Comp_nov09: Carbonated miniature

[Jack middleton]

yeah, sorry about the cheesy name

Name: Jack Middleton

Tank Dimensions: 6*6*6 units will be confirmed later

Aquascape Name: carbonated miniature

Hardscape/Materials used: ADA zebra stone, Play sand

Plants: P.Helferi

Fertilisation: 0.1ml of TPN+ and 0.1ml of Easy carbo

About the aquascape: this has cost me £0.00 as I used a cube I already owned, play sand came from the main tank as did plants and hardscape, its kind of a mini gumi, as I went for a three stone formation.

Pictures up later

Cheers, Jack

Sounds good

 

[Jack middleton]

I forgot to add, the reason for the name is that I'm using 40mls of carbonated water to provide CO2

Cheers, Jack

Interesting idea Jack. I've read of people doing this before but unsure on the results. I'll defo be interested in how it turns out

the CO2 will gas off quickly, it is like leaving a can of pop on the side,

I'm interested in seeing how the carbonated water goes for you. I've never tried it, but read that it doesn't work well because it's not a constant flow of CO2.

Sounds like an interesting plan.

I don't know if its excess CO2 or what, but ive got hundreds of bubbles It will be gassing off quickly though, but ive kept a lid on the container, to keep the CO2 in, in the hope some of it is usable through gaseous exchange, I am also revealing that the tank is 6*6*6cm

Its a case to a small puzzle I picked up on holiday

Im going to do water changes every 12 hours, the lack of flow will be the biggest worry along with the TPN+ as it contains ammonium, which is a recipe for algae :?

Pics up tomorrow as I spilt coke over the card reader

Cheers, Jack

This is how Amano discovered co2 benefits plants some 35 years ago. Good luck with it

 

[Gill]

this is going to be interesting once i can see the pix of it.

 

[AdAndrews]
