Well the T8 lighting bar has semi-given up on my roma. Thing is, its sort of integral to the tank having a lid, which it desperately needs. Does anyone know if the new iQuatics universal bar will fit? Or, have any other ideas?

EDIT - Thanks hoggie!

This is my 200L rainbowfish turned community tank. I'm only on day 11 so far, and its not finished yet. I'm going to add some C. Balansae for some height on the right, and to get a nice sway in the filter flow once they reach a good height. I had issues with leaking regulators so only today...

All sorted by Miroslav - the new solenoid plug is excellent, very swish looking, love the red light to tell at a glance in my dark cabinet if its on. No leaks this time!

Yeah and while they seem nice and everything, it really takes the mickey that they sent me a reg without a plug, without telling me to keep the plug from one of the others. Perhaps there is leaking issues with the dual stage regs they need to rectify?

UPDATE: All sorted! thank you! Had to post this, as I can't seem to get anywhere fast with CO2art. Bought their professional reg, the one with the blue working pressure adjuster. First one leaked from the high pressure gauge itself. They sent a new one. Second one leaked from the main...

That's simply not true. Its a lobbying group asking for a pledge. A politicians pledge is worth nothing in an election year, which is coming up. It would need to be tabled by an EU parliment member and then voted on. Right now? Its a website, and a leaflet. Of course politicians are going to say...

Well that may be your experience of them, but it wasn't mine.

I'm amazed that doesn't use a rechargeable lithium battery, but fair enough. Seems like a nice little camera.

If you are not likely to want to use a DSLR in the future, then stick with a compact like the powershot. If you aren't going to be learning how to shoot in manual, for which a DSLR would be far better to learn with, just make sure the compact you have has Aperture Priority mode, and ignore...

I am not so certain a higher price does exclude bad people from the hobby. Cars are a good example of this. Some of the most care less down right dangerous drivers I have encountered in my neck of the woods have been in high prices cars. Money does not necessarily equal sense. And cost of CPDs...

Before I purchase - hows this reg? Aquarium CO2 Dual Stage Regulator | CO2Art.co.uk - CO2 Aquarium Specialists The faq states it's working pressure is adjustable and is dual stage. And surely it'll be fine to go with this solenoid? CO2 Solenoid Valve For Planted Aquariums | CO2Art.co.uk -...

Looks like you are right. I did try it, but accidentally water had leaked into my CO2 tubing, which was good, because within seconds I noticed the water dripping from the compression fittings. Oh well, worth a go for a few quid. SO, which reg then? I have a CO2art solenoid, without needle valve.

That's the one exactly in. In the mean time I have some brass connectors and copper tubing a plumbing shop rigged up for me, though if it could get up to such a high pressure I don't know if I should risk it or not. Surely copper should be able to handle high pressure though

So, I'm having a little problem. I've just got a solenoid valve to add to my system. How-ever, it does not seem to actually fit onto the regulator, as the reg has a needle valve already installed. I tried hooking up co2 tubing between the reg, and the solenoid, but after 10 minutes or so, the...
