How do i know if that is the right amount of Co2 for the plants and that is not to much for the fish?

I will get the PH controller, but how much C02 do you inject or does the PH controller does that based on the PH level compaired to desolved CO2?

I have seen systems with the PH intergration with the C02 units. Would that be a good by as well?

Well i had a 55 Gal with 3 discus and was planted all nice, my little girl knocked over my homemade CO2 bottle and the liquid got in the tank with out me knowing, so i lost everything. :bawl:I blame myself for putting it in reach of her, so i have 55 Gal with 2 55 Watt CF. My question is i don't...

I am looking at upgrading my lighting. I have 2x40 watts now. I have a 55 gal and am going to be adding a canopy soon. I want to all a lot of live plants. I was thinking something like ~ 3 wpg. Would something like this work or does someone else have any suggestions...

Well I overhauled the tank and added a new blue turquoise discus yesterday. So far so good he/she is eating and swimming with the other 2 so I’m happy. 8)

Thats the problem. The only place i can put it is next to a non-load bearing wall. It will be about 5 ft away from the main house beam. But there is nothing to worry about?

Right now i have 2 discus in my 55 gal and i have about 80 watts on the tank so it's about 1.5wpg which i know is mid/low lighting. I'm looking for some plants that will do well in low light to mid light. I'm looking for some type of grasses for the foreground and larger plants in the back ground.

I'm looking to buy a CO2 test kit but i can't find a lfs or a online retailer that carries just a CO2 test kit. I have read where you can take your PH and KH and figure what your CO2 is in the take but i have also read that if you use any peat or a water softening pillow that this can make that...

What do you suggest for buying a CO2 system? I'm running on a limited budget.

I'm looking at getting this system for my 55 Gal. http://www.bigalsonline.com/BigAlsUS/ctl3684/cp18478/si1501563/cl0/plantgroco2naturalsystem I have a Magnum 350 Canister filter. If i send the CO2 into the intake to the canister would this be a good enough disfuer? The next question is i'm...

I'm not sure where to put this but i'm looking to buy some discus from a local breader. I live in the Dayton, Ohio area and i'm looking to buy some discus. The LFS around here don't really carry Discus and if they do they want $55 for a 3" discus. I know about http://www.cincinnatidiscus.com/...

The rams will care of the eggs until they turn white i have never seen any free swimers or wigglers.

I removed the eggs and tried to artificailly reared them , but they all turned white, so i'm thinking the water it to hard. My GH is 214 ppm and my KH is 71 ppm. I live in Ohio and we are on a limestone quary. The water out of the tap is like 8.5 PH, GH 214, KH 214. My PH is up at like 8 as...

well i'm looking up the pillows now. What if i did the half RO water? Would i need to add anything to the water besides what i currently am now?

The reason i'm asking is i have a pair of blue german rams and they keep breading about every 2 weeks, but the eggs don't hatch and the parents eat them that is why i want to lower the ph and hardness. She has been laying for about the last 3 or 4 months in about a 2 week span.

I have a 55 Gal and I want to add peat to lower the hardness and PH. Where should i get it and how much to add? I have tried the stuff from fluvial and it did not do anything to lower either the PH or hardness.

What do ya all think?
