Thanks!

Eheim all the way

Archie and Boris, miniature smooth haired dachshunds. Trouble! Ps what's a GSD?

I've emailed tankscape

Sorry it wasn't eBay, it was tankscape I got them from! eBay was something else! Is Andy from tankscape on here or should I just email him at tankscape?

I'm getting co2 leakage when I'm fitting a new FE, I think I need new o rings. Has anybody managed to source ones which fit the Up A164 regulator?. I bought some of eBay but they don't fit this model. Cheers

Is that a 2kg fe? Good price, where from if you don't mind me asking?

My nymph came with a small leave, I then planted it in my tank, a couple of more leaves emerged but didn't really grow. It then lost all leaves from the bulb. The bulb was knocking about my tank and did nothing for about five months. Then, all of a sudden a few wee shoots appeared then over the...

Tim from TA got back to me and said 12 months in the fridge. I too, am decanting into a small tub for my "in use" food. Do you think freezing would be ok Darrel?

Holy moly! Got 3x150g, didn't realised it'd be so much! I have liberated some screw top, air tight containers ( conveniently the same size as 150g bag) from work. How long will the flake keep in the bags+containers in the fridge for do you reckon?

I also use an inline heater (hydor) and an inline atomiser (up). Which you couldn't do with an internal of course

Hi, You'll have the filter unit in the cupboard beneath your tank (assuming there is a cupboard/you have it on a cabinet) with the water going in an inlet pipe down to the filter canister and then another pipe returning to the tank. You can then have a variety of outlet's on your return pipe but...

Order placed with TA. Just went for their standard tropical mix, hoping for good things! Price was a good start, thanks for the tip.

Nice. I was in ikea yesterday and got some strip LEDs for under the kitchen cupboards. £11 for 3 strips Assembling to 75cm but you can add more strips for extra length. Work well in the kitchen. Was thinking about getting a set to go my tank hood for a dawn/dusk setting. Will be now I've seen...

I get that too. Was wondering the same, be good if someone could give a definite answer!

Thanks for the feedback so far!

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum. Or if its been done before!! i was just wondering which brands of dry food people would recommend? I'm looking for sinking pellets and flake Suggestions please. my fish stock contains tetras, corys, SAEs, and red tail plecs. I am aware of giving a...

As a relative newbie myself (18 months in on this planted lark!) I'd say read as much as you can off of the forum. There's tons of great advice here and don't be shy to ask. Have a look at the journals, particularly those by other newbs. That'll help with your planning and also to avoid the...

Now that Insideoutside is shut (I believe) where's theft top shop in Scotland then? I like maidenhead aquatics for fish but all my plants come Aquaessentials

I have been using an up adjustable reg for the last 18 months with absolutely no probs, highly recommend it.

Nightmare!!

Anytime Ive had fish gasping at the top it's been because of insufficient gas exchange at the surface. going from your pictures: I would say the single out let from the filter return isn't causing enough surface agitation to sufficiently exchange gases. Can I ask why you're not using a spray...

Hi, Check out the algae section of the forum for tips. Here's a starter http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=905 There's some expert folks on here who will give you great advice. Unfortunately I'm not one of them! Good luck!

I've been running the regulator in the second link with aFE for over a year now and have absolutely no problems with it. I think that price is better than what I paid too! You will need a plug adapter of course.

Could you cut a hole in the bottom of the cabinet? Depends on the space available I suppose.

It does flower regularly but I tend to chop it off after a few days. Would the seed normally be produced at the flower end or is produced down near the bulb?

Here's an addition for Scotland. Mayfair Fire Protection Ltd 29 Castle road Bankside Industrial Estate Falkirk FK2 7UY 01324 637898 The name of the company has changed, I can't remember what but that doesn't matter as they still trade under Mayfair fire. I phoned ahead to arrange it and the...

Hi all, Was just wondering if anybody had some top tips for growing bulb plants. I have an aponogeton ulvaceus which is going great guns and has been great since day one. However I have an aponogeton madagascariensis and another bulb plant (not aponogeton spp, but I've forgotten what it was)...

had a look on the UP website and they're new super range. would the double tube be the best or is that just more to go wrong?? thoughts anybody?

i have an eheim filter and i bought some replacement white pads from a website as the pack of ten was way cheaper. when they arrived they weren't in any branded packaging. they look the same and I'm not complaining as they're doing the job fine. however, im pretty sure this company is doing...

Yep I tried cleaning it out: soaking, soaking in bleach solution and scrubbing the inside. It never worked though I'm afraid. When you say there is a new version out, how new is new? I had a look and looks like the what I had before

Needs to be inline. Just wondered if there was any others available. Tank is approx 270L

Excellent idea, cheers

I used to have a functioning up in-line atomiser, as it is now no longer functioning I was wondering, is this the inline diffuser of choice?mis it number one or should I be looking at something else? Any thoughts?

Thanks for the input guys, I used to have a section of sand but it ended up mixing with the ADA so I took it out during the last re-scape. Any top tips for keeping a sand section separate? I have been doing roughly a 40% water change weekly (or as near to weekly as possible) and cleaning the...

