bumfluff lol, well i was using a co2 nano kit but after it exploded i was a little unsure whether to use co2 again or not. it was growing slowly at first with co2 but after the 'explosion' within a few weeks of using a double dose of easy carbo it has been growing fast and very green. i have...

cheers guys, the tank is only 12 litres and was a little project to try and see if a aquascape was possible in a very narrow desk top aquarium. this has been a real test as at times i wanted to just get rid and buy a 4ft fish only tank as i had before but i never gave in! so far its growing very...

hi mate, sorry i haven't been on here for a week or so, been so busy trying to get that koi pond finished lol i couldn't believe it! you would never have thought but since the co2 kit 'exploded' and i was without co2 bottle form it has gone very nice indeed. the hc has spread very thickly and...

nice one mate :thumbup: i have done one water change today so ill do another tomorrow night etc, ill do the lighting for 6, do you think it will be enough for the hc?? cheers bud :wink:

hey sorry chump i forgot to say about the lights. i have a 15w bulb (arcadia freshwater lamp) on from 12.00 till 9.00. i did have a 8w arcadia original lamp on at the same time but that was causing to much algae in a 10l. what else could i do then for the co2? how many times can i do a water...

hi have you got any livestock in the tank? i read somewhere that excel wasn't to good for shrimp? im dosing now after the co2 bottle stopped working; 0.5ml tpn+ 1ml easy carbo also will the drop checker change colour when using just easy carbo or only when co2 is injected? :wink:

lol, yes it is the ET, you did give me a load lol. do water changes increase co2 within the tank then?? i was thinking of getting a spare 95g bottle and a new regulator and setting it up with the other tubes/diffuser etc and putting the 'time bomb' where?? :? :? any ideas???

cheers mate, i cant find ANY seriyu rock around here and to find these 3 took me from november till now to get!!so i was lucky that they looked okish. what about if i planted more lilaeopsis in the corner or should i not bother?

lol nooo, its a desktop version lol but its similar. as for the gravel, i put in, i think its called, underworld aqua grit? and topped off with very fine black sand but i had a problem with the lilaeopsis so as i was moving and sorting the under layer started to come up. after i planted the hc...
