I want to buy a new CO2 regulator, and i am thinking of buying a dual stage regulator while i'm at it. Now i have a few conditions; it must fit a EU CO2 cillinder (DIN477 / W21.8) and it must be powered by a 240v Solenoid. I've found this one, claiming to be a dual stage regulator, but neither...

Any advice on the canister vs wet/dry discussion which is in my head? :0

I think a lot personally. but i haven't ordered the NW yet. I just bought the clear 20" tall housing for now. I have decided that i will be using something like this so before it is delivered (will take some time) i will have answers to my remaining question with regards to flow, because... I...

What was it supposed to do? And where did you buy it? I can't find it anywhere at least not for that price (60 quid) And by the way, isn't 10" (i assume that is the diameter)? HUGE? or is it 4.5? ?

And that works with a cerges reactor? Did you reverse/connect it? E.g. the atomizer connects to the "OUT" of the filter housing and the water to the tank goes out the IN connection of the filter housing? e.g. this baby?

Well there you have a point.. At first i was like; both methods (normal or reverse flow) are exactly thesame with regards to water flow, but i now get your point. With "inline" diffusing, what do you mean? Like with the AquaMedic "T", with an atomizer or with a NW pump? I ordered a 10" unit...

Are you sure? I was thinking that the increased dwell time (since the reactor is large in diameter) it would allow the co2 to have more contact time with the water. If i use the clear water filter housing as it is designed (e.g. inflow IN, then outflouw going OUT, but with a pipe to the bottom...

thnx, will go for seperate outlets. however; how would i go about this then? I currently have the filter outlet as spraybar across the entire length of the tank facing forward. @ceg4048 how should i position my co2 outlet? 1) At the front of the glass from one side pointing to the other side? 2)...

Maybe @ceg4048 and @foxfish as subject matter experts have a say in this? :)

I was thinking of adding an Eheim Compact+ Marine pump on a seperate inlet for CO2 enrichment. This is a NW pump (venturi style), followed by a clear water filtering housing to increase dwell time and then join the return with the Fluval FX6 output to the main tank. Would this work? Returns...

I think Edvet was referring to plants in relation with a waterchange :) @Edvet i removed the wooden airstone this morning and replaced it with a GLA bazooka.

Yes i know but i first have to get my co2 injection in order before i try to switch to this kind of co2 distribution. Also true :) This was the answer i was looking for, since doing it midday causes co2 instabillity! How long before lights go off do you stop co2? Which i now have... So if i...

So i have Akadama, on some spots i am getting brush algae. Water is injected through a spraybar and it seems that the brush algae is appearing only on the ends of the spray bar where water circulation is less then in the rest of the tank. So you'd think that it is the water circulation but i...

So i just finished with my first plumbing changes. I removed the AM1000 reactor and installed a ADA Pollen Glass 30mm below my Fluval FX6 filter intake. Besides the fact that my Fluval does not resonate anymore because of the removed AM1000 (less noise, jay!) i also managed to remove 2x20mm 90...

check, will report back on saturday somewhere with some results.

With Pre-gas-on pH you mean; the pH of the tank before i start injecting CO2. right? And i should make you a graph of the pH values during the day with my new non-ph-controlled CO2 setup for you to determine if i am on the right track?

Define usefull; is a kH around 3 to 4 and gH around 6-8 usefull enough? yep, ashamed.. got me :p What is the better option to get the CO2 into the tank? Adding a ceramic disc beneath the intake (micro bubbles, but cleaning) or adding a CO2 tube directly into the filter intake? I really think...

hehe just read your comment in this thread; http://ukaps.org/forum/threads/best-and-simplest-way-to-inject-co2.27268/page-2#post-284469 Immediately i thought; "Hmm..." So next question i have for you; I have a Fluval FX6 with 25mm inner diameter filter hose (the motor is at the bottom of the...

Ceg; Thank you so much for your help. The day before yesterday i lowered the PH from 6.4 to 6.2 and yesterday the drop checker was still green so i lowered it to 6.0. With regards to Bromo Blue; I have a bottle of ADA drop checker fluid which basically says; add 1 drop and fill up with with...

Interesting... So, what should i aim for if i'd go for the continues flow of co2? Start 1 or 2 hours before photoperiod and make sure it is dropped 1 full point when lights go off? Should i start with green and end up yellow, or how can i tune the CO2 distribution when i don't have a pH pen to...

My fish are currently fine, i am just worried that the amount of co2 i have to add is more if my kh is lower; or is that a mistake in thinking? In other words, ignore ph, focus on a (freshly filled) drop checker? makes me wonder if i should step away from pH controlled CO2 and go for continues...

The more i read on this forum, the more i come to understand that in my current tank CO2 and flow are the only fractions i have yet to tune.. So this quote got me thinking; Especially the last sentence of this part is what intrigues me. I think that the reason people advise to improve flow is...
