    Not your usual Grobeam mounting bracket - Anyone recognise?

    Actually that is my photo of our TMC tiles when we first set them up in 2011. I used standard suspension cable with the anchor, only I threaded it to another style anchor nut that fit into the heat sink. Made things very easy. :)

    Destiny by Josh Sim 2013

    There is nothing I can say that has not been said already. The tank is spectacular. The amount of hardscape and plants is really impressive to me the most.

    the master at work

    Watching a master artist and huge team create huge scapes like this with perfection from start to finish is inspiring. On a side note, was that a 120cm tank with HC or Monte Carlo?

    Re: 120 x 55 x 55 @ 6 weeks. Why you should syphon! You are a very brave man to siphon such a great carpet. Most folks would suck it right off the substrate. How do you manage to do this without pulling HC out at the same time?

    Needle Valves within the UK

    That valve posted above has plastic valve seats and because of this the BPS will fly all over the place with ambient room temperature. Your better off spending a little extra coin on something nicer. You dont need anything ridiculous like a metering valve with micrometer, but something made...

    New TMC Mini LED 400

    Did you hook yours up to the controller? I only assume this due to the intensity level, just wanted to be sure.

    New TMC Mini LED 400

    I just received our cargo of TMC and installed one over a 30C. Luckily I have this light suspended because it packs a massive punch. Sorry for the poor quality iPhone photo.

    New TMC Mini LED 400

    From my research they are compatible with TMC controllers. There is a link to PFK in the first post that has a decent write up.

    Overnight CO2

    Its no problem, you can either dose co2 slowly 24/7, or you can also have an air pump come on at night for night time aeration for fish and plants.

    "vitro cup" plants. anyone tried them?

    Also, how easy is it to ship these through borders, UK-US? :)
  38. Orlando

    "vitro cup" plants. anyone tried them?

    Thats about the same here. Stems usually number for 40-100 easy. The Hairgrass is enough to plant a 60cm tank very well from the start.

    "vitro cup" plants. anyone tried them?

    I think the portions are rather nice, however the price is not as attractive compared to standard aqua plants.
  40. Orlando

    "vitro cup" plants. anyone tried them?

    We are just now seeing them in the US. They are packed in plastic sealed bags with vitro media. Pretty cool, but not enough assortment, that I have seen. Shelf life is amazing, and no bugs/algae/snails or tons of cost involved for LFS

    Cleaning algae on ceramic disk diffusers

    Its fine, you can remove and rinse in fresh water afterwords if you like too. You can even use a mix of 50/50 bleach and water, followed with a thorough rinse in your favorite dechlorinator.

    If your bottom bracket knocks its likely you have either one of 2 things. 1. You have a loos pack bearing system and your bearings/bearing has a flat spot and your spindle is riding that rough spot. Cant fix this, just yank it and put a new one. 2. If you have a sealed BB then its either a...
