Good to know, that would last a few years

Hi, see below; http://www.hydroponics.co.nz/

I moved my main tank into my lounge around 3 months ago, it receives sunlight from 3 different sides. I run CO2 with a single Arcadia HO strip and experience basically no algae whatsoever. I would go as far to say that out of all the tank setups that I've had, this one is by far doing the best in terms of plant growth and health.

Week seven update:

Is pouring with rain so what better time to post some updates. Week One Week Two Week Three

Thanks Adrienne. There aren't any Chain loaches in this tank, I've not actually owned them previously. Good to know though, will cross them off my list of potential future additions. Currently in this tank: Angels, Harlequins, SAE's, Otto's. Bristlenose Pleco

Amazing

The HQI fixtures arrived a week ago, everything is pearling like crazy. Still have to string up the cables so have the lights sitting on lengths of 2x4 currently, it was the only way to create sufficient distance. Have some more plants on the way courtesy of Caryl :happy1: I will post up some more pics once those have been added.

http://www.novafire.co.nz/ 17 Westmoreland Street Grey Lynn Auckland New Zealand It's not a shop, it's a factory so take cash. Pays to phone ahead to find out if they will be around at the time you intend on going in, they often go out to jobs down at the ports.

Is a big investment but definitely worth it if you're ever thinking about moving to a bigger tank at any stage.

I did wonder where you were hiding it or whether you were running it inline. The place I take them to closes @2.00pm and isn't open during the weekend, a real pain but worth it @$30 to refill 8.5 worth of cylinder (2kg + 6.5kg). C'mon go get em filled, slacker :sage:

Likely story dude

I would say he is using CO2 based on the drop checker in upper left corner.

I took a bit of break (kids and work have kept me busy) but have gotten back into it. Have rearranged and replanted areas. Have added rocks and wood Have this week added some hardware: PH Controller Added an additional reactor so now have one running into each end of the tank. New HQI lights are due to arrive this week. Intend to add the following plants in the front corner: Rotala Wallichii Rotala Macrandra

Will do Here's a picture of it when it opened:
