Still kinda new at this

[chlymo]

Hi everyone my name is Chris. I am still new to the aquarium hobby. I have learned a lot in the year I have been enjoying my little swimming buddies but I know what I know is barely enough to scratch the surface. I have a 92 gallon bow-front with a large amount of swimmers. I am trying my luck with a planted aquarium. If I can get this to go right I want to eventually move over to a saltwater set up.

I've used the tablets they aren't worth the paper they're packaged in. The canisters are a little beyond my budget. I have hooked an air pump up to my reactor to help stop the back flow of tank water but I bought a diffuser it worked fine the first day but it seems like it's putting pressure back in to the reactor and won't allow any air or co2 thru however there are no blockages as if I take it off and put the airstone back on it works fine.

Hi there,

I unfortunately am not very experienced in the freshwater field, but I would suggest posting your freshwater questions here:

More people check out that area. I hope that is helpful.
