Anyone seen the videos of the new aquario co2 mixer where the diffuser will go into the outflow pipe ? Jurijs is going to be doing a video to see if blocks flow as thats qhat i thought it may do, great idea as saves another break in the filter line. Whats your opinions 🤔, jist curious to know...

It is co2 art drop checker solution, thanks for all the help guys also that is my thinking looks like diluted but was dark blue when added, i need to check over a week as hard when doing water changes as not the normal water state. I will try a different solution also and @Wookii i agree its...

Hi everyone, i currently have aquascaper 900 with oase biomaster 850 and cannt seem to get the co2 correct, on a morning it is a light colour not yellow a light green ish i am going to try different drop checker solution(however when put in yesterday it was normal dark then went lime green), my...

Brilliant thanks mate

Hi everyone, struggling with co2 at moment as my drop checker is so light its hard to tell the colour, never goes dark and green is see through so hard to tell colour properly. I usually use co2 art in a tiny bottle but is there a good brand of solution you recommend and a bit bigger one that...

If ordered one of these now [emoji16] lookomg.forward to it arriving then if flow no good maybe add a 2nd smaller filter or upgrade mine when rescape Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

I think i am going to order one of them, sounds great, i have seen a few vids on YouTube with same reactor, they angled the flow straight into the co2 inlet and seemed to work well, only thing i am worried about is reducing the flow. I currently have the oase 600 buy want to upgrade soon to the...

Hi paulo hows things, just wondering how the the reactor is going ? Inam really fancying one soon as hate the mist from the inline diffusers. Anyone else using them and as mentioned earlier how much flow is lost or does it depend on the reactor ? Also can it not be placed on the inlet as...

Does it stay in the bubble counter so hopefully will last for a long time ?is it just the one you can buy in asda etc dr oetker for cakes haha. Dean Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

Wonder of mct oil would work and not caise any harm as co2 only passing through it, also would it stay in the bubble counter. Dean Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

Hi everyone hope you are all well, just a quick one, i usuall put water in my bubble counter but been hearing more and more lately about oil so it doesnt all disappear into the hose. In georges lastest video about his discus tank he says he put in mct oil (i have a bottle in house) Wondering...

Thanks for that guys hopefully i can start to down the bubble rate a little. Can someone tell me how large the 5kg co2 fire extinguishers are as want to see if fits under my 900 cabinet just want to know how tall ? Thanks dean Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

Exact same thing happens to mine mate when goes into the red the bps change a lot and means it will run out in day or 2 so probably worth changing, i need to do mine tomorro aswel. Dean Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

Hi just wondering how long FE lasts, i replaced mine on 2nd of october and just noticed nearly empty , the bubble rate is uncountable and comes on 4 hours before lights on, unless my fe what i got from a pile wasnt full that seems like a lot of co2. How lomg does yours last ? Out of curiosity...

Hi does anyone have this issue , i will try straighten the hose more but when i fill or nearly fill the bubble counter the water ends up working its way up the tube as have a hight bps. Dean Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

Thats all i ever did put in in a cup with co2 switched on boiler water and a large squirt of normal toilet bleach and leave while doing water change then put in a cup with 5ml prime and water and give a good shake about then never had any issues [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

Jist setting up intank diffiser nano neo and cant get it to stop leaking from tubing, never had this problem before been using inline for ages but want to try intank. I am aware my co2 is getting low but pressure is at 30 and tried 40 psi. Also tried cutting the tubing and trying different...

Thanks again tim i am constantly thinking of these silly questions to ask but thats what the forum is for and hopefully one day i can help people put like you do. You would think smaller tank requires less co2 but obviously not. My co2 goes on to 3.5 hours before my lights and is usually lime...

Hi everyone just recently i seem to have had to turn my co2 up ever so slightly and seems very high for a 45p. Its currently too fast to count maybe 4-5bps i am aware that harder water requires more but seems very high as some of amanos are 1bps. Lately the drop checker is dark green/blue at...

I agree with everyones pros and cons and last time i cleaned my pipes mine dripped as when tighten the nuts it pushes off the pipe but seems to give good co2 distribution plus one less item in the tank so i cant make my mind up. Worried i go back to intank and need to up the bps. Wish was a bit...

