Man 30searay I loved your jungle looking tank. It's a shame the Vals had to go, but I am curious to see what your tank looks like now :)

Heh I guess we'll see as this dosing scheme is fairly new to me for now ;) I am glad you made mention of this as now I will be looking out for signs of Potassium deficiency as my tank progresses. Once I get the general dosing scheme down, I'll eventually venture into better aquascaping for...

Taking a guess that this has been mentioned but none of the Resources Links in the sticky work. Not sure if it's just me or not?

Hi Purrbox - When you mentioned what Traces I was dosing I assumed my Flourish was it, and I did write down the wrong thing. I just have Floruish... NOT Excel, my mistake. Is Flourish not traces either? If it isn't.. what do you suggest? Another mistake I posted was that I dosed twice a week...

I forgot to mention that I have a 12-inch vent fan (As you can see in the pics). Great little doo-hickey for cooling a tank and gas exchange. I do have a few questions for you guys: - I am fairly new to CO2, it is on during the day only, but every morning even after an hour or so of being...

It's been a while since I've been here. I used to have a 10 gallon planted with the works, but then moved on to Saltwater and reef keeping.. in the days before this site got into that sector of this hobby. Fast forward since that time: I spent about 3 years reef keeping, then moved.. gave...

Thanks everyone. I am really excited as I made the order and can't wait to get it in. Over all the tank is still fairly new and I pulled a newb move by sticking plants and fish in a bit sooner than supposed. The fish and plants look healthy I just have a minor algae bloom, so I do the necessary...

Well I figure it to be poor math but I thought a 20 oz tank could do about a month or so if a 5lb tank could do about 5-6 months. I also figured From what I have read a lot of people seem to be happy with the milwaukee's set. I don't mean to be cynical but more people tend to post (In a forum)...

Heh, it was a nice try though ;) - It shouldn't be a problem anyway considering where I live... :) Thank you!

I have recently come back to Freshwater Planted (from having a reef aquarium for a couple years). I was browsing around this forum and ran into a pressurized CO2 topic. I was considering going DIY yeast again, but am aiming for consistency ;) I am considering getting the Milwaukee set up...

So I am trying to set up a VHO set up for a friend but this is the first time I am doing it. I followed the ARO ballast diagram but it isn't lighting. My question is this: In one light bulb are the end caps the same or is there one type on one end and a different type on another? He as two...

So it just occurred to me as I am setting up my aquarium that my lighting isn't nearly as powerful as what I had for my reef aquarium (halide with T5's). I am using 2 X 95 watt VHO's. I have this vent fan I used to use and began adding it as part of my set up (A bit complicated) but am wondering...

That's a shame.. it doesn't work anymore.. oh well

Hey by chance do you remember what the coupon code was (if it was a code)? Petsmart isn't showing it...?

I see it's been a while since the last post was done but I was wondering how well this unit worked out for you or anyone else who made one? I like the idea a lot and plan on building one myself, and inline it to a XP3 filter. Towards the end of the unit (Where the water exits) I was thinking...

Dang... I am used to minimum of 10x often approaching 25x when I had a reef tank... nice to come back to freshwater ;) - I ordered my light parts that I was missing... thus far I am going to have a 2x95 watt VHO's and both tubes being 10K Aquasuns from URI. It gives me about 5 watts, and in...

Ha.. I didn't think of that, sounds like a good idea! My only question to that would be whether the AC500 would be enough water movement for my tank?
