AWB My Co2 reagent is green in its colouration and once mixed with the 4dkh sloution it turns blue, then depending on co2 levels within the water it either stays blue or goes through the colour change to lime green when submerge, if I remove the dc and observe the colouration against a white...

Hoggie Did the above happen when you slowly turn on the co2, mine did the same the other week after I had fitted a refilled bottle, My initial thoughts were that "how come this did not happen previously" - so I opened the tap quickly, some gas vented then stopped, I look at the gauge and it...

Other than another filter - have you thought of spliting the water intake pipe into two - two intake tubes in each corner of the tank - pipes attached then a "Y" piece and then another pipe form the base of the "Y" to the filter unit. That is if you are happy with the flow produced by the out...

Paulus May I ask what / where does the clear pipe that is attached to the air drain tap go to - this is the tap on the right hand side of your reactor. You should open this to allow any trap air within the reactor. Regards paul.

When I clean my filter media I have two 25 litre plastic tubs which I fill first still using my method, once my tubs are full the rest of the water goes away via the plug hole. Then whilst the tanks refilling I clean the filter unit out with the 50ltr of saved water. During the summer I use my...

Luke Why dont you fit an isolation joint on the returning water pipe. When its water change day switch the filter unit off, switch the taps off, undo the joint so you have two halves, attached another half joint with has a piece of hose pipe attached - so one end of the hose its attached the...

What happens if there is a problem with the extension once its been superglued :thumbdown: Nick On the back of the extension there should be two slot - these slots accept screws - you could put small wood screws into the cupboard and attach the extension to the cupboard via the two wood...

Not at Should not make any difference at all - one thing that it will help with is water evaporation, condensation (due to the heat above) will form on the underside of the perspex and drop into the tank . Ever since I fitted my overhead luminare my water level drops. I loose about 2 - 3...

Super glue is ok to use, a lot of the gang on here use super glue to attached Anubias to bogwood. Regards Paul.

Sorry lee didn't this reply Paul.

Well its obvious from my posting that you do not understand - within my posting there was no mention of using P.T.F.E instead of a teflon / nitrile washer or "O" ring. The vast majority of regulators will have some sort of a washer or "O" ring which acts as a seal, without this seal the gases...

Dennerle regulator requires a flat washer for a seal to the bottle and a JBL regulator has a "O" ring. On the end of every regulator is a shaft / lock nut which connection to the gas bottle. At the end of the shaft there is a section which actually fits inside the shut of tap on the bottle, the...

You could put the tank and stand in the position you want and partial fill it with an one or two and then take some measurements from within the tank, if the tank has cover which goes over the edge of the tank like a jewel or has an edging strip I wouldn't bother unless there is a hell of a...

Nick Have you thought about sitting the rocks on some sponge filter media - TT's & Ehiem use large diameter sponges http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EHEIM-PROFESSIONA ... 286.c0.m14 or pond sponge media. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FISH-POND-FOAM-FI ... 286.c0.m14 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/REPLACEMENT-POND-...

Certainly have - my aquaball has a spray bar fitted and its not a D.I.Y bar either. Regards Paul.

Nick I looked at these - the only thing that out me off was the distance or drop of the outlet pipe into the tank 16cm that over 6" drop, Regards Paul.

I would say due to the high ambient air temperature you could probably turn it off - but I would keep my eye on the thermometer, or put it on a timer - maybe on for an hour, off for four, back on for an hour and so on until you can get another, I would invest in buy two, you will have a spare...

zalun Is this what your after http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aquarium-Tank-Hig ... C294%3A192 Regards paul.

Why dont you use your existing internal filter to remove your water, remove it from its holder and place on the gravel. I am sure you can adapt a connection to fit on the outlet pipe on the filter and of coarse the hoze pipe will be connected. What internal filter pump / pumps are you using...

I was thinking of you using the external filter pump to remove the water - I break the joint on the left hand side of the cupboard above the filter attach the connector with the hoze attached open the taps and the water drains out by its self - take about 20 mins. Regards Paul.

Tigermoth Thx for your comments Its an Ehiem 2080 - the outer two pipes at the pump and the intakes of which i have one in each corner of the tank and the middle one is the water outlet which passes through a Aqua medic diffuser where I inject my Co2 and then back into the tank. Saturday is my...

Tigermoth Sorry if i seemed abrupt in my reply. Do you use an external or internal filter pump. If you use an external filter pump - cut the water return pipe in half and fit one of these - you will need two sets of them. As one set will be on your water input side to the tank the other 1/2...

