Hi all,
Lovely job, I'm not a great iwagumi fan, but you can't beat a good jungle.

I think that I will hire someone who knows a lot about fish tanks and it will provide a great fish tank at a reasonable price.

Very nice tank has given us all some ideas (At least me). When I have some more time may tweak my 125 with some more plants / moss and a few bright new fish.

Hi

The pictures of your planted tank are fantastic! Started my planted tank (100l) about 2 months ago and struggling to get very good growth. I use the flourish excel, nitrogen, trace, iron and potassium.

How important is the CO2 diffuser?

I am using a canister filter. It came with a pack that has carbon and an ammonia removing gravel. Should this be used in a planted tank?

I have quite a few fish in my tank so will this help with the CO2?

Hi all,
I think "LondonDragon" may be too busy administrating the UK Aquatic Plant Society web site for much of an update here.

He can be found under the same user-name at UKAPS, which is a good place to ask planted tank related questions.

Wow! Beautiful work!
Jungle tanks are always so pretty. Very relaxing to look over. I'd love to set up a fully planted tank one day. But I have a giant Peruvian apple snail who would end up munching it all.
