    Tank Problems

    Outch that is one hella leak, it is good you spotted it when you did, as for cabinet have a nosy around, but you will be surprised how little you need to hold up such weight, I been using ikea units to hold up my tanks 110L on a besta box unit I’m amazed it holds up but it does and doesn’t...

    Exactly that I think the products are questionable especially the LED’s and the Drivers however one of my drivers in the custom tank cabinet with the 88L tank has worked solid since I installed it altho compared to this tank it’s low light levels so less heat, and the number of LED’s are less...

    Zikofski new tank 110L / 24G

    Yea I don’t know if you remember my old setups when I tried dhg, with both my 330l and 80l tanks both failed, similar setups and same led lights the only difference is I have led crammed into the space so I can only presume enough light is penetrating down to the surface for it to grow If you...

    Zikofski new tank 110L / 24G

    This is the tank after 26 days, a lot of growth and I was not expecting that around of growth is such short time As with all new tanks I started getting algae, it cleared after a while although the GSA is sticking around I need to think on how to get rid of that I also think my filter is not...
