    Cerges Reactor w/ Venturi

    For a while I have been using a needle wheel pump for my co2 diffusion and while it works well, I’m not convinced that just the mist is enough for my sumped setup, not to mention its unsightly. I have not been happy with my plant growth and have noticed some unsightly algae that I believe is due...

    Searching for new tank - Sump vs canister

    Hi, Im in the process of buying a new 150cm long tank. My previous one was also that size, it was custom built with a sump which I was very happy with. Not sure whether to go down the sump route again for the new one or whether to use a canister filter. I like how everything is more accessible...

    "Second Hand" Surface Agitation!

    I've ran air-stones at lights out, I've ran them 24/7 with co2 cranked up to compensate. The battle for good oxygen levels without de-gassing co2 always seems to take place at the water surface which recently led me to an idea/experiment. What if I create "another" surface which I can aerate...

    clay pebbles as filter media

    hi, I have a load of clay pebbles and a lot of spare space in a sump. Is there any reason why they wouldn't work as a filter media? I can't think of any, but before I stick them all in... thanks

    Stig of the Sump

    Have made a couple of posts on this under other topics, but thought I’d tidy it up and start a journal (please forgive the repetition). The tank is a TMC 900 Signature (90x45x45) with sump. I’ve bought it second hand, it having previously been a reef tank. Total water volume will be around...

    TMC Sig 900 & sump - low tech - feedback please

    Hi, I have a new project in the pipeline and I’d welcome some feedback on what I’m planning before I get started. There’s no particular reason for the project, other than I caught newtankitis. My aim is to get somewhere close to the self-sustaining minimal input type thing (plus water...
