Hi Stuart
Thanks for the welcome! Lovely and solid tanks aren't they? But gotta say I'm having a bit of a issue with the lighting as I can never gauge the intensity of the lighting I'm putting into the tank with the variable dimmer, which I'm sure is contributing to my algae problems as I've had it at maximum output and don't whether this is too much! I've got BBA and green/blue algae! Have you experienced such issue(s)? I did upgrade the filter to a 406 as the flow was insufficient
As for the RO water, it's a pleasure in all honesty. The only issue I had was with the place I got it from persuing them with the right tap attachment! What I mean by it's a pleasure, it's just satisfying waiting for the containers to fill up with the lovely contaminated free water and mixing it up with the buffers and Equilibrium mix and then seeing the sparkle and clarity of it when I do a water change with it, sounds a bit geeky and weird but it's satisfying! My tap water contains 3+ ppm of phosphate so it was an necessity... easy to install but I had to put purchase a pump.
I ought to have mentioned my tank is quite heavily planted.
Kind regards
Matt
