excel on a 90? you got more money than i do. excel isnt a fert, its an sub for your C02 that you already have. even though i swear by excel on small tanks i have to say sub the excell for a seachem flourish. Excel wont stop your plants from turning yellow. all that aside dont be discouraged and keep going. i would love to see pictures of you tank as it grows in!

ROTFL. Maybe the glosso will cover some of it up?

Besides the "ahem" discussion above, I say ADD MORE ROCKS. Not enough at all.

**rountreesj** · 09-09-2008, 06:12 PM

Basilisk · 09-09-2008, 06:57 PM

+3 for more rocks

coldfusionpower · 09-10-2008, 04:51 PM

my water chiller fan broke

and i had to find a temp. fan . here it is .. its a little bit bigger that the chiller so it will be placed at the back blowing to the condensor.

and guess where i got it ..

the fan will be powered by a pc PSU i had laying around in my room.

about the part of more rocks .. any suggestion on where to put it ?

MarioMaster · 09-10-2008, 05:35 PM

was the fan rattling/making a lot of noise or did it just stop working? If the fan just stopped working the motor probably overheated and you should check the cooling fins and give them a good cleaning (this will also improve efficiency

)

coldfusionpower · 09-10-2008, 05:41 PM

well . its just stopped .. when i turn the thing on, it makes a few turn and stopped .. the thing wants to turn but it looks like it stuck .. even if i turn it, it just stop after a second.. does that means its overheated ?

p/s: to others, i will post the picture tomorrow.. water too cloudy tonight .. and my camera battery ran out of juice .. charging now ..

Yeah, those are burns on the image sensor of my camera. Don't ask - it involved some high powered lasers
