I just picked up this EI starter kit: http://www.aquariumplantfood.co.uk/fert ... r-kit.html I have a low light (1wpg, 90w T8 lighting over 350litre Juwel trigon tank). i use pressurised co2, and have been using the allinone fert from the same place up until now. Going by the instructions, i...

I started out my tank a couple of months ago, and i didnt realise exactly what i was doing, until i read up more and found this place! Now the dilemma i have is, my tank is hi tech, sort of. Let me explain, its a juwel trigon350, low light running T8 lights with reflectors at 1WPG- 90w in...

I picked this plant up a few weeks back, its now dying back towards the bottom, but am still getting good fresh growth from the top. Also, could someone confirm the name please, it had no label on it.

I started up my first planted tank coming up to a couple of months ago, and have been using AquariumPlantFoodUK's AllinOne Fert. Is there any other method of using ferts which is cheaper than this method? My tank is 350litres, so i get through quite a bit. Ta

I started up my first planted tank a couple of months ago, all was going well till around 2 weeks ago. I started to get algae on some of my plants. i think its either BBA or either hair algae. i've taken some pics to help identify. The tank is a Juwel Trigon 350, along with the internal...

Just got my TMC PRO Regulator last night, hooked it all up, and it looked as if it was working yesterday. After reading up on suggestions made here, it was recommended i would need more co2 injection. i started on 1BPS. so i just tried fine tuning the needle valve, except this is not making...

I finally got my pressurised co2 going today. I have the dropchecker in the tank installed-opposite end to where the diffuser is in the tank . After how long can I expect this to change colour towards green (currently blue). I have started on 1bps on the bubble counter. Is this enough?, I didn't...

I was keeping malawis for a number of years, and had a change of heart and fancied the planted route. For the last few weeks or so, have been busy with this. Its a juwel Trigon 350. Open to any ideas, on how this could be improved?

I just picked up all my bits from AE, to get my FE CO2 setup. There is no sign on the bubble counter, to say what is the inlet/outlet. This bubble counter has an inbuilt check valve, and im not sure which side is which. here's a pic: i was hoping to connect this all up in the...

I picked up a new 'red sea' drop checker from ebay. Now, i realise to make use of this efficiently i need to use 4dkh solution. The drop checker came with its own solution (blue in colour), is it safe to assume that this is ok to use with standard 4dkh solution as opposed to the premix one...

I thought i could get away without co2 in my aquarium, but it seems it would probably benefit from the addition of co2. Initially i was going to go the jbl route, but considering i can save quite a bit by the FE route, ive chosen to do it in this manner. I was going to get the tmc pro...

I have recently started out my low tech planted aquarium, but have some questions on co2. my lighting is 1WPG, and i am dosing with the all in one fertiliser from ''aquarium plant food UK' every few days. My plants are Vallis/Anubia/Crypts/Java Fern/Moss Tank is a Juwel Trigon350. I have 2...

I jut joined up. My background is i have a Juwel Trigon 350, which i had malawis running for around 7-8 years. I had a disease outbreak and unfortunately this killed the vast majority of my fish. So i took the opportunity to convert the tank to planted community tank. Now, i have changed...
