I've had problem from day one. Still having problems now. Just had one light sent back from repair. As Soon as I plugged it in' the next light will not sync with the other 2. This is the response I got from customer service today...... I have our international rep contacting ITC Aquatics in the...

Well I never new that! Garden centre it is then. Gutted I've just spent £15 for 50g of dried moss from a frog shop online

Thanks zozo I hope it takes to expanding foam as that's the background of my tank. Is they another substance I could blend it with to make it sticky. I believe yoghurt will go mouldy and start to smell in my tank! So bright lights for long periods will benefit the terrarium if constantly moist

I'm considering collecting different mosses from my garden. Will they grow in my terrarium? If so is they any types of species I should be looking out for. New tank set up 75-80 and high humidity. I'm wanting to blend the moss with dry sphagnum moss and paint it on my background and logs

Nothing in Manchester

Makes sense to drink the beer lol. How do I get dwarf ferns seeds? They grow on the underside of the leafs. I was under the impression they would grow if adding to the mix. Do any of you know we're I can buy a dry mix from that just needs water adding

I've been reading about putting in different mosses and ferns. Blending it with yoghurt or beer? Is this recommended? Also what ferns can be blended to get them growing to?

How am I ment to get heat inside my tank if they is no water in there

Thanks Darrel I've been reading about putting it in a food blender making a wet paste and painting it on background or logs Does this really work???

Hi am making a paludarium for my frog tank and I'm wondering what would be the fastest speeding moss I could buy to plant Also what other plant suggestions would you recommend?

Sorry I read it as 900ml. Thanks for that I'll get that in order seachem flourish excel. I have bought 5ltr of h202 Can I do spot treatment with the h202

500ml Seachem Flourish Excel Warehouse Aquatics £14.69 SHOP +£1.99 shipping Expensive stuff I'll need 4 bottles is this right stuff

Thanks for this info but what is the excel for. Is this necessary because I don't have plants in the tank

Before I mess this up big time as I'm messing with some dangours stuff dose this sound right My tank is 7ft x 24 x 24 = 174 uk gallon Adding 3% h202 food grade 1044ml to the aquarium.? Is this going be safe for my discus and will is shift this BBA ? how long will it be active for in the tank?

Best think I've heard so far. Although I've thrown out £90 worth of substrate and just left with fish in my tank. Still getting this growing on my tank and pipes so am going give it a go. I've got 17 discus in my tank so I'll move these in to buckets as I don't want to harm these. And I'll go...

It's been weeks of scrubbing now but the stuff growers back faster each week. We have to drain the tank of 700ltr each week and scrub it of. The tank is so big I can not get in to do the cleaning so I send in my daughter It really is getting us down now. The only thing in the tank is substrate...

So with good water circulation it will work?

Will a uv light ran through my external filter get rid of this algae

Basically I'm screwed then as I can't move my fish so can't sterility my filters' fish would die as my tank would no longer be mature. I have 13 large discus 100s of red noise and cardinals and many other fish in the 7x2x2 tank BBA HAS RUINED MY LIFE cost me 3k set this system up and that's...

Well I think I must off brought this horrible algae in from my local pet shops. I tried all sorts to get rid of this and fighting a loosing battle. My 900ltr tank has now been stripped of all plants and bog wood. I've cleaned this algae from the back of glass. And at the week end I'm going to...

Should I have the thicker end coming from the top of the tank with the thinner end leading to the middle of the tank or other way around?

I've got 3 on the 7ft tank and its plenty, yes very expensive, cost over £1000 with stand £1200 rings a bell' the mount is very much over priced

I've bought this nice looking pice of wood today and now soaking it in the bath What plants would you strap to it?

Radion fresh water, great bit of kit :)

Yes the hair grass is a pain in the Butt. My jullii corys keep in roofing it as it throws out runners. Just added 8 discus at 2inch. They are a bit shy at the moment

Last night photo as the lights was switching off

Thanks all for your input Yes Dan that really helps, I'll get on to co2 liquid

Thanks mike I've also read that. I believe it's hard to get rid of. I've raised co2 and cut back on my dry salts. Just picking it off now as I maintain. Plenty of water changes. I was getting a bit lazy with the water changes I must admit

This is really bad now. Is they an easy way to get rid of this?

