Jools has just added this article of mine to the website.

Its main aim is to run through some of the common problems that newcomers to the hobby suffer from.

Many of the same problems do crop up from time to time in the forum.


Jools suggested some photos to break up quite a large chunk of text.

So, I would like have images of the following in the article:

1) A really nice planted tank
2) A river tank (preferably no/few plants)
3) Driftwood snag tank
4) Some catfish feeding on frozen bloodworms
5) Sand/gravel of different types.
6) Species of the plants mentioned
7) A quarantine tank
8.) Algae (preferably different types)
9) A fish (preferably catfish) suffering from ich


Feel free to submit any other photos that you think would work.

Just add them to your post with the [img] tags.


Good luck and thanks.

Hi Racoll,
Perhaps you can use some pictures from this thread:

Or this one:

Key words: sandy bottom, Vallis, bogwood

BTW: your article is very worthwile and I hope many people will learn from it. Minor spelling thing in Plant section: it reads Anubius; should be Anubias.

Great.

Thank you both.

Lovely looking tank Marc.

I'll decide what goes in when this thread dies.


Thanks for the spelling correction also.


KEEP THEM COMING.......

I just made the arrows transparent too, which is a little touch but makes it look nicer IMHO.

Very nice article. Feel fre to use these if they meet you requirements:

1) Anubias decorated tank/African driftwood snag



2)Planted tank. Not sure if it is "really nice."

I don't know if i'm being stupid, but they look the same to me.


Also, I wonder if people have photos of an internal power filter and an air powered sponge filter.

Here's a 75 gallon planted tank that had duckweed at the time:

The plants later choked out the duckweed. It's a "beginner" tank.

Here are some photos of my 1meter river tank at some of the phases he has gone through...

With Pistia stratiotes on top...


With plants...

Unfortunately i had to keep lights closed for most of the past summer due to heat and lost all plants except Lemna

Not aquascaped at all... I am upgrading it soon and so i havent really cared to make it appealing after the summer...

Any more photos

Hi,
These are a couple of pictures of one of my Panda Corydoras eating a bloodworm:



Crop them, do whatever you want/need to do.
Don't worry if for any reason you can't use them.

Ooops, missed these out in the previous post.
I had some problems with algae a while back, and have some photos.
They are not the best but if you need them, use them:

top are not algae, but Blue Greens, sometimes called 'blue green algae", or more correct: cyanobacteria.

bottom are filamentous algae and brown algae; both are true algae species.

Thank you.

By sheer coincidence, I had a brown algae disaster overnight. I added some pH Decreaser from Jungle to our 35 gal. hex tank... This is what our filter looked like this morning! Completely plugged with brown algae! Note the stream coming from the bypass. The filter cartridge was brand new!

here is one of my favorite planted tanks.

Great stuff.


Thank you all.
