    Working preassure - supposed to be stable?

    Thank you for your answere :) That makes sense. Even if it probably isn't dangerous, I am a little concerned about leaks as I have a little baby rolling around on the floor at home. Nice to know that small variations don't have to mean that I have leaks. I will do some more testing this...

    Working preassure - supposed to be stable?

    Hi, I set up my first CO2 system last weekend. I have some trouble fine tuning the system. I use a dual stage regulator from CO2art. I experience that when I increase the bubble rate, the working preassure drops. It also drops the first minutes after I turn the system on. I note an increase in...

    Hi, small update from me. The plants are doing well. The MC is still brownish, but at least it's still alive. I have added a few new plants. Still some algae, but I don't mind it. It's becoming clear that the weeping moss (which is not weeping at all) is way too dominating.:banghead: I have...

    Jump starting new aquarium?

    So much interesting information there! Thank you Darrel:D Love having some threads to read through in the evening. I ended up sending a big sponge from my filter and some plants. Also told him to buy more plants and only a few fish to begin with. He did not want to give his daughter a tank with...

    Jump starting new aquarium?

    Thank you for good advice! I agree that it's a bad idea.. I'll donate some plants and advice him to wait again. Seems like its a common thing to rush it when people first decide to start an aquarium (understandably :rolleyes:)

    Jump starting new aquarium?

    Hello, A colleague is setting up an aquarium for his daughter for her birthday. They're new to fish keeping and they are gonna put in some fish right away. I wanna help them by giving some soil or filter media from my mature aquarium to hopefully help the bacteria going. However they live far...

    Thanks :) No, after all that is written about glutaraldehyde I wanted to manage without. But maybe I should try :shy: I'll try to be more patient when I pour water into the tank :lol: Got a few photos

    Time for an update. Things are going well for the most part. The plants are growing in nicely and I am satisfied with the development. No big algae problems so far. I have done some changes with regards to the light. 50% -> 60% intensity and 6 hours -> 7 hours photo period. It's been running...

    Hi, and thank you. The tank is doing well and is growing in slowly. I will post an update with pictures soon. I have had no big set backs so far, apart from a shrimp accident. I added 6 Amano shrimp a few says ago. Today I found 2 shrimp on the floor. :arghh: I think yesterday's water change...

    Hi Jacob, Sounds like you made a good deal! I like your setup. The background plants and roots go very well together. :) I picked up some stone here and there. The last ones i bought cost about £ 6 per kilo. Some were more expensive. Unfortunately I have no idea how many kg of stone there is...

    Hi, time for a small update. Its been 3 weeks. The aquarium now looks like this: I can see new growth on almost all plants, which is encouraging. I still do 50% water changes 2-3 times a week. The lim nophila is growing very fast, and I have cut it back. I will probably replace it in the...

    Thank's for advice guys. :) I feel kinda silly, because I have planned the tank in my head for a long time, and should have spent more time actually setting it up. Impulsive.. :crazy: Yes, I try to do 3 water changes a week for the first weeks. I will reconsider to use excel etc. I reduced...

    4ft tank 1st in 5 yrs

    Hi, Its a nice root, and I like the position. If anything, maybe a little more left, to get the 'crown' off center? Just my though tho. Is the heater still at the bottom, and is that safe?

    Hi! Intro For years I have read journals here at UKAPS and other forums, and I finally have the opportunity to set up a tank myself. I bought the equipment a few years ago, but haven't had the opportunity to set it up before now. This is my first attempt at creating a planted aquarium. My goal...

    Hello!

    Hello, I can't wait to get started with my first planted tank! I'll set it up within a month. I kept fish when i was a boy, but were never good with plants. I'll probably have a lot of questions along the way. Excited to join this forum! Sondrus
