bamboo in mine once i'm on top of everything. Did you polurethane the stems?

Great, then that's what i'll do. Getting impression salt is not so useful in low concentrations. Will update progress, many thanks

Many thanks for the input. I put extra aeration in as soon as I upped the temperature. Interestingly the Tetras had also been erratic and even looked like their colour had altered in the heat but I...

I've got my first case of White Spot and have decided not to use chemicals. So far it has only appeared as single tiny spots on 4 of my Green Neons but I've also seen 1 of the Lemon Tetras flashing...

The CFL idea has really opened up an option there, cheers!

To Cermet, the penny drops, I see what you mean about CFL bulbs now!

Thanks for your help, really appreciated. Trying to find simple hoods that'll take two bulbs is proving difficult. It seems that near everyone here uses a 2nd filter and as i'm often unable to look...

Hi, having to learn more about forums than aquariums right now! Please be entertained rather than offended by my clumsy attempts!
Wanted to set up my own 40 gallon community aquarium in a bedroom....

Hiya, looking at a 40 gallon tank which i'm going to heavily plant. Would like to know if a power filter may be too agressive? If so then what would you all recommend? I'm even considering a Juwel...

Many thanks. For a long time I thought i'd go to 24" but now I've seen them they seem awfull large and boxey and look hard to plant. Thanks for your response

Hi. This is my first forum posting of any kind which will be fun (or frustrating)!
I've not got an aquarium at all yet and i'm searching for some advice on a) some decent beginners book on the...
