For years I have used water straight from the tap with no apparent ill effect and this is with what some people regard as difficult fish to breed such as discus. The chlorine is quickly oxidized and gassed off before affecting the filter and in tern increase the radox of your water which can...

If your bulb holder looks like this then it will be fine http://img.alibaba.com/photo/280496599/ ... r.summ.jpg

In my low light set up the anubias is thriving as previously said, I think the low light is a main factor.

Re: My venture into my new 760 ltr aquariam. Be interesting to know a bit more on the remote temperature controller and where to get it from as im looking for a similar thing atm and so far only came up with the TC-10 with 0.1 'c accuracy.

Learn something new every day, thanks for that Ed.

Beautiful Jewels, havent seen ones as red as that for a while. does anyone know if this is also a jewel cichlid?

A quick look at the sponsors of this site would bring up TGM

Once the gas reaches the top of the reactor due to not fully dissolving whilst rising up, it is the turbulence cause by the water entering the reactor that dissolves the co2 further, regardless of how the co2 is diffused you are missing my point that it is misleading saying there is no point...

Re: My venture into my new 760 ltr aquariam. You might be able to play on the fact they have not made it to the dimensions they agreed to and get a small discount as had the stand been made out of metal, you would hove no option but refuse the tank.

Is it possible to get a picture of the damage, if A.L don't come up trumps then it will give us a better idea of a possible repair.

That's no exactly true, the turbulence of the water going from a small diameter, high pressure, to large diameter lower pressure causes diffusion of the co2. So to say there is no point having one is miss leading. There might be an argument for the media on larger tanks with a higher co2 demand...

I have made reactors in the past and bought one's and for the effort involved would go with manufactured ones every time now. My Aquamedic co2 reactor has never failed me, this is ran without any media in it. There are several other threads discussing Ebay reactors which may interest you.

Re: My venture into my new 760 ltr aquariam. I can safely say that a 7x2x2 is more than a handful for two average people :) , I nearly broke my back when there was 6 of us on a 8x3x2, you should aim for at least 4+ people.

Re: 570l tank - what was I thinking? Looking forward to seeing this tank develop lots of nice pieces of wood there :D

When transplanting crypts I always cut the roots about 2" from the rhizome and they have always seemed to recover quicker from the transplanting and produce new leaves faster than those which have not been pruned.
