Brave Man!

Yes i use hose clips on all mine, as the screw thread is questionable! And i too am scared what Mrs H would do to me if i flooded the cream carpet in the lounge!

No not all of them are. There should be a little black cap which you pop off and there is an hex head bolt underneath. Not all regs come with this option.

After lots of tinkering i concluded that the Up atomiser required a minimum of 1.7 bar to work. As George mentions earlier it requires this pressure to be forced through the ceramic tube.

Hey Vito I have both an Aquariums Ltd, and a Green Machine Opti-white, both are excellent. If you wanna see: My kitchen tank journal (60l) is the Aquariums Ltd one and my lounge tank (180l) is a TGM one. You wont regret going optiwhite, i was hesitant at first but now i wouldn't consider...

i use it all the time and keep shrimp and all manner of fish, no problem at all. Just make sure its dry/gone off before you put it back in your tank. Cheers Andyh

its actually a piece of colured glass, he as put in the tank to create a fake wall to hid his filter. See filter return top back right of picture. You could get a similar effect with a graded aquarium blue backing or with a photography graded background. Stone looks like TGM blue stone (which...

The 1500lph should help! The black is nice that's what made me purchase it. I have kept it in the spares box and when i get chance i may see if i can make it work. I suspect that 1500lp should work better as i was trying only 700lph. Let me know how you get on! :thumbup:

Hey Garuf I have said JBL kit black jet style diffusor with pivot head type thing. I wasnt that impressed to be honest, if you could reduce the dia of the whole thing that may help, or whack it on a massive filter. I found the ehiem wide mouth much better at creating flow. I did toy with...

If we are playing the guessing game. I say frogs! :eh:

hey read these http://www.ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=266 http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=7776 they should help lots :thumbup:

Check first! Its the old metric/imperial conversion problem!

You always get some confusion when it comes to hoses and ID and OD. ADA call it 13mm, which in my mind is them rounding it up i.e (12.7mm = 1/2inch) Eheim call it 12mm doh! :eh:

Re: Tank for moss and emmersed growing - DONE :) Hey That looks very proffesional! Cant wait to see what you can grown in it! Are you going to do a journal? Andy

George If i could i would go MH this is based purely on the fact that the ADA Solar's look so good. That combined with the ripple effect etc its got to be a winner. How you going to heat it? External heater? How you doing your CO2? I am looking forward to this :thumbup:

Thats so useful when completing maintenance....! I am off there to get a glass vase for the pico competition may have to get myself some of them aswell.

I can only speak about my experience with Aquariums Ltd, as my 60l was from them, Its an Opti-white braceless to my own custom sizes, with bonded black background. Its excellent, the quality of workmanship (silicon and glass edges etc) is great, compared to any other tank i have owned. The...

always had traditional heaters in my shrimp tanks with no problem. :thumbup:

I think your talking about bracing bars around the top of the tank. Once you get to ceratain sizes, glass thickness and braces become increaingly important as the volume and weight of the water become an issue. The guys at aquariums ltd are well experienced and i would take what they say as...

hey James, thanks for such a detailed explanation! I understand what your saying, thanks for saving me some money! :thumbup:

Iron chelate? :? I have no idea what that is?

With ref to the Dehumudifier make sure it has some sort of stat on it This is similar to a thermostat, a humidistat indicates the relative humidity and allows you to adjust it to the desired level. That way once its done its job it aint going to over do it! Also dont be tempted to use the water...

Is anybody using a UV sterilizers in their setups. They are obviouly used widely in ponds for killing algae. Does anybody run them on there tanks? If so how? Inline on your external? Are they worth it? :thumbdown: :thumbup:

Get yourself to a garden center they defo have mesh.

The plastic net/matting looks like something you could source from a garden center or B&Q, good luck!

Hi i ordered a little kit from aquatic magic via ebay...
