    Ordered UP inline item looks different.

    This is the new up inline diffuser. It's basically using the same technique but slightly different build. Not to mention that it also cost a little more too.

    UP inline co2 or the new super mist diffuser

    they are pretty much the same. The new super mist diffuser is what was originally within the up inline CO2 diffuser. they just pull it out and put it as a stand alone diffuser.

    CO2 bottle certification

    I've got an old bottle of 2kg CO2 cylinder that is for sale but I don't know when it was last inspected and certified. Is there anyway to find out? There is a whole lot of number printed on the bottle and the closest that I could get to trying to work out a date is a number set that says 08/01...

    New 100% way of dissolving CO2 without a single bubble seen

    Re: New 100% way of dissolving CO2 without a single bubble s a semi permeable membrane basically means that the permeability of the membrane only allows molecules of certain size to diffuse through it in a passive manner. So for example if you have a membrane balloon and on the outside of it...

    New 100% way of dissolving CO2 without a single bubble seen

    Re: New 100% way of dissolving CO2 without a single bubble s The difference with the membrane technology that you pointed out was that they do produce bubble. Semi permeable membrane literally means that water molecules is too big to get through the membrane. The two items that you pointed out...

    New 100% way of dissolving CO2 without a single bubble seen

    Re: New 100% way of dissolving CO2 without a single bubble s I had one of those "external diffuser" too and I noticed that it chucks out a whole gush of CO2 every so often and I was getting algae issues too. Which is why I don't use it anymore. But this new diffuser sounds like it's a solution...

    New 100% way of dissolving CO2 without a single bubble seen

    Re: New 100% way of dissolving CO2 without a single bubble s I find that diffuser as such doesn't achieve 100% diffusing rate as they always ended up accumulating bubbles in the filter before churning them out all in one go then the whole process starts all over again. And if you put the...

    New 100% way of dissolving CO2 without a single bubble seen

    Just came across this product on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AquaMedic-Membran ... 48406e06cc Has anyone tried this? Is it as efficient as it claimed? It looks like a small enough unit to be easily hide away behing some stem plants and if what it claimed is true then it's a lot cheaper and...

    Membrane Co2 diffuser

    Has anyone ever tried this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AquaMedic-Membran ... _818wt_905 Sound absolutely feasible. Was just having the thought in my head and went and look online and was so gutted that someone else has invented it.

    Co2 tubing degrading in tank

    I bought mine from some ebay seller 2 years ago can't remember who but it's a UK seller not one of those south east asian seller. Then I bought the proper CO2 tube from aquatic magic from malaysia and never look back

    Co2 tubing degrading in tank

    That's probably not a CO2 tubing then. there is a lot of seller out there that is selling silicone tubing as CO2 tubing and claimed that they are resistant to CO2 leakage. DON'T LISTEN TO THEM! Silicone tubing is silicone tubing and it will be corroded by the CO2 passing through it and what you...

    diy co2 on a 55 gallon

    Did you do a water change as well? Anubias don't tend to be the first to bubble if there is other faster growing plants in the tank. I got my Full CO2 kit for less than 60 quid. It comes with a CO2 cylinder, regulator, tubing and home made Co2 diffuser. Only thing is that I have to run it 24/7...

    CO2 diffuser with the smallest bubbles

    Well I need a diffuser for my CRS tank and I really don't want to be using bleach in any of the equipment knowing how sensitive these shrimps are. Went online and found a few ideas, spend a few hours executing it and got it there in the end. The best thing of all the bubbles doesn't really...

    CO2 diffuser with the smallest bubbles

    These bubbles are just as fine as those skimmer bubbles! I can't seemed to find any other way to described these bubbles. you just reminded me about that. the good thing about this is that you can increased or decreased the Co2 rate to control the diffusion. The skimmer is normally driven by...

    CO2 diffuser with the smallest bubbles

    Just wondering out of all the available CO2 diffuser out there, which one have you guys tried that produced the tiniest bubbles? I've used inline diffuser, ceramic diffuser and wooden diffuser but I find that the cheapest and the most efficient one being a small internal pump with a piece of...

    little co2 system i found, will it work with.....?

