So just adjust the bubble counter accordingly [emoji6] Enviado do meu SM-G930F através de Tapatalk

Yes they say 40 psi that is about 2.5 bar but it's too much pressure for the plastic housing to handle... Try 1.5 Bar. Should be fine... Enviado do meu SM-G930F através de Tapatalk

You don't need 3 Bar to make it work. I have mine working with just 1.5 Bar with no problem. 3 bar will crack the diffuser housing. I've been a beta tester of this for co2art. Enviado do meu SM-G930F através de Tapatalk

The leds are a good saving on the end of the month but what about the reliability? Does the led chips stands for 5 years? 10 years? Neither the aquasky, chihiros and similar were out there time enough to insure that they last year's without burning this or that. This is my major concern about...

I start a few months back with just 2 T5, about 0.78w/L All grow well, the monte Carlo carpet good but i didnt have the reds that i want... So, i put 2 more T5. The change from 2 to 4 lamps was on the same day. No Algae booms, no this or that like i used to read about. My photoperiod starts...

I dont believe that we will get it first but here is the code of it to easy reference: EAN CODE: 4014162633415 for the 19/25 version

Ended using bleach like i used to... No bleach in the atomizer chamber so... Thanks all I was make it more complicated than it was. So say my ex wife... :-D Luís Batista Sent from my Nokia 3310!

I use bleach to clean the UP version, that you can open, but with this one problably its not the best option because the bleach could soak and pass trow the ceramic, to the inside of the atomizer body. I read about using vinigar, that the acid is good for it. Luís Batista Sent from my Nokia...

I already order one but it even not avaiable in Portugal yet. When you get yours, please give some feedback. Im using some inline atomizers from UP and Intense but this seems to be another level of quality Luís Batista Sent from my Nokia 3310!

hi I have been using the new Up atomizers for more than a year. The new version you can open it to take off the ceramic to clean. No problem here. But i try a Intense one, that is closed.You cant open it... So, how do i clean the ceramic? Simple scrubbing dont do the job. Have to be to...

this section of the carpet have about 18 months. i keep it not to thick but after a year and a half the roots started to root and here it goes to the surface :) i m getting the necessary courage to start this section from scratch... thanks all

There is any way to save this part of the carpet? Any mean to hold it down and not to have to start again? Luís Batista Sent from my Nokia 3310!

so, what is the GH? I never use liquid gh test, just test strips. Seeing the KH, you may have something in the tank that raises KH. May be some stones, seriyu stone or something like that?

Mines are all red. Thats normal... Cumprimentos, Luís Batista Sent from my Nokia 3310!

Yes the GH from tap water is lower at the end of the week. Plants consume the calcium and magnesium in it. My tap water is almost RO so i have to dose it both. I start with about 6º dGH and by the end of the week have LEDs than 3 ºdGH If you can manage that, teste it just to eliminate variables...

What is your GH? Cumprimentos, Luís Batista Sent from my Nokia 3310!

Agree. The circulation of course that is important to deliver the co2 and the nutrients to the plants. But what i saw, in my tank, in my experience, was that you dont need half the crap that you sometimes read about. Good and complete light, stable co2 and ferts is all you need to grow plants...

No, i read it all and at start, i lost time and effort fighting with in tank circulation, even with the diameter of the total of the holes of the spraybar. You may not belive but theres a equation for that :) just keep it simple, i say :thumbup:

Manage a planted tank is not rocket science, it more simple that some say... I used to have just 2 T5 and when i was thinking on get another 2, some people say that with 4 T5 the fixture have to be 20 or 30cm from the top of the tank, that it will be algae all over the place, bla, bla, bla...

the tank is 100cm and the bulbs are 39w, that have 84,9CM, so is option C. Its 2 osram lumillux 865, 1 silvannia aquastar and a silvania grolux here is a pic:

Thanks, i´m doing my best... Yes im using Akadama. This setup have now about 17 months. The monte carlo once established grows well even in shade, of course more slow than in light but still grows... Aquatools calculator is a kind of low target E.I... It recommend less that the tipical dosage.

i dont change anything but to start dosing a diy gh booster and start to see better grow in 2 weeks. Here is my dosing: Micros about 1ppm Fe weekly

i just put the nozzle from back to front glass to make the circulation different and here is the results:

that Solenoid looks amazing, great clean look on all the regulator parts!

Thanks Darrel! I have access to a pharmaceutical grade scale and wish I could do an even smaller solution. So, if : 12g in 100L gives 100L of 4dKH solution 0,06g in 0,5L gives 500ml of 4dKH solution 0,012g in 0,1L gives 100ml of 4dKH solution That´s about right, yes? Once again, Thank You...

as far i can tell, it doesnt snapped yet... maybe with the more sturdy material of the whole body, this can be avoided... Let´s see... indeed, thats the only thing that i dont like on this atomizer but with the solution provided by Co2art, that extension adapter for splitters, this is easily...

Once again, thanks Ceg already order a PH Pen from Ebay, with 2 calibration solutions. What will be the best times to check the ph to make a decent profile? My Co2 turns on at 7 am and the lights at 9 am. then the co2 turns off at 6 pm and the lights at 7 pm

Like you recommend on another topic, i already try a spraybar along the back wall, about 90cm long pointting to the front glass but then, never could use the circulation pump right. If i turn the pump, it messes all the flow inside the tank... Now i mount a wide nozzle on the filter outlet...

In my case i think that the best holes will be between 2mm and 4mm, 3 or 3.5mm. With 2mm have a good water pressure but reduced flow. Now with 4mm almost dont have any pressure, the first hole dont have any pressure, the water pass trow it and dont exit. Tomorow will do another spray pipe with...

Its better to let it be with 9 holes and just make them 4mm or stay with the 2mm ones and drill another 9 holes? In the end the area will be the same and more holes perhaps was better to get all places in the tank. Or like MG ex wife said im a very complicated guy? Enviado através da ponta dos...

Each hole is 2mm diameter and i drill 9 holes. I have a bit more pressure in each hole that with the stock 20cm spraybar with 5mm holes and...

Just another question. Does this system with a spraybar on the back wall, the intake will work ok? Does the Walter of the other side of the intake can go to the intake pipe? Enviado através da ponta dos meus dedos!

will study well this stuff Perhaps the pump boosts a pvc pipe on half the back wall and the filter, who have the inline diffusor, the other half. maybe the flow of the 2 together can spread the gas evenly on all tank... thanks

Hi i have a circulation pump of 600l/h but im thinking of using my tetratec filter insted because of the inline diffusor cheers

Will give it a try. Just one more thing. In theory if i put a smaller diameter of pipe, it will compensate the larger length right? It will create more pressure to the last holes... Being the tank 100 cm it need about what? 80 cm of pipe is enough to the back wall? Once again, thanks for all...

Hi ceg do you think that a Tetratec EX700, 700L/H, could be strong enought something like this but shorter, my tank is 100 cm. Because of your talk about encrease flow on one of my posts, i´m thinking of buying a pvc pipe, drill some holes on it and try it... Cheers

Thats exacty it, im thinking it too but never see one personaly. Just ordered online the 2 instalation sets. Lets see... Thanks for reply
