    Superfish Home 25 First aquascape (Looking for advice)

    MC does pretty well under lower light conditions..... it’s a try and see scenario I guess but I’ve grown it under cheap lower light leds a couple times ..... just grows a little slower but once filled in it seems to thicken quite quick.

    What lighting for TMC Signature 600?

    The tmc tiles would look pretty cool on the bracket fit...... I think Ian holdich had the setup over one of his tankshttp://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/aquagreen-the-end.21804/ Some pics there..... Second hand ones are quite reasonably price to ;)Actually he has the beams but work on same principle

    TMC V2 Pro Regulator?

    I totally agree hence why i purposely mentioned the lack of being able to change the working pressure, substandard i don't agree with, there is many other methods of diffusion that it works perfectly fine with and methods that many still use... for this reason alone, it is still a perfectly...
  12. JenCliBee

    TMC V2 Pro Regulator?

    I have to disagree tbh, the only down side in comparison is the non adjustable working pressure but for build quality, me personally would chose the TMC everytime, ive own and used more than one of both and just found the JBL quite a cheap feel in comparison... it's just the non adjusting...

    You cant go wrong then mate :)

    TMC V2 Pro Regulator?

    Pretty good, well built reg's but i don't think the working pressure is adjustable which causes it to have problems running an UP atomiser.

    Yes to both of the above mate, there actually good quality considering the price, obviously the build quality isn't as good as Arcadia units but the price reflects that. but..... overall, For me they look very good for the price and certainly worth having and not just for somebody starting...

    Unless your comparing them to something like an Arcadia there actually pretty good, build quality is relatively strong and they do last, definitely worth the money :)

    Cheap powerhead

    In all honesty I can't say I've found them any noisier than koralia's, If anything they have been quieter from my experience.

    Because it's not stable mate and unstable co2 leads to problems as many will know and have experienced :thumbup: .... the other side is i would 'need' to add ferts which the whole point really was to use none... adding co2 basically makes everything else harder to balance and more work involved...

    Suggestions in a box! Pleco species please

    It will depend on how the tanks is planned to be setup?.... are you using pressurised co2?, substrate?... etc. Most plec species, well tbh no plec species would be suitable for a hightech pressurised tank but if conditions are altered slightly, some would be more suited than others.
  56. JenCliBee

    Higher heights - 54L to 70L 'upgrade' rescape...

    I actually really like it... it has a really nice natural feel.... the only thing i would suggest you try maybe, bank/slope the substrate high to low from back to front at an angle where the wood is situated to give some height.... did that make sense? lol

    Plecoplanet will give exactly the same advise i assure you ;).... life expectancy is considered to be around 15-25 years and thats considered the age range for a broad volume of plec species.... however, ive had very healthy plecs die at the ripe old age of 5-6 years with no visible...

    First Planted Tank - High Tech

    LOL... no not at all mate.... I'm just making you aware of the potential risks tbh..... ive contemplated adding zebs to a hightech tank many many times but the voices at the back of my head have always put me off.... i think it's more the potential risks...but them potential risks could be fatal...
  62. JenCliBee

    First Planted Tank - High Tech

    Surface agitation unfortunately is only really relevant in non co2 tanks, the very high temps required to keep zebs means before you even start the oxygen levels are low (higher temps = low oxygen levels).... yes agitating the water can add the required levels of oxygen, however inputting large...
  63. JenCliBee

    First Planted Tank - High Tech

    Your going to need a hell of alot more hiding places in that tank to make the zebs feel comfortable aswell as raising the temp to at least 82-84..... that sort of temp from what i can make out isn't exactly optimal for plants.... i think you will also struggle to obtain the amount of oxygen...

    The ultimate DIY spray bar, your opinion please

    I think your find you get more of a crashing wave effect... basically the flow hitting against each other and cancelling the flow out so to speak.... from what i can make out and from experience a full length spray bar across the rear is most effective.
