cheers for the comments guys ,ceg i have already switched the filter back to full flow as like you said think i had my thoughts crossed with regards slower flow. i have the choice of either a 5kg bottle or a 2kg bottle but was going to use the 2kg most the time as fits in cabinet and use 5kg...

hi there , i was wondering if after a while away (ex wife lol )some of you would take a look over my new adventure and see what you think of the set up and proposed regime.was hoping that the lighting/co2/fert regime would allow the growth of a glostostima carpet ? tank details osaka...

cheers guys ceg your the man, have ordered the 4kh solution and upped the co2 in anticipation of a light upgrade . should i just turn them on or increase gradual over a week or two ? Also tried reading the thread ei dosing and not sure if im meant to be increasing the fert dosage at all or...

cheers ceg was just checking as regard the water changes as i am now doing the same as you and using a garden hose on a slow fill,so cheers for the clarification the lighting issue is that as i am now dosing as per your advice and the algae has died right back i was thinking of changing the t8...
