Re: Back 2 Basics - Blackwater Edition
Water change day! I also removed one type of botanical as they basically fell apart and left loads of floating fibres in the tank! Took me a while to work out what was causing the fibres, so hopefully no more mess! Topped up the leaves as the leaf bed was getting thin. https://i.postimg.cc/T183tPwx...

Re: Mantis' New Tank
New wood in today, looks a bit better I think but the wood has reduced the flow quite a bit, it's huge and bigger than it looks in the picture lol.. think I'll put the wavemaker back in to help with that but cover it with netting this time so I don't lose another fish. Despite the bigger wood though...

How do you move heavily rooted plants
Hey everyone, planning on moving some stuff around in my tank again. However the crypts will not budge and I don't want to just rip them out like I would with sand as they are rooted in tropica substrate capped with sand.

We'll get it se...

Re: A filter purely for running floss
I was looking at the Ehiem pre filter that you stick on the inlet which would do a similar job.
