co2

Hi Guys,   Purchased this substrate today from my LFS. The guy who sold it to me didn't know who the supplier was and what type of gravel it is or what the dimensions are?   Anyone have any ideas about where I could get something similar from or what the dimensions might be?   Thanks in advance...

I have a citric acid DIY co2 setup I am using currently until I can buy a full setup. I wanted to know if I can put my CO2 diffuser (ceramic disc) into my filter where it would then shred the bubbles completely, dispersing all the Co2 into the water. It will pass through the filter however. Here...

Does anyone know if the JBL m603 requires an external solenoid or if it is built into the computer?

Hello, my name is Liam and I am semi experienced in the fish tank world, as I have a healthy 10 gallon tank with Dwarf Gouramis and White Mountain Minnows. That is a very basic tank that has fake plants and gravel substrate, but I am planning on making a 20 Gallon Long planted tank in the...

Last Saturday (so three days ago) I made a DIY CO2 kit for my aquarium and let it go to work. I've got a steady stream of bubbles coming out now (although it seems a bit slow) and now today I've noticed that a bunch of my plants have bubbles all over them and some plants are releasing a steady...

Hi I have a few issues and questions about my set up. My tank has been running for 2 years. Up until now it has not had Co2. It has always had live plants (swords, crypts, cabomba, anubias) and has bogwood and a few rocks with part sand part gravel substrate. Up until now I've been dosing...

Since some of my friends told me their CO2 regulator stops working after just few years or even few months. Here's some of my experience from my workshop people telling me that it's not the problem of the regulator but it's from the CO2 cylinder!!   Here under is a Genesis Union Dual Gauged CO2...

Hi all,   I'm new to the whole Co2 thing, was talked into getting one at my LFS to help with my planted aquarium. So I went for the JBL Taifun S Reactor, TMC Solenoid CO2 kit, JBL Bubble Counter and CO2.   I have a 260 Litre tank and was setting CO2 to 30 bubbles per minute. I've been...

Hi all.   I thought I would pass this info onto others thinking about purchasing or modifying an existing CO2 system.   I purchased a very basic Flora-Grow CO2 Nano150 system and regretted it after being ripped off for replacement  CO2 cylinders at £13.00 a go, I did some research and found a...

OK, so as per some other threads I started, my CO2 was up and running but folk on here pointed out my flow wasn't right so I corrected it by adding a second external filter FLUVAL405.   This was just a few days before xmas, but no sooner had I corrected the flow issues when the gas ran out and...
