    Arcadia Arcpod Bulbs.

    I have the 11W Arcadia Arcpod on my smaller tank, and it comes with the 'Original' bulb, that gives you a slightly pinkish hue. Are there any replacement bulbs that produce a whiter light? As right now google just seems to be throwing up the pink hued bulbs :eh: Cheers!

    Splitting CO2

    I'm just wondering what the easiest way to split one CO2 canister into multiple tanks(96L and 40L) is. Is it literally just a case of putting a Y-splitter on the airline from the reg, and then putting a needle valve inline from each piece of airline? Would I need special Y-splitters, or would...

    Choosing a substrate

    Hey all, I'm redoing a small 20L tank, and want to get things right from the off! I'm wondering what substrates people would recommend? I need about 3L/KG, and have therefore ruled out ecocomplete because I'd be using less than 1/3 of a bag and have no use for the rest. As far as I can see my...

    Foreground selection & plant height

    Hey guys, I was wondering if there's a list anywhere on the internet that splits plants up into their respective heights, or lists them in groups of foreground/mid/back? I know aquahobby do one, but it seems a bit lacking and sometimes incorrect. I'm after some ideas for plants to fill a few...
