Brilliant foxfish that looks achievable even for me lol, thanks for the link i'll let you know how i get on!!

I'm actually moving in about 6 weeks so the last month or 2 has been trying out a few ideas with flow, co2, lighting, moved over to EI etc so when i set up again i've got these fundamentals nailed down. Unfortunately i wasn't able to try out these reactors as i didnt have an external filter to...

Thanks for the replies, i'm currently using an easy aqua 4 in 1 super atomiser and to be fair it produces an extremely fine mist just cant make up my mind wether i like the look of the tank when its on and the mist is swirling about if you know what i mean. I dont think there's a crevice in the...

Hi guys, need some advice on a couple of things!! If i were to use a external reactor to distribute co2 in my tank (currently using a diffuser) am i right in thinking the co2 is then completely dissolved in the waterbeing returned to the tank? If so what are peoples thoughts on surface...

Hi Andy, Dont know how you resolved the situation but i thought i'd throw in my 2 pennys worth as i too have a trigon 190. I'm using a jbl 602 and up until a few days ago was using the diffuser ladder with extention with good effect placing it directly underneath a internal power head. i have a...

thanks Clive, Troi some great advice there, i'm learning something new everytime i come on here!! :thumbup:

Actually upon further reading am i right in thinking that if i have enough CO2 with good flow i should be able to accommodate plants of all requirements more or less??

Thanks guys for your input i appreciate it although i'm a little confused still on the lighting side. I'll try to explain, when we talk about plants which only require low/moderate lighting are we talking about using a lesser intensity in our bulbs compared to plants that require stronger...

Now thats a statement lol!!! Pretty much everything you need to know and why right there!!

Ok i see thank you Matt, do you know the method in calculating the wpg? I have a trigon 190 with 2 t5 28w bulbs, CO2 injection with good flow and about to venture into the EI dosing world so is it safe to say i'm in the med/high tech catagory?

Was wondering if someone could explain what contributes to having a low tech tank, medium tech and a high tech set up ? Cheers

Bless you Clive, that really has taken away the worry of guesstimating how much i need when adding these ferts :text-thankyou: and something Prolife really should of stated somewhere within this range. I can see now why if i continued using the prolife at the realistic measurements you've given...

Thanks for the links Clive i appreciate it, yeah been reading about these ferts a lot since joining the forum and they've got very good reviews its a shame i bought the prolife bits before i joined as lots of folk talked highly of these as well. I've put an order in for some, is the starter...

Hope you guys dont mind me jumping in on these posts but i have to say Ceg that this thread has been absolutely fantastic to read as a newbie and just what i have been looking for, very educational without getting too complicated and whilst i'm still trying to understand some points you've made...

Re: Diffuser dilemma Brilliant thanks for that :thumbup:

Re: Diffuser dilemma Thank you so much for the advice, we are in the process of selling our house so when that eventually happens obviously the tank will have to be emptied and the plan was to remove the internal filter and go down the external route and then maybe the inline diffuser method...

Re: Diffuser dilemma Can i incorporate this into my jbl system Ian? Also am i right in thinking to use this method you need an external filter, i'm afraid i'm only using the internal filter that came with the tank, a Trigon 190

Hi guys, was wondering what people had used and had success with regarding CO2 diffusers. I'm currently using a Jbl pro flora kit with spiral diffuser that comes with it but I'm not so sure about it to be honest. There's so many different products claiming this and that but I thought I'd ask...

Hi i'm from a sleepy village called Frimley Green in Surrey looking to make friends and ask a lot of questions lol. Been keeping fish for almost 20 years starting with a goldfish won at the fair and gradually moved over to tropical. I'm a keen diver and recently have enjoyed some stunning dives...
