Latest pics 4th October

Update from 28th september.

Thats the same tee i used Ed works ok from my experiences. Got mine from here http://www.paraquatics.co.uk/paraquatic ... lang=en-gb just need to select sizes you require.

Good choice i'm looking for a 320d touring at the moment.

Sorry i have not updated this, i have got some recent pics but to be honest they don't do it justice as i have been slowly removing plants ready for rescape this weekend, to be honest nothing much had changed other than crypts are all tall and thick and bylxa is halfway up the tank, damn it...

I have to on my tank 1 per external reactor but only as the came with other bits i bought only really use it for reference once i've changed bottle but just tried to count it and i would say 4-6bps i just rely on fish behaviour and dc.

As it was my first real attempt and didn't know how the plants would do, and getting co2 right has been a nightmare especially after i found a leak the other day which hasn't helped now fighting to get rid of algae but hay its all part of learning curve, i have decided to leave it alone for a...

it is same as mine, worked been fine for past 6 months no problems what so ever

I bought some of TGM's own branded tweezers and after planting my 240l i can happily say they are fantastic.

I searched around everywhere for one of these but nobody in UK seems to stock them, they are on ebay but from US only. Why not just get the 300w which have 16mm connections

i will be going for both days this year.

its rooted in well and showing good signs of recovery crypts are doing extremely well, as is the stellata which pleased me as i was told if conditions aren't right it just stops so very pleased so far. I do have a few ideas which might be done soon..

Just a little update decided to take out the central peice of wood ad replace it with a smaller piece, i think it was supercoley that noticed it stood out, i am also thinking of adding some more crypts, I have bought 24 harlequins which were added monday, and i have bought another 12 in...

Update after 2 weeks, i have resolved my small algae issue and hopefully blyxa will fill back out after bottom 3/4 of plants turned brown and end up floating around tank.

Had my first set back last night blyxa was looking very sorry for itself turned brown and the base and falling apart only thing holding it down was roots from half way up stem , so spent 5 hours carefully removing it all stripping out the dead and replanting the newer growth so definately looks...

Quick update from today will post some close ups later.

Re: My 1st Journal quick update day 7. Everything seems to be growing nicely, some crypts have melted but not to much.

Re: My 1st Journal the co2 pipe and power go through a hole in wall directly into rear of cabinet. Just to left in pic is top of chest freezer for idea of height it stands just under 3ft tall.

Re: My 1st Journal I had hardscape in for about 3 weeks and altered it a few times but couldn't make my mind up and then due to lack of time just left it so has gradually grown on me, planned plants around scape and viewing angles as depending on which chair I sit in, the imppressions are...

Re: My 1st Journal It is other side of wall behind tank in porch/hallway out of harms way, its a tall bottle so with reg fitted and to side of tank i could see top of bottle which ruined view of tank, will take pic tomo.

Re: My 1st Journal A lot of time went into making sure i built the cabinet to incorporate everything except co2 bottle, so i would have easy access for maintenance etc

Re: My 1st Journal Reactor is working great thanks Ed, 3bps and i have a nice yellow drop checker and everythink is pearling nicely.

Hello everyone, This is my first journal and first serious attempt at a planted tank so your comments and advice will be much appreciated. Before i start i would like to say thankyou to ceg4048 for answering all of my messages, Ed for the clear pipe and advice when i made my reactor and...

What about this on http://www.firststopaquatics.co.uk/acat ... noid_.html works fine for me.

You could contact one of these members from the pfk link below they used your type of filter http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/f ... php?t=9101

If i remember correctly George Farmer did an article in pfk on one of his aquascapes using the pro 4 version perhaps he can help.

Try looking at eheim site for their instructions last time i went to lfs i looked at these and they are almost a copy of eheim pro series even down to green pipe work.

I just bought a wave regulator with solenoid for £53.76 delivered. http://www.firststopaquatics.co.uk/acat ... noid_.html

I looking at trying either tropica or jbl aquabasis substrate under akadama, my question is would the Shohin Double Red Line Hard Quality be better for plants like hc.

Hi everyone, I am in the process of aquiring equipment to set up my new tank juwel rio 240, so far i have purchased a ex1200 external plus some siporax as don't like the bioballs (will leave them in if you suggest they would be better) to run alongside juwel filter would prefer 2 externals but...
