Oh thats a shame

Because the light is always changing "like the sun" so from 10 till 11 the light doesnt change colour. Hope this helps sorry for the late reply

That actually looks pretty cool.

It seem to be growning but not really dying, it comes off really easy just a little rub with my finger. Well ive just taken my wood and me stones out of tank give them a good scrub (well needed not done since had tank) and ill see what happens. Would like to know what it is though cant really...

Its the burgundy red balls they are spreading all over my stones and wood. Please help thanks

Hey.. mine are going great I've turned them right down to 65% plants doing very well still get a small bit of algae but nothing to worry about. What co2 did you go for?? Was thinking about it a little while ago. Wonder if Halley ever got there lights from that website!!

Yeah very natural in my opinion. My plants totally changed colour you can see the different shades of green on different plants. With t5s just seem to be all one bright green

Hi. Try these links someone sent me they are very helpful http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/algae.htm http://www.greenaqua.hu/en/alga-tajekoztato

Great bit of info thanks. Yes I do have a juwel tank but taken out the original filter and put in a external and use a spray bar. I give it a good clean and seems to have kept the algea at bay for the time being. I have a fair few plants in there still figuring out what ones work best and...

Well let's hope it turns up this week

Hey Halley What's the news on your lights hope you got thing sorted.

Hey try mine.. _timboy I follow some decent fish accounts

Hello.. one of my lemon tetra swims near on vertical, I've read that it might be he's swim bladder. Might be a bit of a funny question but here goes. Will he be in a lot of pain??That kind of angle all the time, he is the biggest one out of all my lemon tetra so maybe its age I'm not sure. I...

Because of the light intensity you have them constantly on i think, that's the thing I don't really know how it works. And yes I have had a bit of algea that's why I've dimmed the white light by 15% and shortened full light an hour.

I see your point I've found it hard to judge how much proper photosynthesis light you get with these LEDs because of the gradual light. Wish there was a written rule for them. I couldn't find any timings on the Internet so I'm glad we are having this discussion now.

Nice bit of info .. I just made mine up to what I thought so great to see others. Mine goes. Dawn 0800-1000 white 0.5%- blue 60% Sunrise 1100-1200 white 85%- blue 100% Sunset 1730-1930 white 5%- blue 80% Dusk 2030-2130 white 0%- blue 100%

Hi all. What time does your sunrise end and sunset start?? I just put my sunrise end forward an hour so sunrise end 1200pm and sunset start 1730pm I only just turned my down to 85% due to algea issues not sure if the lights are the main issue though so I I've had to start somewhere. My...

Thanks for your help I will have a good read on that at lunch time.

Hi guys.. thanks for your help so far I really appreciate it. I rubbed and siphoned the algea away used about 15L of water I've turned down my LEDs to 85%. I will carry on doing my 25%weekly water change on Saturday. Is there anything else I should try to stop it from coming back?? Is it a...

Thanks for the quick reply. Tank is near windows but no direct sunlight. I have installed some new LEDs last week could it be something to do with that??

Hi. I have had my tank just over 3 months. Over the last couple of days I've bright green algea at the front of my tank, doesn't see to be anywhere else just above the sand and goes down about half way in to it the substrate.. Wondered if and can give me some info on it please??

I have a ehiem surface skimmer excellent little thing clears scum in no time. Recently brought an ehiem air pump with air curtain that has cleared the surface brilliantly so now I have no more use for surface skimmer.

Hi. That blue purple plants looks nice. Both lovely looking tanks

That would make a lot of sense maybe I will try 5% instead of 30% night light

It just my personal preference to have it totally black at night. Don't have a clue if it affects the fish or not. Be great to hear if anyone knew? Hard to say but my t5s was around 90/95% white. You will just have to play it by eye and turn the white down to try and match your t8s. I now have...

Wow exciting times. I think there brilliant. I'm sure your going to enjoy . I had the night light on throughout the night looks really cool at 30% blue 0% white but thought it was unfair on the fish so I changed it to total black out

Maybe give them a call or send an email, they might be able to sort something out. Also they have them on amazon but at even more of a steep price.

That's a good idea I found them very bright. The blue night light looks awesome. I'm a very happy man

Yup same charterhouse aquatic I found the cheapest also free dpd next day delivery.

Hi guys. Just to let you know I've got mine all set up and I'm very happy. The brightness is loads more then the previous 2 t5s I had in there before and they were only 3 months old, not sure if that's a good or bad thing?? I've just set the controller to the factory settings and just see from...

Tank looks awesome.. I see some lamp eye tetra in my lfs there only tiny and look really cool. Wish my tank wasn't full..

African butterfly cichlid get a pair or two stunning looking fish, great entertainment expescially when they spawn.. I also have hard tap water so far so good. Not sure if I can do this but check out my instagram page _timboy I have a little vid of them they are stunning

Linkinruss. Your tank looks smart. My light are coming tomorrow. Do you think there is to much light?? And can you have to much light??

Hi. Just ordered myself the light unit and controller, I can not wait. Does anyone have any tips? please.

Hi did anyone buy the juwel LEDs with controller?? I've received the controller just waiting on the lights(gf gonna kill me) . Just wanted some tips

Ok I will try that thanks for the reply michel. Do you know about the algea it kills off, I have otto and a bit worried it's gonna wipe out there food.

Maidenhead aquatics St Albans AL4 9HD They have helped me out so much with my first time tank. Friendly staff, awesome recent aquascape show tank (november), great selection on fish and plants. Shop is massive. And the best bit it's only down the road from my house.:)

Hi. I have I question about easycarbo.:) I brought some at the weekend and started dosing it every morning before I go to work. The timer on my lights are set for 1330pm and I'm planning on dosing at 0630am will It still work or will I be just wasting it? how long does it last for?
