Ok will try to add some livestock, hope it will help. Amanos any other suggestions?

I got this from an aquarium shop. Since it was big I couldn't boil it, But I kept it submerged for over a month, never saw the mold any time then. Used to keep it out in the Dubai sun :) and it was really hot.

Thank you all. I guess I will not risk it, since it the additives and substrate.

But how long can I keep doing this? Is two weeks a long time (just a max estimate)?

Hi, Maybe a silly question, but I don't want anything to go wrong :) I am almost ready to start my first planted tank, have all the things ready so I am thinking of going ahead and setting up my hardscape. Is it ok, till then, to leave the substrate open in the tank, lets say I will be...

Hi, Any idea about the washer inside the bubble counter? Regards, B

Thanks Ian, for the check valve is this a one time thing or do I need to keep replacing this after a while? I was checking online for those metal ones. I actually have one of those Ista plastic ones that came in the disposable diffuser kit, will this be enough? Does it come in a standard sizing...

Also is a co2 Check valve and reactor necessary? I will be using an Intank Bazooka Diffuser.

Hi, I am a beginner and building my first setup. My first try of a planted or any aquarium. I loved the Planted ones and hence decided to do it rather than have a normal one. I am not sure about the light needed. The aquarium does come with a light in the hood, but I plan to use something...
