    Is All Liquid Carbon Equal?

    Hi Just starting out this game with a low tech set up. I live in Norway, not easy to get all that’s needed...... Happy Life HappyCarbo seems to be the only carbon source that’s readily available, no chance of having TNC stuff shipped from the UK... Are they all the same? Is one brand better than...

    Pruning Aponogeton Crispus.

    Hi Quite a new boy at this, guess l'm paying for a little success. My A.Crispus have gone banana's, lots of long leaves on the surface and lots of flowering going on. It's now starting to look a little untidy at the surface and all the leaves are starting to create a lot of shade...

    120 x 55 x 55cm 'On the sea shore'

    Thanks for that Mark, l kinda guessed it was something with a little more k than l'm using. My 8000k's are Osram Lumilux skywhites, to be honest they too give off a little yellow. Maybe next time l'll give the JBL's a try. Look fwd to your next piece of planted artwork.

    120 x 55 x 55cm 'On the sea shore'

    Hi Mark What T5's do you have in your Gman. l'm a beginer with a 350 litre elos 120, tank is coming along well. My lighting is a Gman Helios, it's a 4 x 54 watt T5 and led hybrid. l'm playing with the T5 tubes, currently only using 2 of the 54 watt T5's and the led's don't want to overdo it...

    To sump or not to sump

    My tank is an elos120, it's a marine tank, therefore it has a sump. As per marines the sump gives you somewhere to hide all the ugly equipment that we don't want on view in the tank. ln the first chamber of my sump l have 2 x eheim large internal mechanical filters, second chamber has my...

    UP Atomizers blocking.

    l've ordered an atomizer. l'm curious as to how the bubbles will behave when l place the atomiser in front of the pump. Will the pump gobble them all up or will some make it to the surface? Time will tell.... Thanks Mike

    UP Atomizers blocking.

    Thanks Again. In the past you've recommended me to use a needle wheel pump as a return. Are you saying my eheim 3000 with it's standard impeller will do the job? ln the past you've recommended an eheim needle wheel pump, see my attatchment, far cheaper and the Atman pumps are actually...

    UP Atomizers blocking.

    l have an ex saltwater tank, it's an elos120, l'm using the sump that was standard equip for the tank. The UP Atomizer is in the return line from my return pump that sits in the sump, the water flow from the return line of the pump is slowly decreasing, as if the UP is blocking. ls that better...

    UP Atomizers blocking.

    Hi New to this game so there's always questions to be asked. l have an UP Atomizer fitted in the return line from the pump in my filtration sump. Have noticed of late that the return flow into the tank is decreasing,l reckon the UP is getting blocked. ls there a cleaing procedure...

    Cycling with k1 from a koi pond.

    Hi l've a tunze nanostream 6045 in the tank for extra circulation. l realise you doubt the UP, l shall try and see how it goes, l see it as a better option than the reactor that came with the jbl kit. You mean just supply the co2 to the inlet of the return pump? That's another option l...

    Cycling with k1 from a koi pond.

    Hi Pond is currently at 10 degrees C, l realise there could be issues there. The bac can't be totally dormant, my pond full of koi get fed all through the winter, pond is covered and heated. I am using an UP Atomizer in the return line from sump to tank, the return in the tank points at...

Tank is up and running,co2 bottle to be collected tomorrow, shall play with the co2 over the weekend, hopefully it'll be under...

    Cycling with k1 from a koi pond.

    Hi Am in the process of setting up my first planted tank, it'll be a sumped elos120 at approx 350 litres, it was previously one of my reef setups.... ln the marine world it's common to have an internal filter sponge or in my case an internal filter running in the sump, the filter can...

    Is it wise to have a C02 reactor in a sump?

    As l say l'm new to this game, wasn't aware that keeping the c02 in place was the hard bit. Tank is an elos 120, 120 x 56 x 50cm ( say 330 litres ), lighting is a Giesemann Helios ( LED / T5 unit 40 white leds, 20 blue leds, and 4 x 54 watt t5's ), l contacted the manufacturer ref the light...

    Is it wise to have a C02 reactor in a sump?

    Thanks for the advice. Ref losing c02 over an overflow. Return pump is submurged and return to tank is submurged. So if the reactor sits close to the return pump l kinda hope that c02 picked up by it would go straight into the display. l can see l'm going to have to play and measure :-)...

    Is it wise to have a C02 reactor in a sump?

    Hi l'm new to the planted game and am about to convert one of my reef tanks to a planted tank. The reef tank of course has a sump, l will utilize the sump in the build for filtration. ls it wise to have my c02 reactor in the return section of the sump? The reactor will be close to the return...
