Very impressed with the jebao. Quiet powerful low watts, what more can u ask???

That's pretty nice wood..

Hi, got if on full. I used to hear the hum of the aquamedic in my bedroom. I can't hear this one. I really like the idea of LEDs. So some pics of how you set them up, wiring etc would really be useful. My lfs has a shoal of Altums (ferrybridge aquatics). Look awesome. Post some pics of your...

Hi, how's it going. Need an update on your tank. I got the 9000. All set up and running. Sounds like a PC fan running. Lot higher pitch than other pumps. Much quieter to say it's over two times more powerful. The control is pretty nifty too. Hope u got yours up n running

Hi, thx for reply. I just put my order in for one. What fittings does it come with? I have 1" return hard pipe at the moment. Do I need to get any connectors? Looking good by the way .

Hi, have you had your pump running yet? I have just bought a compact 5000 to upgrade from an aquamedic 3500 but the eheim is quite a bit noisier. Was wondering how the jecod sounded. Thx

Hi, really liking your build. Can you post some pics of your light build. I have a similar size tank with a sump etc and like the idea of moving to LEDs.

Quick question, are you keeping this frozen or just in the fridge? Not sure how long it would keep defrosted? Regards

Try ro-man, They do spares and compatible spares. Regards

Oooooh Nice wood p**n!

Just my pennies worth. My understanding of the 10x turnover guide. Is that this is on fact circulation within the tank, rather than throughput of filters. This comes from marine tanks, where 20 -30 turnover rates are common. This is for water movement rather than filtration. After setting up...

So, I have just found out how the twinstar works. It has a special doohickey that fits inside a thingamybob. This then has a doodaa that presses on a whatchamacallit. Overall it generates two hoohaa's a minute. The effect on subsonic algae is quite ositronic. Its available in three sizes...

On a positive note though. You come to the right place. Regards

Wow, That's a really small tank.!

Had a jiggle, a poke and a shufty of a few bits.

Thanks for the clarification. I was unaware of the low mg content in the salt. Regards

I am following this ei dosing regime. Which has a significant amount of mgso4 as a percentage of the total dose. (This is for 20usg) Sunday – 50% or more Water Change then dose [3/16 teaspoon KNO3] + [1/16 teaspoon KH2PO4] + [½ teaspoon MgSO4] Monday – 1/16 teaspoon CSM+B Tuesday - [3/16...

Hmmm. Thanks for the reply. Under ei dosing. On my 750 lt tank I put in 5 tsp thrice a week. I understand you have a similar size tank. Which would equate to 15 tsp over the week. This would be twice the amount you dose. I understand ei dosing is a suck it and see dosing method. However...

How much mg is "some"? What kind of figure in mg in my water would to be equivalent to ei dosing or half dosing for example. I mean if its 'x' mg this would mean a reduction in dosing of "y". Regards

Morning. My book arrived today. Very prompt delivery. Took a pic of my inscription. Hope you can make it out. Cheers

We have another sofa opposite. Where I get to sit. Anubias are on the left. They are pretty big tho. Cheers

The hole in wall is 750 litres in total. The gas cylinder I think is 7kg but it might be 5kg. It's usually 8 to 10 weeks to replace and the main tank is open top at the mo. I pay £15 for an exchange so works out not too bad. Covered sump is a good idea and make sure the levels in the sump...

Some in situ shots, takes today. Please excuse the messy sofa.

Yes there is that. I use my wife or kids to help out. Though it sometimes is frustrating when they shout through. "Move that one, over there." And of course I have no idea which one, or where, there is. And catching a fish is great fun!

Couple of pics of my co2 reactor and sump.

Jeeeesh. It's amazing what you can pick up at ikea nowadays! Very nice equipment and to be honest it's looks very very nice and shiny. You have plans for your scape yet? Regards

I am liking the alteranthera 'mini, looks in great condition and colour. Hmmmm I may have to make some space. Regards

Annual update . Pics to follow.

