Der just hovered over "this" and found it tahnks also worked the quote bit out too. :oops:

eds, Could you post the link. Could someone explain how you insert quotation . Thanks

I do similar for my large tank. I heat the ro / tap water mix stored in a 200 ltr water butt in the garage overnight, fitted with an aquarium heater and a sump pump I pump it from the garage into the house/tank through garden hose. For draining the tank I attach a garden hose to the outlet...

Will the collected mulm have a "shelf life" and is this temperature dependant? Neil

You might find it difficult to get a supplier to deliver to a personal address. You will probably need a business account and a business address. This is certainly true of diving gasses such as oxygen & helium from suppliers auch as BOC and Lindegas,. Also the rental cost of the cylinders is...

ED, Thanks, I will look at the cd. It looked as if it was sealed after the impeller was fitted. The old one came apart easily but the hard rubber skirt never went back on easily. Probably should have just replaced the whole unit for an external. I think the problem with noise will be a...

Mila, Thanks I saw that post. The replacement Jewel powerhead appears to be a fixed unit so you cannot actually remove the impeller. Its also very small in depth. So couuld not be adapted like this.The old power head I replaced did have a removable impeller. I didn't realise the difference...

I m thinking of trying this in my Jewel Record 96. Do you think it will work with pressuruised CO2?. Or should I just run a diffuser, say a Rhinox 2000 ? Initial test makes me think the cavitation in the power head will be noisy, has anyone tried this? Regards, Neil

Thanks for the responses, CEG could you clarify what you see as beeing unstable CO2. You state that you ran the tank at very high CO2 without fish. Presumably when returning to lower levels of CO2 for the the introduction of fish the plants did not show signs of changes in CO2 levels? Does this...

Hi, My thoughts are that plant biomass will be affected by Plant species - fast / slow growing , high / low uptake of Co2 , NPK Fe Leaf structure - broad leaf - fine leaf, total Surface area of foliage- cell structures ability to take up CO2 / carbon and nutrients Root system -...

Thankyou for the replies Very helpful advice on the water hardness. What would you advise on planting density for a carpet of HC or glosso, i intend to more or less to carpet the whole substrate. Would say a planting density of 100 - 150 plantlets over my base approx 79x27cm I usualy go to...

I have a goal to get a fully planted tank going with moderately high lighting, EI & CO2. I have a tank spare approx 22 usg. I would like to use straight tap but I fear the problem with the water is its high GH 180dH with deficiencies in K unknown & Mg 0.1mg/l. When I read the plant adds it...

The date stamp 11/06 would be the date of the last test or if its the only stamp, the date of manufacture. All filling is down to the discresion of the person filling the cylinder, just because the cylinder is in test does not mean they have to fill it. I think you will find the easiest method...

Is this why after water change I get loads of pearling on all the plants (because of the increased CO2 load) then this dies back to some modest activity the next day? Regards,
