    Roma 240 Planted Tank

    You may get different answers to that as some peoples DC's do stay green. The important thing is probably that you do not have too much agitation, ie splashing, as your Co2 will drive off quicker. The main thing to remember is that the changes you make will not fix things overnight, you need...

    Roma 240 Planted Tank

    The DC wont always return to blue overnight. It you have little surface agitation then it may stay green. You can check if the solution is still OK by removing the DC from the tank for an hour. It should go back to more of a blue colour. While you have no livestock you can turn also up the co2...

    Roma 240 Planted Tank

    You say 6 hours lights / Co2 but how long is the Co2 on before the lights start. Are you using a DC to give you an indication of Co2 levels or using a PH pen?

    Moroni Rock

    Moroni Rock

    Moroni Rock

    A garden centre I use has a small aquatic section and I noticed today they were stocking Moroni rock. A quick google doesn't turn up much on this stuff other than pictures. I can't find anything really related to using it in an aquarium. So is it aquarium safe and has anybody used it?

    Oak, and it's buoyancy.
