co2 settings?

[richpowell1989]

Hi guys I bought a full pressurised co2 setup of my mate yesterday paid about a quarter of what it would of cost at the shop.

But my question is what settings do I have to set it at? What ppm? How many bubbles a second?

I don't want to rush in and waste my co2 then I would have to get it refilled or I dont want to gas out my fish, my tank is a 46 gallon very very heavily planted tank with 2 x 39w t5ho with built in reflectors

Thanks rich

Do you have a drop checker? If not, get one and a 4dKH solution. After you have that start slow, one bps, and increase slowly so you don't kill your fish.

Yes mate I have those things I only paid 75 for a setup that's 500 brand new

Nice. Since it is used I would suggest new tubing and a new check valve.
