Is there a section on here for selling ? I have an ADA 60p complete set up including TGM co2 unit and cabinet.

Thanks for your reply. My problem is I don't know which EI starter kit to get from TNC. The soft water one or the hard water one. I also have CRS in my tank and don't really want to add any more magnesium but then again don't want my plants to suffer Cheers

Well that didn't copy and paste the way I thought it would. It's basically saying Degrees Clark 6.23 Degrees German 4.98 Thanks again

Thanks for the replies This is the information on the water company's website Avg Hardness Hardness Classification Degrees Clark Degrees German 89 35.6 moderately soft 6.23 4.98 Anyone any idea what my GH is ? Thanks

Hi Are Degrees German the same as GH ? I have tested my water using the Sera GH test and it takes 9 drops to change colour so i assume thats 9dGH. My water providers website says 4.98 degrees german If Degrees German is the same as GH why the difference cheers guys

Hi All Been thinking about doing this for a while and eventually took the plunge this week after a visit to TGM I thought if I am going to do this I will not fart about trying to do it on the cheap and ultimately fail. So after pursuading her in doors to let me try it, here is what i've bought...

Already posted this in the General planted tank forum - mods feel free to delete from there. Realised it should of been in here. Hi I have just purchased an ADA Solar 1 light with the solar arm to fit on an ADA 60p. As you can imagine I'm well excited and eager to get this set up. I've just...

Thanks for the replies and welcoming me to this fantastic forum. Still cant decide what i will do lol. Another problem i have is that i am about to move house and was thinking of setting the 180 up and cycling it in the new house so i can transfer my malawis from the 5ft into there. (be easier...

Visited TGM last week and must try this aquascaping lark ;-) I've kept fish for over 20 years, planted tropicals and more recently Africans (low maintenance). I have my Malawis in a 5ft Set up with 150kgs Ocean Rock and coral sand. My experience with planted tanks has been pretty bad -...
