Thank you. It's best to remove your plants' old soil as it's removed some or all of the nutrients in the current mix, so you'll want to give it fresh potting mix or soil. As for the pot size, you do not want the pot to be too big as you do not want the roots to be sat in the soil if too wet it just needs to be big enough for the roots to draw the moisture from the soil. This is to prevent root rot.

Thank so much for your comment. I was the same until I visited a house that had loads of plants arranged around the kitchen/dining room and it looked amazing and really inspired me. Before this I just stuck to the more common plants you see in the garden centres. I have now well and truly caught the plant bug and expanding to the more rare species. I have found great pleasure in doing this and highly recommend it. I intend to do a video on when I feed the plants and tend to do them all together so you will see all what I have so far. I wish you a happy plant shopping experience.

I feel you on the distastefulness. It's an itch I can't ignore. But I do get to control how I scratch it. I only purchase ORA and BIOTA captive bred fish in the states. And I only purchase them from vendors who can prove that's where it came from. This also means denying myself the keeping of any species that has yet to be successfully acclimated to captivity breeding/aqua culturing. I'm only one drop in the bucket of supporting more humane practices. But people can choose to become a flood, and I certainly encourage it any chance I get.

Never trust any shop, any aquatics centre, anyone.. that that fish invert or coral isn’t coming into your home with a parasite or pest, people need to learn the fundamentals of fish keeping before going into this hobby because they want a pretty glass box in there house, I’ve done it and got the T-shirt, went bounding in spent £100’s of pounds on fish and introduced white spot to my 500 litre tank, luckily I saved half the fish and treated but that tiny clown of piece of coral can undo all your hard work if you don’t follow quarantine procedure, it does take the fun out and costs a bit more on extra kit but it will save you headache and time in the long run, all fish should be treated in copper (seachem cupramine) to 0.5 concentration on arrival, a hanna checker is the only accurate way to test for this daily throughout, you should hold this concentration for 14 days, the concentration should also be ramped up slowly as per seachems recommendation, maintain water quality checked especially ammonia everyday throughout, have facility to mechanically filter the water and aerate heavily, I always employ a skimmer in a quarantine tank and the addition of an air pump, copper lowers absorbed oxygen, if fish are struggling with copper or showing signs of I’ll health pull them out into a no copper tank, this method requires you to have two tanks ready to go one treatment tank for copper and one non copper so you can be ready to take a fish out if required, only ever quarantine one fish at a time, I generally arrive fish into an observation tank (non copper) for a week or two sometimes just to make sure the fish are feeding and settled before starting copper treatment, after copper I then revert fish back to the non copper tank (after full water change and thorough cleaning for a further 30 days observation before the fish even enters my main tank, corals get isolated in a coral only grow out tank for 76 days after being coral dipped and removed from shop frag plugs, inverts also get quarantined exactly the same for 76 days

Whats the point of quarantine if these are the only fish to inhabit the tank? You talk the big talk but clearly dont understand the basics of parasite control. As you say in your previous comment you introduced white spot in to your own tank but clearly still don't understand why it happened.

@@stuartfillingham7011 I introduced infected fish into my display tank at the very start of my marine journey 4 years ago, learnt very quickly that quarantine is the only way to go, your correct if these fish are the only fish you are ever going to have in this tank and these fish have been together in the shop then you can make a decision to not quarantine, if they have arrived from separate shops I would quarantine as the other fish might not have a good resilience to a particular parasite, I understand very well parasite control, and the best way controlling parasites is to prevent them entering a tank by way of quarantine and copper treatment, this non quarantine works for this tank but education is key and to show in a video putting fish straight in from a shop is a bad habit and bad fish husbandry for most marine keepers with already established tanks or tanks you would look to add stock to at a later date, to add, when I infected my main display after a year of it being set up, fully established with many corals, it then needed to be fully stripped down, all corals and rocks removed to even have a chance at removing fish, a massive under taking and one that could have been avoided if quarantine was carried out, takes one fish, one piece of coral carrying a fish parasite and you could potentially lose your entire tank, this was not a direct dig at you I’m sorry if it came across that way but I think it’s extremely important to educate people at a foundation level in videos at the importance of quarantine and therefore why you chose not to quarantine on this occasion
