Had this problem myself since i started my tank about 4 months ago, i tried everything but what worked was increasing phosphate to 5ppm a day due to the Tropica soil sucking up all my phosphate more or less as soon as i put it in. I know test kits are usually frowned upon but in this case i...

Have been looking for cheaper solutions for nitrate instead of kno3 to reduce my k levels and found these on my searches mag nitrate mag nitrate Calcium nitrate Calcium nitrate Would like some advice on there suitability and if they are suitable how to work levels.

Notice they do calcium nitrate and also recently magnesium nitrate are these the proper stuff or fertilizer blends?

Just had an email from amazon that the book will not be arriving till at least 16 February 2021 o_O, so disappointed but hey ho looking on the Brightside i still can look forward to reading it one day.

I put my co2 into the return pump and have no trouble getting enough co2 into the tank to drop it more than 1 ph, i just put a cigarette filter into end of co2 tube to break up the bubbles and it works perfectly.

No i dont think i will buy one as the placement is not what i want but i like the idea of a gyre over a wavemaker.

End of tank is my view from my sitting position..so thats a no no..... how about placing it underneath the overflow pointing upwards towards the middle.... that should leave the overflow input area quite calm or am i just trying to talk myself into buying one :angelic:

Yes i agree with you but i really wanted one of the new maxspect jumps and only a little bit dearer than a wavemaker:(

The plan was for it to be packed with epiphytes on a massive piece of wood i have and that would impact on flow plus i was worried about circulation underneath the overflow and to its side. This is the wood roughly put in.

I am thinking of getting a Maxspect jump gyre for my 120 x 50 x 50 aquarium with the overflow on one the side walls but i cant get my head around where i would place it, idealy it would go were the overflow is but for obvious reasons it cant. I dont want the gyre facing the overflow because the...

Thats the stuff....it passed the vinegar test and have had some in a bucket with water the last couple of days and no ppm increase in tds.

Will the lower co2 (15ppm)not result in bba or is it more to do with inconsistant co2

Is there any problems adding yorkshire stones to a aquascape? My partner has just bought some for a rockery and they would look perfect for my upcoming aquascape (mess).

Just bought an Eshopps Eclipse from Usa and it arrived inside 2 weeks,https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Eshopps-Eclipse-Overflow-Box-Kit-Medium/132976060278?epid=1678400958&hash=item1ef5fda776:g:ts8AAOSwFzZbuQoT Duty and everything sorted when you buy it so no surprise bills to pay. Plucking up courage...

Did you reduce your Fx5 hose size to get your atomizer on there? Are you losing any flow?

How about Ati t5 Sunpower they come in at around £300 for the 120cm 4 x 54w from Fastlight.co.uk, you can pick and choose differant tubes to give your perfect colours.https://www.plantedtank.net/forums/10-lighting/1293429-share-your-bulb-combo-thread.html

Yes am a lucky dude:clap:

Yes you are right there but the photo is looking down at the tank through the full width of glass and it will take colours etc from the room and show a little colour and as you can see from the full tank shot it is clear.

I was a tad lucky to win the tank and cabinet on ebay a few weeks ago for the grand sum of £255, and credit for A4L honouring the price instead of cancelling it. Will do a full review over xmas but wont be able to put water in it just yet because of work commitments.

Will measure it when i get home and its all 12mm optiwhite.

Aquariums4life... Just got this from them a couple of weeks ago and cant fault anything about them

Just bought the same model but havnt tried it yet,and the website is poor,hope they catch up soon.

No still on high bubble count. doesn't worry me much now.

will try my best when camera is charged.

Bought 6 young wild rams 10 days ago and already a pair has formed and have just spotted some eggs :jawdrop on some bogwood and the rest of the inhabitants cowering at top corner of tank.not expecting the eggs to hatch before being eaten,but would have loved to see them spawn.sick realy as i...

Strange could it be the mist that the crs dont like? soon as mist stops they get back to there routine of grubbing about soon as it starts they head for a root right at top of tank.,had me panicking then,lol,

drop checker is lime green now,the cardinals and rams are happy but the cherry shrimp arnt happy at all?just thought it was unreal to have such a large bubble count.

My hk reg hasnt got a bar reading scale so have no idea what pressure its reading,buy cheap pay later it seems.

Thanks for quick response,yes i do see the micro bubbles,just,as in they are so tiny you have to look at the right angle into the tank.mmm regulator is a brand new one from hk,might try my older twin stage co2 welding reg that goes upto 5 bar for each stage.

