Just finished watching Ricky & Morty series, great show and full of adult humour. Suits is another good series, westworld and Legion.

So won't be using on plastic in the near future, cheers the advice. The silicone is touching metal only, its where the metal co2 tube coming from the co2bottle joins the regulator that is metal or whatever metal co2 art make their dual Regulators with.

Checked again for leaks today and found a small leak pre- regulator. Slapped some silicone around the joint and problem solved. Will keep an eye on this for the next week or two. Just goes to show that even though I had checked twice before for leaks, it's worth checking again.

Will check again when I get home.

Hi co2art, Hope you can help, I currently have a dual stage regulator and ive noticed the working presure needle keeps fluctuating from 20bar to 40 bar. This is causing the bubble rate to go really fast to really slow. This is happening when the co2 is turned on and working. This is happening...

It would seem that the di unit is disconnected from the flush. How will this effect everything? Currently get 45psi from the tap, I understand this is low and will need to get a booster pump. Any ideas on what kind of pump I will need for this system? Ive been quoted around £150 from the...

Been adding prime to the water, Still get the same results.

Going to make some ro today so will see if the problem still exists. Will also check that the membrane has not dislodged itself. Update. Used the system todaynand got the same readings:'( . So i checked the tds before the di stage and after. The results are before di stage 64ppm and after di...

Thx for the advice Ian. Still unsure why My tds has increased on my last batch of ro water

The system had been running for 1 hour So can I add this water straight to the tank? I have some gh booster I got from one of the sponsor on the site, should I add this. All very confusing being new to ro usage. Thx Mark

Hope some one can offer me a bit of advice. So i purchased a new ro system http://www.osmotics.co.uk/products/6-Stage-300-Gallon-Per-Day-Reverse-Osmosis-System.html Its been running OK since i set it up 2 weeks ago, Tds reading was around 2 so was more than happy. currently out of the tap my...

My entry this year 367, an improvement on last year.

Hi, Been checking your plant selection online over the last 2 weeks looking to place an order however over half of your catalogue is sold out. When do co2 art plan on getting new stock? Getting very frustrating checking every week.

It looks a lot more balanced since you filled in the right side. Really great hardscape.

Your making this hobby look really easy:banghead: Loving the health and colours, nice work:thumbup:

After looking around a bit more for a camera it looks like its either a nikon D7100 ( new), or a Canon 5D Mkii ( second hand). Your right about the lens mentioned, need to walk before I can run.:banghead: It really don't understand how expensive lens are, it absolutely crazy. So will not be in...

Just been reading this thread by Mark Evans http://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/canon-135mm-f2-l-random-shots.11597/ Very expensive canon 135mm F2 L. What would you say is the closest thing for a Nikon D5300? I found these, which would you say is close in picture quality.... Nikon Nikkor DC...

So many chooses, starting to get head spin. Ive decided on the D5300 as its wifi is inbuilt which will help when taking pictures and able to see them straight away on the lap top. However on lens choose im still not clear what would be the best buy. Also seen Nikon Nikkor AF-S 35MM F/1/8G DX is...

This may help..... http://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/macro-photography-lens-advice.12264/page-2

A little help if you can......... Im looking at buying a nikon D3300 ( looked at the D 5300 & D7300 Nikon also) as it has the same Image processor-sensor format & sensor type as the other two mentioned. Don't no much about cameras but from what i can understand from the forum, the len's is more...

Another option you could look at is the JECOD DCT series Pumps - DCT4000. I've been using this for the last 9 months with no problems so far in my sump on the same size tank as you have. Very quiet and has 10 speed settings, not that you will use the highest setting, but its nice to know you...

Wow, your knocking them out quickly. Another great scape, I want it:-)

The colours in the picture are very vibrant, great journal for people wanting to learn more. You must be happy with the result....keeps the other half happy when she has this to look at all day

Some truly wonderful scape's, some of the wood/stone work is to die for. It's amazing the hight they achieve at the back of the Tank, how do they do that? Top result for Stu (54) think thats his highest rank yet=D>.

Loving the work, the time and effort you put into your scape's really is fantastic. Only tap water, great know im more jealous..

