Hi all, This could have also gone in the filter section as well so tossed a coin and posted it in here :) I've struggled for some time with getting decent CO2 distribution and plant growth but having moved house and broke my old T8 lumaire in the move, I've done a bit of upgrading. Now its...

Hi All, I have 180l tank with an Eheim Pro 3 2028... lots of flow! I'm currently using a 3 year old Up aqua Super Atomizer. I cant seem to find any links for these any more so assume they are end of life. A similar looking one is here...

Hello All, Can anyone recommend a variable pressure CO2 regulator which will allow me to up the working pressure of the reg? Mine seems to be a fixed one and I'm not getting quite enough pressure at 1.9 bar for my UP atomizer to work well enough to almost OD on the CO2. All help appreciated.

Hi All, I'm wondering if i can change the working pressure of the aquatic magic regulators that they sell on ebay? I'm using mine with an UP CO2 Atomizer but, while its working, i think i've hit the wall in regards to how much gas is released. I've got the needle valve fully open and I'm...

Hello All, I have been using an imported regulator from Hong Kong (off eBay) and its now got a problem. The problem is that the bubble counter which it came with has broken. This screwed on top of the co2 outlet and the problem is that its not a UK standard thread. If I now try and screw on the...

Hi guys, I posted this in the filters section but didnt get much of a response. I need a relativly quick answer so I can place an order for the correct equipment. Hope the mods don't mind! Im getting a second filter to up my filtration and flow rate. My existing one is about 1000 lph and the...

Guys, I've lost pard of my CO2 regulator. The screw sleve type thing which you slide over the CO2 tubing that you then screw to the main body of the regulator to stop it leaking - is the bit i've lost. Do you know where i can get another?? Lee

Hi guys, I'm interested to know how much of each solution you put in your drop checkers as you woudl get different results dependant on how much you add in. For example, say you add 2ml of 4kh solution and 6 drops of ph reagent, this would give a darker and more fuller colour than say adding...

Hi Guys, I'm so disapointed its untrue and i'mreally starting to think about giving this up. OK so heres the kit list: Eheim pro 2 external filter 180l tank Rhynox 3000 diffuser Originally I had a aquamas external inline reactor and have never been able to get anywhere near the 30ppm needed...

Hi Guys, I've got an observation which has me curious. I moved my drop checker to the other side of the tank the other day as its easier to read. I have 2 filters. 1 eheim internal and the built in juwel filter running. The internal is fitted to the right side of the tank blowing directly...

Hi Guys, I've had it with my aquamas inline reactor as it appears i dont have enough flow from my filter to power this big thing to its potential. As a consiquence I cant get my levels of CO2 anywhere near to the point where fish would be gasping at the surface which I've done so many times...

Hi guys, I came hope the other day after upping my CO2 slightly and noticed that the inline reactor (the one i posted on previous threads) was about half full of gas. With previous reactors i've easily been able to kill fish with CO2 injection but with this one I seem to struggle to get co2 to...

Hi Guys, as you can see form my other thread, I bought the aquatic magic regulator but now its arrived i can see its very different to my JBL one and not too sure if its right! Here's an image: You can see here that there is no 'o' ring and the only seal is a hard plastic ring that sits...

Hi Guys, Does anyone have any thought on this regulator from ebay? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Brand-New-CO2-Reg ... m153.l1262 I'm not that experienced with them and i currently use a JBL jobbie. Lees

Hi Guys, Picked up a pretty good deal on a nano with overhead luminair containing a T5PC for £50 at a local pet store. I'm wondering what the best method for CO would be as well as being the best value for money. I'm certainly not into spending 50 quid for one but notice AE do a couple for...

Any ideas on what I can do about this? Is ther an adaptor or something i can do? The screw on sleve fits fine but the bit that actually inserts into the bottle is very slightly too large. Any ideas? I didnt realise the JBL regulator would be any different to a standard regulator. LEe

Firstly, here's my hardware: The CO2 reactor: The filter: It appears that I could be wasting a lot of CO2 using my current configuration as I'm getting gas spurts coming out the filter outlet. The reactor is advertised as being suitable up to 1000 liters and I'm using it on a 180 liter so...

HI Guys, I'm thinking of going down the fire extinguisher route as its such a pain having to get my bottle sent off every couple of months. Does anyone know if my reactor from a proflora set 2 would work on a fire extinguisher? Also, does anyone have any suggestions of where to get the fire...

Hi Guys, My problems are well documented but I'm not sure what people exactly mean when they talk about stable CO2. Are we talking about having the tank at a target CO2 level at lights on and then maintaining it all day? Are we talking about lights and co2 coming on and then the CO2 gradually...

Hi Guys, I'm curious as to what other people do with their CO2 overnight and the morning. I currently switch CO2 off overnight using a timer and then it comes back on when the lights do. This gives a certain amount of time (not sure how long as i haven't timed it) to reach optimal CO2 levels...
