Morning all, Hopefully my ei starter kit should arrive today from one of the forums sponsers :D . I was just wondering if plain old tap water is ok to make up the mix or wether I need to use RO or distilled. I will be following their mixing and dosing ratio's but if anyone has a better...

What is the best way to go about reusing some redmoor that is being treated for bba. Currently part covered in christmas moss but on bare exposed branches Im battling bba. Want to rescape using said branches. If I remove wood and moss and let it dry out will this kill the spores?

Greetings all, I was wondering if its possible to reduce 21/25mm pipework( supplied with my filter) to 16/22mm so I can fit an atomizer to the return. As I will only need to reduce a section for the atomizer on the return only will this place undue stress on the filter or is it better to...

Hi All, Im in the process of getting things together for my new set up and this is a strong contender in the filtration department. My concern is that in a 90x45x45 180 litres will this be to much flow. I know I should be aiming for 10x turnover so at 2000lph it should be about right. Is it...

Hi, I have been looking at upgrading my lighting for some time and pricing up a T5 luminaire I made an impulsive bid and am now the proud owner of an Aquamedic 150watt halide with suspension kit. Can anyone shed any light( excuse the pun) if I need to replace the current 10k with a 6500k or...

Lights arrived today and there pretty good. Boyu 3 x 8watt T5 with 2 white and 1 atinic. Will change blue for a better bulb. Now heres the dilema, in a tank of only 8.8 gal I really cant justify the prices of some pressurised systems on such a small tank. Ive been looking at the Fluval mini 20...