Great result, you must be happy with the result back in the top 100

That is one stunning scape and pictures you have there, so jealous of the plant health I thought I felt a tear coming;-) Always love a good vid, how much time do you take with pictures, processing, uploading, editing ect? I take it your using soft water?

As always your scape looks great. If your interested, you can purchase your copy of IAPLC , please contact at shop@adana.co.jp All ADA need is your name, address and what publication your interested in buying. They will send you a link for payment. Just done this myself for the aqua journal...

Hi Andy, Something like this.. http://www.thegreenmachineonline.com/shop/2014-nature-aquarium-calendar-with-photography-by-takashi-amano/

Very sad news, R.I.P

Hi Nikos Nice top 10 finish with AGA 2014 for " Roots " very nice.

Hi Shawn, Welcome to Ukaps ( What took you so Long)....... Nice Pics on your flickr account, hope to see a journal soon.

Wow..... These are really amazing, like the plant placement in "The Dutch" Welcome to ukaps, hope to see a journal in the future...

Absolutely fantastic, the man is a genius. Paulo some great photos Thx for posting. 

It could be the fact that you've only had the java for 2 weeks and it acclimatising to your tank parameters. Cut off bad leaves, hopefully new grow will be OK. Looking at the short video I would guess that you also have too much flow as every thing is waving "in the air like it just dont care"...

That's a fab collection of scape's, I would be happy to have all of them . Look forward to September when you release the other photos.... Any plans to do a journal on ukaps in the future..?

Ok no problem, PM sent to you. thx

Great Photos as always... The colours look amazing:)

Congratulations on a beautiful scape. :thumbup: Love the Buceph sp Velvet flowering, sorry to hear about your disease. Hopefully you and all the others could set up Buceph anonymous on ukaps, the fact that you recognise the problem means their is hope for you in the future....

Hi Miroslav, Can you inform Karol, that i have sent a private PM through ukaps on Monday and have still not received a reply. Thx Mark

Looking for some guidance if possible............... Im thinking about setting up a cerges reactor for my 90*45*45 size tank. The problem im having is what size water filter housing would work best, should i go for a 10inch unit or a 20inch unit with 1inch ports (4.5 inch width) ? Also where...

Thx for the review, have the same problem my self never enough time. Its why I dont do journals.. Shame about the app not working on ipad ect, cant say im a fan of apple as you say they are douchebags. Same phone, small upgrades each year. The colouring of the LED seem really great, the...

Im sure the par values are more then needed. Cheers for the link  :thumbup:

That's really is beautiful

Hi, Im looking for a new lighting system for a 90cm tank i have, and i keeping coming back to the giesmann futura. Im looking at the 3 module futura its an expensive bit of kit however it seems to be the best on the market for Led. Does any one own one of these units, its very hard finding...

Great News.... Your journals and your advice have been greatly missed.:)

I don't need to know the company, i was just saying that i have not heard of them before this post. Your right that it takes time to organsie these things, however im surprised that some one like PFK did not give this a go, as their in a perfect position to do so. Good luck to them in starting...

Cant say many peple will be sending them 10 pounds to enter. Can see this turning into a bit of a damp squid.... And ive never heard of this company until this post.

Very much of topic, On your site it states for par levels you need the following... However that bloke you take time out to discredit on your site found the following to be true( did a test with a par meter on a ada tank in store)...

So are you saying all the tanks on your site are your tanks??? If not which are yours? Please provide links to these tanks... Thx Also I notice on your site the following information about Foreign Internet forums The Barr Report → American forum dedicated to the whole issue of natural...

Can you show any pictures of the test plants, would love to see. Im in need of a small bush for my current tank.. The reason I asked about the kessil is im looking for a new lighting system for my new 90cm*45*45. Currently im using arcadia 4 tube*25w only 60cm long, the spread on the sides is...

Ardjuna any chance of seeing all the pictures of your beautiful healthy tanks. Not just 1 small tank but all the tanks you have done so we can see your advice works. I find in this hobby that many people claim to talk the talk and have all this great wisdom but in reality have very mediocre...

