Last weeks picture. Having to trim the week as it's going bananas. ;)

Hi Can u elaborate on why liquid carbon is bad please. Thanks Barry.

Indeed looks great.

Thanks ady. I'll post some pics next week for progress. Cheers.

Yeah I think the suction of water this draws in keeps it in check. Couldn't believe how powerful this little unit is and it cleaned the surface sparkling in no time. Thanks will do the mod myself to. Why did I throw that pot away ;).

well after 4 weeks now being set up i am very pleased to see the tank without a trace of algae in sight and haven't evn cleaned the glass at all . Is this normal or am i just doing something correct ? the plants are growing like mad but the only issue is i have the tmc co2 drop checker and i...

really well done mate , look extremely promising and best of luck with it cheers

Thanks mate

Updated image.

Thanks mate kind if u. I am sure someone will come along and see how many mistakes I've made ;) I got the rock from green machine , nearly choked at the price if it ;)

Thanks

ok Thanks mate that's brilliant I'll have a play with the filter. If u want a nose at a pic I have a journal started titled cardinal city.

Thanks. The substrate is acadama , petrified wood for scape and I have dwarf Sagittaria carpet at the rear and hair grass at the front. Co2, 2 drops ps. Vimi Ferts , liquid carbon and remin ro. Thanks

Can u enlightened further ;) ? I have 15 cardinals and shrimp , 2 otincolous It's just the flow in the tank is very low and surface movement is non existent resulting in poor co2 circulation for one Cheers

Thanks for the advice mate I will look into it tomorrow. I have got the tmc Lilly pipe and was suspecting this was starving it a bit. Tbo I am a little disappointed with them to. ;). Thanks. External filters are new to me as I am used to sumped marine systems with copious amounts of water...

Marvellous mate thanks. Just placed an order for 2. Cheers

Ok mate. Do they decay though ? Do I mean the silver ones ? Thanks

Just using the media supplied mate. No floss or like slowing it up. It's really quite and I really like it but just a bit disappointed Cheers

Hi my name is Barry and I am a huge reef fanatic. But I kept planted years back and really wanted another crack. The tanks been running 3 weeks now and us making great progress.

Really nice mate , I have the same tank. Cheers.

I realise that mate but was just disappointed with the performance

I've put one if these on my 600 x450x300 tmc sig. By the size of the actual footprint if the filter I was expecting to have to turn the unit s flow down but tbo it's so weak and just hasn't the power I would expect in comparisn to eheim if similar size. Maybe it's me but does anyone else agree...

I can appreciate the galaxy raspora as I have had them some years back , really striking once matured. I think I am going to go with cardinals or blue harlequins. Just settling the tank in a little longer as the nitrogen cycle is active at present. Cheers

Hello mate Your new like me ;). Are u on Essex reef ? Cheers Barry g

I was told around 30 par on the sand is fine , compared to around 400 I am used to no dought the light should do the job. Cheers

I am glad you have asked this question as I have the same . As I am a avid life long coral fanatic I am thinking of using my old led unit on the white channel only to see what happens. I will set the intensity with a par meter so hopefully will be ok. I believe plants are far less fussy than...

Cheers. Is there an advantage over neon s to cardinals ? Def jumping fish isn't an option

Afternoon Looking at adding a small simplistic shoal of small fish to my iwagumi inspired tmc. Sig. It's the 60x45x30 Love cardinals and harlequins But would love some suggestive opinions please Thanks Barry.

Right problem solved I hope. Went to the green machine and picked up a lovely bit of rock to rescale with. Going to add it to the left side and have it emerging from the water. I will hide a small heater behind and see how it goes. Also went to iron ironbridge Telford today so I grabbed some...

Maybe but I love cardinals so was going with a small shoal.

Have set up an iwagumi style tmc sig. Don't want to see the heater so was thinking if the inline ones but they are expensive and have some reliability issues. Do people use cables on a stat or like. Suggestions please would be great. The house is around the 20 c at night so don't really get...

Morning everyone I have been a huge sps reefer for ever but having shut down my latest system due to escalating costs I am venturing down memory lane again with another planted setup. I have just got a white tmc sig 60x45x30 .planted iwagumi style which is my favourite. being as my good...
