Any recommendations for the outlet of the FX6? Them two little outlets are probably going to be too powerful.

Love the sketch haha. So the 1" pipe down the middle. Do you block that off at all or just let it go like normal? Whats the valve's intended purpose, not very good with pipping if I'm honest.

Honestly I'd love to get a FX6. I've read so much good stuff about it. However their tubing is too large for my inline, unless I can source a new inline which would work with their larger tubing, plus I'm worried their output might actually be too much for my tank. I'd love one though .

Cheers for the reply! What model would you recommend me?

Hey guys, I currently have a APS 1400 filter and to be honest its pretty poor, and thats a understatement. I have a 270 litre 4 foot tank. Currently stocked with 5 discus, shoal of rummys (20), 1 pleco, shoal of panda corys(12), 2 whiptail catfish and 2 yoyos. Its a high tech heavily planted...

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a new filter. My APS1400+ is pretty poor in terms of everything. I have a 260 litre tank, high tech with a inline diffuser (22mm OD tubing) and I keep discus, cory and rummynoses. What would you recommend? I'd like to keep it in the £100-200 area, more...

I believe my PH is around 6.6 ish, its hard to judge by the colour. I'd allow for a +/-0.2 margin of error. Do you know where I can pick up some of this chick grit? In terms of what kind of store? The link below is the closest thing I've found...

Cheers for all the replies guys, I should have went into a little more detail. I do believe the kit is fine, it does give me read-outs when needed. I wouldn't know how to test to make sure its right though. I am using tap water, no RO at all. The tap comes out at about 1.5-2.0kh. But come...

As the title says, I'm struggling to get above 0kh. I've tried using Alka-haul freshwater to bring it up but I have a 300litre tank and for me to bring the water to 3kh I have to use loads. Will end up costing me a fortune in the long run. My question is, how important is this? Its a high tech...

Hey guys, looking for some advice. I currently have a 4ft x 1ft x 2ft (W x D x H) Its stocked with 5x 5" Discus, a shoal of Rummynose's and a group of Panda Cory's. Its pressurised CO2 and high light so will be densely planted. However I currently have a APS1400 filter(old version) and its no...

Ahhh thats a lot less worrying then! So overall which would you say is my best choice? The 4 tube from iQuatics or the 6 tube pendent? I'd love to be able to grow lushish reds. But without going overboard and spending way too much.

I'm really surprised they're not water proof. Thats quite scary to be honest. Edit: Where do you recommend purchasing tubes from as their range that are included in the fixture is quite slim.

My current tank isn't a juwel. Its an Aquael Glossy 120. But it has the same sort of flaps & light fixtures as the juwel range. Just has LED's rather than tubes. How deep is your tank if I may ask, are you getting, happy, red growth?

Hey Ian, Thanks for the reply! I've had a quick look. What bulbs would you recommend? Ive only ever delt with LED's so I don't know much about T5's. Are the LED's I was originally looking at a bad idea? I only ask cause somone local is selling 4 of them for £350 plus the controller. Only...

These still a thing?

Anyone got a decent location in Newcastle for CO2? I feel abit wasteful buying and throwing out FE's

Hey guys, I've lurked for way long too so I've decided to finally make an account! I've had my planted tank running for a few months now with some basic led strips & aqua one plant Gro LED's. But I'd like to up my game to be able to grow anything I want to be honest, mostly red related plants...
