The next big thing? an affordable LED solution.... Taking the reefing world by storm, company consistantly sold out since production started last year, you must pre order, great prices, just gotta wait for a freshwater version which I hope is real soon because the more I add up the cost of a...

Just wondering if anyone is using these nano versions of the koralia on the forum, what are your impressions of them? The ordinary larger koralias are just too big for me looks wise so I thought I may try a couple of these smaller ones instead...

Hi everyone here's my entry from this years ADA IAPLC 2009 competition. This tank wasn't finished when I entered it, I needed more time to finish it off, but I entered it anyway :D it was low light tank so I should have allowed plenty of time, lesson there. The second picture is nearer to what...

Hi everyone, I just picked up one of these from B&Q over here for the cost of€8.80, in the UK these are only £6. Basically a heavy duty water syphon. Total length of the hose is 12ft or 365cm, comes with a hose connector to add extra length of hose if needed. The only drawback I can see is...

So who's entering from UKAPS? I will enter anyway. Not entirely happy but will give it a shot. The tank I will enter is my second attempt, first effort went fubar earlier this year after a 2 month trip away (work related) so second go here on an entirely different layout. First effort ideally...

I have a 60cm 3x24W EQJ trading luminaire which has developed a fault, the luminaire is about 2 years old. Two of the bulbs will not work any longer (bulbs are working, luminaire is not!) the center bulb will work fine when it is switched on, but the two outer bulbs (on a seperate switch) will...

Just wondering if anyone has tried Needlewheel CO2 diffusion and what equipment/pump did you use? how successful was it etc. Not sure if anyone here has tried this method yet but it looks very interesting and should work very well, a good alternative to an inline reactor (which slows down my...

Coming soon! Looks interesting, an ADA aquasoil clone I wonder. don't know about the brown but the black looks good, no doubt it will be expensive, on a par with Aquasoil for cost anyway. http://www.pbase.com/plantella/naturesoiltestlayout Edit: or is it a gravel?

Does anybody know a company in Europe that supplies mazzei venturis suitable for aquarium use. Has anyone on the forum considered using these/is using these for CO2 diffusion?

I heard Matt Clarke (PFK Editor) on the radio over here today, talking about willy fish of all things :shock: don't ask :lol: anyway I know Some PFK staff, George, Jeremy maybe even the man himself, look in here on the forum so just thought I would report back from the field as it were :D He...

Could anybody recommend a good gardening website that they use? there's so much choice its hard to know where to start, I just need to some research for some plant choices for my garden. I have never really looked at gardening websites before so am not familiar to any of the good ones. UK based...

Well, if you happen to be in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, this coming November you could do worse than check out the annual Aquatic Gardeners Association convention, the master himself Takashi Amano will be making an appearance this year and giving a lecture and an aquascaping demo. Hmmm must check...

Is there? I need a good few double taps but don't want to feel extorted by eheim is there an alternative, I'm looking for 12-16mm double taps. I know somewhere in the distant past I saw Fluval taps but can't seem to find these, anyone any ideas where to look or have you found an alternative.

Ok I will put the question in the right section this time :) Anybody using these filters, what do you think of them? Would it give me enough circulation with an inline heater plumbed in for a 150l tank?? What would you reckon? I could always plumb the heater in on an eheim 2213 and just use...

Does anyone have one of these? I am thinking of putting one on a 100 litre tank, any opinions, good idea bad idea? For Tank litre/gal 250/55 Pump output 700 l/h Filter circulation 500 l/h Delivery head 1.5mWs Filter volume 3.0litres Power consumption 8w+150w Dimensions 340x178x178

I want to put a powerhead in a 150L tank to aid water circulation I'm just not sure what to add or order, the tank is filtered by an Eheim 2215 atm with supposedly filter circulation of 510l/h. Basically the eheim output has radically reduced over the last while and is inadequate, I doubt its...

Is this any good? What is the major difference here with T5 lighting besides the width of the tube, presumably T5s give more output/lumens? I see some of the larger DIY chains B&Q etc are selling complete T4 units quite cheaply now, 20W light 6400K inc all fittings built in ballast etc and...

These look very interesting, stick a CO2 tube on there and you have a diffuser that you never have to bleach, and that can't be a bad thing. www.aquatics-direct.co.uk/rangeViewer.asp?categoryID=102 www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~idProduct~HD01601.html They are basically a turbo airpump that...

What is the easiest way to put a border or a signature on a digital photograph, I want some way to identify that photos are mine when people download them from the web, that's my main question really, but I am also interested in using borders as well if there is an easy way to do that I would...

This is a very interesting video link I found over on Planted tank and something Im sure most here have wondered about at some stage I know I definitely have. How many rocks are safe to put in your aquarium before it becomes overloaded and could potentially break? Interesting results...

Anybody buy this at the local garden centre and try it in an aquarium? Will it die off before you get submersed growth. Thankyou

Just wondering if anyone is growing this moss, I bought this moss a couple of weeks ago and am not sure how this moss is doing for me, some of it seems to be browning, I had heard this moss can be troublesome for some where it goes brown and completely dies off, has anybody experienced this? Am...
