I've done a soapy water test and to be honest cannot find any leaks at all....would it be quite noticeable if there was a leak. I checked where the regulator fits onto the FE the union where the 2 dials meet, the pressure release valve and the CO2 tubing up to the bubble counter

Further to my original post I am still having issues with my CO2 usage. I am currently injecting CO2 at approx. 2-3 bps and connected a full CO2 FE just 3 (yes three weeks ago). The bottle pressure is showing about 8-10 bar and the working pressure shows 1.75 bar....Surely to high heaven I...

Oh right...so tank not so good :rolleyes: The ramshorns must have come in on plants and they breed like b******y...I have 8 Assassins in there trying to clean them up I do a 40% water change every week and dose not only with Easycarbo but with Micro / Macro nutrients on alternate days...

Really ...you think my tank looks healthy ! o_O I use an ceramic in-tank diffusor bought from Aqua Essentials...Do get a bit of brown algae on flass...have Assassin snails as well to get rid of the Ramshorns which blight my tank

I have about 7 Corydoras, 2 x Danios and a Penguin Tetra...No shrimps...Using a 2KG Fe, with dual guage Dennerle regulator and solenoid for nightime shutoff

Hi Lee, What did you use to test your PH...a strip test kit or electronic tester ? Trev

I am using a Fluval Bubble Counter so am not sure if its a large or small bubble...its just a bubble ;) With regards to the growth of the plants...well personally I do not think they are growing that well considering some of the pics I've seen on the forum of other folks tanks :( CO2...

I have a 2kg FE running on a 54 litre tank at 1bps for approx 6 hours. Does anybody know roughly how long this will last ?...and should I have it on for a longer period and increase the bps ? Cheers Trev

Hi, I have a 54litre tank and started injecting CO2 with a reusable 500g JBL cylinder on the 29th June using 1-2 bubbles per second. I have just returned from a weeks holiday and the cylinder is now empty. Before I left the cylinder pressure was 50 bar and it is now zero. The regulator is a JBL...

The tank has been running for about 8 weeks but only 2 weeks with CO2 injection and the lighting is 1 x 20w lamp

Thanks guys for the advice...much appreciated...couple of other questions... I am experiencing brown agae on my plants and hardscape so do you think the photoperiod is correct ? I dose daily with easycarbo and APF dry ferts so the plants at least should be getting the correct nutrients but my...

Morning, Just wanted to know how many bps should I be aiming for in a 54litre tank ? Also my lighting period is 5.30pm to 11.00pm and currently my CO2 comes on at 3.30pm and goes off at 11.30pm...Is this sufficient or too much ?...drop checker showing constantly lime green bordering on green

Oh thats interesting...where do you get them from and how much ?

Yes looks like it...only thing is I havn't got a regulator / solenoid for the Dennerle bottle so am on the lookout for one

Well the tank is a Juwel Korall 60 which has its own hood with a 15w T8 lamp...not sure yet how long the lights would be on for ...what sort of regulator would fit on these Machine Mart cylinders ?

Thanks for the info...I have a refillable Dennerle cylinder which I purchased secondhand which I am going to take to Maidenhead Aquatics this weekend to see if they will swap for a full JBL 500gm (£19.99)...mind you they said that if it wasn't attached to the black stand then their suppliers...

Hi Peeps, I have a 60 litre tank which I am going to attempt to aquascape and wondered... if I were to buy a disposable 500gm JBL or D-D cylinder and use a solenoid to shut it off at night how long it would last roughly ? Cheers Trev

Oh thanks I'll take a look :thumbup:

I dont mind spending more time caring for the plants if the results are markedly better than what I have at present but not at the expense of possibly getting it all all wrong and losing my fish. I know there is a lot to learn about CO2 a steep learning curve and getting the balance right is...

Hi guys, I know its the weekend and you are probably very busy but I would appreciate some good, constructive advice. I have been 'humming and harring' about buying a CO2 injection system for my aquaria for several weeks now, and am still none the wiser on the best move. I have the option to buy...

Hi everyone, I own a 180litre planted tank which houses approx 30 community fish and my flora consistes of Java Ferns, Amazon Swords, Anubias and a varity of mosses. I do use use fertiliser along with EasyCarbo on a daily basis but am interested in the pressurised CO2 systems. A couple of...

Thanks for the info !....no I hadn't read the article...but have just read it and now everything makes sense...just have to decide whether to get a 2kg or 5kg now :) Thanks for your help :thumbup:

I assume though if I bought a full CO2 cylinder I would still have to discharge it before using it for aquarium purposes ?

Thanks for the info Callum...rang the company and they can do a 2Kg for £55 or a 5kg for £65 and then £20 each refill...does that sound about right ?

Oh well...hey ho.....thought this forum was to help budding young aquascapers like me :wink: learn the intricacies of planted aquaria but yep got that wrong as well !!...mind you if anyone needs advice on buying or repairing PC's then I'm your man :)...I'll take the last comment about...

Ah right...so it seems that my last addition to my post is now not deemed to be a 'Wanted' item :? ....strange I must have missed something in translation... and yes I have looked on EBay.....I may be a novice when it comes to CO2 but I have been an EBay member for the past 11 years so think I...

Have decided to get a empty 2Kg FE so if anyone knows where I might obtain one in the Essex area I would be most grateful for any ideas

Hi, Is it full or empty and what capacity is it ? The other thing I need to know is how tall it stands as I need to house it in the aquarium cabinet :D Oh the othing is how much do you want for it and where are you based ?

Hi, Did you manage to find any bits that you might want to sell ? Trev

Still looking for anyone who has a spare 2KG FE or equivalent cylinder to sell and any other bits and bobs to setup a CO2 system ?

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. I have as you a Juwel Vision 180 tank using just the normal filter but with a Juwel 1000lph pump although I have been informed that I should purchase a extra powerhead for distributing the CO2 more effectively. The only reason I mentioned a disposable cylinder is...

Hi, I am thinking of going the pressurised CO2 route but wanted some advice on whether to get a disposable cylinder or a refillable one. I have looked at both the JBL ProFlora u401 and the D-D Complete CO2 Set and just wanted to canvass your opinion on the merits of both. Also could I still use...

Hi, I am thinking of taking the plunge and buying a CO2 pressurised setup but need some guidance as what to get. I have a Juwel Vision 180 planted tank and have only been using ferts from AquariumPlantFood together with EasyCarbo and although I have been reasonably pleased with the results I...
