30.00 diffuser....no thanks lol

I found the same one i think for 10 dollars

Surface agitation is still very much necessary when adding co2.

Also pay attention to the required working pressure needed to operate the diffuser at it optimal level.

So i need to remove the bubbler? I need to setup some bottles for the diy co2

Bubbler goes away. Your trying to hold as much co2-in the tank.

Got it! Should i add more plants?

Up to you can't have too many.

My rule is if you can see substrate you need more lol

I beg to differ. Actually, I was either returning from vacation or getting ready for auction. A good trim got things back in order.

Agreed.. I don't mind it.

I get it. I enjoy that as much as your formal scape. Too me its just as impressive. Obviously I dont have a style lol nor the skill probably to pull one off. Whether its in a tank or in a landscape I like plants to look more how we would see them in nature. As in ...not all perfect and tidy. But I love looking at the formal scapes in pictures and such. Too each there own lol

I certainly value any and all contributions you make as most do.

Wow thats awesome! I am trying to cover up as much substrate as possible and also produce shade for my fish. I got more plants

 

[Mark_the_shark]

Tanks doing great! Just one thing. Some of my plants are turning brown and decomposing. My fish are fine though. Anything I can do for my plants?
