Hi I'm currently using a 2KG FE and I can get a maximum of about 35psi with my CO2 Art regulator by turning it right up to maximum. Just wondered if this was normal? It's not a problem, it's just that I expected to be able to produce a higher pressure than this... Thanks Will.

Hi I've recently started up a new aquarium. It's an Aquascaper 900 (3ft) high tech / CO2 injected / EI. All is going brilliantly at the moment. My question is with regard to CO2 diffusion though: I recently watched a video on YouTube by George Farmer and he mentions that he would not use a...

Hi Started my first high tech and I need to trim my Monte Carlo I think? Does it look like it needs it? Do I just trim a little bit off the top with scissors? Cheers Will

Hi, Just in the process of setting up my new aquarium. Been keeping planted tanks for a few years now, but this is my first high tech attempt! Currently my equipment is: 180L Aquascaper aquarium. CO2 injection (currently 2 to 3 bps without fish). Heavily planted. EI 5 days per week. Twinstar...

Hi Just setup a new Aquascaper 900 180L with a Twinstar 900s. Got my lights running at 70% to start with. Has anyone got one of these? Does that sound ok? Cheers Will

Hi, I'm setting up my new CO2 regulator and bought the ADA clear parts set which contains suction cups, check valve and silicon hosing (for the low pressure side after the check valve). So in the diagram it says that it should be: Regulator > High Pressure CO2 hose > Check valve (high up on...

Hi, I've recently bought a CO2 Art dual stage regulator (from the new location in Germany). It's this one here: https://www.co2art.eu/collections/co2-regulators/products/pro-se-series-aquarium-co2-dual-stage-regulator-with-integrated-solenoid It's a fantastic regulator... Seems to be very...

Hi I'm currently changing over aquarium and am going to re-use my 4 TMC Aquaray Grobeams. I was using 2 of them on my closed top 125L but I'm moving to a 180L open top where I can suspend them. I can also improve c02 injection with my new dual stage regulator. Trouble is that I've not had a...

Hi Planted Aquarium Experts! I'm currently in the process of setting up a 180 litre Aquarium to replace my current 125 litre. The new aquarium is an open top Evolution Aqua AS900 which has these dimensions: 900mm (l) x 500mm (w) x 450mm (h). From my old setup, I have 4 Aquaray Grobeams which...

Hi, I'm currently in the process of setting up a 180L planted, C02 injected, EI tank to replace a 125L that I currently have. As I have a few bags of Seachem Black Sand hanging around, I would like to go ahead and use these for the new setup. I have been used to using low tech in the past...

Hi Does anyone have the TMC Signature 90cm in a freshwater version? I.e without sump and not drilled? Or could I get this custom made from TMC does anyone know? Cheers Will.

Hi I'm currently dosing EI and was wondering if I need to dose GH Booster for EI? I currently have very hard water and mix 50% RO and 50% tap. This gives me a GH of around 7. Can I just dose Potassium Sulphate and Magnesium sulphate at water change instead of GH Booster? My goal is not to...

Hi, Just wondered if I could ask a question with regard to my current parameters and dosing regime? I have been running an aquarium for many years, but always been low tech. I recently moved into high tech / co2 injection, so this is all a learning curve currently! The reason I'm posting this...

Hi I have just setup my new 37G (US Gallons) heavily planted with soil bottom etc, etc as per Tom Barr's excellent guidance that states 1.5WPG is the best level to aim for. Just wondering about the lighting now. I have 2 X 25 W EcoAqua LED lamps (these are roughly T8 equivilents according to...

Hi I'm just in the process of setting up my first low tech, low light aquirum :D . It's 160L with 75W T8. Just wondering about the substrate now. Really wanted to go the Tom Barr route, but there is no Leonardite alternative in the UK :crazy: . According to this link you can use peat and...

Hi I'm about to order a new Seashell Phoenix custom aquarium in 80x41x50 size to be used as a low tech planted setup. I'm thinking of getting 3 X 25W t8's for it (which are 30" long so fit nicley). I have been reading up and it looks like I need to aim for 1.5WPG to 2WPG of t8 for low tech...
