Yes, that is all I own these days. I use to make them, but now I have other folks make them for me:) The look and feel is very nice, there are no tubes or wires other than the lights, which I'll tie to the steel post. I will be painting the post and the fixtures a steel colored silver enamel...

Here's some other designs: This is a 180 Gallon tank I'm getting ready: The light is not on the hanger for this tank, but you can still see the clips that hold it. Same style as the smaller 2ft version above. Regards, tom barr

It's much like th Aqua medic Ocean light, but cost 135$ USA, about 1/2 the cost of the AM light(250-300$). Came with a 10,000 K bulb, but I have ADA 8000K HQI bulbs as well. Regards, tom Barr

Halo Toby, Some of the readers might like this DIY project: I used electrical conduit pipe, 1/2"(about 1.4 cm) diameter The tool is the pipe bender. I made two bends on this pipe to get the desired shape. This cost about 1$ for the pipe and 25$ for the bender. The...

I do not think HC will grow well on rock alone. You can try spraying it with a hydroponic solution. But this must be done frequently. Or you must use very porous rock. An idea that might appeal to you: use ADA aqua soil and make a rock ball shape that you want. ADA aqua soil(ADA AS) is a...

Pflanzenfreund Your rock layout is too central. Try making a mound on one side of the aquarium. Move the rock group over to one side of the tank ( a little bit). I suggest that aquarists experiment and spend several days with the rocks and try various layouts to see what appeals the...

Looking nice! In about 2 more weeks, it should look pretty good and be time to add water. Make sure to add high CO2, there are already everything that's needed in the sediment, so you should make sure to really focus on CO2. Regards, Tom Barr [hr] Übersetzung: Sieht schön aus...

The plant came in as a containment in a shipment in 1972. So the plant did come from a natural variation. Where? I am not certain, Perhaps Jan Bastimer would know more details there. The genus is in a state of rapid evolutionary flux. So a lot of local variations are common and this makes it...

Halo, Pardon the English response, I do very well with this plant using ADA Aqua soil and shading+ CO2. It really needs shade or lower light to thrive and reach it's full potential. Spectacular plant. Regards, Tom Barr [hr] Hallo, entschuldige für die englische Antwort. Ich halte...

Wow, That's crazy stuff to add:) Lucky the plants and fish did not die! As you can see, there are many things that we overlook and need to consider:) Glad no losses and that growth returned in 2-3 days. Do some water changes! Get that stuff out of the tank! Do not feel bad, 15 years...

Well, I put a lot of time into things and redoing things. The integration was the hardest part bring several groups together to make it all fit together. I think 300 gallon or about 1200 liters would be the largest tank I'd personally ever own. It's just too much work to have larger tanks...

This is an idea of the scale of the tank: Mark from Tenji is standing there thinking. Tenji is a company that is comprised of group of professional public Aquarist from Monterey Bay Aquarium, one of the best funded and dramatic public aquariums in the world. Mark was a curator there...

Xmas moss, Java fern and Bolbitus all do very well at 28C. We throw out perhaps a 40-50 liter bag monthly. I have smaller tanks I sell the narrow leaf java etc I have in there. At this volume, few LFS or hobbyists can handle that much aquatic plants :oops: The higher temperatures have...

Werner, Ya, ADA As does have a lot of Mn, Zn and other trace metals. Most clays are rich in those metals. Pflanzenfreund- The large single rock on left seems out of place. You may need more rocks to try and play around until the scape "feels right" to you. I often suggest to aquarists...

Tobi et al, I would suggest the modified PMDD with PO4. This is where the link is for this: This was around long before PPS, and the dosing amounts are rather, well they are, pretty much the same as PMDD. Here's an example: http://www.barrreport.com/estimative-in ... osing.html...

Here's an example of EI dosing methods on a tank I did for a client: The tank is 1600 gallons(w.sump) and 12ft x 4ft x4ft The client is getting things right, I still am working on adding a O2 controller and a special CO2 flow metering system, unlike anything seem in this hobby. He still...

Ya Tobi, please do so. Also, if you need any PVC parts etc, you can order them in bulk and have several people go in with you for a mass order. I'm sure that PVC piping is used for homes there. Finding it like in the USA is quite another matter. Clear PVC like the large tubing is special...

Danka Tobi! Tom Barr

Pflanzenfreund, I would suggest adding some slope, hillside to the layout. Experiment with the rocks and see what most appeals to you. Adding two large slopes on either side of the rock display, or adding two separate rock groups on each side high on the hillsides would also be appealing...

und und Drip irrigation valves are not shown. These can be placed on each venturi loop to control flow rates of CO2 and "Recalcitant" or stubborn gas. They are not needed if you chose to use both venturi loops at full capacity. This design is highly effective, cost 10-20$ US...
