Well, this wasn't the update I was going to post, but anyway. I walked into the storage room Sunday evening and my socks were immediately soaked with water. As some may recall I had my old Pennplax...

AH! I will take a new one soon, that way it can be compared to the older ones. ��

FTS? Sorry, my brain isn't working quite at optimal level this early in the morning, lol.

Well, I had a slight setback yesterday. My Eheim Pro 4+ canister filter is out of commission for 1 week. For those that are unfamiliar with these filters, they have a quick disconnect on the hoses...

It almost looked like BBA at first glance, but after a second look it appears different. It could've been from all of the decaying plant matter as I've had something similar in the past when I first...

Happy Birthday William!

:birthdaymulticolor:

My plan is to supplement the Oto's with veggies, and hopefully they'll graze on pellets as well. I initially planned to get 6 but the more I read up on them the more I learn that they like to be in...

Went to my LFS today to see if they had any Otocinclus to help with what algae I have in my tank.....no luck, but said they should get some in next week. They are tank raised so they should be...

I never had much luck with just lighting for plants except for Vals and Crypts. When I began using root tabs my Amazon Swords took off. I then tried staurogyne repens as well as Java's and they...

It appears I have around 30ppm as the DC solution was still green when the lights went out. I'll still keep an eye on it the next few days, but it appears I nailed it in just over 1 day. :19:

My goal is to have 30ppm when the lights kick on, but yesterday was the 1st full day of having the co2 on. I have the co2 timer set to come on at 10am, the 6.5k lights kick on at 11:15am, then the...

Well, about 1hr or so before my main light kicked off my drop checker turned green. Does this mean it will do that every day or will the tank retain some co2 the next day?

I work tomorrow so I...

Thanks Nat! Yes I have a drop checker and as I type it's a blue/green with 5hrs of co2 injection today and 2 1/2hrs left. I'm currently running about 3bbs.

Thanks for the links. I'm going to...

TWS? Forgive me but I've never ordered any livestock online.

Thanks Mac! I haven't tried Phosban, but I will pick some up tomorrow. Good to know about the flying fox. I'll have to order SAE's as I've never seen them at any of my LFS's. Can you recommend a...

I really hope this helps with BBA and GSA I've been getting in my tank since upgrading the light.

I also have been placed on a call list at a LFS for a Flying Fox (Epalzeorhynchos kalopterus). ...

Well, everything arrived over the past 3 days and today I decided to set up the pressurized system. I went with an inline atomizer from Up Aqua and I'm not very happy with the micro bubbles I now...

I received my regulator today! While this the first regulator I've owned, I'm very impressed with the quality of this unit from CO2Art, but aquatic equipment from Germany is usually well built.
...

*** EDIT, it does have a bubble counter. I got mixed up after looking at dozens of regulators.

I would've went with schedule 80 also. Not only can it handle more pressure but it doesn't bend (sag) as much as 40. I'm sure I don't have to say this, but make sure to dry fit everything before...

You won't be able to sex as a juvenile.

Well, after pleading my case like a prosecuting attorney my wife agreed to a more expensive regulator. After a lot of research I've decided to buy a CO2ART dual stage Pro regulator.
...

I absolutely love GBR's! It would be really cool to see if you could get a breeding pair. thumbs2:

That it is my friend. It would've cost nearly double to buy 2 lids, not to mention the plastic hinges only last 5-10 years depending on how much they're used. thumbs2:

Oh no! I hope your mom heals quickly!

The room is starting to take shape! Is the PVC gray or did you paint it?
