im soon going to be shutting down my reef tank and transfering any stock i'd like to keep to a smaller tank,doing this leaves me with a sizable tank to play with.
the tanks 68"x28"x15" water depth,its a sumped tank and i'd like to utilise the sump for heaters,media etc.
fishwise ive a soft...
Thanks for the info.
After a bit of reading I'm pretty much set on a soil based tank.
I'm not in any major rush to get the tank setup so things may change lol.
ive closed down my marine tank and haven't had much luck selling it (to be honest I haven't really tried lol) so ive pretty much decided to run a low tech planted tank with it.
the tanks 48"long 30"wide and 22"high its sumped and I'd like to carry on with the sump for ease of heater location...
Like Sam said optiwhite isn't a type of glass but a brand name.pretty much like Hoover.low iron glass is low iron glass regardless of the name.
Like others have said NA is what id be looking at if moneys no object,lovely stands that imo are nicer than ADA .ADA is just a brand that you pay a...
thanks for the replies:thumbup:
like I said in the OP theres a lot of conflicting views with low tech,flow in this case.
im really trying to get my head around all the different opinions because if I do convert the current tank i'll be investing a fair amount of cash and time so really want...
I suppose I could use some greenhouse mesh across the coverglass to help cut down the light if needed
so flow is pretty much the same a high tech?
im using a couple of mp40's for flow in the marine tank currently,they give a nice broad flow so could keep one of those to help with the flow...
over the last few months ive been toying with the idea of closing down my marine tank and replacing it with a smaller planted tank,ive currently got a 600mm planted tank running so was going to get rid of that as well and replace it with a 900mm but after seeing Alistair & Big Toms tanks its...
first thing I'd say is forget everything you know about marines,planted tanks are a completely different ball game.
I keep both marines and a planted tank and the running of each couldn't be more different.
the biggest difference between the 2 are nutrients and light,marines want low...
i would try it without the diffuser,a bigger bubble should stay in the reactor longer,at least untill its dissolved a fair bit before being pushed through so in theory you should get fewer bubbles making it through to the tank.
i could be totaly wrong though.....lol
cheers dave
thanks for the comments.
limnophilia aromatica and blyxa arrived today so i got them planted and also changed the background to black,think it looks a bit more moody now which i like.
appologies for the photo quality and dirty glassware,i'll get on top of both soon......honest..lol
anyway...
im due an upgrade on my mobile and really dont know what to get.
at the moment im using a galaxy s2 so the natural way forward would be the s4 but with the new i-phone 5s just out im debating going for that.
i was the same with the s2 it was between the s2 or the i-phone 4s.
having always...
dexter was a major let down,just hope breaking bad ends better,i can see walt going out in style......lol
started watching ray donovan and im liking it so far so ive got my fingers crossed its a dexter replacement,now to find something as good as breaking bad........am i asking the...
thought it was about time i started a journel about my new tank.
i bought the tank complete as an ex-display from my local aquajardin as a full running system,as you can see it was a bit neglected but for the price i paid it was a bargain.
heres the tank just after i got it home and...
