Well I can only go by what I know, I use the spray bar which goes the length of my tank, so therefor the bublles go that far...

mine comes through a long spray bar and fine bubbles get spread throughout the tank....miles better than the glass difussers

after turning the co2 pressure down slightly the tubing has stopped coming off...will now try and gauge how long to leave the timer on to ensure the plants get enough co2

Yes I mean the UP atomiser but its only a couple of months old and is not showing any signs of dirt!

no I tried that just not pushing any CO2 through.....I turned the Co2 down and some is now getting through the spray bar, I'm going to leave it on 24/7 for a couple of days just in case its a timer issue (dont think it is though)

the flow going through the water pipes into the spraybar is fine.....but still blowing the pipe off the none return. Dont want to buy another if the problem could be something else....hoped someone could shed some light on this :crazy:

My Up Aqua has somehow got blocked....all looks ok but the pipe keeps blowing off from the none return valve....I have tried another valve with the same result.... Any idea how to unblock???

for example eheim hose size 16/22 so you would get the 16/22 atomiser

Yes co2 pipe connects to it them outlet pipe connects to your spraybar

External Diameter: 20mm Internal Diameter: 16mm Wall Thickness: 2mm Length: 1000mm / 1m This is pretty close to the Eheim bar I think!

Here's the thing I want to buy or make a 3ft spraybar to go across the back of my 4ft tank. I have the Eheim pro3 filter system (16/22 hose) with 2 spray bars joined with a bit of hose... I'm sure I have seen a 3ft length of spraybar somewhere (but cant find it now!) or does anyone know where...

thanks for the link....quick question! can this added to the outlet pipe then be added to your spray bar

Silly question but where can I get hold of a Up Aqua in line diffusor?

Just to point out that Aqua Esstials are still tops! they did send me an email first thing, saying I could keep the conector and they are posting the correct one out to me!!!

I still want them to send me the one I paid for! Will give this a go when the other needle valve arrives...one of the forum members has kindly said they have a spare and are going to send me it :)

Well I ordered the Y Splitter but they sent me the Y connector. Apart from feeling ripped off because of the difference in price with it do the same job?? http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/ae-design-y-connector-p-1938.html

Cheers Paul I will try it again when my splitter arrives...it is quite a size hole though!

I bought a Spio III CO2 Diffuser and it has a hole at the base of the circular tubing...is it meant to have? I thought it was broken so I email the people that sold me it and they said "The hole is designed to release the gas pressure in the circular tube." Is this right?

Well I am going to buy one...like you say Clive £7 is worth a try, I have one needle valve only though so I will see how it goes.

Anyone got a spare needle valve? :)

Has anyone used or are using the Y Splitter for CO2 Systems from Aqua Essentials Can they be used with FE and are they any good? http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/ans-y-splitter-for-co2-systems-p-1254.html

500ggg bottle in a 180 litre tank will only last a few weeks!!

Wow thats is an awful long time!! I get about 6 weeks to my 2 kg in my 180L tank, Just aquired a 5 kg bottle simply to save a few trips to the refilling shop :lol:

Think the new flow is a big improvement...Still getting the smelly Blue-green Smear algae in the substrate :( I am picking it out before water changes....on-going battle!

One alteration needed! The Fluval 305 really was not working with enough pressure to use the full length spray bar so I replaced the normal Fluval end and added the Eheim Compact 2000 Pump and attached the spray bar to that I will work on the flo direction as you advised. Many Thanks again...

moved it to the corner is that better

Ok will up the dosage to 40ml 3x a week :wink: My Eheim Compact 2000 Pump has just arrived any nice tips as where to put it? Oh and just waiting for plants to come

Juwel corner filer removed joint spray bar added horizontally. Eheim Compact Pump arrives this week and will be added for more flo, although not sure where to put it

Thanks very much for the great input I will change it around before I get any more plants. The Ferts are at 25ml 3X per weeks...this was taken on advice also, do you thing I should up them to 40 ml 3X per week? I would like to keep the ferts at 25ml simply because its easier...so what do you...

What do you mean by Tank Juwel Vision 180 litres bowed front Potassium Nitrate & Potassium Phosphate (SAME BOTTLE) Potassium Nitrate 39g to 500ml for the solution Potassium Phosphate 30g to 500ml for the solution dosage = 25ml 3 times per week Trace 18g to 500ml for the solution dosage =...

Forget the lack of plants as I am trying to get the flow correct before adding more plants Full Tank Tank Right Hydor Koralia used to send the Co2 on its way araound the tank....The Juwell filter is to be removed and I have bought a Eheim Compact 2000 to place in that corner Tank Left...

are there any photo's on how to set this up to an external filter? and would I be able to rig it to a fluval 305?

many thanks

That looks like the 2 pin shave plug adapter I'm talking about

Can I use a 2 pin shaver socket to plug the solenoid in?

Are you saying reg tube solenoid tube check valve tube difuser Does anyone have a picture of the correct setup Please!!

Paulo it arrived this morning, but lets pretend I've never fitted one of these before. How do I attach this to my dd regulator :?:

Got the buy it now item £25 posted....money saved in the long run if I'm not running 24/7

Thank You :D

Sorry had a homer moment....realised Lunapet had a website :oops: still could do with a link though.....don't do german

Paulo where did you buy it from...do you have a link please :D

Its the solenoid I after not a new reg....but if they come as one.

Sorry to hear you had no joy in the end....its always good to hear peoples recomendations though

Any recomendations??

Has anyone got or used the AQUAMEDIC SOLENOID VALVE seen it on ebay. Never had or used a solenoid before so any pointers would be good....will these fit on a DD Regulator and do they have a UK plug? If this is no good could you let me know a decent make Cheers :wink:

God how awful I hope you can get over it…although its hard, you can always replace the fish, but the sleepless nights thinking it might happen again…doesn’t bare thinking about :( :(

Not that weird....Dark Green in the water, maybe just because it looks darker than what it really is. I set it up correctly 3 drops of blue into the 4dkh solution. I change the drop check solution after every weekly water change.

my drop checker is not one with the white background....so it looks dark green but when I change the water and the level is below the drop checker it appears light green

I have 2 35w T5 bulbs with reflectors. Waterflow is JUWEL internal on one side and FLUVAL 305 at the other. The Juwel internal is also directed in a way to push the co2 from the diffuser around the tank

Could someone advise me on the required bps in my well planted 180L Juwel Tank. At the moment its on 2bps but I am getting black hair algae on the leaf edges of some my my plants. Should I up the CO2...if so what to? Thanks for any help you can give!

I took the ends off a cheap shoe rack cut it down to size then cut a whole through a couple of rows put the ends back on and here is the result... :D

Delivered and installed :D

Thanks for the reply I decided against going for a second hand one...although it has cost me more I think in this case its better to be safe than sorry. I have ordered the DD Regulator from Aqua essentials http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk:80/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=652...

Hi All Can someone point me in the right direction. I am going to rent a 10 litre CO2 bootle from my local Air Products and need to know which regulator I need? Are all regulators standard thread size? I was looking to buy something like the one below Co2 Regulator (d+d) Twin regulator for...
