Folks, I'm putting up for sale my Pressurized Co2 and my small back-up fish tank. I don't have the time anymore to keep up with this stuff :( Here's my ad on CL: http://hartford.craigslist.org/for/2562427913.html Milwaukee Regulator w/ Solenoid & BC High Pressure tubing Inline-Diffuser...

I also just ordered plants, including vals. They don't look too hot either. I got much nicer anubias and crypts, though. Your layout looks good. Mind if I ask where you got the camboba from?

Ok, thanks guys. It's no biggie - its just ferts go in with the fish food. That'll make it easy :) What do you think of the 1/12ml as an estimate of a 'drop' ? I'm dosing 5ml now a day of the PMDD premix.

Hey all, I have bought the PMDD Pre-Mix from aquariumfertilzers.com It comes with 1 Part KN03, 1 Part K2S04, 1 Part MgSO4, and 1 Part CSM+B It says dissolve 1/4 PMDD with 500ml water, then use 1-4 drops per gallon per day. Is there an amount I can put in at once that'll fertilize the water...

What kind of ground cover are you using in your 55G?

yea haha, I boiled/cleaned it. Thanks man! I'm looking forward to it. The stupid driftwood just floats now so I gotta anchor it down. Time for plants!!!

P.H 6.4, KH of .71, Co2 mg/l of 5.9 Soft water I guess..

Ok, they are HO lights. I put in a big piece of driftwood, I gotta update pics as I go. Ordering plants today.

I have a pair of rams, two cories, and an angel in my 55g. Two years and so far, growing strong.

awesome, i'll order those right away. In the meantime, can't I check Co2 saturation by kh vs. ph charts? I don't know HO vs normal. this guy only sells fishtank lighting so I'd hope it'd be worthy for a planted aquarium. I'll look at the bulb when I get home.

How long would you boil it for?

Any suggestions on how to make it a black background? Vynyl tape? Paint, or paper, etc.? 55x2 6700k bulbs from AH Supply. Not exactly sure on bulb type (Part 11556 - 55 Watt 6700K Compact Bulb http://ahsupply.com/mcart/index.cgi?code=3&cat=3) Co2 is Milwaukee setup w/ bubble counter. I...

Hm, new wood goo? haha has a good ring to it. It's clear with a green tint to it. I'll put it in the tank and grab some photos once it starts up again.

Hey all, I recently acquired a huge piece of driftwood. Two problems. I put it in my tank and it generated a completely disgusting coating of slime algae. nasty. I pulled it out, put it in boiling water for 10 minutes, slime algae came back. It's been sitting out of my tank now...

What do you guys think about this checker + solution? http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3747+4608&pcatid=4608

Ok, i'll go search a few and see what I find. I edited my post above - I have 315GPH flow in my 55g. Seems like a powerhead might not be a bad idea?

:cool: So, against the advice of some, and going with the advice of others, I ordered the AZOO Co2 regulator from Dr. Foster/Smith aquatics. I have: -2 plastic check valves -5# Tank -Whatever needle valve comes with the regulator -20' of Co2 tubing -Lots of dry ferts -110watt AH Supply lighting...