    The threading to this Co2 bottle is very similar to the one for the 88g bottle. On one hand it will make it very small and sleek. Easily hide away in small cabinet for a nano tank but I doubt that this bottle will last long. Probably excel work out cheaper in the long run. However on the same...

    co2 regulator and beverage bottle co2

    If you don't mind driving to the gascylinder warehouse, you can purchase the whole bottle full with CO2 for about 50 quid. Still a good deal for a 50 mile drive in opinion. lol

    Lunapet CO2 regulator question

    Occasionally you can get a 2kg Co2 bottle on ebay for £30 delivered. It's one of the proper one with the body as FE but they have change the push lever handle on FE to a twist open knob.

    Drop checker green???

    is it necessary to use 4 kH solution in the drop checker? And does the solution in the drop checker need to be change everytime you perform a water change?

    Drop checker green???

    That's useful to know. I don't have a drop checker at the moment but I'm running my 70 litre at 2 bps. Hopefully when the drop checker comes along it won't be showing yellow.

    Splitting CO2 between two tanks

    I did confirm with them and they said electronic regulator is regulator with solenoid in this context. But I think it only applies to certain solenoid. Solenoid valve from lunapet won't fit onto the splitter whereas the one from aquatic magic would

    Splitting CO2 between two tanks

    The ones from aquatic magic is fine but if you look carefully at them, you will realise that some solenoid valve won't be able to connect to these splitter. I know the one from Lunapet won't do as they have a different thread

    CO2 diffuser not working

    lol I think I'm running at pretty high level I think. haven't got a drop checker but I run 2-3 bps into the inlet in a 16 gallon tank. with the diffuser i cut it down to 0.5-1 bps as if it goes any quicker it turned into a CO2 air stone! That's another eason why I don't think those bubbles are...

    CO2 diffuser not working

    well that's what I thought initially but then if I inject my CO2 into my inlet and get 100% diffusion, I should get pearling under the same lighting and fert regime right? Nope I get nothing if I inject it into the inlet. and furthermore I sit next to the tank for over an hour looking at the...

    CO2 diffuser not working

    I've got a nano CO2 diffuser with ceramic plates. Normally I just inject my CO2 into the inlet of the external pump and I get literally no CO2 bubbles coming out from the other end. Recently I've added a CO2 diffuser into the tank and direct the flow of the outlet of the pump directly over the...

    Fluctuating CO2 Output

    Occasionally you can find a seller on ebay that does 2kg CO2 bottle for 30 quid including delivery. It's not one of the FE bottle. It's one of the bottle with a nice grey colour to the body and a very sturdy look with nice red knob on the top to twist to open. Keep an eye on ebay and if you come...

    Splitting CO2 between two tanks

    I thought the whole point of having a check valve was to prevent the water from going back into the solenoid. From the position of your check valve I think the water from your bubble counter will flow back into your solenoid as the check valve is preventing water from returning from the tank...

    CO2 kits

    yeah I've came accross that seller as well. The thing that stop me from buying it is that I wasn't sure if the fire extinguisher would fit on the regulator there. I know there is different type of connection but I wasn't sure which is which.

    CO2 kits

    What a pity. The cheapest regulator on ebay with solenoid and everything else equiped is going to cost 40 quid with a 20 quid delivery.... With a Co2 bottle delivered and the cost of CO2 tubing and diffuser the whole thing will come up to nearly 100 quid... Guess I will have to leave my plan for...

    CO2 kits

    hey eds, any idea how much both the kit will approximate to? I've check their webpage but there is no mentioned of refillable cylinder in the webpage.

    Cheap fire extinguisher

    I'm very tempted to get the CO2 fire extinguisher after reading all these post. But I was wondering how do you turn the bottle on? It's a lever system where you press the lever and CO2 is release. So how do you keep the lever in an open position? Or do you change the lever and disconnect the...
