The particles look like small bits of dust, and there could be bubbles amongst it aswell
-
Using Doltons propergating sand.
-
The plants are still getting established, so not heavely planted yet. Set up is different density sponges through out with noodles under some of the sponges. This is how it came out of the box. I have tried runnning one filter at a time to see if one was upseting the other but no luck with that.

I have the Media that came with it, Sponges and noodles. At the moment there are no fish in the tank. They are in another tank until I can get this one sorted

I have a Juwel 180 (180 Lt) with the built in juwel filter running and a external Jebo 819 as well. With both these filters running I still have a lot of small particles floating around the tank. I have tried accu clear which made no difference. Have tried fine filter wool in the Jebo which has made no difference. Any help please??
-
Looks like im going to get a Jebo 819, pretty good reviews on them and at $150 I cant complain
-
thanks for everyones opinion, Still havent decided which to get.
-
Thanks spoon. I had not thought about the Aqua 1s. Anyone else have experiance with these or Jebos or Fluvals
-
So what im getting is bigger is better. Can anyone offer any more advise between the Fluval or Jebo filters. The Fluvals cost a bit more than the Jebos, what am I getting for the extra $$$ jenniferh - I want to add the external along with the Juwel filter just for more filtration and I have read that the Juwels dont do such a great job on there own.
-
Thanks so far guys. So is Fluval the choice over the Jebo, and is a spray bar more suited in the set up that I will have. Only problem with the Fluvals is they dont have a sparybar and the suppliers dont have any, is there another spraybar that would fit the fluval
-
I want to run an external filter as well as the built in Juwel filter on my Juwel 180. With the location of the input/output slots on the rear of the tank I think I will need to run a spray bar to get past the built in filter. I am thinking Fluval 305 or Jebo 815. Does anyone have suggestions or advice on this. Can you get a spray bar to fit the fluval??
-
Just put my order in. Rio 180 tank, stand and reflectors delivered to my door all for $712. Cant wait. Any advice on gravel/sand would be great. pros and cons of both, Also ideas for the background, thinking of painting it black but if there is a better way without having to paint it, please do tell.
-
Sounds all positve so far guys. If I were to get the reflectors that juwel put out, would that be overkill for a basic planted tank????
-
Hello everyone, I am about to get a Juwel 180 and have a few questions before I put the order in. I plan to plant it, and would like to attempt a carpet effect. What do you suggest to use for the carpet? Would it be advisable to get reflectors with the tank, are there any disadvantages to reflectors eg algea growth? Do the Juwel filters do a good job or would it be better to get an external filter. Thanks for any suggestions

Jet boating at Springloaded Fun Park
bottlerocket replied to bottlerocket's topic in The Off Topic Fishroom
It is in the bay of plenty, by Tauranga. The Jet boat goes on the Kaituna River -
Had the day off today, so me and a mate decided to go Jet Boating and 4x4 driving at SPRINGLOADED FUN PARK, WOW what a day ...best Jet boat trip I have done...and I have done five different ones around the country now. The 4x4 was awsome as well, they tell me they are building a new 4x4 track at the moment so I will have to go back and try the new track. If any one is in the area I fully recommend going out to Springloaded.....they sell beer too :bounce:

I dose flourish excel every second day @ 2.5 mls a dose
-
please help...my dwarf sag is turing yellow and falling apart and another plant which i think is Hygro is getting holes in the leaves and then falling off. I use flourish excel and JBL balls, most of the other plants are doing well. Any ideas guys and gals
-
There is a lot of dusty like particals in my water, what is it, why is it there and how do i get rid of it. Thanks
-
Animates down here in Tauranga is exactly the same, I find myself going there for a laugh just to see how useless they are going to be. If anyone who works at Animates reads this... then congrats your lack of customer service lost you a $1100 sale last week.

Has anyone couriered a tank and stand any where in NZ. If so who did you use and what sort of cost was it. How do the pet shops that ship do it.
-
Where do you guys buy dark fine gravel or sand in bulk.
-
Please help..... in my filter i run bio balls, carbon wraped in filter wool and then bio noodles. From what i understand the carbon is for water clarity but i have since read that it takes out nutrients for plant growth and any medication you put in for the fish. What do you guys recommend. The filter is one that comes with the blue planet tanks and i have a lot of plants in the tank, I hope this helps
