It's just a tube you can flow water through counter to the flow of CO2. I don't know why they say marine either. I'd just run CO2 through an airstone at the bottom and H2O from a small pump throught the top.
I'm not really wanting to get into RO. The nice thing about well water is you can...
That's what I was suspecting. As it is I have a 10lb tank so I suppose I have a lot of gas to burn. The pH probe and reactor are basically side by side next to the intake of the return pump. I've got a big sump so the waters pretty calm over by the submerged pump and there's really little to no...
I keep reading, but I can't quite get my mind around it all. I'm still getting a 100 gal tank ready for apistos. I've installed a pressurized CO2 system that's using a Red Sea CO2 Reactor 500. I bubble the max the reactor can dissolve with out bubbling over (about 3/sec). My pH dropped from 8.0...
Thanks for the replies. Seems K2S04 is the way to go. How do you determing ppm of K? Should I worry about it or just dose conservatively and see how it goes?
edit: when I ask how do you determine ppm of K, I don't mean how do you determine how much you add, I mean how do you determine what the...
Can anybody tell me what the appropriate levels (mg/L or % wt/vol) of potassium is generally used as fertilizer in a planted aquarium and what form the Potassium is supplied in? I work in a molecular biology lab and would like to make my own fertilizer for my tank. Any recipies? Thanks,

I was wondering about Apisto social preferences. tjudy got me started with this list.
Harems:
aggassizii
cacatuoides
macmasteri
regani
veijita
Pairs:
nijsseni
Would any body like to extend this?
Yeah, I've read that oto's frequently experience a die off after you introduce them. Seems most recommend building up a lot of algea, introducing a group hope for the best, and start feeding blanched veggies before the algea is all gone. But it sounds like heavy losses are the norm, which is...
Thanks for the reply, it was helpful. Especially pointing me toward the oto's. I hadn't thought of them. I don't particularly like plecos and it sounds like otocinclus has size and schooling behavior like Cory's. Win-win. I certainly can wait until I get good algea for them though.
I'm...
Hi all-
First let me start off with the usual noob stuff. I apologize for the wordiness.
I just started cycling a 95G Wave (48x24x25, AGA) with a dozen Danio's. Maybe another more colorful school of something else small. The tank has the AGA Mega overflow draining to a large sump...
