  Cool, yh I was looking at the Tropica stuff.. Comes with good recommendation from what I've read. I'm planning on having a heavy planted tank in due course but will be moderate to start with.. I'm not overstocked so may start on the one without and go on to the complete. Just want to get...

      cool thanks will bear that in mind and believe I will go for the TNC complete that contains the Nitrate and phosphate... my tank is already cycled so will be just changing the scape.   Thanks for the help all..

  Thanks Firearms

  ahh ok cool thanks, so I can assume that the readings I get are right.. I wouldn't want to add Nitrate to already high Nitrates I imagine

Sunday is the day I will be carrying out the long- awaited overhaul of my tank. Lots of deliberation and planning has gone into it to ensure I get it right.   I'm going to have a moderate to heavy planted tank with bogwood.   My Nitrates are high according to my API test kit (solution based kit)...

    what a brilliant read and debate. (sorry to Mitch posting on your thread)   I'm just about to start planting in my 60L tank and read about the Walstad method.. My it scared me! I just couldn't put my finger on it and I found so much contradiction (prob helped if I bought the actual book!!)  ...

I would say the best advice I could give is keep the water as clean as possible till healed.. Lots of water changes should help. Im no expert in fish A&E but have seen this said elsewhere.. I'm sure someone could recommend further advice

  absolutely this.. Natural daylight and hold away from the card.

  Hows the cycle going?

Yup once a day.. I do a water change on a Sunday morning & Wednesday is a fasting day.

Sorry for your loss.. Did everything you possibly could.

  shouldn't they be called "flews" hehe.. sorry couldn't resist

Hey there,   If you get the water stats and post them up could give a clearer picture. How long has the tank been running>? What size the tank is and what are the tank mates?

Picture 2 is fantastic!!

Thanks Daize and Diddlebug will give that all a go.   I think I found some fishing line still attached to the coconut so maybe the did use that...   Cheers for all advice..
