fault lies with the dropchecker, must not of rinsed it enough when i bleached it , the fresh one is still blue this morning at lights on. Kinda funny tho as i was thinking my growth rates had slowed a bit.

I'm starting to think that there is something else going on in my tank , just changed over the dropchecker to my spare with fresh 4 dkh water in so I shall see what this looks like in the morning.

I don't know the science behind it but it has something to do with how the plant uses the available energy using less to uptake co 2 means it can devote more to other activities There was a thread on barr report last year about it As always the proof is on the pudding and a near doubling of...

No worries :P

Sorry ? My question was about co2 in mist form vs co2 that has been totally dissolved into the water coloum and the effects (if any) on fauna , which is still unanswered.

Drop checker is 4dkh water and bromo blue ofc, and as my tank is light limited more co2 = faster growth , via a long process of trial and error over the last year or so i`ve managed to run the tank with much higer levels of c02 than is genrally reccomended via a combination of lowering the...

I purchased an AM100 reactor and installed it yesterday in my trigon 190 , prior to this i was using a needle wheel modded PH to distribute the co2 in the tank via mist. With the mist i could allow the dropchecker to turn yellow 2-3 hours into the photoperiod without any ill effects to the fish...

Re: Any ideas were i can get a cheap refilable fire extingui Where are you ?

Are you using 4DKH water in the drop checker or tank water?

Misting usually involves feeding your CO2 into a modified power head, try googling for needle wheel mod.

Re: Aquamedic AM1000 Reactor - Advice? The more you open the by-pass valve the less flow is directed thru the reactor, therefore the impact on your filters flow rate is lower, but the obvious trade off is poorer or slower CO2 dissolution(if thats the correct term) as the bypass is opened...

I dont have rummynose tetras , but my tets go into hiding/stay low for quite some time if i have my hands in the tank for a while (trimming , water changing etc) which i presume is because they are getting spooked. might just be something similar. (also i always train my fish to feed from my...

It really depends on how efficient your method of diffusing is , the aim is to have 30 ppm by the time the lights come on, every tank is different :P mines coming on one hour before lights on and off 30 mins before lights off (i have quite a lot of surface movement so my tank out gasses the co2...

How did you check for the leak? best way when looking for pressurised air/gas leaks is a little washing up liquid and water in a spray bottle , hard to find the miniscule leaks with hands only. My best guess would be that is something to do with the regulator as it comes across that you changed...
