I like my water superclean so I'm using not 1 but 3 white filter pads in the Juwel filter every week. 3 in the same time :lol: Sometimes I change it after a few days.
Don't know why is it so dirty, I have low bio-load. Am I removing only the bad things or some good stuff as well?
Ok, I've built this one in the afternoon. All my measurements worked out well so I'm quite pleased :D
My question is do you think it's strong enough to hold a RIO 180? I still have 2 other legs which supposed to go in the middle, but I rather leave that space opened.
Here are the pics...
Hi!
I’m having some trouble with my crypts. Leafs start growing well but once they reach a good length the colour turns darker green and in a few weeks almost brown. I was suspicious about the CO2 but it seems fine (lime green drop checker). Upped my PO4 to around 9ppm but still no results...
Sometimes when the CO2 turns on the bubbles come around 1 bps and sometimes 2-3 bps. Do you think it's the needle valve or maybe the solenoid? I'm using normal silicone airline, can that be the problem? Don't use diffuser, a pump breaks the bubbles.
Does anyone have any of these pumps? I'm thinking about to get one but can't decide. The compact+ is cheaper, smaller and more powerful (on paper) but the universal somehow looks more reliable to me. Maybe because of the size. :)
I have a Newjet pump which supposed to pump out 1200 lph, the...
Hi,
I'm just about to mix my own EI but don’t understand something. Because this will be the first I'm going keep everything in separate bottles in the first few months to see what happens.
What I don't understand is the added amount of Phosphate. James and ceg advises the concentration...
Hi
I'm trying to grow Eleocharis parvula but they does not seem to develop at all! :?
I use tropica substrate and covered it with about 5-7 cm coarse sand, but it looks like the roots don't reach the substrate.
Can this be the problem?
So
I'm having trouble understanding my new CO2 system. :?
I set it up as the big book says but something just isn't right. I'm using a drop checker with the 4dKH and the Hagen PH test kit, adding about 2 bps of CO2 and the checker seems to be all right. It's green-ish. But when I check the PH...
Hi,
The subject tells everything. I'm just curious who does it how! :D
Do you guys age your water? If yes for how long? I age 40 litres for a few days in a big plastic bin. When I fill it up(usually on friday afternoons) I add some Tetra Aquasafe and keep it circulating until sunday. When the...
Hi all!
I have replaced the sponges to JBL SintoMec in my rio 180 filter. My question is can I get rid of the nitrate and/or the carbon sponges? I'm not sure if the rings will completely remove all nitrates and chemicals. Advice please!
Hi All,
First timer :(
I need some advice guys! I have a new setup (about 6 weeks old) and in the first 2 weeks everything was fine. The problem started when I went for holiday for 3 weeks and flatmates forgot to add the TPN!! Now I know who my mates are! :) When I came home I saw that the...
