    Empty Fire Extinguisher Disposal

    I'll look in to it after lockdown has ended. I did find a local guy who could supply me extinguishers but I bought the last one online due not being able to drive there. He might refill be able to it.

    Empty Fire Extinguisher Disposal

    Hi Guys, I just replaced my first empty 2kg fire extinguisher with a full one. What do you do with the empty ones if you have bought them online? Also my first one lasted 49 days on a 180 litre tank. Is that a typical sort of period? I was hoping it would last longer may be 2 - 3 months. I...

    Will cyanobacteria go away when tank settles?

    Thanks for everyone's replies to my question. I hadn't realised there had been so many since I last looked. I have gotten rid of the cyanobacteria now. I used UltraLife Blue-Green Slime Stain Remover which did the job. I have also planted quite heavily and renewed the sponges in my filter. I...

    Flow

    Hi, I can't view that post. I don't think I have been a member here long enough.

    Flow

    Hi thanks for your reply. I do have CO2 in the tank which is why I am interested in flow. My powerheads are Hydor Koralia Nano 900 - I have no idea of flow shape. I was considering switching to an external filter but the problem is the stupid design of the Juwel 180 cabinet does not give you...

    Thank you. The answer I hoped for.

    Flow

    I see lots of posts saying that you need a good flow and that it is recommended that your filter can cycle the tank 10 times an hour. Is that filter recommended just to get a good amount of movement in the tank, or do filters do a better job of actually filtering the water with a 10X flow rate...

    CO2 suppliers Cheltenham/Gloucester

    I am sorted now. I have found a local supplier of fire extinguishers who sold me a 2kg one for £24. So much better value than the tanks the aquatic shops sell.

    Recommend me a reliable regulator

    The CO2Art regulator arrived today and I've got a 2kg fire extinguisher hooked up to it. So much better than my old Dennerle 500g setup.

    Will cyanobacteria go away when tank settles?

    Thanks for your replies. I have just taken the floss pad out and it was quite dirty and had only been there about a week. The filter flow definitely improved. The sponges have been rinsed in tank water recently but they are pretty old so I will get some new ones. Would running an air stone at...

    Will cyanobacteria go away when tank settles?

    Hi, I have a Juwel Vision 180 aquarium that I've owned for quite a few years. Until recently I have been neglecting it with water changes only every 6 weeks or so, but the fish seemed happy and the small cryps and giant Vallisneria was growing alright with just the standard Juwel T5 lights...

    CO2 suppliers Cheltenham/Gloucester

    Hi, I was wondering where members in the Cheltenham/Gloucester area source their CO2. I have seen the sticky thread but it seems to date from 2008 and wasn't sure it is still relevant. Are 2kg fire extinguishers the best option? I know Aquajardin and Aquatic Habitat supply it, but I was...

    Recommend me a reliable regulator

    Hi, I have an old Dennerle regulator that I think is faulty and would like to replace it. I think it leaks even though I can't detect the leak. A 500g bottle has almost run out in a week with only 2 bubbles a second for 8 hours a day. I have only just set CO2 up again after a few years and I...

    Hello from Cheltenham

    Hi, I have had aquariums since I was a boy. I've neglected my current Juwel 180 vision for the last year or so, but now I am trying to get it looking good with planting and I have joined this forum for advice.
