The coral is in bags in the sump so very easy to remove. Today I did some heavy pruning and got rid of every leaf that was not 100% the only ones I left was the anubis as that has a little algae/diatoms on the edges of the leaves is there any way to get rid of this with out cutting away the...

I have looked into purigen and I worked it out I would need 2ltr of the stuff something for the shopping list at the end of the month. The cloudiness is there all the time no difference at all when I dose I do have 2kg of crushed coral in my tank though as I had a low KH could this be the...

I forgot to ask if I did get some liquid carbon at what do I dose at as I am using injection too so would I go with 1ml per 50ltr per day every day as per the instructions or would it be 1ml every 100ltrs every day or like 1ml per 50ltrs every 3 days ? I ask as with the tank my size I would go...

I have today I have only 2 tubes running and on my tank it looks so dim now and the co2 I have turned up on the controller for now as the pipe is cut so I have ordered up some more co2 pipe and then I will remove the controller and have the co2 on a timer for 2 hours b 4 lights on.

Ok I see what you mean now My tank has become such a headache over the last few months that I have thought about giving it up and just changing it to a cichlid tank as I still can not get clear water I have so many suspended particles that it makes the water look cloudy I have tried everything...

The co2 is on the filter and not the sump this is how is runs 25mm pipe from tank to bucket filter then outlet from bucket filter to co2 reactor then from reactor to tank via a full length spray bar.

Right where do I start The lights are 4x54w which are paired so yes I can turn off 2 the lights are on for 8 hours per day from 12-8pm which would be the best way to do this just turn 2 lights off all the time or have 2 come on for 2 hours then the other 2 for 4 hours then back to just 2 for...

What do I need to do? As I have 2 full length spray bars 1 pointing down to the middle of the tank and the other pointing straight down the front of the glass one of them is pumping out around 5000lrt an hour and the other around 2500lrt per hour. Do i need to increase my co2 ? more flow ?

Co2 level is always in the bright green and the co2 is on.

Hi yes Co2 injection though a reactor with twin full length spray bars one on back one on front Filters is 1 x sump with a OR 6500 return pump 1 x Ehime Bucket filter modded to take a 3400ltr pump

I am trying to get more light to the bottom of my tank. My tank is 72"x24"x30" and at present I am running 4 x 54w T5's with reflectors. The lights are 4-5" above the water level which means from light to top of substrate is about 32" What are my options for getting more light to the bottom...

I am looking in to the possibility of changing my lighting to LED but am unsure if it will do the job as my tank is 32" deep and the lights would be 4" above the water line so looking at 34-36" to the bottom of the tank. Is there any LED lights that would do this depth and give good lighting at...

Thanks will do and thanks for the heads up on introducing more lighting to the plants etc. I have just looked on the QVS site as I have one of there outlets near me and they have a 6500k listed for £5 so I think I will go get that.

Ok I think I will go with 2 more light but this time I will go with growlux to give it more of a natural look as at the moment it looks to clinical if you get what I mean. or is there another combination I can go with with 2x 14k t5 and 2 something else ?

I am have reflectors and have 14k T5's from iquatics as that's what they recommended to me due to the depth. I have injected co2 and dosing EI salts The tank it self is filtered by a 4ft sump with a ocean runner 3500 return pump and a magnum 350 canister filter and to aid flow I am using 2x...

Yes I would like it a little bit bright too but that is more down to me I want to do what is best for the plants and fish and being the size of tank it is turn it is to more of a focal point than the TV if you get my drift.

The tank is a planted tank or should I say the start of Has lots of crypts, java moss, Java fern, Amazon swords, and a few others in at the moment and soon going to be putting in xmas moss etc.

My tank is 6ft long by 2ft wide by 30" deep at the moment I am running 2 x 54w T5's with reflectors. I am thinking I might need to add more light I am thinking of another 2 54w lamps that would give me a total of 216w of lighting for this tank. I know about wpg but that was based on the T8...

I am now selling this light fitting as I am going down a different route.
