    JBL in line Diffusor

    Got one of these off Amazon at the weekend as it was the only one I could get to fit my 19/25 hoses. Set it all up today after leaving the membrane to soak for a few days and the bubbles are tiny. Far smaller than the bubbles produced by my Aquario neo diffuser I was running before. Not a...

    Connecting Disposable co2 regulator to sodastream

    Must be a mistake on the website then. Il take a trip down over the weekend and have a look. Out of curiosity, how long does your 600g bottle last you? I was going through a bottle a month at 1bps. Looking back at other peoples posts and how long theres are lasting im suspecting I may have...

    I have this D-D co2 kit - https://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/dd-complete-co2-set-p-649.html Was wondering how I'd go about connecting it to a sodastream bottle. Ideally I'd get a fire extinguiser but after phoning around the amount of travelling Id have to do for a refill made it a no go. I see...

    Aquatics Online

    I got the same email couple of days ago and with the way its worded it does sound a bit dodgy. Pretty sure they went into liquidation a few months ago and are now under new ownership/management. Haven't bought from them in a couple of years now though.

    Firemouth?

    Ive kept pair firemouths in a similar tank that size before and I would never put any other dwarf cichlids in alongside them, would have been a nightmare. Also wouldnt be putting that many different types of dwarf cichlids together, again there would be constant fighting, Kribs especially as...

    What Should I Do?

    Looks like an Aponogeton crispus, had quite a few of those in my low tech setup and like you have found out they constantly flowered. I personally removed the flowers most of the time, its up to you though. You fertilize the flower by brushing it with a small paint brush or by dipping it under...
