I am just trying to design a multifunctional aquarium filtration system as described below. Can you make any comments that n how you feel about it. Also any suggestions to include any more systems and improvement. This is still in the design stage and will have to actually check how it operates...

I have question regarding co2 injection timing. I have chemical DIY co2 system, citric acid and soda bicarb. Co2 is diffuser is ceramic disc type. To dissolve the maximum co2 in the water can I leave it on whole day and night. -OR- leave it on few hours before the lights come on. The co2 tries...

Do not actually know my parameters. I don't have test kit. Have co2 running DIY yeast type. Also I add PPS pro dry fertilizer but only adding potassium nitrate and potassium sulphate, but not the mono potassium phosphate so as to avoid adding phosphate to control algae. I have lot many plants...

i have green hair algae in my tank and its very bad. My tank is medium planted tank. i have reduced the lighting also. I have used "algaefix" yesterday and still cannot see the algae reducing. The water has turned a bit cloudy now. How much time will it take for algae to die and go away

I want to control algae as it is increasing now. so i wanted to place the light in the tank near the outlet of the filter,where the water is flowing and it will be exposed to the UV light. now this UV light if exposed to the fish will be dangerous i suppose. so can i put it inside a tube. any...

I was searching for an affordable UV light on internet and came across this uv light. this light is a simple type. Does anyone have any advice on how do i place the light in tank. I cannot place this light in my DIY canister filter as its too long. I know that UV light is dangerous to the fish...

From my first impression, i think the light is very less. the CFL bulbs do not give sufficient light. well why don't you use the 4 feet tubelights which are locally available. you must use 2 tubelights of 4 feet long.

Thanks for reply, so I think it would not matter much. But it can be used to add phosphate. In pps pro method the mono potassium phosphate is used in very small quantities as compared to potassium nitrate and potassium sulphate. so very less of ammonia would be present Sent from my GT-I9500...

I have got all the dry fertilisers for PPS PRO method. but I have got mono ammonium phosphate instead of mono potassium phosphate as it was not avaliable where I live. hence can I use this mono ammonium phosphate instead of mono potassium phosphate,,, will that have any ill effects on...

I am planning to make a diy light for 70 gallons planted tank. I just got a COB led of 5 watts. how many of these COB leds I have to use to give enough brightness for the tank. Has anyone used these type of led for the planted tank. Sent from my GT-I9500 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
