Good morning all, Currently on my new setup i have used sand as the substrate but without any soil/ fertiliser under it. Currently injecting CO2 pressurized and dosing with Ferts, but plant growth is not really happening. Could this be because of the dense sand preventing nutrients getting into...

i thought it may be sand. but i have just setup the tank so it would be a big job to change round now. U think root tabs would be enough. will all my plants suffer with just having sand?

check solution, turned yellow, so least thts 1 thing eliminated. Co2 turned up, extra 30 mins before light comes on too. see what results tht gives me. Was reading a journal earlier where some was putting around 10-12 bps into tank, so guess i will know more when bubble counter arrives.

thxs guys, tht is a good amount of info. im using the glass drop checker, ordered bubble count hoping it will be here tomorrow or monday. may bump the co2 up as well. will report bck my findings. over and out lol

Me again, Will nitrite and nitrate levels effect Co2 drop checker ?? Also should the drop checker attract co2 bubbles ?

yes and im using an inline diffuser as mentioned earlier, turned co2 rite up and no change, really p-----g me off now

Cant remeber, was a site advertised on here so i presume its gd, doesnt say who makes it

yes lots of small bubbles, clear came from buyonline24

Hi all new member, and quite new to aquariums fish keeping. NW Lancashire :wave: Current tank is a fluval 125, external fluval305 filter Co2 bottle input and inline diffuser. Having the usual beginner issues but will get there. so hello, looking to find more Lancashire people into aquariums

do i cut em off? or will they grow into leaves eventually?

positioned to the left not in direct flow, have tried tht. the 4kdh bromo blue, does it need a reactor aswell? i may be being dum, but im new to the co2 aquarium world

is tht good ?? been there about 1 1/2 week

yes it seems to yes, opened it quite a bit, dont wanna go ecessively open or i will end up emptying cos bottle in no time, takes only 125 litres so shouldnt need tht much co2 surely

anyone it looks like furry spider legs lol

its at 2bar, can see small bubbles coming from spray bar, bit misty. The colour didnt change even when i wasnt using inline diffuser, its getting to make or break time, im out of ideas, just doesnt seem to change watever i do,

lol, mines not changed in weeks, im out of ideas, doesnt change when using normal diffuser or when running through inline diffuser arrrrrrr

Hi guyas anyone know what this is and what the brown growing from the back is ?

ok i try that guys and report back my findings, thxs so far

yes i have micro bubbles, they almost creat a sort of white mist, the bar is at 2 .

no no fish yet pal, wanted to get the injection correct of co2 before adding fish, i will try putting it up to 2 hours before the lights, just checked before co2 went off and no change

no bubble counter installed

yes 4dkh bromo blue, does it effect it if u fiil it to top of small ball on glass drop checker ? there is surface movement but not to the extent where its causing ripples or bubbles, just rotation ?

it comes on 1 hour before lights, and yes im using in line diffuser so u can see very small bubble almost a little misty

sounds like worth a shot, wats best type of pipe to replace the standard fluval piping?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aquarium-Live ... 27be61aa61 How about this?

Any suggestions on best place to purchase required equipment to set this up guys ?

I heard it can be an issue running on the inlet to pump as it can creat large Co2 buble in filter canister ? Have you had experience with fluval 305 pal. Or is wat im hearing incorrect ?

HI guys, looking at using an inline diffuser with my fluval 305 ext filter. anyone out there had experience doing it, and is it worth doing, currnetly running spray bar full length of fluval 125 tank. thxs in advance :thumbup:

Spray bar currently attached to inlet on Fluval 305. Im thinking Powerhead with spray bar attached to powerhead, co2 diffuser directly underneath, this would give good distribution, only question anyone know good powerhead that will attach easy to fluval spray bar kit ?

anyone please?

thxs for tht, tht decides tht for me lol

Is it worth having or do you just really need to do ph, ammonia nitrite nitrate ? any reviews be good of people using tar very much

Hi guys, got my co2 setup running now, using a spray bar along the rear of 125litre tank, noticed although co2 seems to be getting about, its more in certain areas. Is the Co2 diffuser better being next to outlet pipe back into filter, then distributed through Spray. Or will the co2 be weaker...

Hi guys started using james planted tank site, i have made the all in one and tpn+3 what dosing would u do, 125 litre tank medium / light planted. Co2 injection. cheers

thaanks for reply got it to stop , but the issue is the reg isnt doing wat it should, i think i need a new 1. Could do with knowing what reg and solenoid will fit ista bottle ?

anyone advise me pls

i Thought so, i cant find where tho i have the TMC V2 Pro reg, i Think it may be the magnetic block with solenoid on. Cant see where else it could be. I dont really understand how the magnetic block work looking at it. Any Suggestions on where to start ?

issue somewhere in the reg then would u say ?

Hello does anyone on here use the ista co2 bottle ? Ista also do a tidy looking Regulator, the only issue is the reg has no solenoid looking for advice on reg with solenoid to use thanks as my TMC V2 pro is faaulty and struggling to get working correctly.

Hi eppes, Just a quick question, after ur solenoid kicks off, do you still have Co2 coming through your diffusers ? Mine switched off tonight but still is releasing Co2 from diffuser ? Any advice

anyone ? the noise when solenoid is on is terrible, just constant buzzing. If you look at the TMC V2 pro now its different block onto solenoid ??? wounder if its a common issue.

Does anyone know where i can purchase a replacement part, the block with the solenoid on in between needle valve and main reg block ? the solenoid when on spigot is noisy as hell, but ok when off, looks as if the brass sleeve is worn causing vibration. Thank john

the part with the brass coating ? and what did u clean it with ? doesnt seem to be any muck or anything on it. its a bit of a head scratcher as the bottle does not leak at all, so must be something with reg, and dont want to fork out more on another, its been a long night lol

yes i understand that , but surely that would be finished within hours ? It seems to constantly carry on seaping through ? so what are of the reg and solenoid would that be tht could be faulty?

Hi people , has anyone else had any issues with the regulator ? Solenoid is very noisy and i dont think its working correctly, well the block that the solenoid collects too as i dont understand how that part operates, but either way when solenoid is turned off/on the co2 still comes thro. the...

Yes i am using a drop checker, I seem to have more control with the needle adjustment now. I guess i need to get past a few issues to start as i have started a scratch again. I think i will try Easy Carb dose too. Once again thanks for the help. Cant always see the trees for the forrest lol...

Just checked for leaks and have found one on the bubble counter its self, i presume if the counter has a small leak i will need to open needle more to creat more pressure for diffuser to work. Removed bubble counter and found i dont need to open the needle as much to make diffuser work. so new...

yes its the glass diffuser, could it be i dont have enough pressure to push through diffuser, and yes it sits in the tank

hi, is the TMC adjustable other than the Needle valve, " gauges read 60 Bar and 2 Bar

I have one of the bottles from Aquamania in Blackburn think there called oista bottles and mine is 1.6kg
