Bargain!

As Phil said, ice cream tubes.

the green machine? Amazing shop to go to if you have not been.

Sealed it should be fine. Open to the atmosphere, the formation of carbonic acid may have an effect on the kh. As said above its cheap but also its just one of your tools to monitor CO2 levels so do not stress

They do look normal but i tend to steer clear on postal orders as iv been disappointed in the past, i know its not realistic for some. I am lucky enough to live near the shop and the stock is amazing, always satisfied

If you make a DIY spray bar. Ensure the area of the holes you drill are equal to or greater than the area on the original filter pipe. If you do not it will restrict your flow. I did a custom bar. Its works a treat, get CO2 bubbles everywhere.

the up atomisers are excellent.

I soaked mine then scrubbed with a brush (you wont get every last bit of mud) I like the staining also, more interesting :)

The custom spray bar won't reduce flow providing the area of the outlet holes you drill are equal to or greater than the area of the filter piping. I make a custom one last week. Works an absolute treat. Very effective distribution

You could buy a cheap pvc pipe and make a custom spray bar the length of the tank. Very cheap.

Have to say, as an Chemistry teacher i love the application on Chemistry that a high tech fish tank brings :) Some great information

It does look like sodium thiosulfate will remove chloramine but will produce Ammonia and HCl as a product. The more i read the more i want a RO unit :P I wonder if the retail product have anything else in them.

monochloramine could affect fish in low concentrations. Might get away with it normally but if the water company boost the dose.....

Can never find a picture when you need one! It was a tank with thousands of tetras, overstocked to the extreme.

reminds me of that neon tetra tank that was posted. horrible...

Lovely tank. thought i had my layout sorted until i saw this!

Inspired me too. I struggled to get anything but white pvc. So I bought 1m of 16mm eheim ridigd tubing from the net. So I will get the set up sorted on the horrible white tube before I drill the proper stuff!

So who do we think will win? My money is on Wales to win, but England to take the six nations on points!

I saw the skateboard ramp episode and thought the exact same thing. Anything to make a bit of tv

Thanks, good to know. I will have to keep a FE stocked.

Brilliant thread! Left the heater on while changing water. What's the sizzling? Oh...... Smash. .... Run to shop for a new one! Common one but it makes me laugh.

If only it was an hour, I always seem to come out with another item on the wish list ;)

Welcome, have you popped into thegreenmachine in Wrexham yet? should be a massive journey if you live in Cheshire? Definitely worth the journey to see some amazing planted tank up close.

welcome, Good to have someone else from Wales on the fourm :)

Interesting. Pressure does stay fairly constant until nearly empty.

So did you go for the up 165? Looking at getting one myself, take it you went ebay if your flying HK airways?

very nice colours and textures in there! Full frontal now?

lots of people get caught out. There all at it; amazon prime anyone??

Interesting read. I seem to have gone the other way (low-->high tech), and your tank given me some excellent ideas for my new tank. Looking forward to see what you can do with a basic setup :) thanks

Looks good. I like the gnarly piece of wood. I only missed the same problem with ammonia when the green machine guys pointed, lucky escape!

Again big thanks! I didn`t even know those mixer tap fittings existed, should make life a lot easier. I currently use the barrel method but its just another step id rather get rid of :)

Had that problem too. Drilled my spray bar to stop it creating a tornado in the tank, now the flow is not great thanks to massive swords :P

Big thanks Its helpful to see links to up to date item links, instead of trying to work out what that item was from 2011 :P

Love the swords but they do overshadow things very quickly
