First time w/ plants. PMDD, DIY CO2, and lots of questions!
Snippage
What lighting are you using ? Peter I done a diy job on my existing wood hood ( I have a sea-bray tank) I cut 2 square holes and got some 2nd hand wall washers into which I fitted 150W metal halide lamps 6,500k. With 3 x 36W triton flouros it's probably a bit ott, but it looks great and the plants are doing very well. Pete Wow ! I'm well underpowered with just the stock Juwel Rio 400 2x36w T8's with reflectors :-( Peter

Regards - Dave Dave, did you use the "official" Juwel expansion, or something else ? I used to see the Juwel set complete with three flap set on Urmston Aquatics (not connected to them in any way), but all they seem to have now are flap sets :-( Peter