Hi, I was just wondering if I would be needing to replace my substrate after a period of time. I set the tank up a year or so ago, using ADA Amazonia substrate. Now, is it advisable to change the substrate out? I'm just wondering if keeping it in and not refreshing it could be detrimental to the...

Yeah I bought some sae and Amano shrimp. Worked a treat, wish I'd saved the tenner spent on the algexit on fish!

cool, will leave it and see what happens

Hi, my aponogeton ulvace us has produced a long thin growth with what looks like a reed type growth on the end. Can anyone explain what this is please??

Has anybody used algexit with any success? got some the other day and started using it as i saw the first few sprouting algae since i did my re-scape. however I'm only seeing more algae coming through. i do need to get my co2 back up and running, hopefully today. Anyway some feedback on peoples...

Hi folks, Thanks for getting back to me. I had tried opening the needle valve but to no avail unfortunately. @ady, if the diffuser was never removed from my return tubing is it likely to have dried out? there is still water in the airline from the diffuser to the bc. I might see if i can get a...

Hi all, After breaking my tank down to do a clean and re-scape I'm struggling to get my CO2 system to start up again. Its a FE and regulator through bubble counter into UP atomiser which was working perfectly before I did the re-scape. I didn't touch where the tubing enters the atomiser but I...

Quick email to hydor, really speedy reply and equally speedy action by me sees one cheque in the post for new part. Sorted. Hope it comes soon :clap:

OK, so Ive managed to bust the basket cover for my koralia 4000 powerhead by mistake :thumbdown: and hence it will no longer attach. Does anybody know if and where I can get a new basket from?? Don't fancy forking out for a whole new one when only the basket is knackered. Fingers crossed it...

Excellent, thought that might do it but best to ask first! does it have to be neat or should I use a dilute solution?

Hi, I'm doing a re-scape of my tank and i plan to re-use my rocks and wood. However these items do have a fair bit of algae growing on them that I want rid of before I put them back into my rejuvenated tank. I am aware that a high dose of easy carbon applied directly to said algae will kill it...

Hi everybody, Have just bought a 75gpd RO system and have an idea how i would like to set it up but not sure if it'll work this way or not. At present in a cupboard in the kitchen I have a filter plumbed in which feeds water to the fridge. What i would like to do is tap into this plumbing...

How much does it usually cost for a 2Kg FE refill? I have been quoted £18 and thought that seemed expensive. Also, I live In Falkirk does anybody know of places where I can get my refill done? Cheers

OK, cheers folks. Gonna try and extend my spray bar along the length of my tank (rather than then breadth) and mess about with the positioning of it and also my CO2 rate. Has anybody knocked up a DIY bar extension? any tips and recommendations for sourcing appropriate pipe?

I have my tank set up in the corner of my living room, I have an eheim 2075 with spray bar but the noise of the water returning to the tank is driving the missus demented. I tried having the spray bar below the water level but soon had a near disaster. not enough surface agitation and hence not...

Thanks

Got my new regulator through with adjustable working pressure to team up with inline diffuser. Was just wondering if it is ok to insert said diffuser into the return pipe before my inline heater? Or does it have to go after the heater?

A153 has been sent back. A164 has been ordered. Turns out that one was actually £10 cheaper. Doh!!! However it is coming from abroad so Ill have to wait a while for it which is frustrating when the last piece in my co2 set up came today! Oh well, good things come to those who wait and all that.

Do you mean it's NOT working pressure adjustable?

Ok, I know I may be going over some old ground goIng by some threads I've managed to find but I've got a query of my own. I've purchased the up atomiser which I'll pick up tomorrow and I've got an up regulator Waiting to get hooked up to my FE. However the regulator is the up A153 which I...

Yep it is oak, got it from Maidenhead aquatics. I believe they call it the modern oak 120cm.

Oh dear, I hope thats not the case! The reg doesn't have an additional valve control other than the needle valve as far as I'm aware although it does have the two pressure dials. Have you used the reg before and it's been unsuccesful? It's the Up inline diffuser I'm waiting for. I'd tried to...

Hi everybody here's a few pics of my first planted tank coming together, any comments would be welcomed (good or bad!). Some info: 230L tank (approx) lighting from two T5 (Sylvania Grolux and Narva Biovital) Eheim Pro3 600 filter Hydor inline...

Hi George, Thanks for getting back to me with your advice and pointing me in the direction of those helpful links, most appreciated. I notice you're from Stamford, Im down your way (I live up in Scotland) in a couple of weeks to visit friends, can you recommend any LFS in the area I should...

Thanks Foxfish, If I went for 2x T5, what wattage would they need to be? I am going to try and set up CO2 as well in my new tank.

Hi everybody, complete newbie to the world of high tech planted tanks so please forgive any naivety/obvious lack of knowledge! I am about to receive a new 120x45x60cm tank which I need to kit out from scratch and I am looking for some advice from some experienced heads out there! I intend to...
