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.
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!
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...
ok - so I decided to get a regulator and thought that would be the end of my problems. I bought one of these:

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...
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...
I would suggest some sort of terracing with rocks and or wood. Here's an example I really like:

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...
I'm after some Erect moss. It seems to be a lot harder to get hold of since the last time I grew it. Does anyone know of anyone selling it here/to the UK?
Thanks,

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...
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,

Hi guys,
I'm just looking for a bit if advice. I'm about to drill a tank and experiment with whether to use a closed loop system or a sump. I would prefer having a sump but need to try it out to see how quiet I can make it. My question is if I have a Durso stand pipe is it really necessary to...
Hi all,
I'm re-setting up an old tank of mine and I'm at the point of choosing all my equipment. 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...
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...
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...
Hi,
I am starting to put back together an old 65gallon tank. I want to use a Fluval FX5 filter. I also would like to use an inline reactor and inline heater. Is tthis possible with the Fluval corrigated tubes?
Anyone had any experience?
Thanks
