Ok so should i be looking at ideally getting a fluval 405 then? With regards to the water used, is tapwater ok? Or should i use ro water as i do for my reef tank and use something like ro right? Regards, Chris.

Hi Garuf, can i ask what is the reasoning behind having such large filters on a relatively small tank? Would a larger filter just blow the plants around? Regards, Chris.

Well, i was thinking of a Fluval 205 that would give me i think around 10x per hour turnover. Would this be sufficient? Regards, Chris.

Hello all :) , i presently keep a marine reef tank but have aquired a small 24"x15"x12" with which i would like to do a small planted aquarium. Now i have kept a large planted aquarium before which was a dennerle system and i still have the co2 system which i will use. Now my question is what...

Hi Sam, thanks for the welcome :D Yeah i am more into the heavily planted natural 'jungle' look tank, so im not going to be changeing scapes every few months. I want a substrate which will give good growth for a long period of time the dennerle deponit had a life of around 5 years i think...

Hi all, im new to this site and i must say what a great site it is!! :D . I am going to be setting up a rio 300 planted tank in the next few weeks but am having trouble deciding on a substrate. Now, i had a dennerle system in my last set-up ie cable heater, temp controller, ph controller co2...

Hi all, ive just found this site and i must say what a great site it is :D . Im after a little help. Ive kept planted tanks on and off for the last 6 years, my last system was a full dennerle set-up which ran with reasonable success for a number of years. I have had to dismantle this tank...
