I've got three electronic thermostats and seven thermometers and all display different temperatures within a 2.5° range apart from the ADA glass thermometer which is a full 2° lower than all the rest, so I don't know. 🤷‍♂️

Aquariums 4 life Aquariums4Life Custom Aquarium Manufactures have done a good job on two 100l aquariums for me in the past. A few other people on here have purchased from them and are also more than happy.

Dave gives a brief description in this vid Cheers!

Metal and glass :nailbiting: Way to go!

Hi, I'm certainly no expert in the field of silicone but I believe I read on their website that A4L guarantee their aquariums for 10 years, I'm also sure I read somewhere that it will last much longer if kept permanently underwater rather than a a wet dry scenario. Personally though once a tank...

Hi, @MichaelJ has described the chemistry but DI resin is generally used after the RO unit to polish the water. I only have limited scientific knowledge (but years of experience using RO Systems) but I cannot see where exchanging ions before entering the RO unit is of any benefit, plus the DI...

I'm not sure if I'm seeing that correctly but it looks mighty dangerous to me, I'm sure if you scoured the internet you could find something more suitable. After a very quick look I already found these for about £1.50, a deeper delve I'm sure will result in something even more appropriate, and...

Just make sure you leave a drip loop, make sure it's not fouled by anything and you will have no problems. Cheers!

...and saves water. Cheers!

Officially 1 will illuminate 24 x 24 inches (60 x 60 cm). I have 1 Kessil 30cm above the surface of a 90 x 55 cm footprint and it is illuminating it perfectly at 60% although the tank is full of Crypts and Buces, and I'm sure the Prime would cope similarly also. The only problem with these...

Prime Freshwater - AquaIllumination is an option, I think mine was £225 about a year ago.

👍

Hi, I personally wouldn't bother on a low tech aquarium (although I don't run one myself), reason being folks usually use this method to off gas residual CO2 after lights off (I'm sure others will shoot me down). Using a Eheim Skim 350 (£23.00) on a timer is another option to negate this...

I've been using 2 x 4 way (individually programable) smart extension leads for 6 months with no problems so far. As said above, the old single mechanical and digital timers proved pretty unreliable for me.

Apologies for the glare from the light, and the state of play, still work in progress, tank has only been set up for 7 weeks and constantly experimenting/changing bits and bobs plus I'm slowly removing the stems as the crypts show through after thoroughly melting. Cheers, bazz

Hi, I have the 230 and for the price I am more than happy with it, the dimensions are fantastic. If I was to get critical: While the silicone work on all of the seams is very good it's not quite finished off on the corners. If I had the confidence I could probably clean it up myself but being a...

@Wookii Hi, Did you get round to building/using this with success, if so, on what size aquarium (mine's 90x55x53h)? I'm using a AM 1000 and it's not cutting it for me, having to use an inline diffuser in tandem to achieve targets, tried with original bio balls, empty and now Siporax. If you did...

photo's? enjoying this!

hi, i just use one of those hose clips off the back of an old washing machine syphon out more than 50% into the shower cubicle (live in a flat) occasionally taking off the clip to clean the substrate, takes about 40 mins which is just enough time to clean one of the filters and various...

appears to be cheaper when viewed in their shop http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AQUARIUM-VERWARMING-VISSEN-THERMOSTAAT-FILTER-POMP-T09-/180580095402?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_146&hash=item2a0b6995aa although the postage is fractionally higher! cheers, bazz! 'edit' sod it, ive just ordered one as a spare at...

hi, just to add that inline prefilters can be bought and are pretty universal and cheap (around £6.00 or £7.00). the last time i replaced mine they came with a variety of fittings and were much larger than the originals, hence it being taped to the original brackets! as chris say's, its worth...

hi migt, that unit is over 5 years old and still works fine, it produces 125 liters in 24 hours. if you look after them (flush, and renew the prefilters) they last years. it is long in the tooth though, and i have been researching buying a new one similar (same make) to what jonnyjr suggested...

hi migt, apologies for the poor photograph (the unit is under a kitchen cupboard), but just to give you an idea of whats happening. the water tap is an external kit from b&q (around 8 or £9.00, which comes with a variety fixings), is screwed straight on to my washing machine connector, and can...

hi ed, i don't suppose you could leak anymore info on the shut off valve at all please? i have the same water butt in my kitchen, and it would be nice to be fully automated without risk of flooding! cheers and thanx in advance, bazz!
