wow you right alot... lol

ummm first off i got the 20g l because its a small tank but with alot of room i pland on if having dps but that is going to change i think im just going to try plants and see what lives if they dont they they dont if they doo the i gues its enough light... lol
um the grass is called kyoto

yes i cycled my tank and i plan on buy a test kit soon

i think im going to stick with the co2 system i have now

oh and have you heard any thing about using dryice to put co2 into the water

Dry Ice might work (outside of the tank) but it won't last long and would be a PITA. Sugar and Yeast DIY should be better. It's just that regular airstones really suck at difusing CO2 so your probably wasting 80% of what your producing.

I have never heard of Kyoto grass.

But alot of Petcos sell this http://www.plantgeek.net/plantguide_viewer.php?id=220 and it will die in your aquarium.

I'm not sure, how much light do you have? Crypts, java Fern,are will grow in most conditions.

BTW, with your water below the filters output your creating ALOT of surface agitation. This will disipate your all your CO2. I would now estimate you are losing 95% of the CO2 your reactors are creating. or some ridiculously high number. Maybe even all of it.

well sence my 10g was emty... i decided will i was in petsmart to pic up this new piece... its huge!

im not sure if i like it i know the puffers will but... im not sure... i think that it would look better with just black substrait like the 20g ... so im going to take the substrait out whenn i get realy lazy and get some more of the black stuff then i will plant it...

this is the 10g so far.... yah i know... its packed!

do you think i could run two hoses off the co2 bottle? becuase i plan on planting the 10g... should i get another diy system going?


what would you do?
 
you know that the plant you have in your tank is not realy an aquatic plant...?
 
it probably wont but itll make the tank pretty crazy looking.:)
