    Has anyone actually heard of a Juwel tank breaking without these Brace's? Mine (Rio 400) have been broken for about 6 years!! I was told, when trying to obtain replacements that they were not really needed, only as a precaution to dropping light units in tank? Worried now :jawdrop That's...

    I've used one for the last 10 years or so, but mainly because it's what I started with! As to any Benefits i'm not really sure but they must help drawing nutrients down into the substrate for the plants roots as well as making the substrate a Biological filter with a Huge surface area! Regards...

    want to learn more....

    Hi Sam, interesting article on trimming stem plants! I've always followed the Dennerle method which recommends taking out the whole plant and replanting the strongest cuttings!

    JamesC's 200 litre Akadama journal

    Hi Mark, can i just say if you go down the RO route, for a 1,000ltr tank you'll need an awful lot for water changes at 25% - 50% every week!! That means allot of waste water! Hope your not on a meter? :jawdrop Regards Steve

    Help! Catching Columbian Tetras

    Hi Thomas, I think they are just great survivors as they just breed in the tank! I've also had Diamond Tetras breed but not so frequent as the Columbian.

    Algae v Ph?

    Hi, had Staghorn algae appear about 7 days ago which i think was caused by increase in light & no increase in Co2? Changed from 4 x 38w Trocals to 4 x 54w Trocals which on my Rio 400 gives me 2.45w per gal! Have done water changes, increased flow & increased Co2. Yesterday Ph was reading 6.4...
