I used one just like that or very similar. Worked well once I'd figured out how far away to place it. The light is quite focussed though so you...
There idea on screen roughness
Hi all. Not in the hobby at present so not been active here, but I drifted by out of interest and spotted this. I think it was actually me that...
Nothing to do with algae, but he does have a fine selection of big fat, usually toothless, scrubbers...
We have a lot of huge scrubbers in the UK Those interested might Google videos of "The Jeremy Kyle Show"
I can recommend Seachem De-Nitrate for reducing nitrates. Works in exactly the same way as live rock does only more efficiently as it's more...
Added third lamp. Looks much better imo [IMG] [IMG]
Odd. Didn't load for me just then, then refreshed it and it did. Dropbox having a bad day perhaps? Anyhow... [media]
A small revision. Added a 90 degree elbow for the inlet which has given a lot more turbulence and more water movement across the screen (as HK...
Thanks Ace. I ordered a third bulb earlier today. I've raised them a bit too and they're now about 12 inches above the water which is still...
Thanks for the replies. I'm trying to hire a Par meter at the moment. Roger on the spread thing. I think these are 60 degree lenses & I would...
I have changed my T5s to two 36w LED bulbs today. The tank looks a lot less bright and much bluer. Not sure that I prefer it but think it may grow...
Interesting that. Just a simple horizontal with led lighting, but a neat design and relatively low price. I suspect that if manufactured in...
Me too! I don't actually have any aiptasia, but I still would
This looks more fun though [media]
The de-nitrate stuff isn't a chemical, it's a filter media. I think it's just a type of pumice stone crushed and graded. It's very very porous so...
I know. Anyone want one?
As I said earlier I do have a mass of Kenya Trees at the moment which filter feed a lot, so I guess I'd be unlikely to suffer with green water...
Incidentally, if you get levels down too low your pleco will starve. You'll need to feed him some algae wafers if the tank doesn't grow enough...
Have you tried De-nitrate from Seachem? Works very well in FW, not really needed in SW as liverock performs the same function more or less....
