not to bad so a pack of cans will last about 3 months. did you have to get an additional bubble counter and check valve?
No actually. I want to get one but haven't gotten them yet.

Scarlet badis will eat shrimplets. They love live food.I don't think I should get cories. They might mess up the carpet of dwarf baby tears. I will most likely get chilis. I just need to know what you guys think: If I have a carpet of dwarf baby tears and a tree of java moss for shrimp to hide in, will the shrimp and shrimplets be safe from a scarlet badis?
Bye bye, tannins! Hello clear water.
It works well but I want to get a new diffuser. One tank lasts about a month.

I'm seriously thinking about nabbing one.

From what I've read, chilli rasboras like softer water with tannins in it. It might not hurt to just let the driftwood leech into the tank and just let water changes keep the level of tannins down.
Discusapisto said:I had that diffuser before it works ok but you deff need pressurized co2 to even get it to diffuse properly.
fort384 said:I keep chilis in only moderately soft water with no tannins. They are active and healthy. They seem to be a very hardy species so long as the water is kept pristine.

EDIT: Here's another diffuser/bubble counter combo that might be better.

One cartridge lasts about a month. I like it but want to get a better diffuser for it.
James_in_MN said:I was looking for an option for my 5.5g tank, so if one of those tanks lasts a month, it looks like it would be $5 per month based on what I've found on Amazon.

That's a bit painful considering that I found 25 pack of 12g CO2 cylinders at Wal-Mart for $15.
Any way to DIY a conversion kit for the Fluval system? The regulator would be nice and compact, but they clearly get you on the refills.
Yeah I found a way to refill it. It's kind of hard to explain, so I will make a diagram soon.
