  1. @Adrienne Will the glo t5HO fit on my juwel rio 180 ? as in length wise. @Rabid Im sure this only applies to the T8 unit. T5 unit cant be opened up easily. thanks anyway though
  2. Yeah I've been doing alot of reading, cant seem to find a way to open this unit. Must be glued on. Still worth getting an electrican to look at it? Ive been looking at alternative light head units aswell Any suggestions from this page http://www.hollywoodfishfarm.co.nz/prod ... gs/m/1238/
  3. Hey guys, My juwel rio 180 light head units went bust today. Replaced the T5 Lights, still nothing. I called up HFF , replacement unit is going to cost $310 OUCH. Do you guys know any other alternatives at a cheaper price. Cheers
  4. Juwel Rio 180 Litre I currently have these fish in my tank. x3 Juhli Corydora x3 Panda Corydora x2 L140 Pleco x1 L270 Pleco x5 Cardinal Tetra x1 Electric Blue ram x1 Veil Tail blue ram I have silica sand substrate, and a rock based theme, with a few amazon sword plants. I only have the juwel filter running, and i am thinking of adding 20 - 30 more cardinals and 2 discus. Would it be necessary to add an external canister filter. I was thinking a Aqua One 1200 litre external canister filter. Thanks Fish Forums.
  5. Hi guys I use silica sand as my substrate , and i was wondering if plants will grow in it? I heard gravel is better, but i like silica sand. If plants is possible in a silica sand based aquarium, what do i need to do to achieve some nice growth and healthy plants? Cheers Ron
  6. i got them around the 1st of April. Courgette? For the L140 ? What about the l270?
  7. Hey guys My l270 and & x2 L140 don't seem to be eating . i got some nova tabs for them yesterday but they didn't even touch it. causes concern , if they are not getting enough food or none at all. They are in a Juwel 63 litre with no other inhabitants . Help is appreciated. Ron

  9. Hey guys , got myself 3 Plecos now. x2 L140 & x1 L270 Upgrading to a Juwel Rio 180 soon . Just need some advice on what to feed them, how many times a day , and also how to make sure they are eating. Also how to build their confidence. Currently i am feeding them and the other fish Spectrum and shrimp pellets. Cheers
  10. Hey guys , just wanted you guys to share your opinion on what i am planning to do. I have a Juwel Rekord 600 - 63 litre tank. The filter is fine, but im planing to add a Aqua One CF 1200 external canister filter. Ive done a little research, most people saying, "The more filtration, the better". Sounds about right, just wondering though since its a small tank, the water would be cycled : 1200 LPH (Flow) / 63 liters (tank size) = 19.04761904 , 19.0 (1dp) So 19 times an hour, is that too much of a change for the fish or do i still go with the concept, "The more filtration the better". Also i am planning on using this same filter when i upgrade to a larger tank , probably heading to the end of this year. Cheers , all input is appreciated.

  13. i heard DIY has it's risks like Ph drop's etc, I also have a blue ram and they are quite sensitive to water parameters dropping etc .
  14. Sweet as My tank : Juwel Rekord 600 (63L) - I may get some light reflectors soon I have an airstone running 24/7 Nutrients: My friend may give me some Flourish comprehensive The reason I want pressurised CO2 is that I feel it's more stable and controllable, and flucuates far less. As stability is what I seek. Also I read about fluctuating carbon levels affecting growth What Im hoping to achieve is something like this :
