Hi yes im happy with my eco complete. After intial stage of cloudy water, my water is clear as since.

Yes ive read few books but i find info on here much more beneficial. Ie had chiclids for 10 or so years, but had a community tank for maybe 2 years, so still learning.

There seems to be a fair bit...

Its been a few months now and ive still been haveing the odd fish die on me :(

They seem to go redish on the gut and near the fins and loose ability...

Alrighty, thanks for that.

I did have a fish die last night which is why i did a water test. And the last water change (50%) was end of october. The external filters have been a while longer since a wash out. How often should...

Hi ive just done a few water test but for some reason i cant remember what the levels should be for each. If some one could tell me what they should be that would be great! Its a 6x2x2 planted tank...

Thanks Guys

Ok kegs on legs sounds good, where abouts do you exchange the bottles?

Yeah i got my reg/solinoid on ebay from singapore. Not real impressed. had to get a joint machined for it and then still seal...

No i found a cheaper one through another gas out let. But I think they are similar bottles.

So you brought the bottle? What did it cost you? Some of the smaller ones of the aquarium sites are...

Sorry you must have missunderstod me, yes the solidoid was pluged into same powerpoard timer as the lights. Actually i had the co2 stop slightly before the lights turned off to give plants to utilise...

Well it hasnt been actually running for a little while as ive been re doing the tank.

previously i had the gas turn off and on with the lights, ie set on the same timer.

Dont particularly want...

Hi

Am about to upgrade my fire extinuishers to a single hired co2 bottle and am wondering if i need to run a solonoid at all or just let it run all night and all day?

Cheers

Yeah it has been about 7 weeks.
So will start slow and slowly increase the co2.
What about the fertz? Slowly vamp them up also?

G'day,
Ive run out out of co2 and havent been running it in for some time but have now found a source of co2 so will start it again. My Question is, will it be fine to just start on my old fert/co2...

I still havent got around to getting any actually. have been lazy
