No reason not to start on day 1. It is not going to hurt and you may as well get on your dosing schedule.

Water column fertilization is vital for many plants.

Hey all,

Well, the experiment in the last post was a complete failure :) Had more c02 and growth/algal issues and decided to start over.

Basically, gave the rocks an excel bath and scrub,...

Hey all,

Well, Tom kinda sorta mentioned that after the rescape and new ADA that my 220 cannot have fish/critters for several weeks. Since I only have a 57 gal to house the 300+ fish, and that...

Jeff Senske at ADG in TX, USA had some recently. Enough to satisfy a 5 case order :) I sourced from Tom but this was only last week.
He was really nice and professional. I would urge you to try...

Yes, these did well in my 180 with room to grow in a 24" tall tank. Stems got thicker than a #2 pencil and the diameter/color was really impressive. Beautiful plant....they do grow quickly given...

I also adjusted the light and c02 schedule based on recent reading and observation...

I noticed today that the ludwigia, limnophila, and hottonio started to open their leaves by 11 am. Wisteria...

So........moving along slowly..

1. Tom has sourced 15 x 9 litre bags of ADA Amazonia new. 5 cases.

2. I have decided to go with the lava rock instead of the sieryu stone. Easier to manage and...

Greg,

Too soon to say as I JUST planted them :) I got approx. 75-85 a bit above mid water. So you have perhaps 75 where you get good color? I remember using that and higher and this plant did...

Hey all,

I have been struggling a bit with my 57 gal. I took an objective look (again) at it today and realized I had very little bio-mass. So I did the following:

1. Removed a lot of the ET...

This is all true. However, when purchasing components you are selecting each component usually from a different vendor. A solenoid can be cheap to expensive, but that usually corresponds to the...

Hi,

I am glad you are working with Matt. He did a great job (10 or 10) on my build. Has worked flawlessly now for 2 years + iirc. We used the victor 1993 you linked to above for my build. I then...

Hey,

Will be following with interest. Is the regulator model choice due to the 6 NV and that is has sufficient pressure to drive all 6?

I know they will be happy with your build for sure....I...

Simply due to the 'yuck' factor and the lack of specific nutrient analysis of the bird poop in question (does it vary per species?), I would not do this. How will it be prepared and stored? Is it...

The Apogee should work fine for the majority of applications. No need for an expensive Licor meter...

Welcome aboard. Any specialty in your field or special areas of interest?

What kind of fish do you keep?

Vaughn,

Great job and documentation. Thanks so much for this. I don't understand 90% of it but others will :)

I made it a sticky as well. Do you have any pics of the build?

Thanks!

Hi,

Please note that drop checkers can be pretty useless in determining sufficient and stable c02 levels :)

as an example, they are on a time delay for between 2-4 hours AND they are usually...

Hey,

So sorry to hear about all of this....not surprised the leasing office wants no part of the damages...

How did the ELOS ato pump suffer???? I don't get this for high temps, sorry.

Hi,

Sounds like things are coming along...I hear you on waiting for parts and such.....

A few questions if I may:

1. Does the 2" pipe go from tank to sump?
2. Do you use unions or gate...

Hi HJ,

Tanks looks great and better all the time......I like the rainbows very nice fish...

So long as YOU like it, is what is important.....

Glad to hear things are well with the tank....

I have that combo on BOTH my regs...great products...never a problem in 2 years so far....the NV especially is nice to work with...

How about:

1. You gain the valuable experience building one and understanding more about each component and how they work as a unit.
2. You control the QUALITY and COST of each component to...
