That’s not what I was asking but yeah every water change makes sense. This Friday I’m gonna go pick up a bunch of anubias for fun from the pet store, I got like 5 small ones on a big piece of driftwood in my tank and I love it so I’ll probably go get 5 more. And regular superglue works for...
Well I was gonna ask you what you thought would be a good choice for a regulator, for all I know any of them for around that $250 range would be good. And for as far as the T5 I’d say whatever works right, all it’s gotta do is make light haha like really there isn’t a lot to be said about that...
So I stopped into this one pet store today and the owner knows a lot about his fish, plants lighting and everything there is to know. He’s a smart guy but he was making fishkeeping out to be all in it all out. For this co2 project I’m attempting I am not going to cheap out on my hardware I’m...
Sounds good, what if I ran an Ehiem 2217 and my Fluval 305 that I currently have(not running). That would be 560gph combined. I’d run a slimmer on one and a regular intake on the one. And would you recommend inline co2 injection or using a diffuser
Yeah, I think I’ll get all the supplies that I’ll need as best as I can and when I’m well and ready to actually setup I’ll make the decision if I want a different tank or not. And I was lookin at an Ehiem 2217 for a filter with some seachem matrix and seachem puragin for media
Well my tank is 48” long, 23” high, and 12” deep
The 75 long tanks are 48” long, 21”high, and 18” deep
So you’re getting an extra 6” on the bottom for more planting area and lighting area from front to back
True, I like to be on top of my tank maintenance and I have been. Weekly water changes and I dose my liquid ferts properly and I wanna take it to the next level that’s why I’m starting this project, I want to perfect the art of freshwater tanks but there are a lot of things that I need to learn...
Well that gives me a pretty simple way to go about doing it, but how do you measure the amount of water taken out for a water change? And then how would you figure out the amount of CaS04, KHC03, MgS04, and minerals to use in said amount of water.
Ok so aside from all this, let’s say I get my water perfected, I would have to do this before I add plants right? Because what’s the point of having my plants all die If my water isn’t right. I’d have to have it cycled for 3 weeks obviously while getting the water parameters up to par then drain...
Pretty sure that was in the article that Autumnsky posted, but yes dually notes. I’m also studying this article at the moment it’s very helpful https://buceplant.com/blogs/news/understanding-water-parameters-in-your-planted-tank
I do not know, but I’ll be finding all this out soon, I just ordered test kits on amazon just now. Setting this up is going to be a very long process. Wow
Alright thanks a lot, also for my c02 setup I need to know how bubble counting works and how many bubbles per sec/min. I know that I need to start out very slow and turn it up very little over time until I find out what works best but what’s the average bubble count
