Alright, a little update. Not much has changed. My ferts should be at the house when I get home, and as far as CO2, i'm not sure where to go some of the stuff, so i'm holding off on it. Could I run two of the DIY ones at the same time? Also, how long should it take untill the water clears up?

Well, i'm up for the pressure style C02, i'm just confused as to what I need. I've got a regulator, and can make a diffuser fairly easy. My question is where do I find a needle valve? Do most hardware stores have em? Also, how do I check my C02 levels? I know a while ago in a test kit I had...

I actually ordered the rest of the ferts from Greg Watson. I got Nitrogen, Phosphate, and Potassium. I also got the CMB+ Stuff for the trace. I've been looking into different C02 things. I've found liquid Carbon, does that work? I also found a few different sights that have DIY ones that...

Ok, setup is as following -46 gallon bowfront -2 aquaclear 50s -110w CF light -DIY C02 Injector/maker -No fertilizers -I've got a good amount of plants -Water changes weekly First question- My tank has been running for about 7 months. It's got an algae bloom. I'm not sure what to do about...

Are they worth it? What ones are rated better? I wasn't too sure where to put this topic, but I figured here would be the best. I have a 46 gallon tank with two Aquaclear 50s. I've got a 110 watt CF light. Tons of plants. It's been running for around 6-7 months. I've had an algae bloom, I...
