Hi Andy I have the 260 and had similar issues, I removed the reflectors for starters and have now changed my tubes to these http://www.lampspecs.co.uk/Light-Bulbs-Tubes/860-and-865-Daylight_7/T5-21-Watt-860-Sylvania I presume you're running the 39 watt T5's at the moment? you could replace one...

Hi Billy, I too can vouch for Aqua essentials, I understand the additional postage to be a charge levied by the carriers rather than the stores, it seems the couriers have zones where additional charges apply which are out of the stores control:-S Another I have used are charterhouse Aquatics...

Same size tank as myself conger, I currently only have 2 T5 36w tubes, standard hood fixture with the fluval vicenza, I am not in a position to change to LED's at the moment but for when I might be I'll follow you on this one as like you've mentioned on a separate thread, we have some common...

Thanks guys, I have been concerned with the c02 distribution and flow, hence why I purchased the 2 powerheads, it still isn't right obviously so i'll take on board your valuable advice after all that's what I was hoping for and why I asked the questions... I'll start by changing my pipes from...

Thanks Michael, I have purchased one of these and also some Eheim hose to replace my current ribbed fluval so I can set this up, this is my next plan of action, thanks for confirming this should assist with c02 distribution. I have been dosing Neutro Plus liquid carbon at 10ml per night to try...

as mentioned co2 is being diffused through an easy aqua super atomiser creating a very fine mist, both powerheads are positioned so the flow is in a circular direction clockwise to assist the filter outflow pipe in the same direction, flow is good all around the tank, as my tank is drilled, my...

I have a Fluval Vicenza 260l tank currently lit by 2 x 39 W T5's with reflectors. are my calculations correct and is my lighting ok as I am suffering some ongoing issues and trying to rule out certain things like flow/circulation, c02 distribution and lighting. 260 l = 67.6 US Gallons 2x39w...
