I think there is a guy that does it in Brinkworth. I'm sure he is on that list.

I have the same style bubble counter as you and I use glucose in it instead of water. You can buy a little pot from tesco in the baking section. You need to warm it up in hot water so its thinner then use a syringe to inject it into the bubble counter. So far its been 3 weeks and I'm yet to top...

Guys, Thought I would just share my experience. My filter started leaking slightly, so I promptly ordered some new seals. These arrived and were fitted, no difference. Leak was slowing getting worse. I contacted John Allan by email on the Sunday. I bought this filter second hand of a friend, so...

Thanks - perfect answer! I believe that my needle valve is giving me inconsistent flow of co2. Which is causing fluctuations in co2 levels creating algae.

So I finally think I am winning that battle between all of the above. Then my Eheim 2075 decides it's going to start leaking.. No problem I thought, ordered new seals... Which made no difference upto the point where is was leaking 5 litres every 4 hours! I contact John Allan who has asked me...

Things seem to be improving as i have moved the plants from right at the edge of the tank. I seem to be suffering loads of brown algae now, and green algae. How do people advise having the spray bar and Nanos configured? Currently my spray bar is along the back with the two nanos either side of...

I have a half(ish) bottle you can have for free ?

This could be a downside to the cat litter, its so 'light' plants try and float away.

Nitrates! I would be surprised as my water from tap is about 40ppm. Thanks for the input, I have been looking at James website, but i have been having issues determining exactly what is what.

Forgot to mention, i believed it was Magnesium, so I have now upped that to 15tsp. This started last week.

Hello, I'm hoping to identify the deficiency i seem to be noticing. I seem to have yellowing of tips of the leaves, and several with brown spots on them. 200 Litre Roma I have 2x39w T5HO bulbs on for 7 hours a day. co2 - On 2 hours before lights, 1 hour before off. Eheim 2075 - Spray bar along...

Thanks! I bought 4 bags, however i had loads left. Im pretty sure i would of got awa\y with about 2.5 so 3.. But at £2.80 a bag, i cant argue.

Thanks :) I do believe it is Hygrophila Difformis, I do plan on experimenting with some carpeting plants once i know i wont get algae! I now have light again, and I'm guessing that the plants will need a few days to recover.
