    ADA Aquasoil

    I should have mentioned that I use a UGF with my AS.

    What Am I Doing Wrong??

    Size of the tank is definitely an issue. You will not have stable water parameters with such a small tank. Recommended (from what I hear) is a 60L. Your KH is pretty high for Crystals. Ph should be around 6.4-6.6. I've had Cherries with CRS the only problem you will have is that they will...

    ADA Aquasoil

    1. Yes, you do not need to use powersand. 2. ADA is suppose to last you 18-24 months. 3. Powder is for pure aesthetic. I used it in the front as shown in the ADA book. When I decide to take the tank down it is rather annoying to try to get it all out. You can go without it. 4. I used a 9L bag...

    Faizel I never calculated anything. The tank had to my eyes enough humidity. I put seran wrap and hoped it work. I had some melting, towards the back.

    60P - 1st attempt at a planted tank

    Mike, If there is not enough CO2 supplied and/or ferts then the HC can melt. From what I've read. Today did not notice anything wrong. It actually looks like it grew a bit, but that could just be the fact that I added water. I will definitely take a long at that journal and also google that...

    60P - 1st attempt at a planted tank

    Thanks Mike. I have a really good needle valve on my regulator, not to worried about gassing my fish. Also do not think I will have a EOTD with a dual stage regulator. Since I have no rush to put any fish in right now, I'm just pumping the tank with CO2. As for algae issues. From what I read...

    60P - 1st attempt at a planted tank

    Thanks Westyggx. You do not have to dose ferts. Just spray regular tap water once a day. I sometimes did it every other day. Thanks Bob. I moved it to the other side after I took the picture. Also moved the outflow to the back left corner

    60P - 1st attempt at a planted tank

    This is my 1st attempt at DSM and a planted tank with CO2. I've read a good deal of threads over the net on pressurized CO2 and decided to build my own DSR. DSM was 3 months, mostly because my regulator parts took a while to get here. Equipment Tank: ADA 60P (60x30x36) Filter: ADA SuperJet...

    HELP!! I found a leak in my tank last night.

    You would have to use silicone but am I not to sure if you can have it full. Was setting up a reef sump and the next day we went back there was a slight crack light the one you explained. We had to empty it. It is your safest bet. Good luck Regards, K

    Set-up recommendations

    Are you interested in building your own regulator? Much like the ones over at BR. I personally have done some research on a good solenoid for use on this side of the pond. You can get most regulators on eBay, that do ship to the UK.

    Stu's ADA Mini M nano - updated pics, page 12

    Re: Stu's ADA Mini M nano - Step by step on page 5 Thanks for the feedback. Would raising the pipes higher prevent this from happening? Or should they go about the same height that you have them on? Lastly: Have any info on the Cal aqua pipes? They seem to have a slightly upward funnel shape.

    Which light fixture is better....

    Thanks for the response. The ATI comes out a bit expensive because I would have to get bulbs for it. The tank is 45cm high. Fans going out would not be good. That would be more money. Might just go with the Giesemann.

    Advice on hardscape.

    I will most likely add more pieces to the center area. I do not want to cut any more pieces from the DW to the left. I will take your words into consideration, and again thanks for the help.

    Advice on hardscape.

    Thanks for the help. Wish it would of came a bit early before I planted. How would you move the wood? Currently the piece on the left side can not be position in any other way due to its size. I can push it down some.

    Which light fixture is better....

    I just can not find a site that shows if the Giesemann reflexx has individual reflectors. Also is it a bad thing that it does not have an active cooling fan?

    Which light fixture is better....

    I currently looking for another light fixture for a possible 90P setup. I would like to hear opinions on pros and con on each of the following light fixture. ATI Powermodule 4x24 <- Yes I know its 4 bulbs will only use 2 out of the 4 Giessman Reflexx 2x24

    Help picking a filter...

    Thanks Steve. Just with all the talk about the Series 3 on here, I did not want to have a leaky system in less than a year. The price difference is around 40 euros. I guess I will opt and get the 2073. As for the priming on the classics. I got it down already. Does not bother me.

    Advice on hardscape.

    Your not wrong. I just started with the DSM. Hopefully it works out. On thursday I'm going to another LFS to see if I can get some more wood. I want 2 pieces to kind of go towards the rock on the far right and another piece to go over where the cave is. What did you mean by this "blend the...

    Advice on hardscape.

    So, I take it as the rock should stay in? Like I said the caves will get cover in moss and the side of the entrance will have some kind of plant. Will really be mostly covered. But I hear you. I will also just wait it out till I get the regulator and the light (which the light should be here...
