Im not sure if I'm low or high with my lighting these days. When i first started it was low but as we learn more and more it seems the lower lighting is more the way forward. I'm running 4x T8's over my 180L Juwel rio. I just happened to check my CO2 last night and lal of a sudden I heard a...

Thanks for the reply George. Maybe I am running it correctly then. I'm not sure that the CO2 diffusion is what it could be though. Do your drop checkers respond in the same way with the up atomizer? Im sure mine are not as light as they were.... perhaps thats just my eyes!

This is very similar to my setup now I have my new filter. Are you using spraybars in here George? If so how do you have them placed? I also note that you have only 2bps for low CO2. If you are using your UP atomizer in this sized tank, how many BPS would you expect to get to the 30ppm? Reason...

You're telling me! I cant get difficult species like Blyxa growing in a high tech tank let alone low tech!

I'm not sure how I missed this tank! How on earth have you got the Blyxa growing so well without any CO2? I cant gekk it going with medium light, EI ferts and CO2!

I always thought you should only keep dwarf puffers alone.

Re: Six years of 'scaping I wish i could say the same. Mines really struggling.

I'm amazed by how clean your tanks look george. How on earth do you do it? Not a spec of algae or detrius in sight!

Re: Six years of 'scaping Blimey... i remember most of them! Looking great as usual. It shows me just how little i have come in a long space of time compared to most people on here! The lack of algae simply amazes me and i really dont know why I cant acheive even close results! Great work...

Thats something I havent been doing so think I'll start to do it. I currently water change using a 15 meter hose and the suction form it isnt enough to power a gravel vac for some reason. I'll have to remove 25l with the vac and go from there i think.

Re: UKaps ADA Showcase Dan, When you say good maintenance, what do you mean? Water changes? I'm interested to know if people with planted tanks use a gravel vac or leave the plants to break down any waste.

Re: UKaps ADA Showcase Fantastic tanks chaps! I do have one question though and this is more evident on George's tank. Everything is simply lush and theres not a single hint of algae, especially on the anubas. How have you managed this? Is it down to your fert routine or your clean up...
