I finally got rid of all the algea but the plants are doing very poorly. I'm pretty sure I can't increase the co2 level anymore. I increased the bubble rate a little bit today and I almost gassed my fish, luckily I noticed it in time. Still the plants show co2 deficiencies, and my P. Helferi...

I've bought a second co2 bottle, solenoid and regulator which I attached to my reactor with a T piece. I use one bottle with a very high bubble rate to ramp up the co2 and it shuts off when the lights go on , the other bottle switches on at lights on with a lower bubble rate to keep the desired...

Wouldn't that lead to a more uneven flow in the tank? As the eheim pump probably produces double or even more flow as the jbl filter. I thought one long spraybar that injects co2 enriched water would be the best? I don't have much plant mass yet so the flow seems good to me at the moment ...

I know what you mean, they all want to make you think their products have some magical properties :lol: The Dennerle DC has been advised on a dutch forum, I assume it's 4dkh water with bromo blue, but I don't know for sure. I did a search for the 4dkh water and bromo blue because it's probably...

I'm using a dennerle drop checker with premade fluid. I replaced the fluid Wednesday so it should be okay. DC: http://www.google.nl/imgres?q=dennerle+ ... ,s:0,i:110 I think I misinterpreted poor co2. I thought you meant it was because of the co2 controller switching on and off, which would...

I've cleaned the filter yesterday, I was a bit shocked how much dirt was in there. the flow increased a bit so I probably have to check the filter more often. The upper spraybar is attached to the jbl filter and it doesn't seem have enough power to reach the front glass, I thought it was okay as...

I did a wc today and tried to remove the diatoms without scraping of the GDA, but there wasn't much algea on the glass :) I also dosed the micro mix and the NO3 as usual and I will dose the PO4 tomorrow morning. I'll do another wc on wednesday and try to do another one in the weekend. I think I...

I don't know the exact date but I think it's almost 3 weeks ago when I installed the eheim compact. I am scraping off the algea as good as possible but it doesn't seem to mind. however I think the algea growth has reduced a little bit after I installed the new pump :D I couldn't remove 1 bulb...

Sorry for my english, it isn't as good as it used to be. I make my own stock solutions . I order the trace elements which is a mix of: 27 grams CSM+B 27 grams MgSO4+7H2O 46 grams K2SO4 solved in 500 ml water And dose 30 ml of this once a week after the 50% water change along with 30 ppm KNO3...

I have some bba on the background but not on the plants. I gave the background a good scrub last week and dosed easy carbo for a week untill i forgot about it. It doesn't grow back that quick so I'm not to worried about it, its only anoying because it blocks the spraybar holes. As for the flow...

Hi guys, I always had some problems with algea in my juwel vision 260, after dosing ei and a lot of reading I made good progress. But I can't get rid of the green hair algea, BGA and diatoms/ brown algea. A few weeks ago I purchased an eheim compact 3000 to power a diy reactor. I have 2...

Thanks guys. I'm going to order the 3000 tomorow and hopefully it will be delivered this week.

yes I've tried different set ups ,I had the spraybars on one side and opposite of each other trying different angles but it didn't seem to work as good as now with the spraybar mounted against the back of the tank, judging by the algea growth on the plants.

Hi all, I think I have some flow/distribution issues in my juwel vision 260. I currently have a JBL 1500 attached to a spraybar against the back of the tank and a jbl 900 to power the inline reactor. I was thinking to buy an eheim compact pump and attach it to the reactor and the long...
