Aquarium Advice Addict
Thanks to a member generously offering their regulator for a very good price I think I want to try CO2, but I have never done this before.
The regulator is an aquatek mini. I'm planning on using paintball CO2 canisters. I know I need a drop checker and some kind of diffuser. Do I need anything else?
The tank is a 55 gallon with a Beamswork Razor LED estimated at about 40 par at substrate level. Plants are currently a lot of jungle vals and some bacopa and a dwarf chain sword. I plan on adding some other plants, probably some amazon swords in particular and some sort of carpet plant. The tank has root tabs and is fertilized with Seachem Flourish and API Leaf Zone.
My tap water is very soft- around KH of 3. So do I need to buffer the water to be able to add an appropriate amount of CO2?
