Well the aqua clear broke when cleaning it for someone. It's done. The satellite is sold.

I have a satellite plus led fixture for sale. 4 months old and perfect condition. I bought a 29 gallon aquarium so I need an upgrade. I have the box and remote. $55 tyd I also have a penguin 150 filter. No bio wheel $10 plus shipping An aqua clear 50. $15 plus shipping

So 20 ml (being my tank is 20 gallon) h2o2 is not too hard on livestock? That's everyday day?

Hey brooks, yea I'm using osmicote tabs. I finished the arduino and it works awesome. It controls both lights at the same time soI may just start using 60% power with 1 less hour. I'll keep experimenting.

I'm using an aquaclear hob. I have the co2 line in the intake of the power head and that chops the bubbles up and spits them out. So put that power head underneath the hob instead of on the opposite side of tank?

I have been changing them together but am going to try alternating.

Once every 7-10 days. As soon as I see the bubble count drop a little.

Well it's hard to tell. Like I said I'm only a week into this. Those plants are only a week old in the tank but if you look at that java moss, it's obliterated already. The Staurogyne repens look awful. I'm wanting advice on how to continue before the tanks a mess. I thought 6 hours of light was...

I forgot to mention that I already do that also. I'm injecting on plants with a syringe every morning.

I have a 20 gallon long with the following plants. 2 appongeton vulvaceous Staurogyne repens Dwarf sag Java fern and moss Red tiger lotus Wisteria I use diy co2 and have increased to 2 two liters reactors. I diffuse with a power head. I also have an hob filter. I use 2 satellite plus led...

Thanks. However I'm done with current and their timers. They misled consumers on their pro timers. They said they'd be compatible, then when the timers came out, there were conflicts with the sat+. Bad deal on their part.

I've been lurking there a while just couldn't pull the trigger. I've decided it's doable and financially reasonable.

Yes the code is already done then you can modify to your lighting needs/schedule. I agree the code was the hard part....the other is just looking at pictures and schematics and soldering. Check out the thread at planted tank. Go to the last posts where I replied.

You asked if I knew how to do it? When I'm done and it works....then I'll tell you the answer. Lolol It seems really simple if you can solder. I'll keep you posted.

Yes. More spread and par. One sat plus on a 20 definitely is not enough to grow what I want but I like the light. I'm going to go ahead and build the arduino for 30 bucks then the light will do everything except make my coffee every morning. Lol

Anyone have Nerite snails?

Do nerite snails have a large bio load? I think I'm going to get some. Do they get out of hand....reproducing wise.....like other pest snails?

Anyone with a satellite plus tell me if 2 fixtures can be controlled by one single ramp timer? I've been told both but I can't figure it out.

Leslie's pool filter sand is what I use and it's awesome. Easy to clean. The sand will not suck up all the way into the siphon. Just run the siphon over the top. If you're going to do plants in the sand, use root tabs. I buy osmicote plus and make fertcicles in an ice tray. Yes the diatom s are...

How many and at what rate per inched per say do you put root tabs in. I use the diy osmicote plus capsules Also are there any carpeting plants that would be particularly better in sand. Gosh I'd love to do hc, but I'm afraid of how it'd do in the sand.

I have a 20 gallon long with sand only. I have a java fern, crypts, water wisteria planted, and some Anubia. I'm wanting to step it up to the next level so am planning to get some dwarf sag, or styrogyne rapens for a carpet. I'll also add other root feeders also. I'm dosing pps ferts and...

Interesting. I'll check that out

I'm dosing diy co2 with pps pro ferts and root tabs. My co2 is rocking it. I never thought a java fern could pearl like it is. Lol. I just need more medium high light plants like some storogyne rapens for a carpet and other cool stuff. My wife's gonna divorce me. Lolol

Being that another sat plus would be equivalent par output, would 2 essentially double my par to the bottom or just illuminate the tank more side to side front to back? Not sure how lights work. If it would double or almost double output to bottom I will deff get another sat. EBay has a sat+...

I currently have a satellite plus led on my 20 gallon long and wanted more light but want to keep the satellite on it. All I need is something that will boost my par in the front of my tank where I want to grow some high light carpet. What are my options being I don't want to replace my sat? I...
