Hi I do remember that there was a topic on the repair of a Light bar for a Trigon 191, can anybody help me on this please.

:) Thanks for the quick reply Andy, also for the ferts info, .. i will follow this. I agree with you about the switching on and off, .. it must in time have an detrimental effect on the lamp, so 24/7 it will be, yes it is a big b----- -uv filter and it's proving difficult to get it into the...

:rolleyes: Hello again Andy, I'm just starting to install all my bits of kit after stripping down to basics, one of my new pieces of kit includes a 'Vecton 2' UV unit, now as my Unimax filter will pump & filter 145 gals (650 litres) per hour, the thought of using the uv unit 24/7 seems a waste...

Thanks Andy, :flex: You’ve helped make the decision as the bigger one would not fit in the cupboard under the aquarium; the smaller one is a lot less in turnover but an immense improvement on what I had before. Thanks for the heater pipe line info, it’s a valid point to look out for. Thanks...

Hi Andy ;) I’m considering installing a ‘Aqua EL Unimax Professional 250 plus Ultra Violet’ (192139) which will filter 650 litres an hour, also thinking of including an inline ‘Hydor’ external 200w heater. Interested in your opinion please…. ???? Regards Stuart thinking here Andy, its...

Hi Andy I don't know if you are able to help me on this one, .. but here goes, .. syringe for ferts, unable to obtain one where I live I could only get a "Easy Dose 5ML Oral Medicine Dispenser" in 1ml segments. Can you advise me of a supplier please? Regards Stuart ps Koralia 1 and 150...

AC Please don’t be embarrassed, but I have never come across a more dedicated individual so ready to help and donate his own time so freely and with so much quality information, it is very refreshing to have met up with you, I am very grateful. OK that’s been said! Now I can move on...

Thanks again AC, sound advice as usual and I will do just that, one further thing I will ask of you for the moment relates to the ferts, I have been on that page and it tends to go over my head at the moment as I know nothing of this approach as this is something very new, but looks very much...

Thanks AC If a filter should arrive at my house replacing the black box in my Trigon and the Eheim outside filter, what would you suggest? 10 x 190 litres = 1900 so it would need to be a big one. Koralia1 as you sugested has been ordered. 0ne question will the new filter be to strong and cause...

Wow, what a response, :rolleyes: and so much information, but just what I had hoped for, .. it will take me a little while to digest what you recommend and try to reconsider changing a lot of my ways, I still have an Eheim 2213 outside filter in my store would this suffice? I take on board all...

8-) Thanks for the info regarding the lights; it is an option I will now keep in mind if plant growth is too slow. My existing gravel is If I remember, an iron clay gravel highly recommended at time of purchase about 3 years ago and is to a depth of 8cms which I intend to thoroughly clean and...

With regard to my comment ‘a bit lacking’ …. plant growth appeared to be slow and the problem may well lie elsewhere it’s one of those area’s that I feel I now need to address and I suspected that it may have been a lack of lighting, if as you suggest this is ok, then it’s in another area. The...

Hello AC Thanks for the quick reply, Present lighting consists of two 24”/61cm, tubes 1. Glo - Aqua – Glo T8 2. Glo - Power Glo Both tubes 20w With regards to the weed setup I will be aiming for a low maintenance, but I would like it to be fairly densely planted, fish to be angels with a java...
