    Co2 2hr rule myth

    Anytime someone asks when the co2 should come on either on forums or facebook etc the answer is pretty much generic at 2hrs before lights on, everything you read about it in Google also says the same. Being totally new I followed that blindly as I'm sure everyone does, the thought of the...

    Liquid co2 vs Gas

    With say 75l of water how much difference will there be between using gas or liquid co2? The main plant will be marsilea hirsuta so not a desperate need for co2.

    DIY diffused through a powerhead

    Running two or three tanks off a FE.......

    Has anyone does this and how would you recommend the amount be regulated for each tank as different sizes and amounts needed? Really thinking about getting into Co2 now and if I do it will be at least a 2kg FE set up so could run it on both tanks and possibly the third I have in mind :thumbup:
