Hello all, Ive been running low tech for a while, and a little apprehensive to plunge into the depths CO2. I've done research and finally feel ready to dive into Co2. I am curious as to what the members of this forum regard as the best quality Co2 parts and accessories. Also, with running...

Yes, Eco capped with sand. The sand is pool filter sand.

No. Just Eco and sand.

Well I know it's not June, but I finally got it going again. Working on cycling without fish. The nitrites are over 5 and the nitrates are around 30. So far so good ?

Yeah true haha

Hi all, Is plexiglass safe for aquarium use? I am looking to make some raised areas in my tank. I'm thinking about gluing plexiglass to egg crate if it is safe to use. Thanks in advance!

Thanks!

Ok, thanks. I will be doing a fishless cycle. I'm really eager to get this started. All my equipment arrived yesterday. I still have to order the ferts and plants, but still have a few more weeks till I can get everything set up. I'm probably going to fill/drain the tank a few times to get...

Another question I have, is if I'm following the pps-pro fert method, and I start dosing while I'm cycling the tank, am I to do the water changes that are suppose to be done while I'm cycling the tank?

I am a big fan of ChemiPure and with the AC filters I have no trouble fitting it in. I wonder with the C series if a bag of that would fit? If I were to add purigen, the pre-bagged stuff, it that would fit too. I only use purigen if there is tannins in the water. I'm not sure I would use it as...

That worked. I wish I saw that before... Lol I just ordered my equipment today. I guess if I see one in a store I'll pick it up

That looks like a link for fert talk

Well I hear ya on the some plants don't do well.. I can't grow jungle val. Lol

Do you think my plant selection will do fine with no CO2 and the light I have?

Hi Everyone, I have asked some questions recently on here about equipment. I have gotten that all figured out. I have also asked question about fertilizers. I think I have gotten that figured out as well. I hope with the addition of regular fert dosing I will be able to dive into some...

Thanks for the reply. That's why I was asking about conflicting currents. So I think I'll stick with a AC50 on the side.

Hi everyone! I have already asked opinions on HOB filter vs a canister filter for a 20long. I have decided to go with an AC50. I am going to position it on the side of the aquarium to try and get more flow through the length of the tank, rather than positioning it on the back and have it...

Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking about the C3. I think they could have built a little better Aquaclear. I'm just looking at all the possibilities for a filter lol.

Hello all, I was browsing the interwebs for filters and I found the Fluval C3. I'm very familiar with the Aquaclear 50. I'm looking for opinions on the C3. From the pictures, it doesn't look like like there is much room for a bag of Chemipure and/or a bag of Purigen. I'm also curious as too if...

Thanks!

Thanks!

Lol yeah, the surface skimmer is a question mark for me too. But the Italians, build Ferrari's so maybe this is a Ferrari of HOB filters Haha. I was going to pick up an AC50 for my 20 gallon I'm going to start, but I might give this a try. Hope it works cuz it's quite a bit more monies.

Hello Everyone, I was browsing the interwebs for filters. I came across a Seachem Tidal filter. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these filters. I have no idea if they are new to the market or not. I am curious as to how they compare to the AquaClear HOB filters. What...

I was reading the dosing instructions on green Leaf's website and they say to use distilled water or RO water. Is that just for mixing? Since they are saying to use that kind of water, does that mean that I should not use my house water to mix the fertilizer?

Haha thats a good idea. Be a great way to water a garden!