Both diffusers was leaking. So I contacted co2 art as they supplied them in September. And they replaced them the same day. Excellent service from co2 art. My tank is running smooth again

Yes I've stripped them both and cleaned them and poped them on the radiator to dry. Just manages to set it all up again. Every thing is now tight as can be. Let's see what happens!

Could it be some thing to do with the ceramic part in the diffuser????

It's been off for about 2 weeks

i ran out of co2 over Xmas. So went with out it for a week. Any how' I've had it back on and by bubble counter is almost a constant stream of bubble but my drop checker is still blue! Why?

I have what looks to be spots of black fluffy algae growth on some leafs

http://www.amazon.co.uk/10000l-SuperECO-submersible-Filter-XTP-10000/dp/B00LPX4GGK What are your thoughts on this pump. Will it do for my system

I thought k1 was meant to sit under the surface of the water? I've bought 100ltr and its floating

That would see me out! Well built They was a wonky leg at the front. As long as no one kicks them they will be fine ;-) I'm not worried about it, they are full of water and all is well for now. I'm just concerned about the right pump for the system

Lol time will tell. They look fine at the moment, ive actually put more supports under were I think is needed. Plus it's braces in from wall to wall with 18mm ply on top of the 2x2 frame work. Keeping in mind the 900ltr is spread over 4 meter by 1 meter area

Installed overflow system. The depth of water can be ran at 6inch for raising fry or 12 inch for growing them on. Still undecided on the pump I need to use on the K1 filter. Please all suggestions welcome, some thing with power but low what. My set up 1000ltr so with 10,000 ltr pump per hour...

Co2 levels are fine. The currant in the take looks fine. All the leaves on the plans are moving in the mayhem of the fluval fx6 and the maxspect gyre. I have the Co2 running in to 2x 204 fluval that are distributing it from the left and right side of the tank. I copied the diagram you sent me...

Perfect

That was my next step but wanted to avoid that really as I'm not ready for using the water

Not sure what the small one is

Yes ok' I'll try the one 1h at 100%

I have a question that may be one of you friendly bunch can answer How many ltr is the blue drum. Is it 200?

When I turn the lights up I get algae! They are running on 50% at the moment

Another one here guys. It's a fast grower. I'm wondering if this can be fixed to bog wood to

Thank you mick I'll split it tomorrow and tigh it to some wood with fishing line :-)

Can you I.D this please What's this plants name? Can it be split up? Will it attach to bog wood?

3 month later. I'm struggling get this hair grass to carpet. It's shooting out runners extremely slow. I'm wondering if you have any tips on getting this to grow!

I totally agree with you on the filteration. I'd think 15% water change per day is more than enough. Any more could flush out the essentials in the filter. And yes I'm going to be breeding Pearlscale goldfish. Natural sunlight is the key but I'm in a basement :-( i will be building an out door...

It's getting there slowly. Cash money's hold me back on these project. I have been talking to a few ornamental Goldfish breeders and they don't use biological filters! They run the tap water through there hose pipes and at a valve with a drip system' creating an 100% water change per day. Is...

I popped in 2 of my gold fish last night' black moor and they have almost eaten the lot with no damage to the hair grass

Bloody bulb is broke :( So I'm thinking this pump...

Well I have this UV maybe I can convert it some how to the new system

What I don't understand is why will it have to be turnover 10x per hour. Is this not to fast ? And a U V is this nessesury

I forgot to mention that the pump will be sat 4 ft under the vats on the ground. Not sure if this makes any differance to what size pump I need

Set up is not finished but the water from the pump( filter) will flow out of the 15mm White pipe' fill the vats and water will over flow out of the black taps to the front of the vats back to the filter. The flow from the White pipe can be adjusted accordingly The red tube is connected to the...

10,000ltr per hour. Will this not be running to fast through the filter? Also my pipe work is only 15mm with 6 out lets with taps conected. It would be like a huge spray bar. Would this be ok?

I'm going to run the fluid bed that james sugested on the first page of the thread. Am not sure these sponge filters will Handel raising the fry on there own so I can run the air sponges along side of the k1 fluid bed. I have 900ltr of water to run through the filter and I'll be using 100ltr...

