Ooo that looks promosing. I might take a look at mine and see its the same Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I have the aqua opti tank and i think it's pretty brill. Nice silicone and clean joins. Have you tried eBay? I got mine there 100quid delivered I thought quite a bargain. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Hi webworm. I have the same issue and found it is a capacitor that makes the whine on front panel near where the wire does in. Unfortunately there are 2 on mine and i dont no which it is. I wrote to tmc asking if they could tell me which one to cut and they said they can't tell me. But they...

And just to top it off. I kicked over the container full of larvae that i had actually collected. Dough. Don't put jugs of water on the floor when its pitch black haha. O well. Bring on the second shrimp I guess Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Well my first shrimp has dropped her eggs early :( seems the gutsy fish in my tank have noticed and hovered most of them up. I managed to save a few though. May take out my second berried shrimp before she drops lol Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Selling sets. No good. The ones near me were all in a basket priced per a piece. Unfortunately I'm not near enough to you to advise you other than what I've suggested. Reclamation yard is my last suggestion. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Tried a patio centre? They quite often stock rocks etc Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Ahh ok. All the south beaches from there are pebble beach arnt They? Wont find to many big ones though I suppose. Fencing supplies near me sell a good variety of rocks and pebbles. I'm probs about an hour away from you though lol Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Looks like some kind of cress. Mine are actually eriocaulon surprisingly. The mix batch seems to be a faster growing variety but still pretty darn slow lol. First batch is just starting to sprout the 3 leaf/stalk. Still only about 10mm the longest shoots. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Where abouts along the Thames? Im London or outside? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Try the beach or rivers. They often have these kinds of rocks. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Not to sure about that setup. Mines comes out of the side with a stem and joins to the bottle. Best bet would be go to a welder supplies or simular. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Some big tank for that lol Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I have 300w heater on mine. It seems pretty good. Tank sits at the temperature I put it at so no complaints so far. I would say it looked a big plastic and cheap when I recieved it but its been no trouble so 5 stars from me. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I have recently put 3 in my tank 2 of them swim about almost playing while the other lays around on the floor at times. I keep thinking hes about to die but seems to carry on. So yours might be the same. Just give it time. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I've only had them for about a week or so. I haven't seen them hiding but there not Mega active. Nice to look at though. Yeah they look alot better in person. I've never seen the emeralds for sale until that day and the guy in Lfs said thats the first time he had ever seen them. Maidenhead...

I believe its called the inlet nipple. Search it on the net. Not sure it's what you looking for though Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Hi. Nice start. Reading your fish choice I see you have chosen the pearl danio. I had the same idea when I seen them on the net. Such a fantastic fish. I now have them. Have you seen the emerald dwarf danio? I had only seen some pictures but when I went to my lfs to pick up ottos I spotted pearl...

They taking sooo long. No wonder they cost so much to buy. Have to keep them a year before they can be sold Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Few recent pictures Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Ive now added sone new fish. 4 galaxy rasbora and 3 ottos. Amazing how quick those ottos cleaned up the bits i couldnt reach. Now if they would just attach to the rocks ill be sorted. List of fish and specs so far. 4 galaxy rasbora 4 forktail rainbow 6 cherry barb + 1 fry 3 ottos 7 shrimp - 2...

Both pots are growing fine. The new pot of mixed seeds seems to be growing alot faster. Must be a faster growing eriocaulon. They are almost as big as the originals already. I have high light on these for 14hrs a day so it must be just the speed they grow at. I was hoping to divide some and pot...

Fe is fine. Has alot of pressure but the regulator regulats the pressure coming out tank side. If it not adjustable its likely to be 1 or 1.5 bar which is likely why you are having trouble. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Yeah. I was going to say pressure. I think very minimal they run at is around 2.5 bar Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Does it work when you first turn on? When you get 1 bps the bazooka is working fine? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

What diffuser atomizer are you using? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Hmm not to sure. I know there are a few people that have grown plants in proportagors with 20w cob search lights. I can always lower and highten the lights to get the correct amount i need. If all else fails ill have a dam good torch lol Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Lol yeah i had seen that thread. I had half his tub of hc. I have a 600 marine strip and some minimal light led strips and they just arnt cutting it. I saw the lense lying atound while having a root about in parts. Looked for a new bulb and bingo found that lol. I cant help having a play. Find...

Hi rebel. Yes this is true and something i thought i may encounter. But then in a car its under the bonnet so it probably doesnt get a massive amount of air circulation. More than around my room though. Fan could possibly be a bit noisy. Its not likely to have been made with silence in mind. If...

I have 1 of these laying around that i brought some time back for led strip. Hopefully it will work on these lights Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121288057046 Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Water not electic Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Didnt spot those. Also they dont list the colour temperature and they run mains voltage. Id rather keep the mains supply out of the way from electric. Lol it did seem mad to use car lamps but they are bright. They might end up like a cheap version of a kessil lol. I just seen the fan on the back...

