My Fishless Cycle...

Are you saying to use the bubble wand to diffuse the CO2? That will work.

EXACTLY what I meant! LOL!

Lol. We are finally n the same page. That will work. DIY CO2 is easy to make but once you set it up it is a little complicated. I'll get a drop checker to successfully measure how much CO2 you have in the tank. With the DIY, CO2 fluctuates. If you cannot keep the CO2 at 30ppm it is better to not have it. Anything lower than 30ppm and higher than 7ppm is algae heaven.

Let's all get along and celebrate that we killed Bin Laden. Put in perspective, the co2 level for our plants seems kind of minor after watching the news, lol.

OK for S & G's explain to me how I would do this and regulate the CO2. Are you saying to run a hose from injector to wand and then the bubbles would be CO?

So know my question is will there be enough Oxygen in tank once plants and fish are in there?

Now my eyes are spinning opposite!! LOL

Usually when people use DIY CO2 they run an aerator during "lights off" because plants During lights off takes in oxygen and the waste is CO2. Plus the DIY CO2=too much CO2. The aerator will help oxygenize the water during lights off.

For how to build a DIY CO2 check the link above fishman13 posted^^^^

So what he could do is unplug the hose from the CO2 to the tank at night. Also there is no link.

I'm on my iPhone the whole time. I bet it's a lot better with your iPad. Lol.

Ok can you shoot me a link to read on this. If I went to the LFS with this they would probably not be of much help!!

I'd rather get a timer for the air pump. Set it to turn on when the lights turn off.

Ok... as far as CO2 and bubble wands, I will weigh in since asked... everything Roy said is correct.

However... running a DIY CO2 system on a 90gal tank would be an exercise in futility. If you are going to run CO2 on a 90 gal tank, it will need to be a pressurized system.

So basically what i said is all wrong?
