    HELP! CO2 (90gal aquarium)

    It has a reactor that I connect differently to my canister. No needle valve. It has a second psi gauge to change bubble size. The solenoid has a timer. You can go from 10sec a bubble to .1 sec a bubble. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    New Giesmann T5s are awesome

    The new Super Flora and Tropic bulbs are awesome. The old Aqua Flora and Midday were great but I truly love these new bulbs. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    HELP! CO2 (90gal aquarium)

    I've had no problems. But I just realized that I've added a Fluval Surface Skimmer and it's probably off gasing the CO2 faster than it can keep up. I've just shut if off and now waiting to see if I can get things back to normal. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Which of these plants could work?

    You can acclimate Vals to liquid carbon. Start with 1/4- 1/2 the dose. Over time the Vals will acclimate.

    Aquarium glue

    Tweezers are a must. Lol. The good thing is that you don't get strays floating away. When using fish line you always get stragglers. Looks good!