Just wondering everyones opinion on this i currently have inline diffuser but the misty tank is quite annoying so thinking about going intank as now have better flow as tried this before inline and couldnt get drop checker correct colour. Should you be able to use same ampunt of co2 ? If i go...

Hi everyone how often do you clean the inline diffuser and do you just soak in cup with 50/50 bleech and water for few hours or so then put in clean water with capfull of prime ? Thanks again Dean Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

By this i mean i have just got 2 fire extinguishers from work what were going to waste as one part has shut down and one FE was filled in 2018 and one was filled in 2012, its been tested since a few times but should it be fine to use ? Co2 is co2 i cant see why not. Thanks dean Sent from my...

I have ordered a new inline diffuser as less to look at in tank and hopefully btter co2 distribution. I have a co2 art regulator with 2 guages and solenoid and bubble counter all built in I have the working pressure around 30 psi. I have the oase thermosmart 100 filter with lilly pipes on one...

Hi jay, i am injecting co2 so looking for the ph drop. Also what pressure should the regulator be ? What is the normal drop ? My drop checker is staying dark green even after adding 2-4 bps on a 45p. Dosing using a in tank neo diffuser. Any help is appreciated Thanks dean Sent from my...

Anyone using this diffuser from co2 art , as i am trying to make my ph drop and struggling with in tank diffuser. Thinking of buying one and also i dont like the look of the in tank diffuser. Thanks dean Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

Brilliant thanks for great help everyone

Think this is previously were I have went wrong never cleaned so might buy another so can clean and swap over How often do you clean your diffuser ? Do you just inject bleach into it ? The new ones can be taken apart so going to order one Thanks dean

Hi sure this has most likely already been discussed but I would like the attomiser in the cabinet but remember reading ita best close to tank is that correct ? Inline heater is in cabinet and then would like attomiser also or would the bubbles join together in the tubing up to tank ? Also...

I have an up aqua inline like this UP Inline CO2 Atomizer 12/16mm (D-508-12) but then seen these on someone's journal is it a newer better updated model UP Inline Small Super CO2 Atomizer 12/16mm (D-519-12-S) just curious Thanks Dean

Hi I want to try an in tank diffuser for my shallow nano any recommendations of one from aqua essentials etc ? Thanks Dean

Working pressure at 2.5 bar, how do I go about cleaning atomiser ? Use bleach solution I think I read any info would be great Thanks Dean

hello mate haven't had it running ages maybe a month or so but I have been pumping in high amounts of co2 with un-countable bps, checked for leaks when set up but will check again tomorrow, it was a re-fill and just got another one delivered recently will keep eye to make sure not running out...

Hi everyone I have a 2kg FE with a dupla pro armatur regulator and I have set at high bps at the minute, but found drop checker dark green and found the bubbles per second much slower than other day its happened a few times, I marked the needled valve handle to make sure wasn't slowly turning...

Anyone ? Thanks Dean

Hi quick question I have been having a slight problem and need to run a 6mm internal diameter pipe from regulator to a 6-4mm reducer and into the normal 4mm pipe only be a small length of 6mm but could I use any 6mm pipe or does it need to be co2 proof Thanks dean

Hi there I have up-aqua regulator aswel and mine has always fluctuated it is very annoying and I tried allsorts only time it stops is when out the bps right up, at the minute I can never tell what its on as starts slow and speeds up as pressure build and drops slightly I tried all sorts and just...

what dilution few drops of bleach in bowl etc ? Thanks dean

didn't relise you were meant to clean the diffusers but found the problem anyway there was a hairline crack in the bubble counter so mustn't have been enough pressure at diffuser, set bubbles and took off the bubble counter for now will have to get one ordered also anyone recommend cheap...

Pressure is about 2.5 bar , seems to get to diffuser then does nothing only a month old or so Thanks dean

Hi all I have a problem I think I looked at my up aqua inline diffuser this morning as no mist in the tank and it wasn't making sizzling noise bubble counter was working fine then into check valve what I replaced to make sure not that, took off pipe at diffuser and co2 there but the thing is...

