    Bubble Counter Losing Water

    Mine just bubbles up the co2 pipe and into the diffuser and on into the aquarium. Have not figured out how to stop this, but once it's set I only refill it on water change day ! Don't see the need to have it filled all the time once the co2 indicator remains about the same colour change daily...

    I'm sorry but another bba question

    Thanks foxfish, But I would appreciate it if you would go a little into detail with my powerhead placement [emoji9][emoji9][emoji15] I think I'm just confusing myself with contradictory posts and articles all over the place ! As for a £15 ph pen, are they all about as good as each other ? Or...

    I'm sorry but another bba question

    This is a good photo on one leaf, think it's bba but a newcomer to planted aquarium so open to correction, at least bga can be managed with blackout! The green colour in the other photos is where I have treated with easycarbo and it dying. Open to any suggestions though!

    I'm sorry but another bba question

    Thanks rebel, I have full pressured co2 running. It starts 3 hours before lights on and off an hour before lights off. I am directly dosing easycarbo directly onto some of my plants to try to keep them free and only just about keeping up with these from the new or returning growth of bba...

    I'm sorry but another bba question

    I hardly know where to start, I have read so much on this forum and all over the Internet and still can't get on top of my bba outbreak! My tank is approx 500l with sump and fairly heavily planted, I'm using easy life Ferts in the recommended quantities, and co2 till my my drop checker...

    any ideas on what fish this is?

    Blue neon stiphodon goby, need specific conditions and feeding, high flow high oxygen and algae to survive. Nice well fed young example though

    Staking stem plants

    Hey guys, I've had to add two power heads to my (approx) 500 liter planted aquarium. First of all not sure if the power heads are placed right but that is beside the point, I have minimized the affect on my longer stem plants but still some are being taken a little with the current. Is it ok...

    What deficiency is this?

    I'm not experienced in this aquascapeing but I'm having the same problem, my best idea is that my flow is less than a 5th of what it should be. Ferts and co2 are not reaching this part of the tank, don't know how your set up works but maybe the same problems as me ? Hope this helps

    Nelson's comeback low tech

    Looks great ! Love to see these tanks progress! I'm amazed at how many plant species ye use in the scrapes ! I assumed that ye only use 5 or 6 different species! Any way looks great look forward to following your progress!

    I think my aquarium may be ugly:(

    Again thanks so much for the advice ! I think I'm going to move all wood to one corner and a rock scape at the other side (well rocks wrapping around sump box imbedded with. Sand and plant substrate). With montycarlo and Java moss growing through and over. I would also like an open area with...

    Thanks so much for all the great, informative, constructive and educational posts !! Ye put so much work into helping me out. As a novice aquascaper and frankly not very arty ! (I'd generally be happier building a cabinet and tank than scaping one [emoji4]) the help is going to be the...

    Cyanobacteria outbreak

    Good idea with the extra plants floating ! I will get these after my lights out experiment for 4 days of the weekend when I'm going to the country! Good spot on the sump ! When this craze got out of hand first thing I did was check out the filter sponges. I had only cleaned them out 3 weeks...

    Cyanobacteria outbreak

    Hey Iain, Thanks for reply and welcome :) I'll give that blackout a go ! I have just in the last week or so got 4 corrie sterabi and two ottos. Is this sufficient clean up crew for now or would more than this be necessary to deal with this black out? Do you think my dosing of ferts is...
