I've heard from several people that just putting the air hose into the HOB doesn't work (the CO2 just gets lost once it hits the impeller, or something like that) I looked around and that little filter thing in that link is the most cost effecient thing that worked that I could find. You could...

So I'm at the point right now where, since I'm already going to be doing some work on my tank, that if I wanted to do a complete rescape then now would be the best time. I haven't decided if I'm going to or not, but I figure if I can think of something (or if someone can think of something...

For diffusing purposes I'm having a great deal of success with what this guy suggested: http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/diy-aquarium-projects/44053-tiny-super-efficient-co2-reactor.html for $8 it does an amazing job of breaking up the bubbles and whatnot. although if you're...

alright, thanks for all the help BK

hrm...i think my hairgrass glosso combo might be what I'm looking for...have this like low middle V shape center thing in mind any idea if anyone around here has glosso or hairgrass for sale? I posted in the wanteds and I would have over at aquatic plant central but apparently I need 25 posts...

looking to make a carpet in my 15 gallon with some glosso and hairgrass. if anyone has either please let me know

actually...maybe i'll do a line of the hair grass in the back and then the glosso in front of that; maybe that'd look nice

how tall does the corkscrew val get? i'm looking for something that'll be in the background, but won't get too tall (maybe 6-8 inches)

what about dwarf sag or micro sword?

I'm not really a fan of the grass look...not really sure why lol. now that this thread is pretty much off topic, do you have any suggestions for a low-growing plant I could put in the background. My tank kinda looks like this right now: without the sword or the alternanthera (and all the...

hmm...glosso looks like a cool plant. will it do ok in just plain gravel substrate? (plantgeek says it needs a high-nutrient substrate)

should I just replace the clover with a different foreground "carpet" type plant? I got the clover because i figured my lighting (40watt CFL over 15 gallons) wasn't enough for much else.

I was doing spot treatments with Excel but wasn't getting any effect. What concentration of H2O2 should I be using? The clover really hasn't taken hold all that well so maybe I'll just pull it up and do the same thing with it as you suggested doing with the anubias.

I would love to get some SAE's but the tank isn't big enough for them (only 15 gallons)

Ok, so the DIY CO2 is all set up and working amazingly. I'm actually really surprised at how easy it was to do. Now, though, I've got to get this BBA off the leaves of my plants. For the bigger ones (the anubias and the crypts) it's not big deal - I can either just pull it off or I can cut off...

good question...lol :duh:

so I removed the check valve, and voila, steady stream of bubbles (1 bubble every few seconds). I'm still a bit concerned about not having a check valve on there though

i was thinking that the check valve might be the culprit. but I'm a bit wary of taking it off since the co2 bottles are below the water line and the last thing I need is water damage in my dorm room. how much of an issue is the possibility of siphoning occuring if I remove the check valve?

yea I made sure when I was putting it on lol. came with instructions thankfully :clap: Hopefully it'll work itself out. Keep you posted :duh:

I don't have it connected to a diffuser right now because I wanted to make sure it worked before I hooked everything up (I'm going to be using a small submersible filter as a diffuser. see here...