Thanks for that mate will do that Dean

Thanks ady, i am going to get flooded now then, just ordered a up inline diffuser now so will be here in next few days mate, can i ask quick question how often should i preform water changes at first with the co2 ? Thanks dean

tried that mat the beetle counter glass was slightly bigger than the hose so didnt have much chance but going to order a inline one anyway as they are so highly recomended by many do you think i could do what i said just to get flooded tonight ?

bad news just broke the beetle counter :arghh: size was no were near but thats what you get for buying cheap china equipment, is there anyway to get setup without a bubble counter, maybe put pipe into tank and then once right speed just plug into diffuser ? just so can flood and get running...

Hi can anyone help, i am struggling to get my co2 tubing onto the beetle counter, seems to be same size and even with vasoline on and heating with boiling water from kettle still not enough thinking about heating with lighter slightly but i know it will weaken pipe, any ideas ? Thanks Dean

Hi I am just wondering about check valves there is loads a plastic ones on eBay 10 for 2.50 and they say for co2 air pumps are these ok cause they always have co2 in title then say air pumps or will they all be ok Thanks Dean

the only plus is that it is small and compact, just struggling to find out were to purchase paintball bits and were to get filled etc, the soda stream seems to be everywere, also matt if i get co2 would u buy 2 lights 11w ? or would you just keep one ? just want a beautiful nano tank,and this is...

wow thats great ideamight think about that its defently easier, u know anyone with this setup and what size are the cylinders ? thanks Dean

anyone know if the regulators in the links are any good and also anyone know were to buy the paintball canisters ? thanks Dean

thats anyway mate ? anyone know a good one are the ones in the links i provided any good thanks Dean

that regulator is rather large for a paintball canister and would like it all in one, u think this one is any good ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aquarium-Dual ... 519a58d1d7 or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aquarium-Dual ... 563d267fb5 also really need a paintball canister anyone know any good...

any hep with good regulator would be great as i want to start buying the bits and bobs now ? thanks Dean wat does anyone think about this heard these are good ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aquarium-Dual ... 4841c8c1cb

what is the best regulator to get i have been told that up aqua reg of eBy from china. or luna pet from Germany are meant to be good, cannot find anything on the net any links and are these the best regulators ? thnaks Dean

does the tube stop u fitting a reg or cause problems in anyway or is it the pressure thats the problem ? is there anyway to know if it will have that in ? thanks Dean

the only reason i am thinking paintball because my tank when set up is only a 30l nano fluval ebi and f/e setup would look huge beside it, as smallest co2 f/e is 2kg i could get a 12oz bottle thats a lot smaller and like you say i could get 2 then keep one spare,thanks for the link to matts page...

thanks a lot for that its very helpful think i will go the the co2 paintball bottle as smaller than an f/e and will look smarter i will purchase tomorro, will i also need the converter i seen on the site i listed ? from top of bottle to the regulator ? what does anyone think about this reg...

is there anywere i could go to get filled as no room for a few bottles, i also think it looks better than the fire extinguisher as its a lot smaller and i could hide it behing the tank, so has anyone done this if so any pics of ur own set up ? is this just as easy as f/e setup ? i am keen to...

Hi all i am still researching a co2 setup for my fluval ebi i know lots of ppl done fire extinguisher setups but i have seen these set ups http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/diy/1 ... s-127.html using paintball canister setups has anyone done this type of setup i am interested beacue it is...

hi no not that sytem i bought the ebi so didnt get that, i mean a home made co2 system like the fire extinguisher on but with a paintball canister instead ? anyone think its best to have 2 lights wth fluval ebi ? thanks

thanks alastair how would i find m_att ? also does anyone think i should add a 2nd light onto the ebi or is it not required ? also any one know a decent heater ? i want to have a nice carpet and loads of plants will be asking questions about that later thanks

Hi all this is my first thread on this site , i am brand new to this hobby but very keen with lots of questions lol OK so returned my fluval flora as i purchased a fluval EBI for £62 including post and packing, i now want a co2 system for my ebi as i am planing a planted tank not a shrimp tank...
