...is it knackered? When testing for leaks on a new FE my D&D regulator wouldn't go down below 1 bar even with the gas flow turned off and the reg itself emptied. When I sorted out the leak which I had and connected the unit to the tubing etc the pressure reading went up to 3 bar even with...

Hey guys. I've just ripped out a lot of my plants. I ran without CO2 following a technical hitch and things were getting a bit scraggy. Plus crypt wendtii and echindorus red diamond were taking over the tank! The tank is a Rio 180l with stock lighting, CO2 injection and EI ferts. Any way I'm...

Recently my fish nearly died when my timer/soleniod combo failed to turn the supply off for the night. Luckily I only lost a tetra but all the fish were on on the bottom on the tank practically comatose including my beloved Kribs (who haven't spawned since). Thing is I don't understand why it...

Hi there. Does anyone know of a source of nitrile washers so that I can connect my D-D CO2 system to a fire extinguisher without the risk of a leak? Cheers

I have a fairly heavily planted Rio 180l tank with a 1200ex filter. I'm thinking of adding some extra movement using a koralia and am looking for advice on size and placement. The filter intake is in the back right corner where the juwel filter used to be, while the return is an extended spray...

Hi. I've finally got my 180l tank up to something like I want it: Sorry about the reflection! I'm dosing with EasyCarbo (6ml daily), and EI dry ferts (1/2tsp KNO3, 1/8tsp KPO4, 1/8tsp trace, 1tsp MgSO4 all three times a week). Does this sound about right? Filter is a Tetratec ex1200...

Looking for help with choosing a backdrop plant for a curtain style effect along the back of my tank. Currently have Vallis in there but it isn't doing too well. In fact I've never had much success with it. Running with about 2WPG. Currently using EasyCarbo with no injection (since I can't...
