welcome along mate

i had a quick look and couldnt find any. could you link it please?

one last question: have i got the dosing correct? Dosing is 5ml per 40 litres on a daily basis

thanks. the tip of the teaspoon will do for me.

I currently dose EI, using macro & micro on alternate days. i would like to move to the all in one solution as suggested by 'james planted tank', as such i i have just picked up some absorbic acid & potassium sorbate. i will be using the following solution: 48g Potassium Nitrate 2.2g...

On the diffuser, i originally picked up the inline UP diffusers. unfortunately, it didnt work with my regulator (TMC Pro2- this isnt adjustable on working pressure- and to make it worse, this wasnt cheap to purchase!) regarding the filter. this is rated for a 600 litre tank, so this should be...

ceg: WOW :) thanks for all your advice, you have gone above and beyond there for me, really appreciate the time and effort you put in. i will begin to put this into practice and report back in a couple of weeks. just out of interest though, since the last week i reduced my lighting from 8 to 6...

No need to apologise, i appreciate your help. thread: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=20339

I went from the allinone route to the starter kit purely down to cost. Considering my tank is quite large, i was finding the allinone route was going to work out quite expensive, hence went the starter kit route. Funnily enough though, i was looking to reduce my maintenance routine with the...

I just picked up this EI starter kit: http://www.aquariumplantfood.co.uk/fert ... r-kit.html I have a low light (1wpg, 90w T8 lighting over 350litre Juwel trigon tank). i use pressurised co2, and have been using the allinone fert from the same place up until now. Going by the instructions, i...

Water changes are done in the following manner: Water is pumped out via a pump. I store new water in a water butt, dechlorinate, then pump into tank. My co2 has been constantly the same since going pressurised (at least a month if not more). I forgot to mention, in addition to the juwel...

Anyone have any thoughts on how i can reduce my water change schedule please? or have i completely messed up my maintenance routine :)

I started out my tank a couple of months ago, and i didnt realise exactly what i was doing, until i read up more and found this place! Now the dilemma i have is, my tank is hi tech, sort of. Let me explain, its a juwel trigon350, low light running T8 lights with reflectors at 1WPG- 90w in...

I picked this plant up a few weeks back, its now dying back towards the bottom, but am still getting good fresh growth from the top. Also, could someone confirm the name please, it had no label on it.

looks like i'll have to read up about EI. ive always been put off, as it looks so complicated! Are water changes necessary on a weekly basis? would fortnightly work? i have a low light tank (1wpg), but i use pressurised co2.