Hi stu, Great scape as always stu, would be interested in your thoughts on the Lighting: 2 x Kessil A360w Tuna Sun. Whats the spread like, are the par values very high?

Some really great pictures in this journal. Love the wabi-kusa idea, it really helped make them stems bushy. Looking forward to the next installment...

In my tank its usually a build up of organics that cause BBA, so cleaning the filter plus a good clean up in the tank like syphon soil, clean all dead plant matter seems to stop more growth. Also I found a quote by Yo-Han which I thought was very interesting....

I live in Israel near the sea of galilee tiberias. I think until I found out whay they are mining I won't be using in the tank. Trying to find out what they mine may take some time as my hebrew skills are not so good. Thx again Mark

Thx for the reply Darrel, I was going to use in my next scape however after reading your other post about you would not use it if it came from a known "hard rock" mine spoil heap. Well as it happens I did get it from a mine spoil heap, not sure what they're mining. So not sure now.... Cheers Mark

Hi, I found this rock near where i live and was interested in knowing if i could use this in my aquarium.... when cleaning its a little flaky and a fine dust comes from parts of the stone/slate. Also it has some of this attatched.. tested with vinegar and it seems ok. Any ideas on...

Ardjuna i think T.Barr answered you in the following thread http://www.barrreport.com/showthread.php/17727-How-easily-CSM-B-can-become-toxic, however you did not like the answer. How about you come up with your own data that disproves what T.Barr has to say on EI, and not some science papers...

Thx for the quick reply Karol, Your right i did recieve a message on the 11th (Sorry my original message sounded like ive had no contact from co2art). However ive sent 2 messages to co2art since then with no reply. Which is why i contact you via Ukaps. Im not aware of how you post abroad, I...

Hi Miroslav, Is this delivery option available to Israel also, as I may be interested in ordering plants from you if the delivery time is that quick. Thx Mark

http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org/2014/show131.html Some outstanding scape's again this year, however very disappointed with the Dutch category was expecting more. Really chuffed that my scape was published on their site

Im a little puzzled, constantly being told that for a planted tank you need 10x (tank volume an hour) as a general rule. However you only pushing 4x your tank volume an hour and have great growth. Too stunning for words!

link to the top 27.......... http://peha68.pl/iaplc-2014-top-27/ when you look at Piotr Dymowski #45 above is pure class the detail is amazing. Number 14 is a nice, however who in their right mind thought it was better than Piotr Dymowski #45.

It's a shame your not around ukaps so much this year stu, I miss your great journals with loads of great pictures and a fantastic scape for all the members to be jealous off. Looking forward to the fts of this scape, you really are an inspiration. Still a great result with iaplc, will be...

I goto Haifa for my co2 refills, nice 2 hour round trip just for gas You seem to be having better luck than me with some of the plants you have. Thats the reason I was asking about ro water as currently my tds is running at 942. I know it causes problems for only a dozen plants, but 942 seems...

Welcome to ukaps. Noticed you live in Israel, where in Israel do you live? I myself live near tiberias on a kibbutz. Thats an big plant list for such a small tank. Your tank looks great and your plants very healthy. How long have you been using ro water? Mark

A couple of pictures from my IAPLC ranked 523.... changed the name from island scape to Mighty Bush. This tank is still up and running however i will be doing a rescape soon as im bored of this and looking to change....

That looks absolutely magnificent, its a real shame they decided to change the rules at the last minute. I truly feel that you have been hard done by with this scape. The fig bridge is stunning and your hard work is appreciated. Ive seen your other scape's on another forum they also look...

Post arrived today :) Was surprised at how excited I was opening the letter. Came in at 523, really happy with that result. Congratulations to all who entered......:clap:

will not be drilling into the tank so cant have twin stand pipe or x aqua, i understand the need to have emergancy outlet (Herbie in my case), which is why a weir seems the best way (unless you have another idea ) going forward. Will be ordering this tank - sump - cabinet next week, so the...

Ahhh that makes sense concerning the co2 loss. thinking about sealing the wet/dry section to reduce the loss even further. Maybe a silly question but if i have 4 x flow coming in and 10 x flow going out, i will not have enough water coming in the sump as more volume of water is going out...

