Yea I'd rather spend more for quality than save some and spend what I would have spent on a quality fixing the cheaper one. Haven't looked much into diffuser yet. Seen some DIY but I don't like them and really not sure where to start.

OS which regulator did you go with from gla. I've been looking at a few of them. I've never had pressurized co2 and want something easy to setup and won't give me a ton of problems. I was looking at the Milwaukee but I also see lots of people having issues with the solenoid and with...

like I said its bare

I got one but I just completely cleared out my tank. Had a bad outbreak of cyano so I just dumped it all.

I've been runnin their quad t5 for over a year. I love it haven't had a single issue yet

Looks good hopefully the carpet will turn out how you like. My buddy struggles with dbt but finally got it to carpet.

this is how she sits now. But in a few short weeks its gonna be completely different. It's a bit cloudy but I think it's due to the driftwood. Using 2 maxijet 600's as circulation pumps for now to help with dead spots

So I'm thinking of going with Activflora for substrate with no cap. I'm thinking 2-3 inches should be fine? And hopefully ordering the regulator for the co2 at the same time so I can get it up and running. And then begin with the madness of plants muahah. I found some good plants on aquabid...

Awesome thank you so much. ? Don't worry I get a lot for having all my tanks. She loves them she just won't openly admit it.

Also would the lights I'm running be med/high lighting or low/med, running either 2 bulbs or all 4. I keep getting looks from the wife as I shop for more stuff. Bought her a fluval spec tank off Craigslist for $30 so now she has one and wants to do small plants. May even do the small fluval...

Awesome I will definitely check those out. OS, have you ever used the Milwaukee regulator? Haven't seen many kits for the same price

Thank you I'm also looking up ferts to start using when I do go pressurized which should be the end of this month. Gotta love that tax money. Everywhere I look seems to be a bit confusing though

Yea I really like the black sand and how it makes some colors really pop. I finally broke down and painted the back of my tank black. I'll see if I have any pictures. That's right after the cycle finished. I've only added a few plants since and gave away most of my stock. All plants from before...

Yea I thought about using paintball as I can get them filled free but gonna see what my options are soon

I've tried the diy co2 but with it being a 55 I didn't see much results so I'm going pressurized. Thinking of getting the Milwaukee rig my friend had one and said it worked great
