Hello from Australia! :)

We are new to here with an addiction to fish! We love different and unique fish. We currently have 2 tanks with a variety of fish. Here's a few photos of our tanks and fish. Our big tank is currently going through its cycle.

Welcome to AA!
Thanks for the pictures.

Welcome aboard. We are glad you found us here at AA.

Thanks for the warm welcomes.. was wondering if anyone has one of those co2 gas cylinders that constantly releases small bubbles of co2 into your water. If so, is there some good advice you guys can give us to get the best results.

Many thanks.

Want to add we have a ISTA Co2 reactor.

 

[Delapool]

Afraid not here - still at the dosing liquid C stage.

 

[kenny69]

For plants? There are loads of diy reactors from memory. YouTube it.

I've installed our new Co2 system. Tell your thoughts guys would love to hear them..

 

[sonjar]

Hey kenny69 this co2 set up if for plants to grow and become really healthy

 

[kenny69]

Just be careful of big PH swings, I looked into all this a few years back when I had planted tanks and from memory PH swings a bit with co2. Lush for plants though, good luck.

How would you stop ph swings? And is there a way you can test for co2? and Kenny lets c your tank bro

 

[kenny69]

Not sure how to stop the ph issue mate just know it happens. I have a 100 gal lake Malawi cichlids tanks.

Beautiful tanks! Lovely colours you got going there. Also doing liquid C at the moment. Was your co2 setup expensive ??

 

[sonjar]

Hey kenny. that's a high ph!?
And how often do you do a water change?, because that's a nice and low nitrate level. My nitrate always sits above 20-30ppm and when it gets to 40ppm I change the water and do a full gravel clean. Ps I'm referring to my little 34l tank because my 120 isn't producing any at the moment because it's not cycled.

Many Thanks.
