I had Option 2 on about July 2008. And found the problem before Xmas since a JBL 500g bottle lasted about 5 days. The solenoid sounds a bit when it turns on/off..a quite click noisy...thats all , and so there is no prob with it. The only problem is the Regulator. The gas was leaking from the...

don't know how that Hydor Flo work/help to make a circulation. If you already have it then let us know.

well not quite true what i said. i've ordered one external heater which was made by Hydor and it worked fine. other than that i would not buy a thing from Hydor.

any thing made by Hydor Flo i would not recommend to you as they are noisy.

They are white small stones...i expect in few weeks the front will be filled by Gloss and Riccia...and the stones will be invisible i guess... :D

Hi ceg4048 I dosed a bit extra Trace, Fe, KN03. Also increased CO2 rate near twice comparing the rate in the former tank. My double drop checker has never got near to yellowish. I see no or very little pearls on Riccia and other plants. I changed 60% water on Saturday. The leaves swang and...

It is amazing to see that a good water circulation created more algae problems. A tank is just a week old of rescape, and I added a power powerhead to create water circulation and it definitely improved. But aglaes grow mad. I guess powerhead does not work for me... ceg4048, can you enlighten...

Re: Discuss playground tank - rescape Ok...had have some priorities to do last week so couldn't continue the journal. Today I continue where I’ve left and liked to show steps of planting the plant, accompanying with photos. In brief at this stage a slate already tied up with Hemianthus...

Decided not to use powerhead any more today. I don't see any sign of algae free after 2 weeks. In fact the plants were washed out and algaes are growing over the plants everywhere. I think the powerhead i've got last week made water circulation very strong hence there is no CO2 remained in the tank.

Bought an Aquaclear 802 powerhead for £36 in a LFS. It worked fine but noticed it made a lot of noises and vibrations in the tank. At night time the noise properly hears louder than daytime. Anyone has a powerhead and is it a good one? I don't like it in there as it makes the tank look less...

Re: Discuss playground tank - rescape Yes there's a mountain of them...I should have offered them on ebay or to ukaps members for free. :D

thanks john. what are the actual dimensions? and how much does it cost?

Hi all I'm after a new openning tank for a replacement of current tank: http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=2390 http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=2504 Due to limited spaces a new tank must be 120cm w, up to 60cm d, and max h up to 60cm, or a total height of cabinet, tank...

Re: Discuss playground tank - rescape Part two - plants selection and a final layout of the tank, and a brief summary why i think I chose Riccia over Glosso for a foreground this time. I got a bit frustration when looked at a huge mountain of Glosso, knowing that they're very healthy and...

Re: Discuss playground tank - rescape Only problem with SkyHD is there are not many channels at the present, plus £10 per month extra add-on. It's worth to have it.

The tank is rescaped after just about a month of dosing dry powders and EI. The glosso and Riccia grew so healthy after NPK added; however Java ferns and moss were not doing well in the tank. Algae presenting, lack of water circulation, and a crowdedly plant scape are among the reasons why I...

Well..you're almost right about that, JAmesM. The glosso are growing thicker every day... And guess what...Rescaping...and is what i am going to do... Here is a final photo to show what my tank looks like before it going to be rescaped:

Thanks for your suggestions and i hope you are pleased with the photos. My photograph skill is very bad... Here are some latest photos. Foregournd plants are growing madly & healthy. I pruned about 6 big leaves of Nymphaea lotus (zenkeri), plus 1 tiger lotus. Cleaned the glass last night as...

Hi johnyy70 The adults are about 6 inches, and the smaller ones are about 3' - 3.5'. The small ones putting in the tank about 8 months and the adults putting recently. I've started keeping Discus about 8 months so I can only give some advices based on my good & bad experiences and mistakes. I...

Ceg4048 I think you're properly correct about the liquid doses I used before. The Seachem bottles are quite expensive but not quite effective results in return in my tank. I knew there was something wrong with the doses because the plants were yellowish, wholes on the leaves etc. I was afraid...

Below are the photos to illustrate algaes present in the tank: Old photos taken last months before EI & dry fertilisers were introduced: A week after dry fertilisers & EI: After two weeks: In the third week: The Nymphaea lotus (zenkeri) was rearranged on the left hand side of...

First at all I would like to thank you for your kindly complements and secondly thanks for your suggestions. - Ceg4048 The tank parameters are in good balance hence there is no sign of FE deficiency. However plants were suffering Fe deficiency before as UV unit was on and Seachem liquids were...

Hello. This is my one year old tank and still i have alot to learn especially how to compact algaes & why black peppers appear in the Discuss body. Dimensions: Aquatlantis 47" x 16" x 20"/120 x 40 x 50 cm, Volume 240 l./53 gal./63 US gal. Fish: 2 x 6' Chequerboard Pigeon, 1 x 3'5, and 2 x...

I live in South East London, Hackney. I've been looking for a loal shop which sells the bottle and the bottle can be refilled at the local shop. Very strange that i could not find one in yell.co.uk. Oh there is one, BOC, near blackwall turnel. I ran and spoke to the telephonist, and he said the...

Thanks lstratton. It sounds very simple isn't it? Well i hope it will be. I was worry about the openning horn step. I though it could blow off if i don't have clues. I will order the compoments sometimes this week or so. Do you think the bottle you had on ebay is a good one? I've never buy any...

Hi James Thanks for the links. I will look forward to setup a new FE system. You bought the pub/club bottle from Maison Maurice, did you go there and see the bottle yourself and tell them what you wanted with the bottle? Did you ask Maison Maurice for a specific CO2 bottle for plant growing...

Need a FE system Hi James, and hi everyone JameC, where did you buy your pub FE? I've thought about using FE few months ago but i was very scared and perhaps the main reason is i have no idea what components come with it, and how & where the refilled bottle can be refilled. Another reason is...

Hi lstratton and everyone, Istratton, glad to read that your FE system is now working. I can't wait to setup one for my Aquatlantic 230l planted tank. I have two Natual Plant Sytems running but there are not enough CO2 for my tank, and also there is no activator & stabilizer package left at the...
