One of my favorite Dwarf Cichlids along with nannacara anomala ...maybe time to get a couple!

Three pages of responses and no mention of the '60s Soul and R & B, of Motown and others, of some of the greatest music. Artists such as The Temptations, Booker T and the MG's and many others. I was a bass player back then and am still alive which is probably why most responses here are from...

I am shocked at the prices you must pay! In order for the Milwaukee solenoid to work with your existing parts, you have to find the parts required to connect it to the dual guage kit: The parts, if available to you, may not be that expensive. I am not that familiar with newer JBL products...

I have a feeling that the solenoid will not work with a lot of additional parts and expense. You may be better off to buy the Milwaukee dual guage kit complete with solenoid and bubble counter/valve. Hope you can cancel or return the parts already ordered...Jim

I think you need a brass bubble counter with fine adjustment attached to your solenoid. Check out a complete guage set picture from Milwaukee. That is how you should connect the tubing to your diffuser. If power goes out, the solenoid will not be open. I have issues with my API PH test...

Here is my 20 G High with a Matten, air driven, and an Aquarium Coop Sponge with a USB pump in the outflow. The AC sponge already had been cycled and was used to seed which will be a quarantine tank. After 7 days, with Dr. Tim's Ammonium Chloride injection, it is close to being fully cycled...

I have run full width and height Matten Filters with water pumps as opposed to airlifts. The results are impressive, especially when cycling a new tank. In this case, make sure you maintain good surface agitation.

@rebe, you can reach me on PM if you wish...

No need to say more...

Hmm, interesting.

Could you enlighten me/us on what liquid fertilizer has to do with the topic?

If you are doing a "heavy rescape", you may want to monitor and stabilize your BB cycle before starting CO2. Doing both at the same time may not have the best outcome. Your pH Controller should maintain the set pH level and control the solenoid regardless of the time of day so no timer should...

Any large and fast drop will be harmful to fish and BB. A ph Controller can be set provide minimal drops over time. Please ensure you properly cycle your tank and stabilize ph before adding fish.
