    Any tips for glueing moss to wood?

    When I first attempted it I used liquid superglue and it left huge white marks all over the place. It didn't look very good but the marks very quickly disappeared under the moss, etc. So it doesn't really matter - just go for it.

    37x 17 x 18 custom built

    Great base and it'll look even better once the plants fill in. I also have lava rock and anubias growing out from between them, love the look. One problem I have found with lava rock is it degrads quite quickly so I have to hoover it - but plants take to it quickly and it looks good!

    JBL REGULATOR

    I meant O ring when I referred to the rubber seal before. There is no way the JBl regulator will fit on the co2 cylinder from the brewing company. I have managed to get the extra bits - hose barb and reducing connectors to fit on my new welding regulator but I'm not 100% happy with it. It is...

    JBL REGULATOR

    ok - so I decided to get a regulator and thought that would be the end of my problems. I bought one of these: http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/shop/co2-regulator.htm mainly because they could deliver next day. It fits the gas bottle but the outlet is way too big. Does anyone know of a reducing...

    JBL REGULATOR

    Yes, I have that. I even changed the rubber ring to a new one just in case the old one was slightly broken but it made no difference.

    JBL REGULATOR

    Hello, in need of some help. I use a JBL regulator on a JBL 2kg cylinder for my co2. However I've been getting fed up with the cost of the refills and opted to get a CO2 cylinder from a brewing supplier. That was great, cheaper and they deliver to the door BUT when I attached my regulator...

    Advice scaping deep aquarium

    I would suggest some sort of terracing with rocks and or wood. Here's an example I really like: http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org/2 ... ol=2&id=57 The benefit of building a terrace is you get rid of some height and it allows your aquascaping arms to reach the planting area much easier. It...

    TetraTec EX 2400 - review

    Hi, I'm setting up my tank and initially bought two Eheim 2128's. They turned up and were damaged in the post. I tried them out and were totally silent but they went back and I decided to get two Tetratec Ex1200's. I like the power and look of the filter but it does seem to be riddled with...

    Where to get wood?

    I spend a lot of time near the sea and have lots of driftwood lying about the house picked up from walks. Do you think given a soaking and wash these bits of sea driftwood would be alright to use? Cheers, Tony

I want to have an inline CO2 reactor but having looked at a lot on the market and the DIY designs that a lot of them have 90 degree elbows both entering and exiting the inline reactor chamber. Why...

    Filter options

    I think the Hydors are grear but I liked the idea of having the heater built into the filter. Neater option. Also the Hydors will not fit onto the FX5 without reducing the flow. My tank is 75 gallons and while I would love a sump to play with I've definately decided to go with the closed loop...

    Filter options

    I've got a drilled tank. The plan is to build an enclosed loop which I like to keep all the equipment below the tank. I'm thinking of the thermo filters so I don't have to put a heater inline. As i've only got two holes drilled into the tank - one for the in put and out put then this filter...

    Hi, I'm looking into buying a new filter and wanted to hear from anyone with an eheim that has the dual intakes. I like the sound of the Eheim Professional 3 thermofilter 2180. However i would only want to use one of the intakes. Is it possible to shut the other intake off and not use it...

    Fluval

    I've just found out that you can swap the hosing to non corrugated hosing. This is fine as long as the seals are tight.
