Sorry I wasn't very clear was I. I just ment if had a light that was a bit longer than your tank, like a 24" unit if it was a bit hire you might not notice the difference.

Hi Jason is there any way you you can hang the light from the ceiling, 4" probably won't be that noticeable.

well to be honest the 120 ltr tank is just an experiment, if i can get it to work I'll be doing a whole strip and rebuild on my 7' X 2' X 2' new stand new light lay out, filters, and plant layout. the whole things a bit sorry for itself since i got the hump with wasting time, money, and pulling...

well just had a quick read, looks like getting the stuff will be harder due to recent events, maybe.

LOL i thought akadama "sounds Japanese must be expensive" so thats as far as i went with it. Maybe I'll give it a go next time after a bit of a read up on it. i do like sand though i like the colour and the fact it super easy to plant in.

I'll just leave it alone then. I wasn't sure if 500mm away for the lights was a bit extreme thats all. If its still done nothing much by Christmas maybe ill start lowering them a bit. thanks Alastair moneys mainly the reason i didn't buy a designer substrate. i tried cat litter last time i...

yep just sand, i was under the impression that sand was ok as long as water column dosing was good. plants are pogostemon glossostigma elatinoides myriophyllum mattogrossense marsilea hirsuta staurogyne repens Vallisneria Americana no scape just spread evenly to see what grows.

Hi guys, I started up my 120l tank 2 weeks ago using the high tec method. this will be the last time i try before i cancel my BOC account. I'm trying to do it right this time, by the book with patiences. the set up is I'm using normal sand as substrate, with 6 MTS to turn it over. Ive got co2...

Once you get over a certain volume the wot role doesn't work I had 4 full lengths over my 7 foot was more than enough light.

Sorry Ben i did mean to post a link to the tutorial section, I'll try again I was at work on my phone. http://ukaps.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=34 if you read this it all starts to become clearer. there is loads of great info on ukaps. wish id found it before i set up my tank. Even with a huge...

Have a read up of this mate it might answer some of your questions. MH lighting is an option but there are issues with high lighting.

Hi ben welcome along. That's a lot of light mate even for a very deep tank. You might be better off with t8 tubes for no c02 low maintenance route or or t5 if you want a c02 high mantinace tank

i just switched it off lowered the light level a duration, had no problems yet.

I've decided I'm going to go low tec with my large tank 7'x2'x2'. reason for going low tec are 3 hours of maintenance every Saturday are getting a bit much, the cost of gas just went up again the thing causes me more stress than i can be bothered with. and even doing every thing by the the book...

what do you think looks pretty.

3 wpg is a huge amount with t5s when you say "I am running some cheap ones and I didn't have great success with them" what do you mean i doubt lack of light is to blame. what's you flow like needs to be high with that kind of light .

http://www.koicarp.net/pond_constructio ... aints.html have a look at there range really good product and customer service was good too. i just called them told them what i was up to they sent the gear. P2 i used i think. was a year ago and still no warping

ok sorry i cant find the info so maybe it was 2 wpg just thought the whole basis for EI was maxim ferts plants could use over a 7 day period before you "re set" the tank

my guess would be they took the PAR form 5mm away to help sell it and at that price hmmm

its a long time since i reed it but im sure some where in the ei sticky its says 6wpg is maximum lighting and the EI mix is the fert level that worked under those conditions with that and you can go down to suit your needs but the base for ei is the most your plants will ever need because you...

i think in there you could run 6 wpg for 8 hours per day thats what EI is for unlimited lighting you would just need to build up to it slowly do %50 water change a week have you co2 spot on and Hugh amount of flow but unless you an expert and growing plants to sell why bother you'd be balancing...

ive got some blue leds too light my tank at night. and id agree they look really good but ive only ever used them once, as i was worried it might cause problems. it would be good to get an answer from some one who real knows there stuff on here as id like to use them. never thought to ask my...

i posted a reply but it went tits. so in short look at theses http://www.hagen.com/uk/aquatic/glo/GLO ... og8_EN.cfm

i have tried some thing similar although they kept the plants alive growth was slow/none. in my experience chep led solutions aren't great cant comment on the high end stuff.i now use t5 ho.

thanks for you help guys you all have really nice tanks i can tell ive still a lot to learn tom im not sure what you mean by 6# 54 watt bulbs do you 6 covering the tank front to back or do you mean getting 4 more 54 bulbs added to the to i have getting rid or the 2# 24 watts and staggering...

sorry my bad ok sorry co2 is pressurised dennerle (selling ph controller after reading about them on here) ferts just started ei after trying pro aqua grow bags reduced kno3 due to fish stocking levels (wife) substrate is just kiln dried sand with fert sticks under rooted plants turn over is...

hi ive read that 2# t5HO lights running the length of my 750l(200x60x60cm) tank will grow anything but and iv also read it wont be enough and its still in the low light range. if using the wpg rule i still need .75 watts per gal but is my tank large enough for that to be useless anyway im...
