Hi again Flyfisherman, Sorry but i don't agree. Fish need O2 not only h2o(water), try disable any co2 and cover tank with something for long time period and does not matter what's water flow e.g. and then You will see result. Fish can't consumpt o2 from h2o, h2o is water and water is water :)...

With dropcheckers tricky, use only proper 4dkh water solution + br.blue(test reagent), clean perefectly before top up. I overdosed in my first 2 days after start injecting due my fault, visualy green but in reality there been yellow, all around tank background dark blue and in result...

I think You have o2 problem , not co2. Co2 and o2 independent gases in water. You need raise o2 levels if shrimps go to surface too, make surface agitation with some powerhead or pump and then readjust co2 injection. Best Regards

Hi, what's difference. If You add 50% in to bag tank water with co2 that mean there will be twice less or little below co2 as in Your tank. Fish will anything adapt better. You can make diffucult process - step by step as in some other guides, add 20% then after time add 40% tank water and ...

"i wont be using a ph controller i had one but gave me BBA algae issues si so im selling it " Your BBA i think is due poor flow or some other factors. PH controller is great tool for so big capacity tanks, i don't see other good co2 controll option for so big tank. Hard setup but If properly...

This is CH product. And if CH then real flow there not 1300l/h but some 500-600l/h. Maybe not. I bought other CH external and there flow size like China imported shoes wrong size :D And before buy look, there sell spare impeller for this filter or not. Best Regards,

I preffer Easycarbo, there is simply dosage explanation, same amount every day and there is stronger concentration. I don't like seachem excel, i don't understund why after water change need x5 more dose as in all other days, that practicaly overdosing in first day after water change. I think...

Hello, One guy told me about growing plants on 6w/gal for 6-8 hr in day and lights going off every 30min for 30min Fert. regime EI 30-35ppm Co2. Some one tried before, this method works ? Best Regards,

Realy huge tank I'l awaiting next Yours posts-journal. Very interesting Regards,

Hello, I know rulles say x10 min. with EI BUT i setup small 80-100L tank with aqua clay and covered some places with slates and stones - looks like iwagumi style. Small internal filter, i don't know exact how much is flow, maybe 100-250l/h, but realy not 10x, weak filter. I specialy adjusted...

I Don't know this CH product. Regards,

Allmost all any size and any amount co2 bottles come with presure 60 bar approx., my pub refill stations top up for me on 70 bars, also depend from temperature, higher temp.= higher presure. If 60bar full bottle, then out approx. is 2-3 bars on my single gauge regulator Heat Your bottle up to...

No warranty , probably fine floss more usefull as ceramic rings or other media. I found one website in internet about expirements with bacteria, which media best. And there proof about small filter impeller gives practicaly alone same efect as all filter media. From this time i never rinse my...

This is the same what i use CGA320 standard, i use with pub bottle, no any probs. Neelke valve only weak. Problems in my local area refill standard tmc bottle with cga 320, no one place. I got on refundable 30 pounds 7lb bottle from local pub bottle suplier and every time recharge cost 10. Can...

Pub bottle ok with cga320 and little ptf. But if Fire ext. then need at least 20 times wrap around profesionally and easily can damage regulator thread. At Yours own risk. CGA320 and EU standart thrreads same , only angle difference in 5 degrees and if You first used fire ext. then next time...

:) Also try Manualy turn off co2 with regulator and watch gauge, if gauge walking-not stable that mean some leak before needle valve-regulator. care with good non-return valve, avoid water in. I keep two valves, one before bubble counter and one after bubble counter. Best Regards,

I use TMC, there is cga320 American standard thread and pub bottle is suitable for use, little ptf tape wrap around and ok. Also paintball bottles have same standard, but other standard bottles not suitable. You need look which standard is regulator - European or CGA320.

I had same problem when bough time ago used TMC regulator with selenoid. I simply dismantled, everything cleaned and all now work fine. Special attention on magnetic valve, there are only one bold-scruw and two small scruws, take off all parts, clean perfectly with some spirit ring, seal, rubber...

I think there nothing need to replace. I wash my fine filter foam around a year and is ok. Keep yours rings-bio media in good condition, when necessary replace or replace and old can clean with some abrasive material - rings will be like new for next setup(only don't clean all rings out from...

Yours choice. But i personaly don't like a lot electrical things in natural environment , also plastics and other unknown chemicals. And i think this tool is waste of money. With this electric possibly more fluctuations as with diy yeast bottle, maybe not, i don't know this product. When i...

Hello all profs and chemical brothers :D I wanna buy bottle killing solution for my new small tank setup and i don't know which choose - Easycarbo or Excel I have some important for me questions. Why seachem excel recommended after water change dose 5ml on 40L and thereafter only 5ml on 200L...

Re: DIY cabinet- Spray vs. Brush Roller can't use with any paint product. Consult in shop wich paint is suitable for roller. I once bought gloss finish white and totaly not suitable for rollers - all paintwork in bubbles and after small holes. Best Regards,

I found some time ago different info about bacteria grow. 28C is little high, amonia produces more toxic. The best is 25C and bacteria grow better. Also ph over 7 not best, less toxic amonia in slightly acidic water. About how much bacteria need added in to substrate, i realy think does not...

Thanks for advice Ceg. Probably You are right. Anything i calculated our budget and we need cash for tourism with childrens in this week, so no cash now for RO/DI not for new light. Will left tank with 80w T8, some ferts and water changes some time and then will look what's next. Best Regards,

I'm not specialist in soils, but i read about best option is mix litter with something. to high CEC not the best, depend from fertilization methods and other factors. Last time i bought simply baked clay granules - Aqua clay from Aqua Essential, 10L bag cost only 10 pounds. I think later buy...

I think depend conntent of cat litter. maybe better very cheap option from bonsai online shop :) , that is clean cat litter - Moler Clay without any additions and 40L cost only £13.50 I personaly will order after some time. very cheap price, and there can buy JAPANESE FUJI GRIT too, looks like...

About ratio, that been adition to question about mixing RO water, and in this way i can get more easy kh 3-4 and gh 3-4 on budget mixing 50/50 ro/tap with MgSo4 , due i already have soft water. And if author of controled Imbalances recommend ratio not 4:1 but 1:4 then why not. But i will hear...

About leds i personaly think - if china cheap leds then this light will be very bad. I personaly don't wanna go for leds, fluoriscent light is much better and that energy saving on leds is blef, possibly You can save energy if You wanna read books on leds light and nothing else more. But that...

Thanks for advice. My water is too crystal clear now except diatoma cover a lot places and plant leaves. I keeping my old tank before i setup rio 400 for some years and never had any algea isues at all. I think that due my water suply water parameters changed some 2-3 months ago. And i tried...

Best option Pub bottle , optimal 7lb. Find some pub bottle refil station. Don't buy empty bottle in shop. Many refill stations accept only self bottles on rent and refill vary from 5 up to 15 pounds, depend on Yours loacation and refill station. Also with pub bottle is much better for Yours...
