    2kg FE used in just over a week?

    Hi all, So I have decided to use Co2 24/7 for the initial setup period before I add any livestock but in just over 1 week (saturday to following monday) the 2kg fe is empty! How long does your 2kg fe's last for? Even if I had been using it for the photo period that is still only approx 2 weeks...

    2 x filters ... 2 x diffusers?

    When using 2 x filters via lily pipes is it best to have both connected to a Co2 source or would 1 be ample? The lilys would be placed at opposite ends of the of the tank and creating a circular flow with a UP inline diffuser connected to one filter.

    Fire extinguisher set up?

    I got my 2kg fe refilled today and the fella thru in a 5kg and another 2kg to keep me going for £20! I tried to find out more about the difference of keeping the core in the fe and taking it out and how to avoid the big dump of co2 at the end of cylinder. He says my 2kg fe was only half empty...

    Best Diffuser for a 400l tank?

    Looking for a diffuser for my juwel 400 tank. Gave up on trying to fit the cheap mixer reactor that came with the sodastream Co2 system. Still gonna use the sodastream bottle but need something else like an ordinary diffuser. Any recommendations?

    Any tips b4 I tun Co2 back on?

    I just recieved my new sodastream Co2 system and will be putting it in the tank tomorrow. I had Co2 running previously but the regulator had a very dodgy knob to try and set the bubble rate. I just wanted to know if there was anything I should be wary of when turning it back on after a couple...
