I've got a 150cm, 450l tank with two filters running at the moment, however I'm not convinced I've quite got the dispersion quite right. As mentioned, I've got two external filters running up to spray bars attached to the back of the tank. I've attached the inline diffuser to the filter exit...

Hi, Having spent many hours looking across this site (and others), I've decided that my tank needs a bit of an overhaul. Currently it looks like this : As you can see, whilst there is plenty of growth, it's all a bit hap-hazzard and doesn't really follow the golden rule ! Anyway, I'm...

Just started using the EI method and was wondering how/if I should still be adding the occasional cheeky dose of iron (using ferropol or suchlike) ?

Just started with EI dosing and noticed increased nitrate levels when doing my weekly water tests. Is this OK for the fish (Discus) ?

Have just fitted an up aqua inline diffuser, however I'm yet to see any bubbles appearing ... the bubble counter slowed right down and i had to turn up the flow from the CO2 tank to get them going again, but, as I said, I couldn't see any micro bubbles. Then I looked at the pressure gauge and...

I'm trying to get my head around improving the planting and 'scaping of my discus tank. I did the usual thing of buying some plants from MA and, after planting, just throwing away the names of the plants ... now I just need to figure out what plants I've got in my tank, so I can get started :D...

This came with JBL CO2 kit (profi set 2). According to the instructions, I should be using this with aquarium water, whereas the view from this forum is I should be using a 4kh solution & bromo-blue. Does this mean that this test kit isn't using bromo-blue, and is actually testing something...

If I follow the EI guide it says that I should do a 50% water change once a week. My tank is approx 400L, so that's a lot of water to change in one go. My current regime (this tank is a discus tank) is 3 water changes a week of approx 80L each time - how would this affect the EI routine ?

OK, so I've been using a variety of bottled fertilisers for my tank (currently Ferropol weekly and Ferropol 24 daily), but am considering going down the "DIY" route for my fertilisers. I've spent quite a lot of time looking at various posts and websites (James' website is particularly useful)...

I'm running 2 external filters (Eheim 2076 rated at 1600lph and an Aquamanta 400 rated at 1400lph) in a 60x24x18 tank. By my calculation, this is about 400l, so the flow is about 7.5 times the water volume (on the basis both filters are working at max capacity, which is unlikely !). Is it...

Hi there, I'm new to this forum and am after some advice (after lurking around and reading lots of very useful articles). I've got a planted discus tank that is in need of a bit of tweaking to help the plants grow better and to reduce the amount of algae I get. As such, I'm going to play with...
