    Frustrated..changed to bigger tank and can't grow plants anymore!!!

    If you make the spraybar longer the flow will not reduce at all. The force the water comes out of the holes will reduce yes :). If you want to get really technical you could buy a full length pipe the same size and make smaller holes in it to equate to the same force over it's length but that...

    Frustrated..changed to bigger tank and can't grow plants anymore!!!

    OK Just to clear a few things up that I read on other threads :) You were asking about DC's that stay green. This is pretty normal without night time aeration. Mine will be about grass green before the CO2 comes on and be limeade in the photoperiod. Fish and shrimp are OK so all's good. In...

    No comment other than everyone else in this thread has said the opposite :) From the picture above light looks pretty bright to me and considering they look like pink lights then it should look less bright than I am used to. i.e. daylight tubes look brighter than pink lights for the power. I...

    Frustrated..changed to bigger tank and can't grow plants anymore!!!

    320W over 140USG seems a lot to me even with the perspex. When you say you ran with 2 tubes at first how long was this for? And did you have problems when you were using the 2? You seem to have enough flow. More than I would use and CO2 drop seems OK however you can of course play with the...

    Is this normal for staurogyne repens

    Like Ceg says, if you delve into what all those threads were saying (and many still state) then people suggest that pink lights are best for plants. Then they go onto 'full spectrum' lights which is a bit of artistic labelling in reality as virtually all lights could be described as full...

    Is this normal for staurogyne repens

    I think too many times that people confuse flow and circulation. Flow is what we associate with a number i.e. turnover - I have 10x turnover. Circulation is an entirely different beast and a lot of the time independent of turnover. Just because you have 20x turnover doesn't mean you have...

    Tips for growing moss (...really beautiful moss)

    I never had any luck with moss and lava rock either. On woods I have no problems and Fissidens Fontanus grows really well as does Kneiff's Hook moss (drepanocladus adunculus) which has taken over a whole length of bogwood. Pellia is just a weed. Mick's point above is a good one. I tend to...

    1-2 Grow Storage?

    recycling their own? i.e. producing O in the light and CO2 in the dark? plus the pots they are in aren't actually 'air tight' are they.. sealed of sorts but we're not talking water or gas tight. If you think about it ice cream/yoghurt in those sort of pots and lids has a full foil seal.

    1-2 Grow Storage?

    I think they survive as long as there is some light because they have ample 'feed' in the gel and because they remain sterile so free from disease and 'parasites'. Not sure what he means r.e. 'effectively submersed' but I would think it may be lost in translation as in that a fully emersed...

    growing ferns horizontal

    I agree entirely Mark. The question being explored at the moment though is 'what is high light'. Those ADA Iwagumis with flawless HC carpets were running PAR at the equivalent of a single full length T5HO. That goes against all the 'high light' suggestions that we currently use via the WPG...

    growing ferns horizontal

    height as Ceg says plus the ballast and reflector make a difference too ;) Then add to this factor that an MH reflector unit is designed to spread cover a large area evenly. So yes 150W worth of light but spread evenly. A single T5HO will give the same 50/150 reading directly below the tube...

    When you grow needle fern it will grow in all directions. a little like a lotus leaf exept no 1 continuous circle. I would guess that the scapes with the purely horizontal leaves have trimmed off the ones going in the undesired directions prior to the photos. If you look at mine you can see...

    a generall query regarding plants that match

    Now, now Aaron. I wouldn't say Jungle means overgrown plants. Just that they are not trimmed to fit in. More a case of letting them realise a more natural form. IT still gets pruned and tidied but not 'shaped'. Takes quite a bit of thought in the planning process for it to look good because...

    a generall query regarding plants that match

    I agree with both statements here!!! I don't think it is a highlight plant either and it is indeed a greedy CO2 plant. However I think even under lower light it still requires DIRECT light and therefore is never seen under shaded areas. I am testing the 'high CO2' theory too at the moment...

    Why are my new Sagittaria Subulata turning brown/yellow?

    Why are my new Sagittaria Subulata turning brown/yellow?

    If you run a tank without CO2, and low light then you may get away with the fish waste supplying enough. I would suggest your light is borderline for CO2. Not low at all!!!! Therefore it would definately already need a little boost on top of the fish/food waste. Add to that you are adding a...

    Why are my new Sagittaria Subulata turning brown/yellow?

    Flora 24 is traces. Excel is carbon. By adding the carbon you are increasing the plants needs of nutrients. You aren't adding any NPK. Fish won't supply enough in a carbon enriched tank. Therefore by adding the carbon you are increasing the need to add NPK into the system!!! Thats a lot of...

    You can snip the runner so that it becomes to seperate ones. Do it carefully so that it doesn't uproot. Then it should branch out from the cut end. No idea if it will still run in the straight line though. You could try placing a small pebble in the path of the runner, then it will change...

    Pearling after a water change? Why?

    So what we are in fact saying is a mixture of the following: That if plants are above the water level they can take in 'surplus' CO2 and when they are submerged again this means that they don't necessarily grow faster but because the fresh water has more O in it than normal that the plants...

    Pearling after a water change? Why?
