Aquascaping world magazine produced by John N. from over on APC. Brand new issue 1 www.aquascapingworld.com/magazine/ :)

Because prolonged use of CO2 this way may damage the seals in the filter, although I and many others have not experienced this when using this method of CO2 diffusion. @dave gray.........of the bought reactors that is probably good value, the ones from the german etailers on ebay are a total...

Hello Ark, this tank uses 2x55W ASL power compacts, the lighting is nothing special, I believe they do not make these lamps any longer. This tank has been running for over 2 years but this layout was started in mid May 2007 for the competition.

72 hours is the normal blackout period for green water as far as I recall.

Yes you can, although the manufacturers of the filter would not recommend it Im sure. I don't have a link for an external reactor perhaps someone else can help you out with that.

I don't think this would be a problem Makaila, my own CO2 lines run about 5-6 feet with no problems. Edit, Mikaila I should add, provided the CO2 line IS CO2 line and not regular airline hosing then I don't think distance within reason will matter.

Thankyou John your own tank is coming along nicely. Thanks a million llj nice to hear coming from a long established (and accomplished may I add) member, thankyou. Dev Thankyou. Yes a plant list would be good, you are correct of course there is no moss in the foreground planting. The right...

The trees and waterfalls are getting into the realm of "twee" tbh IMHO, not sure where all of this is heading but its not for me.

15, not to hot :rolleyes:

Now you see it now you don't..........I saw it. It should make a good feature.

No I have never had a problem with buying things from Aquaticmagic, I have bought several diffusers, bubble counters, drop checkers, and lots of hard to get plants, mosses in particular and never encountered a problem, when you have been in this hobby for a while you generally end up with tons...

Has anybody bought this plant from Aquaticmagic what I really want to know is this the long leaf version or just the ordinary shorter leaf version, Im looking for the long leaf version but am not sure if this is the right one. He has two versions on the site a narrow leaf version and a needle...

Here's another seller ebay seller The intake pipe from aquaticmagic is pretty, well, not pretty putting it kindly, the intake length on these pipes look a bit short though at 24cm for a large tank (or are they? not sure of the normal length here)
