I found that the hose goes nice and tight over the connector but will be ordering some hose clips later today to make sure.SteveUK said:Looking great mate Got the fluval connector problems sorted out?
I recently got some of the same hairgrass from TGM and its taken really quickly even considering it was grown emmersed. I had in the past cut it harsly before planting and it just failed on me. I planted it in clumps for now for it to settle in but will replant in a while - even those these are still tiny clumps, you wouldn't think how small some of them actually are but look huge!LondonDragon said:Looking good Clark, you should really cut that grass really short, only leaving a couple of cm from the substrate and also thin it more and replant it, this will promote new growth and also help it spread quicker.
Did you put your lily pipe in the front left corner because of the HC? I have mine in the back, with the inflow on the right side... This way the current is being pushed along the upper left side, down to the FG and all way to the left side in a rotating pattern. With a small tank like this there is no real danger of "dead spots".Superman said:The lilly output is mixing up a bit of the AquaSoil in the front right corner so have turned down the output a bit. I'm pleased that everything has stayed put in the soil.
How many water changes do you plan to do in the long run, and how much at a time? If dosing 1ml to 14l daily with my tap water data at almost 0 K and 0 PO4 -and my 80-90% water changes twice-a-week, I would have heavy deficiency issues with the K and PO4 below the EI range. 50% water changes are OK with the 1ml but I found that 50 is not enough in my Nano.Superman said:I decided to dose 1ml of Easy Carbo and TPN+ per day after looking at Dan's results with Little Mountain and his Dennerle Nano.
A daily 50% wc will lead to 0,44ppm PO4 and 5,48ppm K if your tapwater does not have any and you dose 1ml.Superman said:I think I'll do a daily water change for a few weeks.
Great minds eh?! lolkeymaker said:Clark, beautiful little tank, it has almost the same plants like mine, except the Ludwigia.
I put it there for a couple of reasons, one was that it fitted better in the front and two I thought it would help the flow around the tank. I'll see how it goes, but I'm expecting the back areas to be more bushier in the future, so the pipes might not fit anywhere else.keymaker said:Did you put your lily pipe in the front left corner because of the HC?

I've not really done any calculations to come up with the 1ml of both per day, just checked Dan's journal and he got good results using it. That doesn't mean mine will be the same so will keep an eye on it.keymaker said:How many water changes do you plan to do in the long run, and how much at a time?

Thanks Andy. I noticed that after posting the photos, it was from priming the filter. It's remained flat since.SuperColey1 said:One thing I saw is that the intake seems to have 'sucked' a hole in the substrate. Maybe need to raise the intake a little.
