Rkilling- Thanks for the link. Very informative. Does the list of parts you posted in that thread still hold true? Or have you learned of anything different/better than that original parts list? Brian- thanks for the input on the Aquatek. Looking at the Amazon comments, it seems that more than...

Thanks guys! I'm still mulling over what I'll end up doing, but I have a much clearer picture now. Brian- how do you like the aquateks? Any issues? Rkilling- thanks for the picture, that helps my visual self tons. Is that a secondary outlet with a flow control on your setup? What is that for...

Thanks for the input guys! Can anyone tell me what outlet psi I would be looking for, or a bubble count? Given my professional position, I have access to certain items of this type, but unsure of what my end co2 production needs to be. Thanks

Ok. Sorry, I work in industrial maintenance engineering, and I have to order my welders' regs (for argon) from time to time, and those regs are for any inert gases i.e. Argon, co2, nitrogen. What kind of pressure am I looking for at the output to provide a viable bubble count without gassing...

Thanks Brian. I was thinking that I don't have the room for a full size with where/how my setup is. But looking at it more, I guess the 5# cylinders aren't too big and intrusive. So if I went forward with that, anything special I need? Would a regular inert gas reg work and get the pressure down...

Hey guys. Looking for advice. Making the move to pressurized CO2 after DIYing it for a bit. Planning to start via the paintball tank route. The Milwaukee reg or the Aquatek reg? Only a $2 difference on Amazon. I've read past threads that mentioned both. Hoping that you kids could help me decide...

Awesome. Yea, your tank looks really good. Guess I've figured out my project for tonight! Thanks again Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So is your DIY just the two liter bottle type setup? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Well whatever you're doing seems to be working just great. I'm trying to figure it all out now. What about CO2, do you use a system or just dose liquids like excel? And if you use liquids, what and how often? Sorry for all the questions, just need all the help and advice I can get. I'll find...

That's awesome, I love the looks of that. What type of lighting are you using. I think I'm just finding out that I'm under-lit with what I received with the tank. I looking at new fixtures now, really have an eye on a finnex planted+

Nice Hippo! What is that plant in the back right? Is that an African water fern? I am really new to the plants, so I'm not sharp yet on identifying. I know the African water fern is one I wanted to get. So here is where I decided to stick the powerhead for now. It sounds as if we have similar...

Hi guys. I am new to the planted world and setting up a 37g tall. Just got in a Hydor 425 powerhead (the nano line) and am looking for suggestions for placement in the tank, especially since this tank is so tall. I have moneywort and cabomba rooting now, with more plants on the way. Plans so far...

Appreciate that Jferrante. I had never heard of cobalt before, thanks for the info and link. Have any knowledge or experience with an Eheim Jager? I saw someone speak highly of them before. Yea, I will probably get bigger than I need, whichever brand I get. Thank you again

Thanks Dee! Ok, wasn't sure what wattage I needed, good to know you use 100w on a similar size tank. I thought I read somewhere that someone said using two heaters was a good idea. I'll keep the Aqueons in mind then!
