What about a uv steriliser? pondmaster ones on t/me for $99.95. By by green water, i found i had to use one on all my tanks with bigger fish, and especially when unplanted. Just a thought 8)

:lol: you are all so rite :lol: , shes pretty good really, putting up with my fish antics

Sweet, thanks Warren

:lol: I would like to aim for a 4x2x2, the 620 is a neat looking tank, but a little more room would be great

Thanks Warren, the fert i have is Flourish comprehensive supplement, 0.07-0.01-0.37. Mg is 11%, there is no k but k20 soluble potash 0.37% not sure if this is enough. I might look into getting something that will target k, mg.. It says to dose once or twice a week, but im thinking maybe i should dose a bit more, sene as i have heaps of light, maybe the plants are working overtime and not getting enough food. I also have JBL fert balls, but i only put a pack of 7 in, im wondering if i should buy some more.

hopefully slowly enough for me to talk the wife round to a bigger tank :lol:

Hmmm, not to sure, how do you test for co2? Im getting a bubble a second, and they are nearly disolved when they get to the top of the ladder.

Thanks caper, i think it will get to around 20 cm, not to sure though.

hey magenta, The halide is suspended over the tank, the original lights and filter have been removed

sweet, thanks for the info

cool thanks, great looking setup 8)

cool, thanks antwan, will look into it. Any ideas on my yellowing plants?

yea, just out of curiousity

hey stompa, looking good. What is the fish in the bottom pic, top left?

Thanks, will be good when i get it sorted looks a little swampy at the mo :lol:

Thanks, fishboi, The wee GBA that i got from you seem to be at the stuff all the time Same as my SAE, but it seems to grow faster than they can eat it.

Hey all, I recently set up my AR620T as a planted tank, and was wanting a bit of help and advice. I have a 150 watt, metal halide, with an aquamedic 5000k bulb, an eheim 2215, and a hagen co2 diffuser with two 2 ltr DIY reactors, im getting a bubble a second. Photo period is Eight and a half hours daily, and the plants give off heaps of oxygen, looks like upside down rain I have a very fine gravel, with JBL fertilizer balls, and i am dosing Flourish comprehensive suplement, once a week. Now thats out the way, here is my probs, green thread algae and heaps of it :evil: can anyone point me in the right direction on how to combat this prob? I have also noticed that my plants are starting to look a little yellow, could this be to much fertiliser? or not enough, or maybe to long photoperiod, not enough? Any help would be greatly appreciated, i know that i can get this to work, but i need to get the balance right :-?

sweet, thanks all

Thanks guys, Ohh yea its a goldline royal

Hey all, borrowed a camera today and thought i would share a pic of my most fave fish prob one of the best fish ive owned.

Ok, here is a pic, tell me what yas think. Sorry if its a wee bit big, havent got this laptop sussed yet.

Yea, i have the same prob, not really black beard, but green thread algae. These guys went straight to work on it, as well as the angels i bought Hopefully my tank will look a bit cleaner in a few weeks

Thanks caryl, Great info, its a tough one, i think they may be SAE, mainly because they dont have any black markings in the fins. Its not a false, because its black line goes through the tail.

Thanks Mystic, will try to get a pic tommorow and post it
