Hey! A few months back I set up diy CO2 on my ninety gal. (Now there's a lot of brew 8O )It was all going nicely then I went away for a week with work and my power head on the "diffuser" got an air lock. By the time I got back, it was an algae garden. (Which my wife thought looked nice!) All...

Will a submersible light benefit plants? Im looking at sticking in a 30w Halogen in the back of the tank for cosmetic reasons as I am already running 2.4 wpg of NO, but was not sure if this submersible would figure into the wpg equation

I read in another thread that, depending on what is present in your aquarium, (ie: natural buffers like rocks that leak calcium, which I have) the readings you get for ph and Kh may not give a true indication of CO2 levels. It was suggested that you remove a small amount of water and leave it...

Sorry guys, Im a little bit obsessed by the CO2 thing at the moment! I ask this question because my DIY reactor releases these tiny bubbles and no amount of re-configuring seems to help. Out of interest, I put my indicator directly in the stream of the escaping bublets and it went from...

Hey! I bought a bunch of clownies a while back and one of them, though showing healthy behavior, did not grow and was lacking in color. Also, although he ate, he always looked emancipated. Then I noticed his waste was white and knew he had some kind of worm. I looked at treatments and they all...

Can any one shed light on this for me? My flyingfox was healthy as all get up....hour later, he was dead. I watched it, he literally just stoped living! I have just added Co2 and he ate all the algae about 3 days ago and it did not grow back, so I jokingly thought he had taken "the" pill! ...

My silver dollars have been doing some prunning in my tank. They have decimated my val and giant val and have now moved on to my fox tail. I wanted to ask if any one knew of a tall, background plant that would not be eaten by them?

After setting up a DIY system with a "reactor" inside the tank, I noticed very tiny bubbles still escaping. These mostly would be caught by the pump head and sent through again but out of interest I rigged up a "bell" just above the outlet to catch them. After an hour or so, it was amazing to...

Been running for 6mths. Need more light tho!

Hey! I was just wondering if when people talk about wpg whether they mean input or output wattage? What would be an ideal lighting rig for a large (90 - 100g) planted tank? I ask this because going by the watts printed on the side of the tubes, it would be impossible to get even two watts a...

The situation...Been keeping planted tanks for some time with the use of nutrients/trace elements and good light with reasonable success. Recently I decided to try DIY Co2 on my 90ish gallon tank, knowing that it would have to be a pretty special unit if it was to supply a tank this big. So, off...
