I'll keep this nice and simple, I've got some BGA that I can see spreading under the substrate. I was wondering if it would be safe to inject it into the BGA spots in the substrate? I'm guessing it would still turn to O2 and be fine but I thought I would check [emoji106] I need it all cleared...

So ages ago my other half decided she would save the gold fish from the pond out the front of our house (rental). The pond was thick with hair algae and the water was a nice shade of green. I came home from work and she demanded we set up the spare 55 to house them. So the 55 got setup and has...

Hey guys I've been using diy co2 but it's just not good enough for my lighting and fert dosing, going through a full batch of bicarb/citric acid a week or less. Beginning to become expensive in the long run. I've been looking into pressurised and I can get a 2kg cylinder for $180aus. So I've...
