That's true. Unfortunately big tanks cost more. I remember seeing a post on a marine forum, this guy had a 6 ft marine tank and was running at 50 quid a month just on electric!

The heat the pump gives out will help you save on the heater being on longer! Seriously. Unless you want to spend a few hundred quid on a dragon pump which has good head height and low wattage, then worrying about 80w on a large tank isn't worth it. My 100g marine tank was costing about 20 -...

Thanks for that. I've looked at green machine and that does appear to have the best plants. Aqua essentials most of there plants I want are typically out of stock!

Can anyone recommend some good online aquatic plant supplies? I've done the usual google search but would like some recommendations from people who have brought from them. Thanks

Get s ehiem 5000l an hour pump. Nice and quiet and can be adjust if you think the 5000l is two much. You will also lose done turn over due to the head height. Each pump manufacturer has a different loss.

I try to support local uk companies as well, but when the cost is much cheaper for a similar product them I'm afraid the pound wins!

Re: 350 litre, how to dose EI whilst I'm on Holiday? Looks amazing. Def given me some ideas for my tank.

Thanks for that :) I'm just hoping it will be half as good as some tanks on here, as they truly are stunning. I have three vallis plants at the back right just behind the large bog wood. But thanks for offer.

Hi yes it's hi tech with co2 from a diffuser.

I've keep fish for many years and the last fair few was keeping marine fish. Although marine fish are colourful there is still something about a planted tank that can't be beaten. The set up consists off: 4x2x2ft tank with sump 2 x 150w halide lighting Autotop up unit 3000lph return pump...

Need a bit of advise please :) My tank water volume is about 450L, only has a few plants at moment and two medium size bits of bog wood. I pre soaked the wood but it still leaches, would doing a daily 60l water change be too much? Pic of the tank, just waiting to order some more plants, will...

Should that be blue not enough, green just right, and yellow too much?

:) hope so!

I've not had any problems once its set at correct bubble speed. Used it for a calcium reactor on marine tank and once set never really adjusted. Been set on planted tank for over a week now and not adjusted and kept perfect bubble count from day one.

I use the Tmc regulator / solenoid set. Used one for a few years. Once you get used to the fine tuning its very very easy at a good price.

Hi yes it's a 3000l pumped upto the tank. I also have a ecotech vortec, in main tank. Bit of an overkill but it was from my marine days!

Using a new jet 3000 return pump.

You mean just put the co2 line by the return pump?

You mean just put co2 line near intake of return pump?

I've got a disc diffuser rated for 400l. And a co2 drop checker. Working well and sitting nice and stable.

One think I need confirming is the Tmc regulator and solenoid, it has two dials one is showing 70bar and other 2bar. Is one pressure of co2 cylinder and other the working pressure through regulator?

Yeh I bet! Luckily I can get my hands on them from work so no problem. (Thankfully!)

Hi been looking at the website for a few weeks so thought it would be best to sign up and say "ello"! Im in the process of setting up a 100g sumped tank with 2 x 150w halides, co2 injection, UV and a ecotech vortech. All the above was used for my previous marine set up but as nice as a marine...
