    Cooling tanks down

    Ok snapped some pics. Went up to 5 fans now, that way i don't have to spin em so fast so they're quieter. They're just standard PC fans, so cost only a few quid each. Angled em so they're blowing out throw t'other side. Tried various brackets and clamps, but most the metal ones i made...

    Cooling tanks down

    That's exactly what i have done. As Sam says you do loose a fair bit of water, i'm losing around 6L a week in my 120L tank. But even in the height of summer here i rarely see anything over 28c water temp wise. You can buy controllers that turn the fans on/off at preset temps. Eliwell do some...

    Lily pipes, worth the money?

    That was bloody quick :o Not sure how they did it, but my order was sent by AE on Monday and it arrived today :o I've lived here for 9 years and i've NEVER had a delivery from the UK that quick. Anyways both the inlet and outlet looked great to me, top quality. I've not seen any other more...

    Lily pipes, worth the money?

    Thanks Andy, I really don't like ordering outside the EU as any time i do i inevitably up up spending hours in the Greek customs offices. I'll order the cheap set from AE and try them, i'll let you guys know when they arrive and what they're like. Cheers Mark

    Lily pipes, worth the money?

    Phew close call there then. I was about to order some on-line *gulp* I think i'll bite the bullet and order a lily pipe set from AE instead. Anyone tried the cheaper ones from AE?

    Lily pipes, worth the money?

    Thanks Andy. It's mainly the inlet i want rid of the spray bar is pretty much out of sight. I see they do a pair on the Aquatic Magic store, they're in Malaysia though. There no where in Europe? As i say i really like the idea that the inlet has holes up to the water surface, does this really...

    Lily pipes, worth the money?

    No need to apologise mate, that's a great find by anyones standards. You've also given me the idea of nipping around Athens tomorrow and seeing if i can find some 12mm clear pipe to make me own spray bar :) Great find thanks :)

    Lily pipes, worth the money?

    Nice find :) £75 minimum is a bit of a downer though, they only do minimum 5m lengths as well, that'd be some shipping bill ;) But if anyone was to buy some for themselves and have say 1.5m of 12mm clear piping with 3 x 90° bends and an end cap i'd be up fer buying it ;) Cheers Mark

    Lily pipes, worth the money?

    Bit of an update. Collected my new filter yesterday Eheim 2026, after a bit of faffing about trimming my canopy i got it fitted. Boy it's only now i realise how totally inadequate my internal filter was. Back onto topic though, the inlet and spray bar that come with the filter are dire :(...

    Lily pipes, worth the money?

    Woww Good job i asked before handing over me cash then thanks guys. I was lead to believe that the lily pipes circulated water better than the stock outlets, that was really my only influence in buying one. I'll save me money now, thank you :) Cheers Mark

    Lily pipes, worth the money?

    Hi guys, I am expecting my Eheim 2026 early next week and am wondering if it's worth buying a lily pipe? If so is it worth just buying the outlet or both the outlet and inlet? My tank is a 120l 100x30x40 It is low tech with no CO2 system and a 1x38w T8. It's planted with. Echinodorus...
