  1. 45 gal upgrade

    Well thanks to Shoggoth and others, I got the bug to upgrade my 45 gal to a 120 gal. 48x24x24. Pre-drilled with overflows.

    Not sure what fish and plants yet but am thinking angels or discus. Hardware will be as follows most likely, but subject to change lol

    If angels than lots of grass like plants and some nice fat leaved swords or aponogetons, or larger anubias for egg laying........I love the new strains they have!

    I will do a closed canister loop ...

  2. Happy Arizona Day

    Hi,

    I cannot believe I almost forgot to wish everyone a happy Arizona Day.

    I have read this is one of the biggest days for chocolate and flowers all year long, all over the country.

    It is quite amazing how many people celebrate Arizona Day!

    A little about me.

    I started here on the Barr Report as I suspect many did. For a couple of years I read and I asked a few questions, due principally to health issues I stopped and

  3. DIY CO2 reactor/surface skimmer

    I thought I would try this DIY project.
    Most powerheads can be modified in a similar fashion. The flow rate is about 60 - 80gph. Perfect for two 2 L. yeast generators.

  4. My DIY External CO2 Reactor

    Hi

    I thought I would share my DIY external in line CO2 reactor

    I made this, one afternoon in about 15min. It cost me about £15.

    I have made it so that the ends can be taken off, you can then fill it with some media to aid reaction, I'm using some CIRAX.

    I have used :

    Acrylic tubing 50mm diameter x 500mm length (I chose these dimensions due to other parts availability)
    2x waste end caps with access
    2x 15mmx1/2”
    ...

  5. The Ol' Gasbag

    Hi,

    The ol’ gasbag, Biollante here, given my lack of success on the forum-posting front I will try messing up blogging.

    I am going to write my observations over 50 plus years of fish and plant keeping. I am going to avoid advice. These are my experiences, nothing more.

    If it happens that I do something differently from you, you are under no obligation change what you are doing. If what I write makes you angry, please go away, that is okay, I am not trying ...
