Good deal!

22 ppm is good for a planted tank. I wouldn't worry about getting higher than that until you upgrade your lighting. You can get a CO2 system for about $100 US. A good lighting system is alot more than that.

I typed in "Kelvin rating" on my search engine and this was an article on the first page rankings.

I'm no expert but from what I understand about DIY yeast reactors is the more yeast that you add the faster the output and the more suger you add the more food available for the yeast so th reactor lasts longer. Also the reactor works better in harder water hence the baking soda (Sodium...

I found this and thought it was interesting. KELVIN (K) Measurement of light temperature. Every color can be plotted on the Kelvin scale in degrees. High temperature = cooler (bluer) light. Low temperature = warmer (yellow/redder) light. Outdoor Light Source: 8000K - Snow, water, blue sky...

I heard that eco-complete had to recall a bunch of bags because they were contaminated or something.

Hi laurasmithuk, I've been doing the "siesta" or "thunder storm period" for about a year now and haven't had an algae problem since then. The lights come on for 5 hours then turn off for two and then come back on for another five. From what I understand this break in the light doesn't give the...

Hey Dave, I have a 72 Gallon and I use 1 teaspoon of yeast , 1 cup of suger and a teaspoon of baking soda, my CO2 stays between 30-35 ppm. I'm not sure if the baking soda is making the difference but for some reason one 2 liter bottle is more than enough on this tank. I leave it hooked to my...

A 55 gallon is only 12" wide a 75 gallon is 18" wide. I think this is a 75 but I could be wrong.

Hygro is really good, unfortunately it is illigal in Georgia, USA but I still managed to get my hands on some. Awesome plant!

Thanks for the replys. Now I'm confused because I read somewhere that the wattage per gallon rule was originally adopted for the regular fluorescent tubes also .03 watts of a compact fluorescent were equal to 1 watt of a fluorescent tube and that a spiral compact has an even greater output...

Hi, This is my first post on this forum and I could use some feed back on a lighting idea. I have a 72 gallon bow-front with 160 Watts of light. Here is my idea and I would appreciate all input from the emensley experienced. :/ I am planning on building a hood for my planted tank that will...
