Algae Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Been busy setting up a planted tank and while it has been fun I really love reef tanks and need to get back to my somewhat neglected reef tank. Reef tanks are just more dynamic IMHO. The nano powerhead is for the Torpedo Barbs. They are from the high, fast rivers of India and love to play in fast currants. Time to prune. Growing very fast with fertilizer and CO2! All plumbing in garage: Tiger Lilly. A number of leaves are sitting on the surface now: My DIY carbon reactor: CO2 has worked great for me: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellowithgills Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 How much co2 are you using? I lost all of my roseline sharks when I started dosing co2 at 3bps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algae Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 I am right around 3 bps out of standard .177 ID line in 60 gal. I have my controller set to shut off CO2 after lights are out. I know what you mean about Roselines, Micah! They are notoriously sensitive to oxygen depletion. I am good for the last two months. My CO2 indicator is always green. So far so good...

Derbird Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Very nice planted tank (clap) I like having both fresh and salt tanks. They both offer a diffrent aspect to the aquaitic world. Plus I have had most of my fresh fish for 5 - 8 years so I'm pretty attached to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Welcome back! I was wondering what you were doing after building that stand. I always think about setting up another planted tank but luckily I never do. You did, and now you are stuck with a lot of weed in a nice glass box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forum has not been the same since you slipped off the radar.... Planted tanks don't really do it for me either... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I began steelhead fishing because I followed them from the ocean to the river. Welcome back! I was wondering what you were doing after building that stand.
