Hi, I just bought this amazing light from Chihiros - WRGB II Pro 120. And I have been searching up and down the net, to find reviews regarding this armatur in order to find the best settings - for a planted tank. My tank is planted. Not heavy but on the other hand not light either. Tank...

Hi, I found that the solution from iQuatics not was the right one for me, despite of the 4 bulbs and the way it fitted to the flaps from Juwel. It left no room for maintance and I wanted a ip67-68 waterproof unit. Now I found a light from Ledstar. It is the Ledstar AQ Z series 120 cm. Saw some...

Hi, Thanks for reply. Now thats a really cool light unit from iQuatics. Seems to be the solution Im looking for. Must save a little up first tho. I got two questions. First - In order to get the best result for advanced plants. what kind of light bulbs to choose and in what order to put them...

Hi, I got a Juwel Rio 350 tank - and CO2. For this I got 2 light sources. First a HeliaLux Spectrum 1200 - 60 Watt. And then a MultiLux MultiLux LED 120 Unit. Now I wonder which of the two units to choose, if I wish to grow following plants?: Dark Red Ludwigia Alternanthera reineckii Rotala...

Hi, Just want to hear your thoughts in the fish-composition, which Im thinking to put in my newstarted 350 liter tank. They will not get in there all in one go, but I will be putting them in gradually. Starting with the barb and ending with the two Butterfly Ram. Here we go: Red phantom tetra...

Hi, In a short while I will add CO2 to my tank. I will set it up like u see in the picture: The CO2 setup will be a standard setup. Filter is pumping out at upper right side - the CO2 will pump out through a diffuser at lower left side. That will ensure a good circulation, I guess. But not...
