    Getting on top of BBA

    Hi Folks My 300ltr tank had a serious BBA problem for many months which resisted all my tweaks, potions and changes until the point when the CO2 drop checker reached yellow and I nearly nuked all the fish one weekend. After that I decided BBA was far better than a fishless tank. So I wound...

    Aready tried that but DC colour stays the same at each end of the tank. It's currently diagonally opposite the Reactor and is almost yellow. Yesterday I thinned the plants out to see if there was a problem with mass. Although there' s been no significant change in the DC colour I am very sure...

    Ooops :oops: sorry too old to get into these g's and kg's I looked at the bottle and it's actually 2.000g. :oops: So let's get this right each month I use over 650g of CO2 - yes? :thumbup: I use Aqua-essentials 4 dkh water and the blue stuff I bought with it. The magnetic valve switches the...

    possible clearer algaue info.

    Does it say somewhere that Niko has algae problems? Actually, I have no idea but It just could be that ithose principles work for Niko. If they do, then I'm open-minded on the subject. I have read similar views elsewhere so presumably these have been formulated out of experience too. Some of...

    Thanks for the swift response. I agree that the symptons suggest CO2 but I just looked at the drop checker again and it's a almost yellow so am nervous about adding more. The flow is like a mill stream from the Hydo 2,300 lph, a small powerhead and the Dennerle Reactor with the return hose...

    One for James

    I'm adding this to the forum instead emailing James direct as the info may help others. Hi James I've been using (James) "All in One" for over a year now in my low-light (2xT8), CO2, 300ltr tank. I use a double strength recipe with weekly water changes. KN03 4 teaspons KH2PO4 1/2 teaspoon...

    Green film on the surface

    Help I came home after a few days away to find a green film on the surface of the tank. What kind of algae is it? I did a 50% water change but it's still there. Flow around the tank is strong The CO2 level seems OK - lime green drop checker

    Cylinder Pressure

    Apparantly not. I've been reading some horror stories about overfilled bottles and high temperatures. Mine seems to have settled down to around 100bar which is still a little high. A 100 bar is about 1450 psi so hopefully I will be ok. At 170bar (2465 psi) it was a bit too close to the disaster...

    Cylinder Pressure

    Hi Murphy's law - my CO2 ran out on 30th December and the nearest refill centre was closed until January 3rd. As I was also away for the New Year festivities I put the cylinder in the boot of my car, where it stayed in below freezing temperatures until yesterday when I managed to get a refill...

    Rams and Excel
