Im sure you are above that :) And just so you dont make us all duck for cover I can confirm that its just banter :angelic: My mum is one of the safest women drivers in the world.... she has NEVER had an accident !!! (Mind you, she has SEEN thousands :lol: :lol: :lol: )

Anyway ldc, hows your tank coming along ? Did you manage to turn your nymphoides around ?
 
Re: Aquagreen (light ramping)

S'ok get it a lot. Once rescued a guy stuck in the snow by putting my snow chains on his car. His face was a picture "you know how to put them on?"
Going to order the stuff Clive recommended for the plant

Good luck then, its a great plant ! Haha I can quite imagine. Not many people know how to use chains. I am fortunate.. I know all about them having lived in the South Island of New Zealand. Seen a few cars scratched to bits where tourists had not put them on properly and they came loose and made a nice mess of the paintwork :rolleyes:

Re: Aquagreen (light ramping)

cheers Darren, and yep, you gotta hand it to the Evans and his photography skills. The new catalogue is great.
 
Re: Aquagreen (light ramping)

Love it truly an inspiration :clap: How long do you have your lights on for ? and what is the PH of the tank ?
 
Re: Aquagreen (light ramping)

thank you very much sdlra...i'll give a quick run down on what i'm doing at present

Filter = Eheim 2073 with glass lily in and outflow, the outflow is the one that shoots directly across the tank rather than down at the substrate. Media = Matrix, high grade carbon and zeolite, sponge and purigen.

Lighting = TMC 2x grobeams leds, on from 1500 - 2200

CO2 = 1bps via an inline diffuser

ferts = 7ml of TNC complete daily and flourish fe every other day

Substrate = columbo florabase

Water = RO cut with tap, GH 9, Ph 6.4. Change about 20% twice a week at present.
 
Re: Aquagreen (light ramping)

Before you start on women I think my husband would find it very difficult to get excited about tank lighting so not a gender thing. Infact he struggles with the whole tank thing so I was very pleased when he said recently that the tanks were looking 'nice'. Then again I like cars too so maybe I'm a freak woman...

Either that or the husband has a very feminine side cough cough ;), or you a slight masculine side.......ha

( hole dug)

Anyway tanks looking great Ian lol.

Re: Aquagreen (bright light!)

I love the overexposure at the top. Makes it look like theres no water in there :thumbup: . Mind you, your water is always so clear it looks like its empty anyway, LOL
