    Jungle Slice - 100l High tech

    Hi, here's the journal for my latest tank. It's been a few years since I set up a hi-tech tank so I've had a to do a lot of refreshing and catching up. This will be my 3rd set up over the past 8 years and as with the previous tanks nearly all the knowledge I've applied has come from this forum...

    EI dosing + water change - Initial schedule

    Hi, I set up my 100l hi tech planted tank 3 weeks ago. I've seen strong growth in hairgrass carpet and stem plants and not so great growth from moss and ferns which I assume is fairly normal while they initially adapt. Around 2 weeks in diatoms and small amounts of BGA started to appear, again...

    Anyone had any experience with these? https://www.atledtis.com/cookie-e Really like the look of them but can't find much info or reviews on them. Looking for something to light an EA aquascaper 600 rear mounted and not too bright. These seem to be the best fit. Open to suggestions though!

    Hi I inject co2 into my external filter via an UP inline atomizer but have to inject a massive amount and don't quite hit the lime green I would like, its green but not lime. I'm trying to find a way to trap more bubbles in my filter without losing too much flow, does anybody have any...

    Plecos in planted aquaria

    I'm hoping to find a nice small plec for my planted tank, its 250l with lots of bogwood. I'm not overly keen on Bristlenose plecs and would rather go for something a little more unusual but not sure if any are really that suited to a planted tank. It has to stay pretty small. Does anybody...

    Vallis taking over

    My Vallis has gone a bit overgrown and I can't really work out how to control it without ripping the whole lot out. Is it prunable? I'm sure the website I purchased it off said it would grow to 50cm (the height of my tank) but after separating a leaf out its about triple that! I don't really...

    Hose diameter, bottle necking and flow..

    I know this subject has been covered greatly on here but after measuring the diameters of various components I have some queries. After recently purchasing an APS 2000 external filter I discovered that although the hose id is 18mm, the spraybar right angle piece id is only 10mm with the main bar...

    APS external + spray bar

    I recently purchased the APS 2000+ external filter for a new setup i'm planning. It came with a spray bar but the inner diameter is only 10mm where as the hose is 18mm. Going by what I've picked up on here this will make a big difference to flow, has anyone got any experience with this spraybar...

    co2 tubing vs air tubing?

    Hi just a quick one, is there a difference? One seem to be 3 times the price of the other but surely they are very similar if not the same thing?

    Tobago jungle freshwater wildlife

    Last summer I visited Tobago in the Caribbean, It's very close to Venezuela so shares a lot of its wildlife and luckily hasn't been ravaged by tourism. Whilst on a jungle trek I came across 2 fishes in a stream as well as various crabs and crayfish. The fish look a lot like a killifish...

    Any tips for glueing moss to wood?

    Hi I'm in the process of setting up a tank and want to cover some large pieces of wood with java moss, the shape of the wood means tying is not an option so I think the only option is to glue but I have no idea how this is done. I've read quite a few people on here use the technique but I can't...

    Edge of life

    I set this tank up summer of 2011 and and after recently joining the forum thought it could be worth sharing as I still have it going. The tank has evolved slightly as they do, so I will also post some pictures of how it come along, before ripping it apart to set up a larger aquarium.

    Bubble counting techniques?

    Does anybody know any techniques for counting co2 bubbles? I'm used to planted nanos where the amount of bubbles needed is easy to count but I'm soon to be upgrading to a larger setup and assume I'll trying to count upto 7bps. This doesn't sound like an easy task so hoping to find some...

    Fluval fx5 too much for a high tech 200l?

    Hi I've been researching into setting up a new tank and this forum had helped me a great deal so I thought it was only right I sign up and get involved.
