hi all, as title does this look too much flow for my tank or does it look ok as im worried its too fast ?

ahhhh got ya i never thought of that thanks for clearing it up for me :) diffuser it is then lol :thumbup:

hi all, i was just sat thinking about a new co2 diffuser and came accross a thought i currently have a fluval 4+ internal filter in my tank for a little extra filtration but mainly flow and on the top of the utlet nozzle there is a airline inlet for turning it to a oxygen blower, now i was...

great stuff mate ill get it all going and planted up and see how i get on if do get and plants that seem to be struggling ill think about adding co2 if i do decide to add the co2 will i be better adding the 6000l/h korilia to one end under the spray bar or would i get better adding 1 single...

cheers mate im beginning to understand see at the minute im running a 36 watt marine white t8 40 watt plant grow t8 no co2 no ferts sand only substrate i want 2 osram 865 daylight white 6500k t5 54 watt lights 45" long so it will be almost 1 long bulb sparing covering of osmocote as...

that looks cool thing is though in the new tank i didnt want to use co2 at all as its 6foot and would cost a bomb to set it up lol i take what yousay as what was probs wrong as i dont know enough to say it was just the sand could i add the osmocote and peat under the sand and still get good...

oh i always thought it was the sand being too dense due to the fact the tank was only 2foot and had the filter and a korilia 3 in there and 1bps co2 and the tank was full of tiny little bubbles yet any stem plant i tried melted lol then when i changed to cat litter as substrate they all...

hi again i was just wanting to ask if i was to do the same thing i was thinking with osmocote as a base in my tank then moss peat over that would i be able to lay my sand over the top and have success with my plants still or would i be asking for trouble reason i ask is i really dont...

no worries mate im changing to aqkadama soil now with osmocote plant fert and moss peat as it will be better in the long run and still less than £60 all in for a 6ft x 18" footprint giving me 2.5" at the front and 3.5" rear also i wouldnt put sand over peat as it will get mixed and look...

that kinda makes sense to me on the therefore a decent substrate with if i get the 2 54w t5 thats still only 1watt per gallon as the tank is 101 gallons so the low light plant selection im going for should work out ok correct? even without ferts or co2 which i dont really want to add anyway...

ive decided that if i need to change the substrate then i will i was thinking about now would akadama substrate with a layer of peat under and sprinkled with root tabs and the 2 4ft t5ho 6500k bulbs work with no co2 or ferts ? after reading the thread on akadama it sounds to be a good...

thank you if i were to use some sort of root tabs in the sand and add the co2 and the t5 lighting would this make a difference as i really dont want to remove all the sand again as the tank is currently up and running with fish :) im stuck now and dont know what to do :?:

hi everyone right were do i start firstly i just found out after measuring my tank that its actually 6 foot long x 18" high x 18" deep us gallons is 101 uk gallons is 84 next question is does the watts per gallon go on uk or us now the tank is only going to be low tech as i dont have...

cool well keep me in mind as i will buy them regardless of size :) my tank is 20" tall so they will be good :)

i was thinking of amazon swords too but was unsure if they live ok with no co2 and low light not even 1watt per gallon ? i usually see them and there all melting

they would of been perfect :( got any more???

thank you there all really cool plants i especially like the first and last they would look really nice in my tank :)
