yup thats a good point. We'll continue to keep on doing regular water changes to keep everything hopefully balanced.

Ok, so proberably a good time to remove the nitrazorb that was in the filter so as to help keep levels in control while the tank cycled. I'll see if the plants perk up again with that first. Then I'll consider the nutrients. Thans.

Ok, had the tank with fish and plants in for about 3-4 weeks now. The plants all shot away when they first went in doubling their size with in a week and prob trebled by now. But everything has slowed down. The swords are sending out long (1ft long) stems which I guess are going to have either a flower or babies on them. Crypts are dieing back which I expectyed they would do. Things like ambulia are starting to get a slight dusting of brown algae on them. Does that suggest I have a lack of nutrients or a lack of light?

Hi All, living in a semirural setting with lots of horses and cattle around we have a problem with flies during summer. Cant seem to find those sticky fly strips for sale anymore and was considering trying one of these automatic Robocan pyrethein extract cans. It suggests placing away from fish tanks but i was wondering what sort of levels would have to build up in water over what sort of period of time before it became hazardous to fish. Anyone had any experiences?

Hi, How do the Biolux compare to a bulb like this one? http://www.lampspecialists.co.nz/productPDFs/5278h.pdf Thanks, Steve

hey there everyone, picked up a tank and it came with 2 x 48" Biolux bulbs and arcadia controllers. Can anyone tell me what the bioluxs are like? The tank is a tall 4ft and we'll be turning it in to a planted discus tank. Could we use these bulbs or are we better off with something else? We already use a combination of power-glo and aqua-glo on a 5ft discus tank.
