    Juwel heliolux

    I see Juwel are now selling "Multilux" LED lighting systems as standard on new tanks. This seems a very different approach to Helialux. Does that mean Helialux is now obsolete? The Multilux LED units have the LEDs in replaceable tubes. (But apparently these can't be used on a T5 light unit...

    Juwel Vision 260 LED: Helialux 1200 or Aqua One J-bar 240?

    I'd like to convert from tubes to LED soon, anyone in a position to do a comparison of these two? The J-bar is £50 cheaper and has a built-in timer. Also, it's 66W as opposed to 54W. More is better as I'd like to try brighter lights when I convert to LED. (Although if I need more, I'm thinking...

    New set-up, problems after first two days

    Forgot to mention, my PSI readings have stayed high, so far, since I loosened the connection, so it looks like that problem is solved.

    New set-up, problems after first two days

    I agree it's usually not going to make sense to import yourself, the issue is not so much VAT as the fee the courier charges for clearing customs. And of course there are other disadvantages, in particular if you need to return or replace things. It looks like the bubble rate I'm now getting is...

    New set-up, problems after first two days

    My regulator is this one. (Don't anyone get excited by the price, it doesn't include VAT/import costs.) http://aqua-labs.com/shop/co2-acessories/regulator-solenoids/al-sr-rg-s-1.html My resolution not to fiddle didn't last long, I loosened the adaptor connection to the bottle until the needle...

    New set-up, problems after first two days

    I decided to set up CO2 on small (30L) tank, equipment ordered from Aqua labs, looks identical to that sold by CO2 art and CO2 supermarket. Simple regulator with solenoid and needle valve, adapter for disposable CO2 bottles, plastic bubble counter, 2 metres of clear tubing, 45mm Atomic atomiser...

    hydrocotyle sp japan

    I'm in a similar position to the OP, just aquired some, need to know how to look after it. I've just "planted" the whole 4-5cm diameter clump in one place, by pressing it down and drizzling some sand over it which seems to weigh it down. I don't mind waiting for it to spread and occupy space as...

    Using a ladder in a Vision 260

    Looks like an interesting option. I can't tell if it could be connected to the output of a Juwel pump, but if it could you'd need to add a separate pump for circulation, and if you are going to add a pump then you might as well add it to the CO2 and leave circulation to the Juwel. (I have my...

    Using a ladder in a Vision 260

    That's where I've ended up, after trying most other methods for dissolving CO2. I'm currently reviving a neglected Vision 260 that was set up several years ago. It had a D-D regulator set which I'd been using with 3.2kg bottles supplied by London Beer Gas. The set came with a small ceramic...
