So I set my pressurized system up today (well, I'm waiting on a new needle valve but I couldn't help myself so I set it up with what I have). It's a Milwaukee regulator. I have the CO2 line going into a Hagen Elite Mini underwater filter. Right now I'm counting about 2 bubbles / second in...

any idea when you might be getting more amanos? Edit: Maybe I should read the whole thread and then ask questions lol

I never had any luck with the excel treatment, but using H2O2 worked wonders for me. Here is a guy who talks about it: http://www.malawicichlidhomepage.com/aquainfo/algae_peroxide.html

what type of swagelok should I be looking for? Because there are a whole bunch on ebay for around $20

I'm going to be putting together a pressurized system for my 15 gallon, but I'm on a bit of a tight budget (yay for being a college student). I'll have to find the tank somewhere around me (btw, what size should I be looking for. I was thinking 5lb, but I'm not sure) As for the regulator /...

well there are definitely cheaper ones but I know Milwaukee has a good history. i don't know much about this and I don't want to end up with something that doesn't work what about this...

So I have a 15 gallon low-light moss / anubias / (soon to be) dwarf clover tank. Right now I'm using a DIY Co2 system and everything is going just fine. I had a little bit of BBA, but it has since died off (I think the H2O2 actually worked). The issue is that I just forget to change my CO2...

Is there any particular way that one should go about trimming moss attached to driftwood? I've always had bad experiences with trimming plants (they tend to wilt or grow in some strange direction or something else odd). What I'm trying to get is that groomed / organized look for the moss...

I'm looking for as much of this stuff as I can get my hands on. Preferably submersed growth. :thm:

So my moss that I attached to the driftwood with thread has grown in rather nicely, but there are some bare spots (particularly where I couldn't get the thread to be tight). Now that there is some moss that I can trim and reattach, though, I'd like to fill in those spots. I've heard from a...

don't forget that an AH supply fixture has much better efficiency than a regular fixture. I think it's like 35% better or something (it's on their site), so take that into consideration.

is the issue a lack of CO2 or fluctuating CO2 levels (as this site hints at http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/algae.htm)?

I have two bottles on it right now. I think I need to change the mix (actually meant to get sugar today at the store but I forgot). I'll start dosing excel. Wouldn't ferts just exacerbate the issue? Since the moss doesn't really use much in terms of fets.

So my planted tank story started about 9 months ago (last June) with my 15gallon freshwater tank. i've learned a great deal since then and I finally like the direction my tank is going in, but I cannot for the life of me get rid of this BBA. Originally I had too much light over the tank with...

you're probably going to want to figure out some type of CO2 system. I was at about 2.5 wpg and was trying to just use excel, but I developed some pretty bad algae issues.

mix is 2 cups sugar and i think 1/2 tsp of yeast....something like that i think i'm just going to try replacing the mix and see if that does anything.

I'm not using a check valve (because the same thing was happening when I was using a check valve). The diffuser is just the CO2 line run into a mini power head. The room temperature is probably mid 70s. The mix is a couple weeks old, I need to change it anyway, but this just seems like an...

So my DIY CO2 system, particularly the release of the CO2, has been acting rather strangely lately. Basically, for anywhere between 30-60 seconds (and it may be longer, i haven't timed it) there won't be any bubbles coming out at all. And then there will be a stream of bubbles for anywhere...

i have to figure out dosing for low lights b/c the moss is rather undemanding as far as I know and I want to avoid algae as much as possible still, would it grow at all under that lighting?

for dwarfs does it matter if it's 2 males or 2 females or 1 and 1?
