You are the man, Thank You :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Richard

Hi, I'm sure this question is probably asked on a daily basis, but some help would be appreciated. I have a brown algae beginning to cover the leaves on my plants. I'm running a Rio180 with an additional internal filter and 2 Hagen CO2 diffusers with each canister containing a home made...

Looks amazing Andy. Be nice to see it again in a few weeks :thumbup: Richard

Hi, Sorry to crash your thread, but where is the best place to buy these in powder form? Richard

Is KNO3 Potassium Nitrate ???

Hi, CO2 is currently just using a homemade mix with a Hagen CO2 diffuser. The drop checker is blue, but I have a second unit going in today or tomorrow which will hopefully help. I have the standard Juwel filter, but also a Fluval 2 for additional circulation (I'm not a wealthy man, so it's a...

WOW! :clap: I don't for 1 minute think I have the skills to pull something like that off, but it's the kind of thing I have in mind. I can't wait to get started on it now. Cheers Richard

Thanks guys. I've got a Rio 125 sitting up stairs that I'm gonna work on after Christmas. I think I'll go for something a little simpler. Don't know what yet, but I fancy rocks and HC Cuba or something. Don't really know yet. Richard

Thank you :thumbup:

Hi, I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I have some JBL Ferropol liquid fertilizer, and I can't for the life of me remember how often I'm supposed to add it to the tank. I think it's weekly, but don't want to start pouring it in willy-nilly :oops: Help please :wave: Cheers Richard

Thanks for the advice. I don't think I'll risk putting them in as the Assassins do a great job of keeping the snails to a minimum. Cheers Richard

1st Hagen CO2 system arrived today. I'll monitor the levels and if necessary order a second unit. I now just need to get an air pump to work through the night and hopefully I'll be sorted. :clap:
