Sorry i dont have a link mate but will try my best to find one for you.

Ive got a Bio-Pur, German or Dutch i think, cant really fault it other than the reflector design is a bit basic, its got 3 T5 tubes and only cost me 40 pounds for a 2 foot one from e-bay. Best bargain ive ever found i think.

The T5-PC bulbs sit on brackets directly over the water about an inch from the top of the tank covered with a reflector, there is obviously some light spill but its not as bad as you would expect from a very crude quick fix. Its the interpet twin 36W starter unit and clear brackets on the tank...

Co2 about 3-4BPS and Drop Checker yellow at lights on, im dosing james PMDD+PO4 at 4ml daily and at least one WC a week, high biomass with Myriophyllum mezianum, Rotala rotundifolia, Pogostemon helferi, Glossostigma elatinoides, Lilaeopsis brasiliensis and Java moss, the tanks a 14-8-8 inch...

I use the twin 36W PC T5 Interpet unit on my 3 Gallon, been on since before xmas and all good so far.

Thanks for the reply. I stuck one in my 400ltr and it looks nice, and the plants dont seem to mind, im sure they have been growing faster since i added it but thought it was just my imagination since its only been in a few days.

ive noticed these tubes with a high cr rating and advertised as being designed for indoor use by people suffering from SAD, does anyone know if these would be suitable for the planted tank, they are in the CEF catalogue.

Thanks alot ceg, i now know the algae issues i had were BBA and BGA caused by poor circulation in some areas of the tank i also had some staghorn and i think that might have been caused by me deliberately disturbing the crap from the substrate and hoping it will be sucked into the filter instead...

Thanks for all the help, i dont mean to be a burden LOL. Well now im going to look and find out what type of algae it was i was fighting, if i got the Eden external with glass lilly pipes do you think it would be ok for my betta since im aiming for a good amount of plants, so there should spots...

I am dosing 2ml of flourish excel a day, i was dosing 5ml a day to combat algae but my wisteria was dying off and the algae was gone so cut the dose down, the lights dont come on till 2pm and i unplug the airpump between 8-9am so the dropcheckers light green for lights on, do you think the co2...

Could it be poor distribution of co2 as its a betta tank and has a small HOB filter with 200lph rating, i have raised the water level really high as this seems to help it flow out into the tank rather than fall straight down towards the inlet, altho the diy system is far from perfect for...

Thanks for the reply, the co2 is far from great and is only a diy system but i would love to upgrade it to a pressurised system and bought all the proper glass diffusers and bubble counters with the intention of upgrading to pressurised when i understand it all a bit better, so i might go for it...

Im looking to upgrade the lighting on my nano, its currently got 3 9W Arcadia arc pods, the tank size is 14-8-8 inch, i would like to make it a bit brighter as the glosso is growing a bit leggy but the bulbs are at least a year old and 2 of them succesfully grew glosso before so they could be...

Im sure ive read a thread on here about juwel i-bar light systems failing and them being drilled to access the starter, does anyone know what im on about, its for a old flatback hex juwel aquarium, the sticker on the unit says something about how if 1 bulb fails the unit will not work even tho...
