    Juwel Rio 240 planted fish tank

    Here is a little update a month after I changed the substrate and I have to say I am really happy I decided to move from sand to gravel, plants have been growing much better and i am sure things will be even better as the tank progresses

    Eheim external - when to renew media?

    In my case I changed my Juwel T5's after one year and the difference in light output was visible.

    Eheim external - when to renew media?

    I use Juwel t5 54w tubes, maybe they are not that long lasting, I don't know how long they are supposed to be running, I keep them on for 9 hours a day. The tricky part is that I have just changed them about a month ago :))

    Eheim external - when to renew media?

    Ok, I will leave my lights to burn out from now on and see for myself if you were right or not. Cheers

    Eheim external - when to renew media?

    Ok, let's leave it at that, I see you are getting worked up for nothing so I apologize if I insulted your opinions.

    Eheim external - when to renew media?

    Let's not go too far, I was talking about changing bulbs every year witch is a bit of time, and if light output drops to 50% you should consider changing them. The guys who made this experiment saw that bulbs lose about 30% of intensity in the first half year or so and then gradually lose some...

    Eheim external - when to renew media?

    I have seen tests made by people on tubes and they really lose their brightness in time. I agree with you that you don't have to change bulbs every year but unlike media, bulbs can be changed every year. Bio media can be reused over and over again, you don't have to replace it, even if it gets...

    Preventing Pseudomugil from jumping out of the tank

    Some people use a mesh cover over the tank, if you google it you will find all sorts of DIY solutions or you can take a look at Exo Terra terrarium screen covers

    How to keep Pearl Weed (Hemianthus micranthemoides)?

    I guess it is normal for Pearl weed to have deeper roots than Cuba because it can grow much taller.

    How to keep Pearl Weed (Hemianthus micranthemoides)?

    For now, I will try to carpet it for a while just to see how it looks, then I will buy Cuba from a reliable source, because that was the initial target. I love the fact that it grows that fast and I love that rich perling when Co2 in higher concentration is present.

    How to keep Pearl Weed (Hemianthus micranthemoides)?

    I think you guys are right so I changed the topic name. Even though it in not Monte Carlo I still would like to hear some pointers from people that have experience with this plant. I am thinking of trimming the shoots that grow vertically and replanting them in order to expand the carpet and...

    How to keep Pearl Weed (Hemianthus micranthemoides)?

    Well what can I tell you, it might be something else, if you can find out what I would apreciate it, this plant started perling right after planting it and it spreads sideways almost as much as it grows vertically

    How to keep Pearl Weed (Hemianthus micranthemoides)?

    I would like to show you my Micranthemum Monte Carlo carpet and it's evolution in the first 3 weeks. I actually bought it as Cuba but when I got it I realized it is not. I still think it is a cool plant and I want to keep it and make it a nice green carpet. I looked it up and actually I can't...

    Filter guard and air in the canister, any relationship?

    My Eheim Ecco Pro 300 does a similar thing when the filter floss gets clogged, it draws air inside the canister. It did this a couple of times, each time the problem stopped after I changed the filter floss.

    from reef to plant

    If you kept a marine tank for that long you will do just fine with a freshwater setup, take your until you sell those corals time and read about everything you don't know.

    Juwel Rio 240 planted fish tank

    I can imagine, I had dwarf neon rainbows as well, they were very active, big personalities for such small fish

    Juwel Rio 240 planted fish tank

    Yes I kept rainbowfish for quite some time, until I got frustrated with the fact that you just couldn't get quality rainbows in my area so if you loose a few like I did in stupid acidents (one jumped into the skimmer, two got stuck behind the driftwood, one jumped out behind the stand when I was...

    Hello fellow fish lovers

    Hey guys I found this forum by mistake and after looking around a bit I liked what's going on around here so I decided to join. I have been keeping fish since I was 10 years old with the on and off periods due to college and then work but in the last 2,5 years I have been in the game. Currently...
