You don't have a nylon washer? The regulator should have come with one. Even if you did buy the perma seal. Mine did. But anyway. Aquariumplants.com will ship one to you for free. Just the 4 bucks for the seal. They could get one to you in 2 or 3 days, not 2 or 3 weeks. Just a suggestion. http://www.aquariumplants.com/Perma_Seal_co2_cylinder_to_regulator_seal_p/perm1.htm

You should put a solid color background on your tank too. It will make the plants and fish stand out more. Black or light blue would be what I would do. Black if you plan on a jungle tank. Light blue if you go Amano or Dutch. Black always works though.

I think it did come with a nylon washer...so would it be fine to use that right now and then whenever I refill the tank switch out the seals? I will post a pic of what I think is the nylon washer! Thanks:)

Definitely needs a background! Really nice stand and hood. It will be a stunner I have no doubt!

Yes! For sure! I am planning on getting a black background the next time I go to either an arts/crafts store or petco...

You really did go all out! And I think my wife hates you now....when I read how much you had spent, I was like, that seems like a lot...then we did a running total of what we have spent on my 75 so far. I am close to your total cost and I am not even close to finished yet. Needless to say I might be in the dog house...LOL.

Once your tank grows out it will look very nice!

haha thanks! It took me forever to save up haha! The tank combo was quite expensive too at $900, but I did save $300 more as I got around 7 free tanks(10/20/29Gs)...

So I basically have paid my dad $1000 so far...I still need to pay $500 more and then he will pay for the lighting since it will save us a lot of money in the 10 years it will last!

If it looks like that then yes. And you can switch it as soon as you get a new perma seal. No reason to wait until you have to refill the tank.
 
Okay! I;m still gonna post a pic to confirm lol
Cuz I have two that look kinda like that...

a white and a yellow
pics in a sec
 
Here u go!!!
The yellow has ridges and is a bit bigger and stiffer
White is barely flexible(Less stiff than yellow tho)

Yes. Those will work until you get your new perma seal.
 
so either one? anyways, I can't set up today:(
my teacher decided to screw me and the rest of the class lol
she added last semester, or 10 chapters, for my final which is tuesday...i now also have to memorize 30 lines of julius caesar for english...uggghhh...so much work! well, school is done this wednesday so hopefully it will be setup on thursday!
i didn't find any decent rocks/wood this morning when i went riding...

i did order the following tho
glosso
crypt parva
L inclinata cuba
Hygro Kompakt
Pogo Erectus

those should arrive in 1-2 weeks so Co2 will up and running for them!
 
I'd pack that tank with some floating water sprite for the time being (until your new plants come in). It can be removed and sold later on. The sooner the CO2 is running, the better.