I notice you have a discus on your tank. What kind of temperature are you running your tank at? In my experience if you run the temperature too high, some plants do struggle. I will probably be shot down I'm flames tho. Regards

Been a while since my last update. Some pics and a video. Cheers [/IMG]

Having run twin 250w mh over my 5ft marine tank, before I moved to planted I know all about evaporation. Easiest things are: Auto top up - various makes available. Tunze aquamedic etc. just fill reservoir and it's ok for a week or so. Cover glasses; reduce evap by lots Dehumidifier: ebac...

The initial surge from a mh blows the contacts on a mechanical timer. This means it can stick on or off. It will also wreck a digital timer . You need a contactor which is designed for it. I had the same issue when I ran twin 250w over my marine tank...

Hmmm. I must be very fortunate then. I got 6 denisonii barbs about 2" a couple of years ago. I still have 6 and they are now over 4". They are great fish. The colours are wonderful and they shoal all the time. I keep em at 25, and they eat anything I put in. Flake, live food, pellets, they...

Hmmmm. So what impact will running co2 in a tank over time have on the silicon holding the glass together? I would hope little else we would have lots of failing tanks. Your thoughts would be useful though Regards

Hi, I have one of these and it runs as many heaters as you want. http://www.ultimatereef.net/forums/showthread.php?t=241344 Is a good thread to show how to install. If its the same atc 800 I have Cheers

Aye, looks like fun. What sort of timescale are you expecting them to be ready to ship? Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I watch my hole in the tank as its in my living room, most of the evening. My wife sits in front of it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi and welcome to the forums. Am looking forward to your journal . Any hints and tips always welcome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Many thanks for your comments. I will have to get my slr out and do some proper full tank shots. I am still struggling to find an effective co2 reactor. I currently use a 2lt coke bottle with bio balls in the sump. It drops the ph from 7.4 to 6.6 and keeps it there. But I would like something...

Hmm. The substrate is akadama. I use 4 t5 tubes for 7 hours a day on timers. Co2 comes on 2 hours before lights on and off 1 hour before lights off. I use a ph controller to manage the co2 which is a holdover from the marines. The ph is usually about 7.4 in the morning and I run it at 6.6...

The overflow runs into the sump, through 3 large sponge mechanical filters. Then the water runs up through ceramic tubes, then down through siporax. The last two chambers hold the heaters and co2 reactor. I use a 7kg co2 cylinder which I can swap for a full one locally when it is empty, which...

So, i run a four foot tank as the sump, which was set up like this for marines. This has changed into the following; Apologies for the poor pics, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I really wanted a six footer, but when i drew a six foot line on the wall...OMG it looked huuuuge!!!: and so it was agreed by the powers that be, that five foot was the optimum size. It is 58 1/4" by 24" by 24" - why the funny measurements, you may ask.. Well as a typical Yorkshireman, i have...

So long story short I guess i will give you the preamble as is expected. I kept trops, then cichlids, then marines in the 80's when UG filters, tufa rock, Berlin skimmers were popular.... I then got hitched and that put pay to all that. Kids come along, and we go through a two foot cold...

Thought I should finally post some history and pics of my tank.

Just a quick note. When you clean your filter out, don't clean the media out under the tap as the chlorine will kill off all the good bacteria that you will have built up over the last few weeks. The recommendation to get some fairly quick growing stem plants in will help with the new tank...

Fluval Studio 900. Hey. Looks good so far. Like the wood very much. Where did you eventually find it? Looking forward to more updates

Hi and welcome.

There is a maidenhead aquatics on the outskirts of York too. They do substrates.

I got half a dozen of two inch dennisonii barbs 18m ago. I am pleased to say I havnt lost one. They are all now over four inches and are absolutely gorgeous. The shimmery green colour above the intense red is stunning. Also I have found them to be one of the better fish that like to shoal...

Oh and I have saved £90 per month in leccy.

Hi all. I thought I should introduce myself. I have moved from marines to planted tank. So I am running a five foot hole in the wall with a four foot sump. I will have lots of questions and pics to post. Thanks all
