I have some very large sword plants in my 300 ltr aquarium. 750mm high. If I where to cut then down to 100mm off the ground would they sprout again or would they die off and rot. The reason I wish to do this is they are becoming tall and the leaves block out the light. Kind Regards

AQUA ONE 2700 Value for money these filters would be one of the greatest filters I have used. At the moment I'm running one of these on a 300 litre tank with excellent results. Grab 2 for the price of one FX5. :bounce:

I have found the most effective method of attaching a Co2 tube to a DIY Kit is to use a air tube connector. Drill a hole in the bottle cap a fraction smaller than the connector, screw the connecter into the cap and then seal using a Hot Glue Gun. Kind Regards

I have just purchased an Aqua One Nautilus Canister Filter CF2700. My problem is I cannot get rid of the air in the system. I have installed the the water sucker pipe to the "IN" side of the filter and the spray bar to the "OUT" side of the filter. Does one actually hold down the primer button to release air?? or is this only used to fill the pipe with water. Before I began I did fill the filter with water. Your help would be most appreciated. Kind Regards John Mc

Hi everyone, I have purchased the above filter for my UFO 880 tank. This tank is a corner tank and has an inbuilt trickle filter. Has anyone converted one of these to fit an external filter. My worry is I don't really want to cut to many holes in the existing lid. Has anyone got any ideas? Kind Regards

Hi all, can anyone advise me about the following? (1) 300 litre tank filtered with a filter that has a turn-over rate of 2,000 liters an hour.

Hi every one, :bounce: :bounce: Can any one tell me why it is a rare site to see a bubble stone used in a professional display tank? The reason they where introduced was to acheive better water circulation?? am I correct here? Or do they oxygenate the water to a level that allows algae to grow?? Kind Regards, John Mc :roll:

Thank you JOE for the information you have gathered. An excellent article. Kind Regards

Can one over fertilize the water column in an aquarium?? thus giving algae a better environment to grow in. The majority of my plants are swords. Kind Regards.

Hi Every One, Can "anyone" tell me if pure laterite is a fertilizer? Could I use it by making ice cubes and logging them underneath my plants. The same method used when we use JBL BALLS. Kind Regards

SHOULD WE BE USING CARBON IN OUR FILTERS PERMANENTLY OR ONLY OCCASIONALLY. ALSO DOES CARBON REMOVE CHEMICAL NUTRIENTS FROM THE WATER COLUMN. KIND REGARDS JOHN MC

Hi, I have been using now for a number of years fruit salad gravel which is the typical stuff used in the average aquarium. My main plant life are Swords in my 300 litre tank. If I was to change to a sand would not this lead to scratches on the tank glass especially when you clean at ground level. Especially if you where to accidentally touch the sand with your cleaning pad. Using larger gravel this does not become a problem. Is there a secret here I've missed. Kind Regards John Mc
