would that be the T8 single or double bank and for approx how long to be on for?

Where might I find this video please

wow you guys have done me proud....thanks a billion. The c02 issue....the Discus started turning upside down and swimming nose down and at the top. I have had no co2 on now for 3 days and the fish are fine, feeding and behaving 100% normal.
