Welcome to Ukaps! :D

Looks like your off to a good start -

Seems not many people using the Red Sea Flora base on here but Ive had great results with it . Its just gone into my new scape too.

The Jbl system is pretty standard equipment around here but a lot of people will change the spiral diffuser for something a bit more efficient. Glass/ceramic diffusers are common place, These offer a much higher diffusion rate and are also less unsightly. You might want to look into adding a bubble counter and a drop checker.

You dont mention what ferts you might use, this is something you will have to look into.


enjoy :D
 
Thanks
I am using tropica ferts
daily
I am looking into diffusers at present what ADA would you recommend for a 180l tank
Thanks again
 
Planter, I'm guessing that reactor thing is external? And the flow rates, max being 200lph? Seems a little low does it not?
