    Aquascape Filter Help

    I have an Archaea Dual Gauge Pro CO2 Regulator. In the photo you can see the Wyin Multiway Connector, but it wasn't originally hooked up when my tank emptied in to my aquarium.

    Aquascape Filter Help

    ROADMASTER: I purchased my spray bar from here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rain-Bar-Unit-for-47-fish-tank-Outflow-Pipe-16-22mm-/270692904165 shipping takes a while, but it's better than having to DIY in my opinion IAN_M: 1. my tank had already cycled and been established for about 6 months, which...

    Aquascape Filter Help

    Thanks for the response, I'm attaching a photo to this post, it was taken a couple weeks ago, so things have filled in quite a bit since then. I've also seen the addition of brown algae in that timespan. I have a spray bar coming in the mail, but it will take a bit to get here. I also...

    What level should I aim for with my nitrates? And two other ?'s...

    So what you are saying is that rather than overdosing being the cause of algae, it's more lack of nutrients that could be the cause? I'm glad to hear it will be cheaper, and Barr's EI seems relatively simple to follow. Also wondering if you have any opinion on my nitrate levels. I have three...

    What level should I aim for with my nitrates? And two other ?'s...

    Hi guys, I currently have a 90 gallon tank. Water is 77 degrees Fahrenheit. My CO2 runs from 9AM-7PM at about 4-5BPS, my LED runs 10AM-3PM(15min fade out), and my 2x54T5HO run 2:40PM-8PM. I dose all flourish products: excel (every other day), potassium and iron (once a week), and flourish...

    Some Plants Dying

    So I just went through the process of rescaping my 90Gal tank--from the ground up. I added 2x54 T5HO lights next to my Hagen LED, an additional API XP3 Large, and I added Fluorite sand and gravel substrate. I replaced some of my old plants and change my layout quite a bit, but a few of my...

    constructing better flow

    Hey it's tax return season here, might splurge a bit and do it anyways. I've learned the hard way it's always better to spend a little more for the better products than cut corners. Thanks for the information, really appreciate it.

    constructing better flow

    I just emailed my local shop, hoping to hear back soon. That inflow is far more aesthetically pleasing than the blue ones that come with the XP3. I was honestly trying to figure out how I could hide both of my inflows with my rescape, but with something like that, you'd almost enjoy showing it...

    constructing better flow

    I know exactly what you mean Wisey. What I ended up with was a collision in the front/top/middle part of the tank, driving everything downwards in that one spot, leaving out the back two corners. I experimented a bit and found something that worked out a little better, but when I rescape in two...

    constructing better flow

    Awesome link, thank you. I guess my question now though is, which one is better, two jets or one spray bar?

    Aquascape Filter Help

    Hey all, I'm currently gearing up to redo my initial aquascape into a creation that shows the lessons i've learned and the experience i've gained. I have a 340L: 123x47x65CM tank. I have two API Rena Filstar XP3 hooked up, each one doing 1324LPH. They come equipped with a jet flow outlet...

    Lighting Help Please

    Have another Rena Filstar XP3 (large) on the way. Also adding a 48-Inch Marquis T5HO Freshwater Dual Lamp to my tank to run with the LED that I currently have. Can't wait to see the results! Thanks!

    Lighting Help Please

    Wow, I had no idea it needed to be that much of a turnover, I really thought 4x an hour would work great. So if I install a second xp3, and continue with the CO2, then a stronger light would become benificial? I was looking at the Aquaray Grobeam 1500 Ultra but after hours of research couldn't...
