yeah they are not actinic one of the lights its 65k and the other its 12000 k and im running diy co2 and the co2 indicator has been green n plants have grown lots

 

[fishdud]

I use a 6700 and 10000k bulbs and they're doing good. I run two DIY bottles on mine and drop checker has been lime green to yellow.

 

[abrahamavelar]

also the sun wave its the 12000k thats the one the lfs has on their beautiful planted tanks aswell as the 6500 k

 

[abrahamavelar]

i just run a 3L connected to a bubble counter which i never count anyways and sofar so good

 

[fishdud]

I run a bubble stone and glass diffuser, the diffuser also acts like a bubble counter cause you can see how many bubbles go in.

 

[abrahamavelar]

ohhh i also have a airstone and run it right on the way of the power head and it distributes it pretty good and chops it into tinny bubbles sugar grain size

 

[fishdud]

That's why I need a powerhead! My diffuser does a good job but think it'll do better if I had a powerhead to make the bubbles flow throughout the tank.

 

[abrahamavelar]

yea or u could pit it in the intake of the filter

 

[fishdud]

WOW! you will not believe what just happened! So I went to shake the co2 bottle and it was doing good then like three seconds later it all of a sudden, it stops. I thought "wth?". Then noticed that it wasn't flowing right in the tube like the flow was going through but it looked stuck so where my check valve is connected to the tubes, I took it off and liquid shot all over my face! Got it in my mouth too and now my diffuser isn't producing much co2. Idk why, today is not my day..

 

[abrahamavelar]

Try checkin the lids n make sure they aint leakin or have gunk blocking the hoses

 

[fishdud]

They're not leaking. The check valve has gunk but it's been fine like that til I shook the bottle.

 

[abrahamavelar]

Ohhhh, how big is ur tank
