Water surface movments always were the same, even when Koralia was running. Also Koralia was running only for 8h once co2 was swtiched on, apart of that time koralia wasnt working. Im not using air pump and other things, just 2 external filters. So I guess that really high flow rate cause that...

Hi guys I just noticed very intresting thing. In my rio 180 ive got 1 eheim 2217 and tetratex ex 1200 so flow rate is already good. There are 2 spray bars on the full lenght of back wall and one is just below the other. There is atomier connected to eheim pipe from which work im really happy...

Hi I want to try with small paladurium in my nano tank. And im confuse, will HC and moss grow emersed on the rock? What do I need else to keep it healthy? Light will be 11w for about 16litres, water level at about 5cm and some water will be coming on the rocks from the spray bar at the top...

Many thanks Ed, it doesnt look that easy as I thought, I thouth water movment and thats all add some plants and water will be clear :D Will check your DIY and try to find some good ideas. Thank once again. Dawid

Thanks Ed I will have a look on your DIY filter, but I think Im more likely to buy just a pump from a classifield or ebay. I dont want to keep many fish just few small ones as like you said koi etc will produce lots of waste and cause problems, and also this pond is not big enough to keep koi...

Hi guys Just quick questions. Ive got 2 filters eheim 2217 and tetratec ex 1200. From each of them there are seperate spray bars which are placedon the full lenght of the back side. Into 1 filter I connected atomizer so co2 is everywhere in my tank. As we know over the time flow strenght...

I thought 0.65W per litre will be good and not too much, at this moment Ive got 0.45W per litre. So make it up to 0.65W or like you are advising leave it like that? ceg4048, you said it will increase the growth but not inrease the plants health, so it might get worse or how should I understand...

To increase the plant growth, am i right?

Thanks Steve Will do it like you said :) hope everything will be fine
