Getting hold of the various bits required is the difficult bit living in the Isle of Lewis but I've now sourced most of what I need via ebay and a couple of other sources. Even the apparently simple bits like right angle elbows in black are proving difficult at a sensible price. I may just have...

Thanks Allan. I've continued to work on the basic formula and I'll have a few more versions to show shortly. They're so versatile and shift amazing amounts of water with so small an input. I cleaned one of the sponges today for the first time and was amazed at the amount of dirt that was in it...

Here's a little tutorial I made, well actually there are three short videos of the high performance airlift or jet-lift I've been experimenting with. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to comment or mail me.

The equipment is an old heated propagator (You can pick them up on ebay for about £20) The lights are also available on ebay but they usually come from Hong Kong/China) The Co2 is supplied by a Robinsons special R bottle with a hole drilled in the lid and an airline fed in. If you wanted to get...

This is today after removing a couple of bits for a friend. The Echinodorus tennellus isn't doing as well as the other two but I've already harvested it twice and this is just the bits that were too small to plant.

I'm doubling my Marsilea crenata and Bacopa australis every week and I've harvested twice already. The substrate is a little Fluval shrimp stratum and a little limpopo sand with just enough water to cover the substrate and stop the plants drying out. I add a few drops of EI salts every few days...

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I've left messages on your website but you've yet to reply. I try and contact you directly by email.

I use 2 x 1.75 litre diluting juice bottles fitted in tandem and charged about a week apart so there's no drop off. It took a wee while to get it all running smoothly but it's keeping the drop checker nice and green on my Rio 240. I also use an eheim diffuser which has a washable inner felt...

Very impressive and beautiful. Can you tell me what lights you're running and the substrate you're using? I'd love for my 240 to look like this but I'm still messing about with yeast and sugar which is keeping the drop checker green and I've added a brace of LEDs to it. I've recently stated EI...

Hello. I've been using homebrew co2 successfully for about a year now but I'm getting to the stage where I want to start aquascaping and the home brew is a bit too clunky and unreliable for carpet plants and I need a bit of advice. I've been looking at CO2art equipment and wanted to know if this...

I need to buy equipment to feed CO2 to 3 tanks. 2 of them I'd like to run from the one bottle/FE via a 2 way splitter. As one of the tanks is a 240l and the other is a 45l I wanted to know if it's possible to control the flow separately or would both outputs have to be the same? I've got 10...

Although this might seem a bit off piste bear with me. I've been using filter silt/sediment as a plant fertilizer for a while now and last year had beautiful results from my outdoor container plants. I also used old tank water to do most of my watering and we had 15 ft sunflowers growing in tiny...

I used it too in an attempt to save money but I wouldn't recommend it. Firstly it's slightly soluble, which is why it won't clear when rinsing and also the possible cause of high TDS. It varies from batch to batch but the one I got was raising the PH to between 7.5 and 8 but others have reported...

Here's my attempt at a growing on propagator. I set it up yesterday. I've decided to go with a mixture of Fluval shrimp stratum and some left over Limpopo and I've put in a little CO2 homebrew kit.

Isn't it a contradiction in terms to have Archaeologist, Surfer and likable in the same sentence? ...and to answer your question, no I don't know him. :)

Hello Tom. I'm in Stornoway but I'm from Bernera. We moved away for a few years but came back 4 years ago and settled down here now. Hi Henry. As far as my internet forum memberships go, it wouldn't need to be very good to be better than what I've seen before ;) but I take your point.

Hello. I got back into fishkeeping about 2 years ago after a long break and too many house moves. I started with a little Interpet 48l fisbox which I'd kept because it was a pressie from my beloved and it's developed from there. I've done a lot of DIY stuff because we're limited as to what we...

It didn't work so here's the link. Facebook

Hello Andy. It just so happens I did exactly that a few months ago and made a little photo album of it. I'm not sure if the URL will work but if not I'll send you a link to our little group and if you request to join I'll add you. It's a Fluval Vicenza with a Roma I bar on it.
