Hi people been off list for a while editing the book and then in the chaos of builders trying to insulate our ancient cottage (aka deep freeze) but have finally flooded the tank. The camera is buried somewhere under mounds of other stuff, but suffice to say that it's crawling with algae, the...

That easy? huh, who'd have thought - being a girl, I do happen to have some spare pairs of tights lying about... :) gosh, life's good when it's easy. mx

Dear all I dreamt last night that one of you lot had flooded my 40 liter nano (currently under Dry Start Method - see pic below) and I was panicking about the fact that I hadn't got a sponge yet to cover the filter intake and the shrimp were all going to be minced... :lol: So... The filter...

nope - but it looks interesting - be interested in a review when you've had it going a month or three... and at the start, of course - how quiet it is. Or isn't... brave man mx

and delightfully silent - I've got it running in a bucket alongside an Eheim 2078, waiting for the DSM to run its course on my big tank - and standing beside them, it's joyfully silent... glad we're together in not knowing what the 'o' rings are for - I have a horrible suspicion we'll find out...

I just had one delivered - the ex600, flow rate up to 600l/hr, for my 40 litre nano there are two small 'O' rings left after I assembled it, with no obvious reason for their existence... They're of the same diameter as the inlet/outlet tubes, but there was no indication that they should go in...

Yep - it truly is - off to TGM tomorrow.... a-hunting we will go, ahunting we will gooooo... :mrgreen:

Thanks, Neil... it's 90 minutes each way on a good day and I'm trying to finish the book... that said, I might go up tomorrow on the way to agility training...:) since we're here, how many stem plants did you plant in your dry start? Did they cope? ta muchly mx

My 'local' is TGM.... who are 90 minutes away - and very happy to share I just thought this way I could learn how to manage the pump in a place where it won't matter if I get water everywhere...:) thanks muchly m

Hi all I'm in the process of dry-starting my tank (see threadhttp://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=11757) and wondered if I could mature my filter in tandem by hooking it up to a barrel of water, tipping in some friendly bacteria on a regular basis, adding some household ammonia to keep...
