If yer just gonna use yeast with nutrafin, just use a DIY method. Its cheaper. And no fish waste does not fertalize the plants properly. You'd be doing better good to dose EI than add CO2.

My water temp has raised about 2 degrees in the past 24 hours. All my fish are not swimming around the whole tank. They are just chillin at the surface, real calm. Why? Its a planted tank, dosing EI, injecting CO2 via DIY. They are not as active as normal, most are just hanging out by the...

yeh one of my kribs is a bully. nipps the fins of my 3 angel fish, and just about everything else. and here i thought the biggest angel was ruling the roost of my community tank. well i hope my krib calms down, cuz its so darn perdy. doesnt like poop though, i saw a tetra dookey and the krib...

HAHA people are so uptight

Thanks 2pods! Yer the man! :good:

I did a search bu couldnt find a thread giving instructions to set thi up. I have been dying to get a pressurized CO2 system for my tank because the DIY levels vary so much. Is there a thread with step by step instructions listing everything you need? If not would anyone want to assemble a post...

I've got 3 angels in a community with 2 plecs. I even have a dwarf puffer. provide enough distraction for them and they wont bother anybody, except maybe eachother. but just angels and plecs would be fine.

Thats what I was figuring cuz of its behavior. Thanks for clearing that up!

The pics are kinda grainy, and as u can see the plants REALLY missed the light Dwarf Puffer: Krib: Tank:

You better get some wood putty!! yikes

Wow. What a huge difference, my water is crystal clear. The plants missed the light :( but they will be ok. Tank looks brand new.

That sucks :( I had the same problem. Green water for the past 2 weeks, I did water changes, etc. I do not use pressurized CO2, I use DIY. But none the less I still use CO2, my tank has a good mass of plants and out of desperation, I blacked out the tank. I will remove the black garbage bags...

Where can I buy EI ferts? Can you give me a list of what you are using, like brand name and whatnot? Thanks.

I should have taken a picture BEFORE the process, but I just blacked out my tank this morning with black garbage bags. I have had green cloudy water for 2 weeks and water changes didn't help any it kept coming back. So I was left no choice but... BLACK OUT. I am nervous, I hope the fish are ok...
