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

It's all sand atm I'm thinking of going with either Eco complete or equivalent still doing research on that. Not sure if ill cap it with anything or just leave it as it is. I try to do at least a 25% every week with 50% at least once a month but with work and my kids I can get distracted lol...

Yea I have a extra 40 gallon that I put them in when I had to clean the tank out not to long ago. Had a horrible outbreak of cyano from when we went on vacation and could never get it under control.

So I'm debating on redoing the substrate in my 55 gallon tank. Right now I'm using 100% pool filter sand I've used it before worked good but I think in the end I wasn't happy with how it looked as well as how my plants looked. As of now I do not run co2 but am planning on it very soon...

Just go grab you a few assassin snails. That'll take care of them.

I have a 40 gallon with light hood and fluval 306 filter for sale in Charlotte if anyone is looking or knows anyone

Any suggestions on what ferts to use?

I was running them for 8 hours. I had a bad case of green water when I went out of town and couldn't find anyone to take care of my tanks so now I just leave the uv on. I'll check the levels when I get home. I don't have phosphate tester though :( I was using excel and seachem root tabs. I...

Ok so I won't lie. It's been a busy couple weeks and really stressful and I haven't given my tank the care it deserved. My oldest just started school, car troubles you name it and its probably happened. Well I thought everything was getting back to normal with the new uv light I put on the...

Yea I just planted some dwarf hair grass. Gonna see how well it does. Got it free from my buddy at pet smart so win or lose I'm good haha

Hopefully it'll run good for ya. I may end up cheapens out on a few things. Budget getting smaller and smaller lol especially planning a second tank
