The fairy liquid and water will help you slide it into position and get the bubbles out with a card.
Let it dry, then trim the edges along the bevel of the glass with a scalpel.

And jacks your mothers son. Itlll look great 😉

Yes mate when you spray the glass to apply the film you have a couple mins to start moving it around no problem. The idea is the liquid allows you to adjust the film and get it on accurately then you leave it. It dries. Then sticks. you can even remove this at a later date by just peeling it off with no residue or markings on the glass. So I think going for the film is the best idea. If you want to change colours at a later date then do it
 
Thanks a lot mat and jack very helpful and Ady thats some nice wallpaper 😉 iv even got the exact same fitting on wall to adjust my lighting exept mine is black lol will get the film on this weekend if arries in morning hopefully.will keep you guys posted

Thanks again Dean
 
FINALLY my reg arrived and so did black background. going to put the back ground on shorty.
here is the up-aqua reg
dscn0673g.jpg

i do however have a few questions regarding flooding, obviously firstly i am going to set my fe up to reg etc, i will put all lilly pipes and everthing into position do you think best position would be front right ? put inlet next to the outlet, also were do you think best place for co2 diffuser ? obviously want it into the flow of water but not sure exactly were , also i will fill with treated water then will have to set my filter away so have to learn how to bleed then once on i am going to raise the lights to 75mm above tank and have on for 6 hours then set the co2 at around 2 hours before at 4-5 bps and off one hour before lights off hopefully get set up tommoro, i will set up my Ei starter kit and dose acording to the bottles, will i have to do frequent water changes at first ?

does all this sound ok guys ?

so something like this
co2 on 10am lights on 12pm
co2 off 5pm lights off 6pm

dose acording to the bottle and still require info on cleaning of filter and grass and how often ?

once running for few days and got hang of it i will start dosing my ammonia to fishless cycle

Any help would be great
Thanks Dean
 
Also how exactly do I fill my beetle counter ? With water

Thanks dean
 
I normally submerge my in my tank till it fills up...not sure if that's the right thing to do though :/ works fine for me 🙂

Sounds good to me dean mate, have you got an up aqua diffuser? I'd recommend one as it looks as if your working pressure is adjustable on that new shiny Reg.

Try keeping pipes at opposite sides if you can. Or if placing them on the side have one at the front and one near the back, dependant on lily pipe or spraybar (lily pipe at front and inlet at back, or spraybar at back and lilypipe in the middle of one side)

🙂
 
lol cheers mate its gush lilly pipes will see if can get one at each side of tank see how it looks if not on same side, yeah i will purchase one maybe this month but diffuser for now were you think best place to position is mate?
 
its hard to position things with the 18cm of room so cannot go directly under it, would opposite side be ok or would it not spread evenly ? Or could go just to aode pf inlet think that should work ? will be flooding tomorro after work mate, just made up my micro and macro bottle ready will see how to get filter going then flood and set up co2 and times then dose and hope for the best lol how often you think will require water changes then mate ? when first flood

Thanks Dean
 
Ok will do that tonight, will lift light flood the tank start filter and heater an then start c02 when finish work, how often do you recommend changing the water ?

Thanks dean
 
having problem getting co2 tubing onto beetle counter pipe is same saize as were its going, used boiling kettle water and vasoline but still not going might have to slightly heat with lighter any hints ?
 
on flooding now then once filter running and heater on i will knock lights off and set times for tomorro morning should be ok till then hopefully,will get pic once full
