Hi Guys, after many months of pondering i think I'm finally ready to try and get an aquaopti tank I want to go low tech as the kids will be involved so I know lights are not overly important. The aqua ones are black so don't like them. Any ideas for a nice reliable looking led bar to sit on the...

Thanks alto, I certainly have a good look round and see what's what. Cheers Jez

I'm coming back to the planted fold and just need the voices of reason to confirm what I think i already know. I love the look of the Aquaone Aquanano 80/130 with the built in filter, light etc for convenience for a low tech setup. So about 130L ish However, in the loft I have the equipment...

2kg FE for me too and extinguisher place just swaps them for a fee.

Thanks Madhav, Only thing that I've replaced is the taps as one broke when unscrewing it to remove the hose. Just wanted to know it's worth keeping and perhaps passing on as I can't see a near future with a tank yet Cheers, Jez

Hi guys, Was just wondering after having to close down my setup if the Tetratec ex1200s are still any good. Worked well for me but don't know if things have moved on now and worth keeping? Cheers Jez

Aye, you are right about the watering can dosing. Just felt like being lazy and running the hose from the butts to the plants. Thanks for all your ideas fellas

Thanks Stu and fair enough, but I was a little misleading. My water butts are actually barrels plumbed into the gutter so no access to chuck stuff in apart from the breather hole so thought about using salts as a cheaper option to liquid fertiliser. Wacky I know but just reviewing my options.

Hello guys and here goes. My tank has been shut down due to a house move and being in the conservatory. I could not keep in top of the algae and maintenance so seemed wrong maintaining an algae farm! My odd question is about dosing my 3x200 litre water butts which used to be filled from the...

If it only leaks when the reg is on and handles released it is the residule pressure held in the reg leaking back through the plunger assy that the handle pushes on. If it doesn't leak when handles are held together all is fine. It doesn't do it with the horn connected as all the pressure...

My old post from a previous thread Mine was leaking in June 2008 after a filter clean. I found the water was filling up the void between the plastic case of the head and the head itself and manifested as a leak from the latch. If you look really closely you should be able to tell if it is the...

Mine was leaking in June 2008 after a filter clean. I found the water was filling up the void between the plastic case of the head and the head itself and manifested as a leak from the latch. If you look really closely you should be able to tell if it is the main pump head seal or not. If the...

edited to work, my bad. good luck.

Don't know about delivery times but I have a single version of http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-Way-Brass-CO2-Splitter-Solenoid-Gauge-Regulator-SI_W0QQitemZ250445538786QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Pet_Supplies_Fish?hash=item3a4fb7a5e2#ht_3504wt_754 for 2 years and it has never moved or failed from it's set...

Hi moez The only problem I can see with them is the colour temperature of 15000K plus. Daylight is 6500K and I know some people go a little higher 8000K for example for colour rendition. Not sure how much useful wavelength there will be at 15000K
