SMD5050's at 6500K. Or at least I think they're 6500K, I haven't seen any warm white LEDs from www.4x4direct.co.za other than when it's specified.
I really have to get my LEDs installed and make a DIY piece. I paid R18 per 6 LED module of 96 lumen each. And it just needs a basic 12V...
What do you classify as normal Java Fern? Because I've got plenty of the narrow leaf type that I could donate some plantlets off.
The Galaxy Rasboras are stunning, I never see mine because they're always hiding. And wow, this setup has gorgeous plant growth! One of the...
That's interesting, it looks a bit like a flat frond type of moss.I'm guessing there was a lot of trimming involved to get it to grow that dense?
Wow, that moss is going wild, it looks great!What type is it?
Did you get a set of end caps and connectors with your strip? I'd love to see some photos of what they supply with it because that's one of my...
Thanks for Clearing that up, it seems I've taken in quite a bit of misinformation about UV over the years.
That's what I meant :P But then why do we not use UV in our aquariums more often if it's beneficial to the water quality? Doesn't UV also kill...
Then perhaps you should read this thread again. There's enough oxygen for the bacteria in the water as long as your flow rate isn't too slow or...
Yes, the bio media is fully submerged. But the compartment on the left is where the water is coming in from the tank, the middle is the bio media,...
Sorry to revive an old thread, but looking at those pictures you added @Gregorian, it's just a huge canister filter with no pump. Is my assumption...
It might seem like a punishment, but read this entire thread, it's got tons of useful information, and some sump and overflow designs in the...
If you're going full DIY then you really shouldn't rely on a single filter. I'd say a nice mid-sized sump would be best, and easier to clean than...
Just a note on the flexible strips... The IP67 waterproof strips have a silicone gel coat on one side. They don't stand up well to constant...
I love that plant on the left of your 3ft! What is it?
Tempered glass is 7 times stronger than plate glass, but any hit hard enough to chip it will cause the entire pane to shatter. That's because...
Well I've had a 6xSMD5050 LED strip in my nano tank for more than 6 months now and while it's only 96 lumen of light on a 12" tank, the Java Fern...
Usually the holes are like 3 to 5mm in diameter? So they should keep neons put
