Unfortunately it's an early model without a dimmer dial, I'm going to adjust the photo period and have just started dosing co2 again - ran out of gas for a couple weeks. So hoping that should sort it!

@miah431 if you are getting good enough grow and have plants that are too demanding there is a need per say. With the stock light I had I was getting decent growth and growing things like HC Cuba, but was dosing of course. One thing I never had an issue with was algae, which now with the...

Looking good @James Bamford!

Initially the stock light was fine, if a little on the dull side it was able to grow my plants just fine including hc cuba etc.. I have found the kessil A LOT brighter and im dosing ferts more and am seeing good growth on my S.Repens for examples which before wasnt growing as healthily.

Couple of updates: - Added a pic of the plastic lip that holds the top glass cover in place. - Got hold of a second hand Kessil A150W Amazon Sun for a decent price on eBay. - Moved some bits in the tank to open up more space and planted some crypts from the mother plant in the corner as well as...

Hi @Kitbag I have some answers for you :) What is the internal dimension from the front of the glass to the front of the filter, I.e. the usable display part of the tank? It's 12inches / 30 cm from front glass to sump. How are you diffusing your co2? I use a bazooka diffuser which bubbles into...

No problem ;) Yep that's the Koralia Nano 900, what with dampening the flow with the mini spray bar I wanted to make sure I still had good circulation and it does the trick. I haven't had any issues with fish jumping into the skimmer yet! One rummynose did jump into the sump chamber once when...

Absolutely, in my opinion they are one of the tightest schooling fish i've ever kept. With the latest additions they are a little spooked at the moment but I'm sure this will settle down.

Current stocking: 5 Amano Shrimp 3 Corydoras Adolfoi (3 perished) 10 Rummynose Tetra 6 Kubotai Rasbora 1 Otto And i've literally just added these - my Dad shut down a tank so I took the fish: 1 Bronze Corydora 5 Harlequin Rasbora 4 Cheery Barbs

I was also getting a biofilm in the chambers - what I did at the time was put some spare frogbit or salvina in the chambers so they covered the surface 100%, this worked quite well. But in the end I ended up putting some Pothos in all the chambers which also worked - but not as well. The tank...

Hello mate, Yeh its still going, some small changes to the tank. I am using the standard sump, but compressed the sponges a little and added some filter floss into the mix, and a mix of ceramic media that came with and mature media from another tank.I add extra in there as well for more tanks...

Ah that's probably a shorter light as well. To be honest the HC struggled to get going for me, its my first time use ADA Aquasoil and its quite large and soft...which made it difficult for me at least to get the HC to stay put! I would have to almost daily replant pieces that would be floating...

Thanks ;) Yeh i've done the same regarding the sump - compressed the supplied sponges and added some filter floss along with not using those (useless) "slide in" type carbon/media trays they provide and used more media. Also I changed the pump outlet to use a spray bar from another filter to...

Thanks! Time to start trimming a little more ;)

So this is my first attempt and thought I would share my journey here to learn from mistakes (i'm sure I will make many!) and get feedback. Tank is an AquaNano 60 - 60cm long, 40cm depth and 47cm tall. Substrate: ADA Power Sand Special S ADA Amazonia aquasoil ADA Mekong Sand Lighting...

It's 100% over the top :D But i'm going for "safer than sorry" which you can read as - my misses will kill me if it fails!

Not directly related to B&Q but I recently had some wood cut in a local timber merchant (North London) and he spent time understand what I wanted to build, he was interested and understood what I needed - in my case a tank stand to reinforce an IKEA cabinet - that being said it had to be...
