Appreciate the reply. Attached are some of my plants that are having issues. https://imgur.com/a/yBNil8g

I feel like I'm missing something. I've had tank up and running for 4 weeks, cycling is just about done. I feel like the plants have helped alot with ammonia being low during the cycling but now i feel like after 2 weeks of having the plants in tank i feel like they are not doing well. Some...

I used to be regular on here 7 years ago and fell out of the hobby so im back again trying to figure it all out once again. I went with a different approach in my 65g planted tank and using organic potting soil with eco complete cap for the substrate, and i feel im running into issue during...

Go to your local hardware store or Home Dept and they have adapters for these things. Just bring both adapters from the aqueon water changer and you will find it...i had the same problem on my marina water changer...looked everywhere except Home Dept and the adapter that fitted my faucet..cost...

The lil guy died during the night :(

So when it comes to curing this lil fella, what im doing ok?

No love for the sick puppy?

I get my water from lfs, and they add acid buffer and equilibrium...they call it "plant water"

I'm gradually switching my tank over to RO, 10g per pwc. But usually when I do a pwc using tap water I use prime..i think im right in I don't need a container for RO because there are no harmful metal etc..correct?

I was at my lfs and was browsing the aquariums before being helped, at the corner of my eye i spotted a corydoras aneus swimming rapidly to the top gasping for air. I noticed when it sat there it was breathing quite heavy and its eyes look bigger more like its eyes where about to pop out, also i...

Im wanting to purchase two gbr that require softer water. But If i have hard water, i have read that using peat moss lowers pH. But if iim using diy co2 and using peat moss two..is it possible to get an accurate reading for kH, pH and amount of co2? Others say using RO water would be better but...

My current stocking is as follows: 7x rummynose tetra 6x neons 4x cories 2x yoyo loaches 1x oto 1x angelfish 1x pearl gourami My tank is kinda overstocked and since I have gotten my diy co2 up n running, I can focus on stocking it correctly, to where I have the appropriate fish to enjoy all me...

Pressure will need time to build, so to test this wait a couple of hours.

EUREKA!!!! last night i try these things we talked about (removing/unremoving check valve and diffuser) and nothing seemed to work just the same old thing, bubbles into the separator but not the tank. I was getting really annoyed, so i was kinda lost. One train of thought came by and I removed...

took off the check valve between the separator and diffuser nothing changed after waiting awhile. When I press on the reactor bubbles come to the diffuser. Also should my co2 mixture be frothy after 3 days fermenting?

what type of diffuser are you using?

bubbles to your diffuser?

When i get home from work I will be able to check cv and airline and use airline without diffuser, ill try all these, if none work its gonna be a bummer.

I've been using warm water..so i know the yeast is fine.

Id be really hesitate in removing the check valve from the airline leading into the tank.

i will check the airline from my separator and diffuser and check the check valve. question though...i was reading on another forum about water pressure the deeper the diffuser is, i have my airline almost to the bottom of the tank...do you think the water pressure might be causing a blockage...

yes i'm getting a bubble a second through my glass jar separator. but none in my tank yet :(

Last looked 3hours ago..and still no luck..im getting about a bubble/sec in my separator. I'm using a small glass jar, making space not an issue since I was using a bigger bottle before.

I use a cross valve...its pretty much at this point, me needing patience for the pressure to build, I guess if co2 isn't entering my tank in 24hrs start investigating again I guess..thanks for all the help everyone, yeah guys make this site worth coming to everyday.
