If your plants are growing well and healthy you don't need (additional....) co2

Your plants may or may not need co2, can you tell us more about your setup?

well, fitted it up yeaterday, will let you know how it goes

I've just fitted up my new external reactor and have another coming monday for my other tank i noticed the one i fitted has a bleed valve, how do i use this?

yes, i like that one too...trouble is its nearly twice the price!

get an airline tubing T-joint so that there is spare bit of tubbing running off to air and not to tank clamp that bit of tubing when lights are on so c02 goes to tank take clamp off when lights are off so co2 goes into room instead (it will mostly take shortest path of escape) downsides -...

Every day I have to remove a 1mm film of protein scum from the drop checker - what is this telling me about my tank?

2kg FE at 2 Bar, 4bps solenoid is on a timer - 10 hours per day, lights on for 8

no fish fatalities cause theres no fish yet!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) where's that link to calculate how long your co2 cannister will last.............

I have two full kits from that seller. One of these soenoids did blow on me but it wasn't the solenoid that was at fault - the non-return valve that comes with the kit is rubbish, it failed and water sucked back into the solenoid when the gas bottle ran out .... BANG!!!! Only thing I can say...

thanks, what about the bubbles per second - is 4 a lot for a 300l?

So, on top the BGA now, added loads of hygro and starting to get good growth all round, the anubias are pearling, all the other plants are growing well now the co2 goes into a reactor at the right of the tank and the drop checker (i use 4dkh) is at the extreme opposite corner at the left, the...

yes, i've deliberately set the canister outputs so that ripple is minimised to maintain co2 levels the festivums and angels are small just now, ideally i'd like them to each have their own tanks in the future not sure how the mid week water change affects the ei dosing, but wondering if its ok...

your probably going to flame me!!!! lol my guilty secret is that i overstock, i have 4 angels, 4 festivums, 5 rams and a couplr of pictus in there..i know i know!!! right now i'm doing a 1/3 ei dosing with double excel...when i get the presurrised co2 i'll switch to full ei dosing. theres...

thanks guys, its not discus i have but rams and festivums, shoud i drop the temp to 28? maybe i shoud run a ower output air pump too??

Hi, I have a 180l SA setup which I've ordered a pressurised CO2 kit for. I run the tank at 32 degress C, which of course lowers dissolved O2, therefore I run air into the tank via the outlet of the powerhead. This causes a lot of surface agitation. I experimented with turning of the air pump...

i had the hydor, was using it on a 180l and the cylinder lasted only 10days, i wouldn't use on anything more than 30l...good for a nano where you want to keep the system discreet i sold mine and bought another kit on ebay, cost £100 including 500g bottle, reactor, solenoid, tubing; its pretty...
