    First tank help :)

    Hello :) If you want an average high tech setup you will probably need 3x more £ than you are planning to spend. Just for price guide lines co2 FE kits starts from ~100-120£. 2kg FE 35£..? Proper lights another 150-200£ and much more if you decide to go top quality brands. Filter plus piping...

    No :) I have 2178 600T and its 8L total capacity. When you buy 2 L pack of substrate pro you get even more than you can fill to the basket because it just simply will not sit correctly on other basket so you need to remove some like 50-100g spare :)

    Powerhead ... juwel wave creator

    Hello :) yes you are right. Powerheads just increase water movement and nutritions movement around the tank (higher flow rate). You can also chech Hydor Koralia range as they are good rated and kinda not overpriced!

    Not enough CO2

    Well I tested tank water today again when co2 was fully running.. kh 4 and ph 6.6 that means I have 30.1 mg/l co2 according the table shown above. That looks OK. I didnt get new dc solution today because my nearest lfs do not store them... I think I will order new solution from different sponsor...
  62. tadabis

    Not enough CO2

    Kh 4 and ph 6.8 when co2 is off. Will update results and retest ph when co2 will be fully going for 2-3 hours tomorrow.

    I am gonna repeat kh and ph test readings tomorrow and post the results also will get new solution for DC.
  64. tadabis

    Not enough CO2

    Yes. Like I said tank is new and running just 3 weeks but yes I am changing solution every week. Last time I changed it was today morning. Solution colour from the mini bottle looks kinda same but blue... it still looks like transparent blue when filling a DC. Will buy new different solution...
  65. tadabis

    Chihiros A series rough guess

    I think 2 fixtures would be better... at the beggining you can use just one, later on both. And get a dimmer in case you will need to dim a little bit to get more control of the light.
  76. tadabis

    Chihiros A series rough guess

    At 50 cm above the water surface I would say low... or you mean water collum height is 50 cm than I think it would be moderate or medium

    Long tank neglect - algae everywhere :)

    First of all do 4 days blackout and do not attempt to open a tank for a sec to have a look... just put something on it to completely cover any light entrance to your tank... after 4 day clean whatever you can and so a WC. than you can turn back on co2 and ferts.

    I read on Seachem website that prime is active and treats water in just about 2 minutes.

    How to know if your tank is cycling...

    But what about weekly water changes? what will happen if i leave 50% tank water and add 50% new water directly to the tank and then use prime to treat it? will it harm the fish and filter bacteria? So the only right way to treat water is just in separate container or bucket?
