Plants require adequate light (high in the blue and red spectrum, intensity and duration) and nutrients (in which I include CO2, macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients) in order to photosynthesis (grow). These must be in balance for the plant. If there is an excess of any one beyond what the plant is capable of using […]
My set up is quite similar to yours but I have a few hundred more gallons. We have suffered through green water the past two summers of our set up. Our pump goes into a bio filter with UV but no matter what we did with flow […]
To answer Amber; so far I haven’t noticed any plants getting sucked up in my filtration or my power head. so far so good.
In response to Lenny: I leave my daylight lights on during work (approx 9 - 12 hrs) then, I switch to the blue or actinics for throughout the night (9 - 12 […]

Steve:
I’m in Schweinfurt, which is north (I think) of Mannheim by about an hour. I am currently back Stateside for school and won’t return untl September, but I’m starting to scope everything out.
Shakey — Thanks for the advice. I am going to look at those sites over the weekend while I’m recovering from today’s […]
Ray and Bill, I was not as angry in my post as you guys seem to think I was, I was only pointing out that Ray comes across as mean at times, even if he doesn’t mean to be. I thought I also stated somewhere in my post to James that I have […]
Hello all, I live in Virginia and am planning my first pond. I am not in any hurry as I want to do it right. It was actually my husbands idea but guess who will be doing most of the work. He is stationed on a cutter right now and isn’t home much but he […]