Hi everyone. I was searching the ebin for some cheap led lights to use for my proporgator. I came across these Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391600530566 I have a light reflector that they will fit into. Ive ordered some but will take some time as there from hong kong...

Hi bert. I blended spiky moss christmas moss and weeping moss together with yogurt mix. The christmas moss and spiky moss has grown well but i cant see any signs of the weeping moss. Not sure if that was but luck or it got out grown by the other 2. Either way it didnt work for me. Sent from my...

Lol cheap easy and comes with free yogurt haha. Great for tiny seeds and plants. Hc was what had floated up in the tank so stuffed it in there lol. Growing nicely under a tmc 500tile [emoji16] Unlike the poor light proporgator in the shed lol Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I think the spring can stretch or be overly compressed. I cant remeber exactly which. It happened to me and i stretched or compressed it a little. Havent had a problem since Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Update. Hc on the right side has almost grown in now. The left side however seems to be the amano shrimps favorite digging ground and i have lost most. Im hoping with time the large remaining patches will spread. Ive been battling terrible diatoms. Daily glass and rock scrub. Also sturring up...

20 days in and some have started to shoot a second leaf. I would defo say they are eriocaulon. No garantee on species yet though. Dissapointing in a way i was looking forward to a lucky dip lol. Seems i got what i actually wanted. Ive planted the "mixed" freebee bag of seeds today so...

Have you tried lynchford aquatics in Farnborough? A small shop but i have found them to have a good selection of fish. Equipment and rocks. Nice little shop. Theres a nice big maidenhead aquatics in bordon aswel. I believe this is one of there flag ship shops and i would say far superior to all...

Photos of anubias nana pangolino Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Well its growing that for sure. Lol. As for being mc im not so sure lol. I think mine is what i was told. Very slow growing and growing in the shape id expect. I have around 24 shoots now. Around about 5mm ling id say and this is 17days in lol Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Now planted in the anubias nana pangolino onto the rocks. Im going off the idea of having just a hc carpet as it just looks to empty. So im going to try adding a few miniature plants around. Nothing that will hide the scape but enough for some veriety in the tank. Any suggestions on some plants...

Quick update. My hc is still growing in and not fully covered yet. This is partly due to amano shrimp and cherry barbs digging it up half the time. Ive brought some anubias nana pangolino to grow along the insides of the rock. I recieved this today and im yet to put them in yet. When i was...

Just some of the in tank diffusers dont require the higher pressure. I think the bazooka and inline among other require more pressure to get going Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Now 14 days on and i have around 17 seeds germinated from my original 15 i ordered?? Theres still some i can see that hasnt germinated aswel so thats a bonus. They do seem to be what i ordered supprisingly. I was ecpecting grass or something. It still could be that though i suppose. I will try...

Is it an in tank diffuser? These usually run quite low psi. Mine is running 40psi for an inline diffuser Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Whats the pressure stating for green zone? On the output gauge? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Sorted then or have non adjustable regs? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I think the same applies with those that they need quite a bit of pressure to get them going? Is it the co2 reg with adjustable pressure? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Is it an inline atomizer? I have to set mine at a minimum of 2.5 bar for it to work correctly Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I now have around 6 germinated eriocaulon. Im still asuming this is what they are and no garantees. They are still to small to take a photo of so hopefully by next week they will be big enough for there photo shoot Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Few more pics of the progress. The hc is growing but pretty slow and maybe up a bit to much. I dont want to drop the light down or put it on for longer just yet as i dont want algae to start. So far ive had minimal diatoms on the rocks and glass but nothing to major. Managed to scrub it off. My...

Hi chris. I used b&q once to cut some ply. Its a free of charge service in there and they will cut it to the exact measurements you require.

No. They have a minimal activation period of 3 mins. I've managed to reduce my flow down to 56.5ml over 3 minutes. There are some timers out there that will activate for 1 second. They are harder to find though. Apparently my brother has found me a couple off eBay and will arrive in a few days...

Yeah. The one had seen originally had cut the rail in half so had 2 half with a mms rail suspended between them. He had 2 1000 tiles which have got to be the same weight as 1500 if not heavier. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Yeah I think I'm going to scrap the idea. Free pumps but they are just way to big for my needs and will end up spending more buying the other parts to make it work. On an up note I could just sell these pumps and buy a pre built unit. I like tinkering though so will probs still just make one...

Looks like they are the equivalent of Williamson 300 series pumps. If so the data sheet says if using 3mm tubing I'll still be pumping 55ml/m I think that's still to high. I could see if they sell a pump head with same size shaft but smaller size rotary head. With 3-4 rollers on. Or scrap it...
