    Ferts

    Well I started with 7ppm of Nitrate, 1ppm of Phosphate, and 8ppm of Potassium Purrbox, thanks for the heads up. Thankfully I walked through the calc. program prior to jumping the gun, and saw that as a drop down option. Took that into consideration. Here it is by weight. Figure I'll try it for...

    Ferts

    So I have Chuck's Calc. and I have GW Ferts. Now I'm looking at the Barr EI and the target levels for the dosing differs from what the suggested is on Chuck's Calc. Chuck is Saying for a 29G 5ppm of Nitrate 1ppm of Phosphate 20ppm of Potassium But Tom Barrs is coming up as 7.9ppm of Nitrate...

    Vortex diffuser?

    Where are you finding the AC 20 or 30? I can't find anything but the 201 or 301.

    Ferts

    DONE! Just ordered my ferts. JRagg~ I have TONS of little bottles. I did the "purchase liquids" for a while. So I have like 12 or so. I figure that is enough for my four tanks. =)

    CO2 Mist or not

    I have converted the bulbs over to a 65 watt CF dual daylight (6.5k,10k). I'm dosing with Florish products right now until my Greg Watson supplies come in. I had been using Excel in the past, until about two weeks ago when the bottle ran out. My Rotla Indica has not grown at all since the excel...

    CO2 Mist or not

    I currently have an Eclipse 3 hood. I need to do CO2 as my plants are looking a little sad, and I'm trying to fight off some algae. My question is what would be best. I'm starting with DYI until I can get the pressurized pieces in next month. What would be the way to go? Reactor? or Misting? Thanks

    A little thing I read about DIY CO2 for planted tanks...

    The only reason to start fresh is so that the "wild" yeasts that are in the air are kept to a minimum. Also all the bacteria that will thrive in that solution and build up over time. You should be able to get away with 10 or so refills before it would start to have "infection" issues. Plus the...

    Bulbs

    I have a tiger lotus that when I move it around the bulb seperated from the plant. Will the plant stay alive? What should I do with the bulb?

    Using Home brew kit to generate CO2?

    The only problem that I could see is the amount of CO2 being produced. In a 2L bottle there isn't enough wort (sugar water mixture) to create copious amounts of CO2. If you are planning on a 5 gallon batch (average homebrew size), a little air line would cause the top of the bucket to become...

    Planning

    Okay I'm starting the planning stages of my wall tank(s). I have a 10 ft wall that will accommodate three tanks. Two 29L and a 60. I'm trying to plan the lighting on these tanks. I was looking at ahsupply for their 2 x 55w kits for the 29L's and the 4 x 55w for the 60. This I believe will put me...

    Java Fern

    Thanks! They have tons of roots coming off right now. They have been like this for 3 weeks. I think I'll pick some off tonight and replant in my 30 gallon.

    Java Fern

    My java fern is starting to throw shoots off the leaves. It's the weirdest thing I have ever seen. Is this normal? I'll take some pics when I get home tonight.

    Bitten by the bug

    Yeah, I'm definately going with a pressurized system for CO2. 7Enigma~ I'm really just wanting to use the "filter" system in the back of the tank. I'll take some pics and post them. The tank is more for a SW system with all the chambers and what not. I've pretty much spec'd out all the parts...

    Bitten by the bug

    Okay so I just scored a 60 gallon Clear for Life acrylic tank. It has all the chambers in the back and a pump built in. I've been reading all the posts on here and have been searching the web for more info. Yet I have a few questions. I also have a 29 gallon Eclipse that I have setup for low...
