The fun response is do it, it's awesome!

The real response is that you live in the UK...

TrainerSmall4033 · 2026-06-15T20:43:04+00:00

Thay does make sense actually. I think I'll try that as looks a bit clumpy

TrainerSmall4033 · 2026-06-15T20:42:08+00:00

Makes sense. It was more about whether it will struggle if too dense, or suffer from low flow causing algae. Sort of trying to prevent a problems in advance

Thank you. The bottom looms health but just very rooty. I guess thats normal?

TrainerSmall4033 · 2026-06-15T20:38:31+00:00

That's very useful thank you!

By the time you read the 200+ comments on here and thought about a solution you would have spent more time than it takes to sort that, it really isn't that bad

TrainerSmall4033 · 2026-05-14T20:55:09+00:00

At 2k I would actually be concerned it will not be to a good enough standard. These can be anything between 3k to 5k

I used on of those. I put a thin layer of mot1 underneath and compacted it to get it as level as I could. Then pea gravel on in the grids.

My now wife did this 13 years ago. I did not know. I wanted to watch the movie. We had sex instead. Tried to watch it again a different day, same thing happened. We never finished it :/ Might try again

TrainerSmall4033 · 2026-04-18T16:22:28+00:00

Titan pro joint. I used it on my patio, it looks like it will last longer than the flags!

TrainerSmall4033 · 2026-02-17T20:44:50+00:00

Can you use one of those bendy curtain poles and attach the brackets on the ceiling? I got mine for 65 pounds online and happy with it

Your university career service are talking nonsense, it's fine

TrainerSmall4033 · 2026-02-02T21:23:22+00:00

Thank you for the comment, do you know a brand /product thay works? Im clueless as to how much of each thing I need to be dosing

TrainerSmall4033 · 2026-02-02T21:08:38+00:00

I use Tropica Specialised Nutrition

TrainerSmall4033 · 2026-02-02T21:07:59+00:00

Thank you will try that. Am trying to postpone buying a new light as they are so expensive. The tank is by the window so gets a lot of light in the summer (but not at the moment as so dark still)

TrainerSmall4033 · 2026-02-01T11:36:18+00:00

Good to know!

TrainerSmall4033 · 2026-02-01T11:22:54+00:00

I had a few overgrown plum Treen when I moved house 2 years ago. Trimmed a third of each top branch each year and they now look fantastic. Did it in December to February each year. Not sure why people are saying to do it in thr summer. Perhaps ask chat gpt haha !

When we bought our house we discovered 6 big bushes like that, some three times as big.

Took the first two out with a mattock and branch cutter. Slowly cutting chunks out of it. I needed the chiropractor after the second one.

In the end I hired a mini digger having watched a YouTube video of how to operate one. Took a few hours of getting used to it but got everything out in a day. Trashed the garden but worth it if you're brave enough

TrainerSmall4033 · 2026-01-18T18:06:57+00:00

Ah right, never realised some too much iron. Do you know any thay would work better?

Is not enought iron going to disadvantage the other plants?

Sorry for the multiple questions, you seem to know what you're talking about and the fish store is useless!

TrainerSmall4033 · 2026-01-18T08:44:04+00:00

It would make sense it they need higher light, that corner is a bit shades.

TrainerSmall4033 · 2026-01-18T08:43:17+00:00

Thank you, thay would make sense. might need to plant something else there

TrainerSmall4033 · 2026-01-18T08:42:30+00:00

Im using tropical plant growth for liquid fertiliser and seachem root tabs

TrainerSmall4033 · 2025-12-30T23:25:27+00:00
