    Hey ya'll. I was just wondering about any specific kits or combinations of pressurized CO2 "kit" parts. I know CO2Art could hardly ever go wrong so a regulator from them is probably what I could get. I was wondering what you guys use on your own tanks. For reference I have a 15 gallon tank...

    Hey, I'm currently planning a discus tank for display. The tap water where I live has a slightly high ph of 7.8. To combat it I'm planning to use CO2 injection as that would also help the plants grow. If I reach 30ppm CO2 that should theoretically reduce ph .8 to 7.0. I'm however unsure of how...

    Hello - I am new to this forum. I've had a small aquarium for awhile, but am upgrading it to a larger one for more fish/plants. I will be having a CO2 line and have a few questions on valves. Are most people using solenoid valves on timers?
  4. Freshwater and Tropical Fish
    Wasn't really sure where to post this. But I got this CO2 set up earlier (Second hand and the guy I got it from didnt explain anything very well) so honestly I'm really confused by this "Control Wizard" I'm pretty new to the idea of a CO2 system, the only one I've used is the tiny Fluval one...

    Hello everyone! I am presently working on giving my tank a 'refresh'. This month marks 4 years since I first set it up. The key area I want to work on is improving the water quality for my plants. They have never really excelled and it is likely due to my pH steadily being around 8, and a lack...

    Anyone have any recommendations for an in line atomizer for co2 that will work for my cascade 1000? I've looked around and there doesn't seem to be any for 5/8 inch tubing and id like to avoid jerry rigging as much as possible.
  7. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    I'm ready to take the next and daunting step in my aquatic adventures. My tank is not overly planted but has enough plants to require some supplementary CO2. I have a tmc aquagro hobby set.

    I have a 29 gallon tank. Recently had an UGF, removed that. Small gravel substrate, DIY Co2. 200tgph hob filter, and finnex ray II (strong light). I wanted to try a planted tank. I don't mind doing the co2 I think some of the plants need it. Problem is my ph is so low. I think it is about 6 or...

  12. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Hey everyone, So my 20 gallon planted tank has been set up for around a year now. For the first few months or so, plant growth was minimal but noticeable (mostly the moneywort). I had significant cuts of water sprite and micro sword that never grew but slowly melted away. I have a few other...
