  55. justissaayman

    The Quick Planted Tank - 80 or 90liter Juwel Rekord

    So I quickly turned it on, got the bar to read 3.5 to 4 and got the bubbles (according to an online metronome) to be 1bps. Then I turned the timer on again and this will now activate in about 50 minutes. Will it slowly start with the diffusion, or straight away?
  56. justissaayman
