Finally a real CO2 setup

[nevets]

I ordered the Aquatek mini regulator just after new years and got it a few days later. So I sacked my DIY system cause it would clog the diffuser and I saw slime around the tank.
For 100$ I got the Aquatek mini, bubble counter and co2 tubing. 25$ empire paint ball tank, 11$ fluval drop checker and 5$ fluval diffuser

In less than a week my moss grew like crazy and the Narrow Leaf Ludwigia went nuts with stems and roots growing everywhere.

I think I'm gonna get rid of the moss and get some other plants cause its just too much.

My LFS has plants 3 for 10$ but no names and never know which to get. Anyways I'm gonna figure something out and update

Congrats on the new co2 setup. I have this aquatek mini myself and it works great for the value.

Awesome man, welcome to the dark side (pressurized). I was super excited when I hooked mine e up and smile every time I see bubbles in the bubble counter. Can you list your tank specs...I like to know what everyone's running?

You might want to start thinking about ferts now. With co2 use the plants really suck up nutrients

Its a 5 gallon, 14" x 8" x 8" with a 15w life glo CFL, sponge filter with whisper quiet pump, marina mini 50w heater set to 78°, fluval drop checker and diffuser, aqautek mini and bubble counter with 12oz tank. Lights are on for 10 hours and co2 on for 8. I dose with flourish twice a week. I'll probably end up rescaping soon when my lfs has the right plants, i don't like the moss and one plant didnt do well before the co2
