    Thanks I'll keep at it then. I think it ended up taking a bad turn because I have dimmed it back quite a bit as it was kinda bright. I'll pluck the leave and monitor the growth.

    140L Livingroom Tank

    Been at least a week. I've done a 50% water change and put the light on lowest setting. I have made a few changes to the tank as I made a impulse buy of cockatoo cichlids (orange) picked up a male and female. The female betas have no problem with them so far. I tried to take images but they...

    140L Livingroom Tank

    Thanks 20 pounds will be the cost I think. I also compared against my local Maidenhead. And the bottle was 500g refills 11.99.

    140L Livingroom Tank

    Upped to 2bpm. Day 1 with pressurised co2 (rock still there holding down the wood.) I have no idea when it will be waterlogged hopefully not too much longer as I have moss that I want to put there.

    140L Livingroom Tank

    Managed to squeeze in a water change before work. Currently home on lunch to check the tank on its first day on pressurised co2. Drop checker is green so that's good. I've read it's more of a guideline then a precise indicator. All of 5 fish are doing well and 28 shrimp aredoing their thing...

    Will Do :thumbup: The Brazilian pennywort arrived as well and I picked up some anubias nano coin. Still waiting on the monte carlo. I also took the liberty to take 2 tank photos since I had the wife's phone as my phone takes rubbish quality photos.

    140L Livingroom Tank

    Everything connected up. I read after turning on the solenoid to wait 30 mins before adjusting flow. So just waiting now. In terms of BPS I might start at 1BPS and take it slow see how things go. I used the wife's phone for photos hopefully they are alot better then the previous ones I've taken...

    Bought a CO2 2kg FE this morning for 29 quid @ H&R Fire and Safety in Leeds they also do refills as well. :)

    140L Livingroom Tank

    Thanks Jay, definatly gives me a good idea of what to expect timeline wise of a co2 bottle. I think only a 2kg bottle will for in my cabinet anyway. Seems FE is defo the way to go. The wood I got from tunnel aquatics was from a set of 3. I grabbed the largest one. :thumbup: Ive just seen the...

    140L Livingroom Tank

    Mine will probably be 130L taking the substrate and hardscape into consideration. This helps a lot tho thanks. I have a small tank as well in my gameroom I just redid this one as well.

    140L Livingroom Tank

    If you don't mind me asking how long did your bottle last you and how big is your tank?
  21. Simon Courtney

    140L Livingroom Tank

    Looks like I'm buying a FE. I've seen a thread on here I thnk removing the funnel on it to connect the regulater. I have the tools and if your saying the CO2 is good for tanks I might as well do it. Thanks man hopefully I can fit one in my cabinet big enough to last a while.
  22. Simon Courtney

    140L Livingroom Tank

    Is the quality of co2 inside a FE ok for a tank? If so then I probably would, but I still would need a place to refill. I found a place in Doncaster, but thats nearly an hour away (live in leeds) I also don't know how often I'd need to travel there to get a refill.

    140L Livingroom Tank

    So I've come across something awesome today. The wife and I were heading to whitby for a day out and we came across signs for a aquctic tunnel at a garden centre and we decided on a whim to park up and head in. I'm glad we did because I came across an really good piece of decor/wood. Plant...

    140L Livingroom Tank

    I will try and take as much pics as I can here. Before I load up some picture just gonna mention a few things. So i have actually had this tank for nearly 2 years and doing those 2 years it has gone through some changes and at one point it was actually self sufficient which i was proud of, but...

    I kinda want to take them off, but when I do I'll prob have a led light ready.

    A Beginners Venture

    Great minds think alike It does have much more space now. I was tempted to take the black sides off of my tank to have more visual affect but i didnt bother. Do you have a journal going?

    A Beginners Venture

    Straight to the point. 140L is doing alright havent had a prob really. Ive added few more plants etc I have decided to completely redo the 60L and make it a shrimp tank. I have 20 RCS so ill split them in half between both tanks. I have noticed a very annoying problem with my 60L tank...

    So here goes nothing. Let it be known i'm a total noob at this. I have three tanks in total, but I will only be focusing on two since one is a 24/7 QT tank. So my first tank ever was the superfish home 60 which I still have going. I have done a massive maintenance on both tanks today. Superfish...
