Co2 is going in the tank with this. . So will this work in the sump or do I need something else. And I have been adding the pps pro fert from green leaf aquatics

Yes i have a refugium sump..I have already gotten rid of the surface movement what else can b done to decrease the o2

Ok so I have been doing everything that has been mentioned here the past few weeks with no success. Is my whole problem that I have a refugium and I just have too much o2 in the water? Would I be way better off just getting a canister?

Alright sounds good I will start doing more changes and feed less

Even for the discus? Feeding wise. I feed them frozen bloodworms in the morning and then frozen brine shrimp in afternoon. Then have an auto feeder that feeds dry food twice a day and really never have food that stays on the bottom for more that 30 min. It all gets eaten

Alright.. So having it that high, is it hurting anything?

I feed frozen food twice a day and some flakes twice a day. And the food never really makes it to the bottom, and what does gets eaten by the Cory cats and the Algae eater that is too big and doesent really eat algae anymore.

What has to b done to lower it?

I have upped the co2 to about 5 bps and still got no change in the drop checker and the fish still seemed fine.. Should I up it more? And just keep going till it changes or the fish start heading to the top

hes not that big only maybe 2-3 in long. ill look into the snails

lol alright but i dont think the snails will b ok in my tank bc i have a loach, they eat them right? and i think the co2 diffuser that i have is doing ok. it has a powerhead that stirs the co2 in the tube and doesent let the big bubbles escape bc they float to the top of the power head. i only...

3 amazon swords, and 24 of the dwarf and normal grass looking plants. and i have some more plants on the way bc i was told i needed more of a plant load in the tank. i have 1 amazon sword, 2 rangeri sword, 1 red melon sword, 3 narrow leaf chain swords, 4 micro swords, 1 green myrio, and 1 baby...

And I don't think my tank is under stocked, I have 10 3-4 in discus, 25 neons, 3 Cory cats, clownloach, and 3 angles.

I'm in Texas

I don't have a Ton of Algae but I do have some green algae on my driftwood and I get some build up on the glass every 3-4 days that I have to clean. But I don't think it's too bad

I have a refugium and I do have some surface movement. I have 2 of the 4 out pipes half submerged bc if power goes out it will pull in air and not drain the tank and over flow the refugium. I could possibly get a valve and reduce the water flow if needed. I went ahead and got the 30$ package of...

I do follow the directions on the test. I rinse out the tube with tank water then shake the 2 bottles for 30 sec then add the drops, and shake the tube for 30 more secs. If my drop checker is reading only blue all the time that means there's not enough co2 right, so how much at a time should I...

What do you mean?

Ok thanks a lot ill check out those ferts

ok i already set the lights for 6hrs, and i have been adding ferts, i add api leaf zone once a week and i have added root tabs last week. i have a drop checker but it is always blue it never reads green. and i will pick up those test kits tomorrow.

co2 comes on 30 min b4 lights and stops when lights do. yes all on timers.

I have an api master freshwater test kit. and they read almost 0 but it has a hit of orange. and it is a 140gal with a 20gal refugium.

Nitrate 2ppm, nitrites 0ppm, ammonia 0ppm, and i dont have a test kit for kh/gh or phosphate. is that something that i should have? i vacuum and do water changes about once every 2 weeks, about a 35% change. and i have an auto fill system that adds about 5 gallons every 2-3 days as water...

I have just started a planted tank about 2 months ago. i planed amazon swords and some dwarf and tall grass looking plants(forgot the name) last week i added a Co2 system and am putting 4 bps in while the lights are on. running lights 10 hrs a day. i have been adding api leaf zone once a week...
