I can make it! Looking forward to it!

Thanks for the responses. I like the look of the Twinstar, but struggle to justify it over the Chihiros A-series. I also like the fact i can dim the Chihiros which as i haven't had much luck with planted tanks i like the idea of the dimmer. Dan - The Oase 250 it is, i want to use lily pipes...

I'm sure more experienced users will comment, but normally too much light and not enough CO2. They can melt back when adapting to a submersed form and come back but generally not enough CO2 with too much light. Lower the light intensity, or duration and/or up the CO2.

Cheers Dan, Really similar to what i am wanting to do. I have a Besta Stand already but was thinking of using a Fluval Roma 90 or 125 more for aesthetic reasons. Have you reinforced your Besta in anyway? I was looking at the Oase Biomaster Thermo 250 as well! Do you find you need to adjust the...

Hi Dan, A lovely looking tank! Why did you go for the 600E?? Also what other kit are you using on the tank? I need a new filter as well!! Thanks Again Ross Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi All, just getting the kit together for a new High Tech planted tank. I have got the ADA 60P already but unsure about which light to go for. Has anyone got any recommendations based upon experience? I'm wanting to grow HC! Thanks in advance Ross

What LED did you go for?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

80% got me melt on the Repens right next to the Bazooka diffuser and i could see CO2 bubbles around the plant that was melting!

Hi Aaron, Yeah i've ordered a Chihiros A Series Plus. It should be here in a couple of weeks!

Hi Doubu, Thanks for the info. I did have a Up Inline Atomizer on a full length spraybar at the back of the tank. The tank was like a can of coke, but i was still getting algae and limited growth, even with the lights at 30%. I changed to a diffuser as the Inline Atomizer snapped when i was...

So i got some more floating plants from the for sale section of this forum. I have lost 75% of them overnight. They arrived in the evening about half six (The post was really late for some reason!) i put them in the tank straight away. They had 1.5 hours of light. Next morning before lights on...

Which Chihiros did you go for the Aquasky?

I agree with Alto, Corys are a shoaling fish but also in my experience like a slower tank hence why i think Alto's suggestion of moving the Rummy Noses is a good one.

OK so i have changed the filter media to get more flow. I have a medium sponge on the bottom tray to catch any large debris. Then i have two trays of ceramic rings, both are one fifth full. Finally i have the top tray that has nothing in it! I have created an All in One Fertilizer Solution as...

How many Pygmy Cories do you have?
