cheers guys, well at the moment with everything else i am buying for the tank i can't really afford a bigger filter like say an eheim so this is about the biggest i can get flow wise with the money i have available. Tom how did you find the flow from the ex1200 on your rio? Do you feel it would...
Hi all, im in the process of setting up a planted rio 180 and am trying to decide on a filter for it. I will be wanting an external filter as the juwel filter has been removed. I have read that i need a filter that turns over around 10x the tank volume per hour which seems very high. I am...
Thanks for your input Ed. Your right i never take one persons word when it comes to these things and alot of the time i think the opinions expressed are subjective. I spent a couple of hours searching through the forum last night and it appears that in the majority of threads i saw where people...
Hmmmm ok. I am kind of set on using the aquasoil, seems very good stuff and i like the look of it. Cost isn't a massive issue, but obviously i don't want to THROW my money away!! I am looking at this tank as a kind of long term project i am not going to be stripping it down and rescaping every...

Hello, i have been looking at co2 diffusors for my 24"x15"x12" tank and found some on aquatic magic. But which one would be best the rhinox 1000 or the nano diffusor. I think my tank is around 70litres. Any thoughts?

Hello, i am in the process of setting up a 24"x15"x12" planted tank and am wondering what light unit i should go for. I was looking at a 2x24w T5 unit, would this be enough light? I will be looking to grow glossoas a foreground plant. The tank will be pressureised C02 injected as well.
Kind...
Ok, i will be using a Hydor external heater so that will brig down flow a bit. I am looking at such large filters because i have been reading that it can combat dead spots that cause algae and distribute C02 and ferts to the leaf surfaces more efficiently. Is this correct?

Hello, i am looking for some advice regarding a choice of extrernal filter for my new 24"x15"x12" planted tank. I have been doing a bit of searching on this forum and it appears that the ideal turnover rate is around the 20x tank volume per hour rate, is this right? From that i am thinking...
