Soil and mesh bags and established tanks?
Thank you so much. If it only needs to be managed for a couple of weeks would it be possible to keep on top of it for the fish with lots of water changes? I also have some emergency stuff that supposedly neutralises ammonia? Not sure if that's wise to use at all lol- embsidney20

Soil and mesh bags and established tanks?
Ahh no i haven't, I will go have a watch now, thank you! I think Tropica was one that leaches out lots of ammonia for a while?? Might be wrong there. I have thought about root tabs but my pleco and my cories are all fully grown and make quite a mess of things when they are foraging so I think...- embsidney20

Soil and mesh bags and established tanks?
Hi! Basically covered that in the title lol I'm sick of watching my planted plants perish and am under the impression I can use soil within mesh bags so I can keep my sand as a topper? Could anyone recommend which soil will be best for an established aquarium, I have lots of fish and don't...- embsidney20

How did you get into the hobby?
For me I think it started because I was obsessed with the Blue Planet series when I was little, I used to watch them all back to back on VHS, knew every sharks name in Latin 😂😂 ( no clue now lol) I was a bit underwater obsessed and wanted to be a marine biologist for many years growing up! I...- embsidney20

Bug bites? Food recommendations for my wet pets please!
Thank you everyone. I ended up buying some bug bites "colour enhancing" flakes and algae wafers (assuming they are also OK for my cories as there is so much insect protein in them!?) for my ground crew. Wow. Just comparing the ingredients to what I was feeding is very interesting. I'm a bit...- embsidney20

Honey gourami
There is no image of that male. That is "some" of the gang, not all. Things weren't peaceful but now they are which is why I updated this thread.- embsidney20

Honey gourami
So I now have 7 in my group. The original gang has grown a lot and I've certainly learnt a lot regarding sexing them and can definitely confirm that colouring means NOTHING 😂😂 out of my 2nd lot (the silver coloured ones) they are identical other than the female has a slightly (and I mean...- embsidney20

Roma 125 seal (or any of the romas!)
The store that I bought it from just got back to me, they are convinced that I've missed it not that it's come out of no where and that it is just excess sealant. I myself am not fully convinced but they aren't worried at all and neither is Hagen. Ive never really relaxed since the...- embsidney20

Anyone has this happen on the trim of their roma? Just noticed it definitely wasn't there a week ago. Sealant is bulging out and over the trim. Waiting for supplier to get back to me. How worried would you be about it??- embsidney20

Honey gourami
Wow thanks so much for taking the time. Filter is the one that came with the tank, fluval u3 but I've found it a bit crap tbh and have added a sponge filter in place of my airstone. The filter is almost at its capacity in that tank and have been wondering if I should fork out for the next size...- embsidney20
