beautiful, how does that co2 system work? my dad just bought one and i was wondering if it was any good, im thinking it is.

the co2 works by adding sugar water and yeast, as the yeast feed off the sugar it produces co2 which is then entered into the tank throught the air hose on a small powerhead. I went low tech but i dont really know how much co2 it's putting out. the indicator ihave is still light green more on the yellowish side i might just upgrade to a presurised system . but i'm gonna give this one a go for a few months and see what happens, i mean i can always just add another lo tech one or make my own.

Do you know whats weird? I saw a take with the SAME design in a book today...

looks good. you might need more co2 though.

^If thats the only co2 bottle down there that i see.

You really do need alot more. Tripple the dosage or upgrade to a DIY.

I did once think about the premade kits...i used one at my store for our planted 75. And a DIY one for my 55 for test to see what i like better.

The DIY works alot better.