Just put 1 of these in-line with my eheim 2260 in a 4x2x2,is it normal to have to put a very fast continuous stream of bubbles on the bubble counter to get my drop checker lime green?there is way to many to count.i have checked for leaks etc and everything is fine.

Bought three drop checkers from aquarium hk for a total with postage for£6.99,just got a letter from tnt today declaring i owe them £24.32 for import duties :crazy:.looking at a copy of the invoice that came with the bill,aquarium hk has put the value as $65 wtf!!!.tnt are saying you owe us and...

450lts 2 x eheim 2262,3400lph both filled with lava rock/chips Graham

I think what is happening is the shops etc are not getting the stock in as they use to and waiting for an order before they order it themselves,we no its hard these days to make a living and having loads of stock doesnt make financial sense,.but the drawback is the customer is left waiting for...

Just got an email from 1 of them,stating that they have cancelled the order,but havnt refunded my money.grrrrrr. does put you off ordering from uk.maybe i should name and shame these ********,because people on here could get the same treatment.

Already ordered replacements elsewhere,and going through resolution centre of paypal for all three.Funny that they all took payment straight away!!!!

I think its a male too.

Is it just me or dont some companies care at all about prompt delivery.just for instance 1,ordered parts for my 1260 on 10 march,still awaiting delivery. 2.ordered some alfagoma tubing 15 march,still awaiting delivery. 3,ordered an uptake tube for 2260 15 march,still awaiting delivery. Just to...

ooops sorry folks my apologies.please delete my last post.

I have sent an email to jez at poseidon asking him to come onboard and answer any questions you might have.

That is true about the silicone,but its there for a reason,on a rimless 4x2x2 you have to have a silicone thickness the same size as the glass,which is 12mm, really went into this very deeply,because at first i thought you had to use 15mm glass for the tank,but i am assured and can back it up...

Garuf you can always pop round and see my tank for yourself,i only live down the road from you,pm me if your interested.

It took 3 weeks from first email to arriving at my doorstep. regards

I am being totally honest here,i was a little bit more than worried because they were so cheap,and it took me a while to eventually bite the bullet and order,but i must say i am really impressed with the quality especially the sealant,no blobs anywhere and lovely and straight with exactly the...

yep.i have all the dry powders and dont realy wont to go down the mixing it with 1 litre of water etc,dry will do. I thought all the calculators worked on the principle of having high light,thats were my confusion comes from regards

Ei dosing and low light with co2 i have a 4x2x2 that is going to be a low light with co2 and just cant get my head around how much to dose,i no i should set my stall out and go full, half or whatever but would like to know what other people would do

regarding the stand i made it before i found the forum,and with hindsight i wish i had found the forum first,i would have then made it more contemporary,but will stick with it for now and see how it goes.

Thank you,that was exactly what i wanted to hear

got the vinyl background from ebay for £7 delivered,had just put it on when i took the pictures,thats why it looks marked it is drying.

Will turn it into a journal when i get the rest of the stuff i need,i am going for a low light low maintenance scape with pressurized co2,it will have wormcastings and tesco kitty litter as a substrate,with 2 of the 4 54w t5ho of the arcadia pendant about 12 inches above water level,which leads...

Yes i did,its made from colorail from B an Q,its 19mm comes in differant colours and you can get corners of the same stuff making it very easy to put together.

oops forgot to post some pics.sorry about the quality,i no nothing about cameras.

My new tank has just arrived,it is a 4x2x2 rimless made by http://www.poseidons-palace.co.uk/,unfortunately i couldn't afford at this time to go for the starfire glass so i am making do with normal float glass.This will be my first planted tank after a few years hiatus away from aquariums.It...

Put more money aside than you think you need when setting up a new tank,when you have been away from aquaria for years.

Would have thought it would be calcium deposits.

Just ordered 2 lily pipes from aquarium hk,the powermen one,hopefully they will be fine.

Hi Over the last few weeks have been searching for pure wormcastings and eventually found it cheap enough to give it a try,ordered on monday arrived on wednesday,http://www.vermisell.co.uk/shop/116/3/index.htm?gclid=COPh4JLf36YCFQZO4Qodhj2i0w.hope it helps some of you. :D

Anybody had any joy finding something similar to tilex?

Yes the tank is in feet,and will be low light with co2 thro 2 up aqua inline diffusers.

Hi Has anybody tried these at all http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 2036wt_932 I am in the process of setting up my 4x2x2 and i am trying to decide between 2 of these or some lily pipes to go with my 2 eheim 2260.
