    New lights and new algae.

    Far left hand corner opposite side to the inlet. I use 4DKh water and what I will try is moving it and seeing what results I get. Went and bought a Hydor powerhead yesterday a number 2 model which is 2300 lph!! So all my leaves have a sway to them and hopefully this may go some way to...

    New lights and new algae.

    When I get home ( on parents lappy ) I will cobble together a diagram of my set up. The spray bar runs along the back of the tank, not the full length as it isnt long enough. The holes are pointing towards the front of the glass. The inlet is then in one of the corners, the right hand back...

    New lights and new algae.

    Hydor do nano powrheads at 800lph, two of those at either end or similar would be good then? Cant fit another filter and Im guessing two smaller ones are better than one big one?

    New lights and new algae.

    Will have a look at the tutorial, due to space another filter wouldnt be possible. Will have a look at powerheads on AE and the LFS. Why the water changes ?

    New lights and new algae.

    I tried excel to kill the algae and killed alot of my vallis, I will try with an increased dosage of TPN+. 10ml daily, right? Im really on a budget ( I shouldnt of really bought the inline diffsuer! ) so will try the dosing first before spending out on a powerhead. Are there any powerheads...

    New lights and new algae.

    Right, its getting really bad now. My plants are growing at an amazing rate but so is the algae. My drop checker is as light green as I want to go without gasing my fish and c02 is getting turned off at night and turned on before my lights. Also Im only using one bank of lights on my luminaire...

    New lights and new algae.

    I have a day off tommorrow, I will have another read and take it in and sort out my timers accordingly! Any leaves that are in the water colum are generally turned over and over in the swirl that is created by the spray bar flow turning over the glass front then down to the glosso below, they...

    New lights and new algae.

    Do have a solenoid so will start adding that to my timer set up and time in relation to the lights. My spray bar goes from top back to front and down the glass to the glosso carpet so always thought my circulation was spot on.

    New lights and new algae.

    Lights are on from 8 til 8 ( which having thought about is far to long ) So a power head or similar may help and reducing the lighting also? Also my thoughts on TPN+ and phospahtes, do they make any sense? Thanks for all the input so far chaps.

    New lights and new algae.

    Bought four new bulbs for my 4 footer and since that my plants have grown really well but also my algae has taken off big time. My tank is fair to well planted with 40ish fish. Tetra's, platies, rasboras etc. I dose with TPN+ daily with 5ml, its a 200 litre/55 Gal with a EX1200 and C02 on...