Was thinking of a Herbie overflow, which means i need 2 bulk heads to achieve this. was thinking of using http://www.cpraquatic.com/products/overflows.html The CS102 1200gph has two 1" bulkheads. Would this be ok for my tank size???? What would your advice be concerning the flow rate going...

Im more of a hands on person when it comes to learning, when installed i should start to grasp the pro and cons. Learnig is all part of the fun:) Not going to be easy with the placement of the tank, but will look into this in more detail. as you say better safe than sorry.;) Great little...

That great ceg4048 cheers

Hi all, New tank size will be 90*45*45cm (180Liter / 48gallon). so will i need a overflow system following the 10* flow rule. Looking at the following page http://www.cpraquatic.com/products/overflows.html the CS90 with 600gph with one bulk head is fine. However i would like to have a...

So the sump size should be ok for my needs. Never away from home for more than 2 days on the run/ thx again Foxfish

foxfish thx for the reply. So with a tank size of 90*45*45cm and the water level droped by 1inch for example, with my sump size of 55*35*36 how much water would it drop in the sump?? The sump has not been made yet so the size could be changed. i would like to be safe and not sorry in the...

Thx Alastair, its what i thought but alway good to ask people with more experience

Couple of questions.. Was thinking of using a CPR OVERFLOW or a lifereef. Any recommendations???? Not really possible to have a mains top up value with the position of this tank in my home. Why would you consider this to be so important The reason for the sump is where i live it gets hot in...

any one have any advice

Hi all, Im upgrading my tank to a 90*45*45cm and in the process changing to a wet/dry overflow with sump. i was looking at the kind of sump in the following thread......... http://www.barrreport.com/showthread.php/13223-Sump-Demo-and-overflow-installation i was thinking of a sump size of...

Hi, Thinking of upgrading to a larger tank (90 x 45 x 45 cm (35 x 18 x 18in) was wondering if my existing lighting unit ( arcadia 60cm 4*24w) would be sufficient for the job. How far high would I need to suspend the Luminaire from the substrate and how many bulbs on to produce sufficient par...

are new aqua journals still available in english?? Cant find it any where

This is going to look great. The cabinet Oliver Knott has used will be a great idea and in white will make this your show piece.hey good look with the move you must be a happy man moving from rented to owning. Looking forward to up dates in the future..... Are you entering iaplc this year?

Great concept. This will look fab when it's filled in. The Hygrophila pinnatifida looks great wish I could get mine looking like that. The black background really makes the green pop. Really nice work

Had me second guessing, first thought no then yes (maybe). Be interesting to see what those Indians think know.......

I envy people who are good with DIY. Fantantic cabinets on show, just saved yourself a fortune..... Nice work

This is my fav also, this is the view from my computer desk. Im really happy with how this turned out, its not so easy at maintenance time as the hard scape makes things a little difficult getting in those nooks and crannies. Thanks for the comment on the photography, its the first time I've...

A few more pictures... Fissidens Fontanus... Borrowed a friends Lighting....

Congratulations, great news for the hobby. So are you the man to talk too about discounts ;)

May try the sand again before I take this down Will see how things look in 2 months time before deciding on iaplc. When is the closing date?

Thx for the kind words Ian, ive followed your scapes and think your up there with the best on ukaps. So your opinion means a lot to a budding aquascaper:thumbup: Just checked out Norbert Sabats 'ghosts' nice scape. My original thought was to have the sand at the front, can still go back to...

Thx to everyone for the great response. Im really happy with how the space was used in this 60cm, managed to get hold of some good hardwood wood and used 4 pieces to fill things out. The red plant is limnophila hippuroides grows soooo slow, well it has for me so far. Cheers :thumbup:

Hi all, I decided to start a new scape back in November last year, its currently 3 months old. Here are a couple of pictures showing how it starting and how it looks today. Some specs: Tank- 60x30x36 Lighting - Arcadia Lighting system Filter - Tetra Tec Ex1200 Substrate - Ada Amazonia...
