Hi H , Nice Scape and planting 
Hi again folks
Been a while since i wrote in this thread, but I been asked to take som pics on the lighting fixture.
Let me tell you that it is NOT anything of its original IP65 watertight anymore and any copying it might cause you self damage.
But I work within the tank, and I am aware of the danger my self, and use an residual-current device (RCD). And im still alive hehehe.
-------------------
An aquascape in the tank is not commencing due to an irritating cyano attack that i can not get rid of, however i try.
Once i get all cyano in controll there might be an new scape.

Thanks for the cyano link, I did not know that cyano prefered the lower wavelengths.
I wonder if the spectrum of the lamps are an benefit for cyano. One of the bulbs have 4000K and the other one is an aquamedic plant grow. dont know much about it, but it is much more red, or purple in color.
Any ideas about the lamps, and the cyano problem?

Thanks greenfinger. But i really dont like the idea of using medicin or even antibiotics to cure anything in the tanks, could it be because i am an stubborn aquarist???.
I have treating the tank two-Three weeks now with waterchanges and a lots of extra KNO3- like 5ml dry to this 240 liter tank twice a week.
And it is paying of a litle bit now, and I have collecting some fastgrowing plants to be planted today.