Tigermoth By the time this thread get sorted you would have done a water change using a pint pot or paid somebody to come and do it for you Forget the pump to remove the water from your tank - put one end of the hose into the tank water, at the other end pop the hose into your mouth and give...

Thanks LD,I'm sure that would work, just more expense and fiddling about. Also not sure I'd fit it in before the Y connector and still keep the rest of the connections inside the sink. The two hose option is looking more attractive by the minute, especially as I've got loads of hose lying...

Dave Can you post a picy then we can try to assist to. Regards Paul.

Paulo It works on the same principle as yours, it allow the water to flow down through the connection and down the hose pipe - but stops the water flowing back up the pipe and through the connection. Regards Paul

Tigermoth Why dont up put an inline tap http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0194779580 to reduce the pressure of the cold water or put a none return connection above your "Y" connector - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hozelock-2185-Wat ... 240%3A1318. on the hot pipe - this should stop the cold...

Pirate I was concerned regarding water changes - so I post a thread and this was the reply: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=4738 I have slightly altered there method no pump, I place a hose pipe into the tank - good suck on the pipe pardon the pun and I let gravity do the rest. As for filling I attached...

TLH I have it on a twin gang extension lead, my initial thoughts were that the three pin plug would be in the middle of the housing, when it arrived I was very please to see that the plug was off set to the left of the housing when viewing from the front of the timer - hope this help or what...

Well guy's - I hope you are as impressed with it as I was - order my second on Friday night before the rush, spread the word, at least there portable rather than having a static unit and considerably cheaper. Regards Paul.

My Mate The flow control lever is over to the left which is "ON" maximum flow, the end cap is fitted on the tube and there are no leak, the flow meter shows the flow to be approx. 7/8 of being flat out. The only reason I can think off in relation to the filter not running flat out is due to me...

I am using the original stock bar suppiled with the kit and I purchased another stock bar (Eheim) from my LFS. The holes have not been altered - standard hole. Initial was was using tetratec water return over flow pipe - but now I have refitted ehiem stock flow pipe as the noise being emitted...

Neil reactor is gurgelling nicely - sounds like I am having to add more than necessary and the flow is very slow at the bottom - more like a very light breeze rather than steady breeze eg If the washing was on the line there is not enough wind to dry the clothes - I do not do the washing - that...

Re: Lily Pipes V Sprinkle Bar "UP DATE" & Current status Current status: there is a definite difference in water movement within the tank I can only assume this is due to the extension on the OEM spray bar I do not have any carpeting plants yet, there are some crypt and their leaves are moving...

i am cleaning @ the moment, once I have it up and running again I will repost with pic attached - me old "sorry" mate never lets me down. Paul

Neil Thx for the reply - but I don't know whether I am doing right or wrong by having a steady flow instead of a torrent. Regards Paul.

Gang@ukaps I have just increase the overall length of my spary bar was 16" now 30" and the has dramically reduced the whirlpool effect I was seeing, the tank is more settled and the flow seems to less severe IS THIS GOOD OR BAD any thoughts Regards Paul

Re: Lily Pipes V Sprinkle Bar Thx guys - plumbing job @ the weekend. Neil you have hit the nail on top the its head by saying "WHIRLPOOL". My initial thoughts were by lengthening the spray bar would reduce the amount of pressure required to emit the returning water through small holes. By...

Re: Lily Pipes V Sprinkle Bar Thx for the info - after reviewing your article regarding water flow (directional) and positioning on drop checkers I am think of buying a piece of ehiem pipe and drilling my own holes - hopefully I can buy a piece twice as long as the pipe supplied (approx. 12")...

Re: Lily Pipes V Sprinkle Bar Neil Thx for the reply - the tanks great and I would not swap it, panaramic view is superb, but the problems are trying to improve it / getting it how you want it. Usally with the positioning of lily pipes allows the flow goes the fully lenght of the tank ie...

Re: Lily Pipes V Sprinkle Bar Neale I had thought of changing my lighting system which would remove all the articles on the tank top. After careful consideration I decided against the change due to the tank being open to the elements ie dust particles, air bourne dirt and espically in our...

Re: Lily Pipes V Sprinkle Bar Guy Thx for the replies, the problems I have are with my hood. I have to cut additional slots to allow the pipe into the tank. I have moved my outlet pipe to the middle minus the sprinkle bar, now the water flow seems better and I have not lost any pressure. Pics...
