I recently bought some citric acid for cleaning aquarium equipment i.e. Co2 diffuser. Just a bit unsure how much to use and how long to soak items. Any tips welcome :)

Very nice looking tank and the Tigers certainly seem happy now :)

Very nice, I hope to setup my own Taiwan Bee tank soon :cool: What type did you start out with, F1 hybrids or just TB's?

I have now, thank you. I have sent them a message :):cool:

Thanks, I have emailed them its likely to be the delivery charge where the sting is. I have looked at the DO!Aqua at TGM which comes in at just under £100 inc. delivery, but still at lot more than I really wanted to pay but may end up having to. I'm not in a desperate hurry but a bit...

No thanks, I haven't got the confidence to build my own.

Many thanks for the replies people :) I think the likes of NDAquatics will be too pricey for what I want, this tank will only be used as a shrimp breeder so doesn't need to be too fancy. Something like the Clearseal would be fine but nowhere local to me stock them. I have come across the Hugo...

Hi, I am after a standard rimless glass aquarium 24" x 12" x 15" (LxDxH) but I am having trouble finding anywhere that sell just a plain old tank. I have 2 stores near me and all they sell are starter kits or designer type tanks. I seem to recall a few web sites of custom tank makers with...

Yes they are extendable, you would need the RGB-60 which is For 60~80cm long tanks.

But the leds are gradually ramping to 100% over the 5 hour period before so still getting plenty of light, I may increase the static period if needed but atm all plants growing well and red plants looking redder than with the T5's.

My regime looks like this: Dawn - 9:00 - 12:00 (white 5%, blue 60%) Sunrise - 14:00 - 19:00 (white 100%, blue 100%) Sunset - 20:30 - 21:30 (white 10%, blue 60%) Dusk - 21:30 - 22:30 (white 0%, blue 05%)

I have mine on 5% blue overnight, can't see it causing any problems.

Yes more white would equal more intensity. The white and blue leds are adjustable in 5% increments. You can download the manual here : https://www.juwel-aquarium.co.uk/out/media/dlc/Beleuchtung/HeliaLuxLED_Control/GB_HeliaLux_Control_Manual.pdf

I purchased DP-3 just before Christmas and have set it up as per Jag's guide (many thanks) and all is working fine so far. I ended up just using 2 x 500ml spring water bottles for containers but will probably replace for these for something a bitter bigger.

Many thanks guys :)
