I searching the net on the use of dolomite addition on substrate. I kinda like the idea of dolomite because most trace mix doesn't have calcium in it. anyway, I was reading the wikipedia entry for dolomite and a local product description and it seems adding dolomite would increase pH, GH and...

yup. I already watching a .01 scale in ebay. just wondering if I should buy it :) ----------- thanks everyone :)

All I have is a weighing scale (use for measuring a person's weight) so I decided to check out what tutorial is available out there using a teaspoon/tablespoon. I found this site. It says: •Dissolve 1 teaspoon (6 grams) of sodium bi-carb into 1 litre of distilled water. •Take 10mL of this...

just a question again if you guys don't mind :) would you give the same advice (lights and co2 timing) if it's a newly planted tank?

all I see are red rectangles? :(

photo would be good :)

I have the same regulator and I just connected it today. The gauge on mine read 1000 and there is no gas escaping via the safety release valve (just tested using soapy water).

thanks everyone :) ------------ fyi: I had to use a nipple fitting (http://www.philmac.com.au/Product/Produ ... aspx?c=325) so I can connect the regulator to the FE. I had to use teflon tape on the fitting (fe-side) to seal it. No tape was required on the regulator-side. :)

thanks for clarification :) I guess I could try without teflon tape and see if there leaks. thank you

do you mean I can reuse whatever teflon that is already there? or completely remove the tape and screw regulator with teflon tape? thanks again

I have been reading the tutorial on using fire extinguishers and I got lost when reading the section on "firing the fe". How do I do this step? searching the forums/net was fruitless. I am assuming that "firing the fe" could be as simple as pressing/squeezing the levers. but since the term...

thanks for the reply :)

from the tank? I was initially thinking of placing the aquarium in the middle-right edge of the room. but for me to nail braces to support the hanging light is close to impossible so I decided to place it beside the PC as I can easily install braces this way. I am thinking of hiding of the tank...

maybe a c02 outflow at both ends will do the trick? I've read that suggestion mentioned in another thread maybe here or in another forum. good luck :)

maybe the sponsor's advice is wrong? :)

thank you for the detailed explanation :)

I've been looking at various diffuser in ebay. Some have 2in diameter (which I assume is the ceramic disc) and is rated at 40 US gallons. while some with 1in diameter is go up to 75US gallons. So what determines the capacity of a diffuser? I've searched the net and forums but came away empty...

thanks for the help. I would like to ask what does the metal joint sticks do? Also, I suppose I need 2 bubble counter and 2 diffusers. right? thanks again

it seems it would work but I'm not really sure. thanks for the replies :)

thanks everyone :)

my searching skills usually suck :(

A few weeks ago, I recall seeing a discussion where it was recommended to turn-on the CO2 before the lights turn on. And then turn-off the CO2 before the lights turn-off. But I cannot find the thread again (I believe it was a different forum). I searched this forum as well but cannot find a...

by looking for bubbles. right?

Thanks James. ------------ just a follow-up question when using the canister: spray bar or "duck bill"? thanks again

canister vs a separate pump? I am looking at buying a 1000LPH pump for CO2 duties. The way I see, if I connect the CO2 equipment to a canister, it'll slow down the flow. maybe I was shouldn't be concern at all at the reduced flow rate? If connecting to a canister, should the reactor/inline...

well I would've thought the quietness over the boyou would have overcome the bolt's defiency :) ----------------------- thanks dave :)

higher or lower flow canister? I have 2 filters here (1200 LPH and 2000 LPH). Where is the best canister to use? Thank you

thank you. I guess it has to be that brass one. :)

I'm considering these 2 at the moment: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... K:MEWAX:IT http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Check-Valve-CO2- ... 3a517ad6df thanks again

preferably from ebay as I don't live in the UK. thank you :) ps. i've seen glass and plastic ones but I'm not sure which one is better.

thank you :)

I looked at the ebay auction and I can see there are several sizes. what's 12/16mm? inner/outer diameter of the pipe? thank you :)

be my guest. I'm curious as well :)

thanks everyone :)

thanks for the tip :)

thank you! :)

Do I need to secure the pipe (co2 tubing where tubing needs to be heated before use) into a glass drop counter/diffuser using maybe zip-ties? or this is unnecessary?

thanks everyone :)

I must be dumb :( I understand the word in bold. but the one underlined confused me. It seems to me you just repeated what you already said?

please correct me if I'm wrong :) that last ebay link diffuser has 2 inlet. If using as an "output" diffuser, 1 inlet for the co2 pipe and the other inlet for the canister outlet. and would work in reverse if connected to the inlet of the canister. is this correct? Is it better than a reactor?

it seems people have replaced balls with noodles. Is this because the noodles dissolve more co2? maybe the noodles has to be porous? thank you

with this one, the instructions mentioned in the auction isn't very clear. how do I connect it? do I still need a reactor? thanks again

what what I understand (and please correct me). I either need a spiro diffuser OR a reactor? Which is better? I just searched and it seems reactor is better? how do I connect a reactor to the filter? I searched the net again but most results isn't very clear on connecting the reactor. thank you

I've search the net and the forum but came away empty.

I decided to get this setup for my 120cm(l) x 46cm(w) x 70cm(h) tank. It can theoritically hold around 385liters. Please comment on my choices. thank you regulator: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... K:MEWAX:IT bubble counter: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... K:MEWAX:IT...

also can I used this extinguisher? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FIRE-EXTINGUISHE ... 4a9c6acf8f thanks again

like this: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-CO2-DUAL-GUA ... 439b99fda2 there are others but the common theme is that the regulator are advertised for home beer brewing. thank you :)

I just found a great deal on flourish excel and I think this would serve my tank quite nicely as I do not have a CO2 pressurized tank. I plan to buy 7 500ml which may last me more than a year. thanks for the reply :)

I found several in ebay but I'm not sure if this can be used. Thank you :)
