Hi Looking at setting up a custom made tank in the near future size L82 X W55 X D55 cm. It’s going to be low tech this time round but may add co2 at some point so looking for a LED light that I will be able to increase the output should I decide to add co2. I have been looking at the Chihros...

Hi, About three years ago a bought 6 small Golden Lazer Cory’s I now have around 30 of them in a 180 ltr low tech tank. The reason I have around 30 is they won’t stop breeding. On One occasion I took out the eggs and got them to a good size and I thought I could sell them on but all I was...

I am now in a market for some led lights, I like the look of both TMC and the Kessil lighting but I believe they don’t grow reds very well. I have seen some lights on the web by a company called Aquatic life they do a model called the Freshwater Halo which apparently grows reds very well. They...

Trying to find a set of LEDs for my 1800mm x 600mm x 600mm high tech tank, I have spoken to TMC today and they recommended that I get four 1500 tiles. They said they would choose the colour plus but were willing to drop a set of both off at my LFS for me to view them working as some people find...

Hi All, Has anyone ever used Kessil Lighting before. I have a 6'x2'x2' tank, thinking of changing it over to LED Lighting in the summer I have been told I need 3 Kessil 360 Tuna Suns but at 90w each that would not be saving me much on the electric. Do you think 4 Kessil 160's would be...

Hi all, I’ve had a bit of a disaster with my Giesemann Infinity lights, ordered some replacement T5 Tubes but they won’t fit properly they just turn in their housing without locking into position. I’ve tried to put the old tubes back in but they are doing the same. Never had this problem...

Hi Guys, Went to my LFS last week end and there was an 8’ x 2.6’ x 2.6’ tank in there complete with a solid oak cabinet, well I just have to have one of those, it looked great, even better my wife thought so as well so no difficult sell on that score either. Only two factors to resolve...
