fluval

Hi, I need some advice on how to set up a CO2 Art kit which I've recently purchased second hand. I'm looking to set it up in my Juwel Rio 350 aquarium, which I'm running a Fluval FX6 external filter on. I understand the kit can be run inline, or directly into the tank? My query is, if running...

Hi, I currently have a 34gallon tank with a fluval aquasky successfully growing some low-medium light plants. However i want to grow some more challenging plants and i was wondering if instead of replacing my current light, if i could add another light into the aquarium hood to just give me...

Hi All I'm just after some verification that this algae is due to new tank syndrome and will go away of its own accord and also some advice on if it's lighting related (which i think it is). I have this dark brown algae in patches on my monte carlo and java moss. It seems to me to be more like...

Hey folks I hope you're all safe and well I've had a Fluval 57L Flex set up for a while and my Crystal Reds are breeding well. However, during a recent water-change I noticed a few juvenile shrimplets in the first and second chambers (from left to right). I managed to fish them out with a tiny...

Hello all. I used to have fish when I was younger, but now I want to be more serious and really learn the craft of fish keeping and hardscaping. I have just purchased a Fluval Roam 240 tank. I have all the gear baring plants, rocks and wood and am keen to get going. I will probably be asking...

So I currently run an interpet trispec on my tank which is running co" and daily ferts. I want a warmer colour ( which ive been told i need more red LEDS) to make my colour plants pop a bit more. If I was to add a cheap light for example fluval aquasky and set it to red, would this help with...

hello guys, so i went today to the aquarium design centre and bought Tropica Aquarium Soil 3kg for my new 50litre aquarium. I did the setup and think I need more substrate so i ordered on amazon the Fluval Plant & Shrimps Stratum 4kg. Should i put the fluval on top of the tropica, mix them or...

I'm looking for a nano style heater for my Mini M, something that is low profile and won't distract from the scape. I was using an Eheim Jager but it's so obtrusive. I have tried both the Fluval Edge heater and Newa Therm Mini 20p but both can't seem to get the tank water over 20C. They both...

I'm going to assume based on the members map I'm not the only person from the North East, anyway I've always used UKAPS for things like finding reviews and information but finally decided to join and hopefully learn and share my own wisdom. I've been plantkeeping for around a year, and I'm...

I am going to be getting a Nano tank or building one myself soon that will be able to fit within my Ikea Expedit or Bonde bookshelf.* Hoping to do a small aquascape in there and intend to have a single betta and maybe a shrimp or two. I already have a betta that I bought but her shipment has...

Hi folks, Nice to meet you all. I had a marine tank long time ago before the internet and I remembered how difficult it was to start and after two years there was a catastrophe and all fishes died. Then I abandoned the hobby. I didn't know about New Tank Syndrome or Old Tank Syndrome back...

I am planning to re-scape our tank but will need to have temporary accommodation for the fish (5 Endler's Guppy, 1 Danio, 5 Amano shrimp and 5 Nerite snails. I was already thinking of setting up a second tank and thought that this may be a good temporary home. I envisage it will take a couple...

I am looking for recommendations for a heater to go into the 23l (6 US GAL) Fluval Edge in white (see below). The tank will be planted but I would like the heater to be as invisible as possible. Does anyone know of a glass, white or perhaps a stainless steel heater for this size of tank?

I am planning on re-scaping our tank and would like to plan the planting but would like some help in determining exactly what level of lighting is in our Fluval Edge 46l which has the following factory supplied lighting: This is Fluval's description: Fluval 46l "Edge includes a powerful and...

Hi, Recently purchased a Fluval Fresh F90, the Fluval Aqualife and plant LED came with it but am not sure whether this is better than what I have now in terms of growing plants; for the price the light costs I feel like it should be but as I have other lighting options I would like to know which...

I have recently purchased a Fluval 88g System. I have read up on it and apparently the disposable cartridges will drain my wallet even on a 60L. I do a little shooting with Air Rifles and use a pressurised (diving bottle) to fill them up with. I believe it is a 3 litre bottle. Would I be...

Hi all, Recently bought myself a Fluval mini Pressurized Co2 System (88g) and was planning on using it in a 30l cube to aid my 'cuba' carpet when I set the tank up. This is probably a really dumb question but if I don't ask I will never know. So do I have to use the tiny refill cartridges, i'm...

Hello All, I'm thinking of buying a Do! Aqua 25x25x25(cm) Nano aquarium for my desktop and Im just planning everything out and exploring my options - I have an unused Fluval G3 sat in my attic gathering dust, I was wondering if I would be ale to use it on my desktop setup. Obviously its quite...

First of all, I don't people telling me that my substrate and gravel choices are bad or my stone should be moved/ changed. This is simply for feedback on my redmoor placing. So with that established, I am setting up a planted aquarium using a 200L (43G) Fluval aquarium. I have a JBL 2kg CO2...

before i resort to buying a whole new filter i wanted to know if i could fix the problem with my 405. The problem is that the flow will start strong for like a day and then become incredibly weak. its a struggle to prim it because the filter doesnt push the water up fast enough. is this an...

how do you prim a new fluval 405. people say dont fill it with water where other say fill it with water. i honestly have no idea. first time using a canister

My filter has been making the most unhealthy noise lately and just wanted to share what fixed the problem, I'm actually amazed at how quiet the filter is now. After replacing most of the parts, I finally narrowed it down to the lid that goes on the upper most media basket. Turns out the clips...

Morning All, Next week I plan to replace my internal filter on my Juwel Rio 180 with a Fluval 406. I just want to ask advice on the input and output placements, I was going to have them both in the same corner, with the output pointing diagnally towards the front of the glass and my hydor...

Whilst my big tank is growing in in the back ground I thought I'd get another journal going purely for shrimp and maybe a couple of my paros in one.. So I've gone and got 2 fluval spec 19litres to try and scape up which I thought would be a fun challenge. Both will be on opposite sides of the...

So here it is, my first aquarium; it's a fluvial chi 6.6g or 25 litters as you prefer. First i had only a few gold fish in there with some plastic plants, that last not more than 2 months, which is when I discovered aquascaping. So the tank went from this To this : Then I wanted to had a...

First fish tank in 5 years. Im looking for criticism and advice on my tank. Like what other plants to add etc.

Hi all, I've recently re-scaped my TMC Signature so I thought I'd start a new journal on here. Not really a groundbreaking aquascape - re-using the moss-covered Manzi from my previous two layouts that you can see here - George's TMC Signature | Page 38 | UK Aquatic Plant Society Specs -...

HI all, probably has been discussed before, but couldn't find the answer I was looking for. I have bought the Fluval ceramic co2 diffuser few months back and installed it on my nano tank. It has been working great and I thought is a great piece of kit, until I decided to use one on my 60 cm...

I've got a Fluval Flora with the Fluval PCL11 Lamp. I caught the bulb flickering earlier and it's now packed up good and proper. Just been searching the web for a replacement bulb and I can't seem to find one anywhere. Does anyone know where I'd be able to find one? All help greatly...

Hi all, This is my latest project. Please excuse the poor photo quality taken with my phone. Crystal Red Shrimp non-CO2 aquascape by George Farmer, on Flickr It's going to be dedicated to crystal red shrimp (CRS) and I hope to get them breeding. The tank is in my office at work. The tank...

Hi, has anyone used one of these Fluval G3 / G6 filters, especially in a planted tank? I am looking at a new setup but I won't be able to hide the filter in a cabinet like my other tank...and I like the look of the G3 / G6 better than my Eheim pro 3...but I just need to know the pro/cons of this...
