Ceramic Diffuser Suitable For Use With Nutrafin Kit?

ha ha there's no chance really as we're doing the house up to sell, but maybe in the next house!

Touch wood were 2 weeks away from completion, and I've made sure when we were looking that there would be room for my new 100g

oooh how exciting!!!

good luck, got my fingers crossed for you.

if we end up moving to where we want to we'll have to sell all our tanks and start over, can't take them with us it's about the only thing putting me off!

Oh no! Thats awful! How come?

I let you know how it goes, and will of course start a journal for the 100g

we'd basically sell everything we own except for a few cases of clothes and a crate of our favourite sentimental possessions that we can't part with and start over.

i would be sad about my fishies but you have to have your priorities in life

How does everyone else find the CO2 levels with a ceramic diffuser on a Nutrafin bottle? I have tried a couple of different positions for the diffuser but am not seeing CO2 levels as 'high' (correct!) as I was getting with the ladder.

I hooked up a ceramic diffuser the other day to my home made jobby. Using sugar, yeast and bi-carb of soda. It took 6 hours to pressurise but now its giving me out 17 streams of bubbles. Heres a pic i took last night and posted on another topic...

Oh and now to answer your question... whoops... umm to be honest its only slightly better than the ladder. My lighting levels are way too low in K to get my plants pearling, but the java fern is picking up nicely in my tank... after browning, and its now making new shoots.My hornwart is well... just being hornwart and out-growing my tank, killing all my algae , and my javamoss is still struggling regardless what i do to it lol. So it all works perfect This is in the space of 2 days after 15 days without a CO2 kit installed.

Well, aside from the diffuser popping off the tubing yesterday evening (and scaring me, let alone the fish!), CO2 levels are OK again this morning, a nice green colour on the permanent test. I currently have the diffuser in a place which seems to have a circular current...hard to describe (it is before a bit of mopani wood but after the filter outlet) which means the bubbles are in the water for ages, moving in a circular motion instead of floating straight up to the top. So far so good, though I can see me either zip-tying the tube ends onto the diffuser and bottle or getting some aquarium sealant and glueing things together.

Hi Miss Wiggle,

Don't give up on the Fishes just yet... ...we have two groups of freinds who are emigrating to Canada... ...the process can take years... ...they have both been waiting for 2.5 years just to get to the medical!

Two things...
1. What is a permanent co2 test, and where do I find one?

2. Miss Wiggle... Black backgrounds stop the see through thing. Put one on each side of some plastic or something and run it down the middle so you can see fish from both sides, but not into the other room. You will need a large tank though. You can even put holes in it so water can flow through and fish can travel from one side to the other. You just have to put plants so they will block people from being able to see through them. It would work kind of like a divider except going long ways in the tank giving a false back...
