Re: Looking for stock recommendations

I’m actually amazed I found the corys to be honest! They had the black ones as well, and I’ve even found another lfs that has gold laser corys but liked the look of the orange Cory more (over gold laser or black Cory).

Re: Roma 200 lighting

You can buy a replacement Fluval LED unit which costs around £140.00 (as used with the current Roma 200 LED).

Re: Brown something or other

Completely normal.
These little bumps underneath the leaves are where baby java ferns will sprout.

I used brown HA6 silicone when I made my lava rock structures a few years ago (2016) when I had the Roma 240.
I must admit that I made them outside the aquarium.

Re: Stephen's 550L tank log (summary & continuation)

I will check the temporary holding tank tomorrow for any other snails, they won't be going in my snailless aquarium. So I now have a large shoal of 91 x Ember ...
