Quote from: Wildfisher on Yesterday at 09:16:14 PMThe light unit has a built in controller and there is a phone app. to program it with. You can set colour temp. on-off cycles, luminosity, ramp-up and ramp down etc etc. You can even create lightning storms! 

All a bit overwhelming to be honest. 

Set the light to suit the plants and/or fish species I suppose

Get a timer for the lights if they don't have one. Having it set for a specific length of on will be easier than manual. The fish get used to it too. If I go into the shed fifteen minutes before the lights go off all the fish are settling down for the night. If I go in fifteen or so minutes after the lights come on they are all swimming about but looking dopey. There are no windows in the tank so I have a night light on a timer that comes on before the tank lights go out otherwise it would be pitch black

All this mighty complicated aquarium tanks business reminds me of my teenage dentist called Chong Kwang in Dunfermline. He had a big tank in the waiting room where the stars of the tank amongst the fishes were two little terrapins barely more than 2 inches long.

Tank 1, stage 1 complete. Installed, filled, checked for function and leaks, drained and dried.

Stage 2 begins tomorrow.

Funny enough I had a glass of Campbeltown loch tonight. It's not a bad whisky at all but I can see where you are coming from it doesn't stand out to me.

How long had the Arran 17 been open for could it be that air has killed it?

eSHa 2000 and eSHa Exit.

These are easily the best white spot and bacterial meds available to Joe Public. And they'll cover the most common ailments.

But as I alluded too in another post, keep the tank clean and you should avoid bacterial and fungal issues.

Which medications / treatments should a fish keeper always have ready at home?
