    DIY Aquarium - Little Help Please

    An old post I know but please take this as constructive advice as I wouldn't like to see anyone throw away money, but seems to me that if you need to ask these questions you shouldn't attempt it with first researching the matter as having a tank blowout on you wouldn't be pretty, again this...

    layout for lilly pipes

    Reminds me of an old science lab from school lol, after deliberation I'm going for the cal aquas efflux f3 one either end of the tank (120x45x45)aimed towards the front, like dans says what works for one might not work for the other but I think it's a good starting point and one I think in...

    layout for lilly pipes

    Everything you've said garuf has been appreciated and taken on boared and you have raised some valid points I will be trailing the standard jbl triangular flows before the Lilly pipes, it all comes down to wanting the inside of the tank to look as easy on the eye in regards to equipment and...

    layout for lilly pipes

    I choose to run 2 filters as both my heater and c02 are inline and putting both on one filter would have reduced flow dramatically. I agree on the inlets not having a influence on flow rates, and my post was more regarding the distribution of c02 and nutrients and how best to achieve this using...

    layout for lilly pipes

    There's certainly an argument for and against I will run the tank on the standard jbl intakes and outlets for a few week before planting, then i will purchase the cal aquas to compare, the inlet pipe however I would imagine its the strainer type that would restrict flow and not the pipe it's...

    layout for lilly pipes

    I obviously have the jbl triangular jets and will be using these anyway while filtering the tank with just aquasoil and hard scape so I will be looking at the flow then. I'm also doing it for aesthetic purposes but don't want my lily pipes to look nice but plants look terrible so need a solution...

    layout for lilly pipes

    I do like the idea of that particular lilly pipe, and i would invest if it did what it said, my worry would be breaking the thing, i wouldnt be to happy if i did plus i need 2, its a hobbby i really want to put blood, sweat and tears into and to me the little things like lilly pipes etc needs to...

    layout for lilly pipes

    thats what i was thinking opposie ends and oppossing corners, my concern is the substrate level, ill try and upload a picture as ive been messing with stones (still waiting for my tank 5th week :oops: ) and trying to imagine where the flow will travel so to speak, c02 will be inline.

    layout for lilly pipes

    i have a 48x18x18 (255) litres using 2 cristal profi 1500s, id much prefer to have the glass lilly pipes in there rather than a spray bar, as my height wil come from mainly hardscape so my question is should i aim for a certain layout to aid flow using the lilly pipes so c02 distribution wont...

    New tank!

    just on a side note, i built a solid oak stand and hood for £140, granted im a joiner and bespoke kitchen fitter and get my materials cheaper and i do have the all singing dancing tools, but if anyone is handy with a router id happily post up some plans cutting lists etc i got an optiwhite tank...

    before i even start

    The reason of asking was the up works at 2 bar pressure, seems daft some of the better quality regulators have a restricted working bar pressure of 1-1.5 bar I'm looking the the tmc at the moment, the lunapet regulators seem to get good reviews also, a regulator to me is something you only want...

    does anybody know if you can adjust the working pressure in the aqua medic regulator to 2 bar ? cheers

    before i even start

    very creative, i think ill go with the inline atomizer and see how it goes, another concern i have is will the c02 and heat be distributed evenly as althought the spraybar is the length of the tank there separte bars from spearate filters entering one from either side one with inline heat and...

    before i even start

    im looking at the am1000 it states it needs 100l/h yet only has a 12/16 water port connection, so it will fit on the cristal profi 900 but obvisioly this only turns out 900l/h i was actullay re planning 2 1500 profis one for inline c02 and one for inline heater this will also giving me a full...

    before i even start

    I'm going down the c02 route using aquamedic regulator and solenoid using the inline method, seems like a daft question but on the outflow there will be an external heater this shouldn't effect the inline method should it? Also should I add in the cristal profi 900 now giving me 2400 l/h that's...

    before i even start

    It's certainly food for thought and will be looking at a different approach with regards to c02, I'll no doubt have a few questions, but that's why I'm here :D

    the reason for the penac is for the anerobic issues with substrate, i know you cant always belive what you read on bottles, but with me wanting the carpet effect id like peace of mind ive done all i can do with the substrate and adding a few extra quid for a little peace of mind isnt going too...