Great so I'm ready to go right away. :-)

I have an 800ltr tropical tank. When I do a 400lter water change. Am I better of putting it in the vats below? If I do this can I add fish right away

Yes I'm cycling the sponges. The big black pond filter was taken down 18 months ago. It still had its medium in and was full of water. I'm guessing it will still be fine to use. So I plumbed it up to my spawning tank and fitted the sponges to get them ready for the black vats. I'm going get the...

Almost there now

What other fish or creature will get rid of this? I've got some showing as well, it's growing in the hair grass. I got some Otocinclus Catfish fish. About 10 of them but they are not clearing it

The images of the double sponge filters ive bought of eBay. Will the biological load be efficient for raising the fry if I'm doing a 10 water change each day

What a set up Brian has. Wish I had that sort of cash flow :-)

The ones I was looking at was £30 each. After looking at them images they look simple to make

They are 150 ltr black storage tubs for raising fry, 6 in total Was thinking to use 2 of them double sponges in each tank Members on this thread highly recomend them, keeping each tank isolated from the others in case of disease, running them all through a large sump could wipe every thing out...

I found these £1.31p each, how do they make them for that? I had to buy 12 at that price

Or these' I thought they was called hamburger filters lol, they do resemble them a little' just a little bit Will they hold solid to the bottom of the tank or are they prone to float to the top

Yes I was looking at these but I thought to expensive £30 each I found these Was thinking of putting 2 in each container? How efficient are they and can you put new sponges on after they are worn out.

Managed to get the room plasterboarded and plastered, also fitted a vent and have a large dehumidifier. Still unsure what system I'd want to use. May be them hamburger filters. Can any one recommend any good ones?

I'm wondering if I leave Co2 running full time' will this help stop algae growing?

Must be to much light but no algea or hungry otto cats as no algea in tank. This is a slow growing tank? Why I'm dosing salts, got good light and Co2 Can't find the missing fish must of broke down and sucked in the filters?

Just got back of my holiday and lost A few fish rummy noises and cardinals Also 1 plant is starting to brake down? I've carried out A 50% water change and also noticed no algae. My lights Was on 50% ( radion led ) I've put them up to 100%, they Was no plant growth while I was gone so hopefully...

The video did not load until after I made the last post, thanks for shearing

What's a fluid bed

It's quite pricey tho I'm going to need to fill a barrel so I'll need about 8 sacks They must be a cheaper alternative

Ha ha brilliant, you could of ended up in jail for a few days. Them Thai don't mess about

I have an hma fitter from my old discus set up. I'll be running my tap water through this. form what I remember r.o systems are quite pricey, I'm not on a water meter so that's not really an issue for me, I've managed to buy 6, 150ltr vats for breeding the pearscale goldfish ( the zebra plec...

I like the idea with the air driven sponge filters. With a hole drilled in the front of the tank at the 50% water change mark! With a tap fitted leading in to a gutter system then a water butt, My problem is getting the water out of the basement

I like it" but the problem I have with this is that the tanks will have to be full at all times. The fish I'm thinking of breeding is L26 and I'm understanding that the tanks are kept half full and to trigger breeding you need to increase water lever with softer water. I may be wrong! Using...

Hi all I've got a spare room in my basement so why the devil not convert it to a fish room! It already hads a stand for a row of fish tanks. The walls just needs plaster boarding and then plastering. Thinking of having a row of 4 tanks 3ft x 15" x 15" with drill holes feeding in to a large...

Parts per million of dissolved salts

What's the ppm range my planted tank should be in. At the moment it's only 100ppm Ec 0.2 What should it be in' or should I say what's a healthy ppm for the plants and fish. I almost forgot to mention that I'm dosing salts

My clean up crew Otocinclus Catfish - got Snail: Malaysia trumpet snail Assassin snail - got Nerite Snail - got Red Rams horn snail Shrimps: Cherry shrimp - got Amono shrimp What else is worth adding to this list

I don't mind the wood turning green. I just don't want it growing on my plants and glass

I under stand what your saying. led are not as bright as metal halide, I'm hearing that if I have led I need run it full power. Now I no not to ;-) I have gained growth in my plants. My grass is staring carpeting, my knot weed has grown 4inch So now I'll have to run it at 40% will the green...

Ok guys so what are the 2 pressure gauges for on the regulator if they don't tell you how much Gas in in the tank I bought a new one today to keep on safe side

Ok I'm starting to see the bog wood getting green patches :( Shall I drop the light to 50% Will this stop the bog wood going green
