Hello, I've recently switched over to the GLA inline Diffuser, does anyone know if there is a better or worse way to install it?, Currently If you are familiar with the Diffuser, I have it inline on the outlet side, with the CO2 towards the back, I've seen several youtube vids and they...

I don't believe the weights are actually lead, they are a combo of 2 other pliable metals that are supposed to beneficial to plants. However, I ordered some from one of the online plants sellers and they were called plant weights, they damaged the stalks any of the plants I used them on. I tried...

People can also survive in a ghetto, in the jungle, in a desert, in cold regions, in extreme temps up and down, on very little food and water, to sustain life, but that does not mean it's the best environment. Keep in mind, that the majority of people doing this are doing it as hobbyists, and...

I do a little custom bike painting for fun, The above method will work, but unless you really know what you are doing, or willing to risk an "oops", Even a Cotton ball will create enough friction to damage glass, I'd highly recommend, the Vinegar and elbow grease method. If you cannot get it off...

There are much cheaper alternatives, but my schedule changes a lot and I want to keep things consistent for the tanks, plus, this one has a battery back up so for me, yes. both easier and worth it. The mechanical ones work fine too, but I've found them to need constant adjusting, I had an...

I'm sure everyone has different setups depending on their equipment, but I have the Digital one pictured below on one of my setups. For my Planted tank, the timer is built into the light. Coralife Power Center

I Put everything on a multi-strip and just kill the single switch, this way you cannot forget just one component.

You want it to be Zero, but .025 is not emergency levels. Keep Monitoring as others have said, and if still elevated, keep doing PWC, the tank you thought cycled for 2 weeks probably wasn't actually cycled to begin with, you may have had a false negative...it happens. Always shake your test...

Sorry, The fact is, with higher output animals, a rated filter system will not keep up with their waste as well as a heavily stocked tank, most people who know what they are doing, are looking for 5 times turnover on a tank. Minimum. The amount of filtration also has nothing to do with how fast...

I think your fine as long as you keep the obsessions in that order ;-) I'm a little weirded out by the "The Strange obsession with the ram and filter" I must confess, but hey, I was born is the 60's so, I'm a firm believer in if it does not infringe on anyone else's rights (Including the Ram)...

and I know I said after two weeks but they really never are right from the beginning.

Billy, I may not have been clear, I apologize, This is right out of the box... First one I thought was just defective, next one same thing. It's doing the job but in the larger bubble form, they rise fast and break the surface, the smaller ones dissolve before reaching the surface so...

The Atomic line? Or the Cal Aqua? I really like the Cal Aqua Glass apparatus, but that line is I believe, only inline, and I do actually like seeing the Co2 flowing. If it's the Atomic line, What size would you suggest for a 55 Gallon? And thanks for the replies.
