What is easycarb?? :oops: Richard

I don't know if this should be in CO2 questions, but feel free to move it if it should. :shifty: I have a drop checker in my planted tank and I was wondering, is it normal for a film of scum to develop on the waters surface inside the bell of the drop checker? Cheers Richard Ergo, moved...

1st Hagen CO2 system arrived today. I'll monitor the levels and if necessary order a second unit. I now just need to get an air pump to work through the night and hopefully I'll be sorted. :clap:

Right, I'm with you. I'm gonna order one, get it up and running (with an air pump running on a timmer set to the opposite of the light) then keep an eye on it using the drop checker and then see if I need a 2nd one. Cheers :thumbup: Richard

Just had a quick look at these. I think I'll get a couple. How do you control the flow rate? Richard

Ok, really appreciate the advice. Starting to re-think the whole DIY CO2 system now. I'll have a look around for a good value system.

AAARRRGGGHHH!!! After literally hours of trying different formulas, checking for leaks, replacing bottle top with new silicone sealer (enough to seal around 400 fish tanks I'd say), it turns out the air taps ALL leak. I have 3, 1 on each bottle and 1 to control the over all out put, and they...

Thank you. I really appreciate the advice. :thumbup:

It's a 2 litre coke bottle and I've filled it up to just before the start of the curve at the top of th bottle. :angel: Richard

HHMMMM, I think the guy in the shop may have got this one wrong, although he did know it was for a fish tank and he did seem like he knew about it. This morning still nothing. The brown foam is now more of a white foam. I presume these DIY CO mixtures produce enough pressure to pass through...

Hi guys, Need a bit of help again please. I have this morning filled my Rio 180 up. It currently just contains the substrate. The decor is going in tomorrow when I'll partial empty and then re-fill the tank (I had to check it was water tight and the heater and filter work, which they do...
