    Surprise find

    I have been having a post Christmas turn out of some cupboards and while checking through some of the boxes I found some items I recieved after joining the Nature Aquarium Club in the later 90's. A keyring with a membership number on the reverse and an invite to the first aquatic plant layout...

    Cleaning rock

    I picked up an electric toothbrush just for tank maintenance use, just a cheap oral b job a pack of 10 replacement heads was about £10 and last for ages, makes cleaning rocks in situ in the tanks much easier.

    Cleaning rock

    I would be tempted to soak it in water for a couple of days and then use an electric toothbrush to scrub the algae off the stones, I have done this a couple times with good results.

    Recommended pincettes?

    I bought a pair of ADA pinsets 16 years ago and since then I have purchased quite a few sets from other manufacturers but nothing comes close to the feeling of control and accuracy you get from using the ADA ones, you can hold very delicate plants without damage, they may cost more but they work...

    eheim - pah!

    I had a simialr problem with one of my pro filters reciently all it took to fix was a new seal for the pump unit and its fine again. the old seal was 3/4 the thickness of the new one so they crush a fair bit over time.

    Recommend Me a CO2 System

    because your not playing with animal life when welding, tolerances are much tighter, my local hydroponics supply shop sell very cheap regulators that I would not touch as their accuracy is rubbish.

    Recommend Me a CO2 System

    it depends on the size of the tank I'm using it on. on my 4' tank I get about 3-4 months use at 30ppm using an aquamedic 1000 inline reactor, on my 2' tank i get about the same running an ada pollenglass 24/7 but on my 27L cube I get nearly a year using a cheapo glass diffuser. I have used that...

    Recommend Me a CO2 System

    that set uses the same bottles as the jbl ones, often I get jbl bottles returned to me with bioplast deponit stickers on them, there is a solenoid ( night shut off ) and it apears to have everything you need to get started.

    Recommend Me a CO2 System

    it is worth having a look at this setup on ebay it is basically the bioplast profistar setup which in my opinion has a superior regulator to the jbl ones, mainly due to it allowing you to set the operating pressure manualy. I have been using a bioplast profistar set on one of my tanks now for...

    Volume limiter in XP?

    shame, could be time to break out the soldering iron and a screwdriver then and reduce the output from the volume control on the speakers with a resistor or 2 :twisted: If you ask on this forum they should be able to help you reduce the max volume the speakers can achieve.

    James3200s 6.5x2x2' planted tank - UPDATE - 26/06/09

    with the current plant choice that tank will just keep looking nicer the older it gets, just need to get used to trimming the runners from the tenellus.

    James3200s 6.5x2x2' planted tank - UPDATE - 26/06/09

    possibly moving the anubias in the recess at the heart of the wood and a smaller species where they are currently, but the vast expanse of the lawn makes the tank look very clean and uncluttered.

    Volume limiter in XP?

    if they keep turning the volume, if you use a router to share an internet connection, and simply block their internet for a day, if that doesnt stop them make it a week, hit them where it hurts most, their msn / torrents which can easily be blocked on specific ip's in any good router. or run qos...
