    Neo_ad's 350Ltr Journal (Prometheus)

    This has got to be the most depressing thing I have ever seen, its been nearly 6 months since I have posted on my first planted tank journal! So just a small update on what has happened since then! Last thing I said on my journal was that I had purchased a cheap job lot of plants (the...

    Few questions about C02

    I removed the bioballs (still have them) and changed them to the ones you can see in the picture as they are supposed to be better :) when I take a look at the reactor I might swap them back to the bioballs.

    Few questions about C02

    Hi Dan unfortunately I don't own a diffuser, I opted for reactor as I had such a large tank. I might strip down the reactor and take another look at it (guh) You can see my reactor here (sort of) I was thinking of maybe putting the plastic tube more into the centre of the cylinder as at the...

    Few questions about C02

    Full details on my tank and equipment are located here viewtopic.php?f=35&t=6193 if you should need them. I am using an external Aquamedic 1000 reactor with Fire Extinguisher 1, I can get the bubble checker set to something like 1 bubble per second and 95% of the time it comes out as really...

    Neo_ad's 350Ltr Journal (Prometheus)

    Cheers for that. At least I know it not just me suffering from this! I did my weekly water change last night and have re arranged my flow again and dosed my ferts. Did a bit of plant maintenance and some general tidying up so I will see what happens to the scum/oil and wait to see how you get...

    Neo_ad's 350Ltr Journal (Prometheus)

    Big update! Right first thing is first I have been getting overly obsessive with getting my aquascape correct first time, so in a change of tactics I have re arranged it again to something I like (it might be wrong/right/better) but I can change it again later once I get better. (its also an...

    facebook

    Could I make a suggestion, it would serve UKAPS better I think if you created a "page" on facebook and not a group. Its free works the same way but with a few added advantages, users will become fans which sounds better and spreads out via "friends you may know" Also the main reason, if you...

    Haha I purchased a large group of fish one around 15 or so, and the guy said are you sure your tank is ready for them. I said yep all ready, he said ok no problem before I sell you them explain the nitrogen cycle to me :) I thought it was quite nice of him to check that way.
