    The Next Episode - 800 litres

    Hi, got if on full. I used to hear the hum of the aquamedic in my bedroom. I can't hear this one. I really like the idea of LEDs. So some pics of how you set them up, wiring etc would really be useful. My lfs has a shoal of Altums (ferrybridge aquatics). Look awesome. Post some pics of your...

    Hi, how's it going. Need an update on your tank. I got the 9000. All set up and running. Sounds like a PC fan running. Lot higher pitch than other pumps. Much quieter to say it's over two times more powerful. The control is pretty nifty too. Hope u got yours up n running

    Hi, thx for reply. I just put my order in for one. What fittings does it come with? I have 1" return hard pipe at the moment. Do I need to get any connectors? Looking good by the way .

    Hi, have you had your pump running yet? I have just bought a compact 5000 to upgrade from an aquamedic 3500 but the eheim is quite a bit noisier. Was wondering how the jecod sounded. Thx

    Hi, really liking your build. Can you post some pics of your light build. I have a similar size tank with a sump etc and like the idea of moving to LEDs.

    Yes there is that. I use my wife or kids to help out. Though it sometimes is frustrating when they shout through. "Move that one, over there." And of course I have no idea which one, or where, there is. And catching a fish is great fun!

    5ft hole in the wall

    Many thanks for your comments. I will have to get my slr out and do some proper full tank shots. I am still struggling to find an effective co2 reactor. I currently use a 2lt coke bottle with bio balls in the sump. It drops the ph from 7.4 to 6.6 and keeps it there. But I would like something...

    5ft hole in the wall

    Hmm. The substrate is akadama. I use 4 t5 tubes for 7 hours a day on timers. Co2 comes on 2 hours before lights on and off 1 hour before lights off. I use a ph controller to manage the co2 which is a holdover from the marines. The ph is usually about 7.4 in the morning and I run it at 6.6...

    5ft hole in the wall

    The overflow runs into the sump, through 3 large sponge mechanical filters. Then the water runs up through ceramic tubes, then down through siporax. The last two chambers hold the heaters and co2 reactor. I use a 7kg co2 cylinder which I can swap for a full one locally when it is empty, which...

    5ft hole in the wall

    I really wanted a six footer, but when i drew a six foot line on the wall...OMG it looked huuuuge!!!: and so it was agreed by the powers that be, that five foot was the optimum size. It is 58 1/4" by 24" by 24" - why the funny measurements, you may ask.. Well as a typical Yorkshireman, i have...

    5ft hole in the wall

    So long story short I guess i will give you the preamble as is expected. I kept trops, then cichlids, then marines in the 80's when UG filters, tufa rock, Berlin skimmers were popular.... I then got hitched and that put pay to all that. Kids come along, and we go through a two foot cold...
