    Are these tubes T5 HO?

    My tank currently has an "AquaWhite" T5HO tube and an "AquaRed" T5HO tube, which give a very white light, and a pinkish light respectively. However as the tubes came with the tank and have now 'aged' I can't tell the manufacturer. I've looked on Lampspecs and intend to get an Osram Lumilux 880...

    Reflectors

    So one of the tubes has packed up on my hood. The original tubes in the hood were 1x "AquaRed" (which gives a pinkish hue) and 1x "AquaWhite" (which is.. well, white :) ) Both are T5HO, 39W. I've been looking on the lampspecs website for getting new tubes and I think I'll get the following; 1x...

    Liquid Carbon Offers

    I don't suppose anyone knows of anywhere that currently has liquid carbon products on offer, or soon to be on offer? I need to get some more shortly, and I thought I'd ask before spending the beer tokens, only to regret it just days later - lol Thanks :)

    Replacement T8 tubes

    Hi, the 15W T8 tue over my 60L tank has gone in the last few days. I was originally running an Arcadia Original Tropical Lamp, but I wondered if there were any recommendations on particular tubes to go for, or where to buy? It's a fairly basic tank, with minimal live plants. I had been looking...

    Replacement for Cabomba

    Kind of an open question this one, but here goes... At the moment I have Cabomba in my tank, which I have been using for 'height' without it being too wide, and also it grows and sprouts new shoots prolificly so I can propagate it around the tank, throw out old looking pieces, and not have to...

    Amazon Swords leaves seem thin / transparent

    I've noticed recently that the leaves on my largest Amazon Sword seem to be going transparent. They are a very pale green, (but that could be due to the tranparency) If I place my finger behind a leaf, although you cannot 'see' my finger through the leaf, you can certainly tell that there is...

    Comparing Liquid Carbons (and BBA problem)

    Ok, so firstly I was wondering how / if you can compare the various Liquid Carbon products. At the moment I have only looked at the ones that Aqua Essentials Sells; Easy Life Easy Carbo 'Medium planted' dose is 1ml / 50L, (or 5ml for 250L for ease of comparisons) £19.99 per Litre Seachem...

    AE Trace and Potassium Phosphate on different days?

    Hi, I have my own liquids mixed from dry ferts in 3 bottles of AE Traces, AE Potassium Nitrate, and AE Potassium Phosphate. I vaguely remember reading that the traces and the Phosphate (?) should be dosed on different days to avoid some kind of reaction between the Iron and the phosphate, but I...

    Black substrate for Corys (and plants!)

    Hi I am looking for a black substrate that will be good for corys, but also as I am changing my substrate I figured it would be worth me putting down some plant substrate as well. The combination I am thinking of to try and achieve the right look, with the right results, (and the right price!)...
