Check out AquaticMagic on Ebay. I've bought a TON of stuff from him and it's always been top notch. He ships worldwide real cheap.

I run 2 separate units at a time. I change one per weekend. As one slows down the other is fresh and is picking up the slack. I think it helps me keep a more steady CO2 level. I've used it with and without the bicarbonate and noticed no difference at all. I use 1/2 tsp of yeast and the first set...

see my reply to the topic "getting a 5W helix UV".

I run a 9W UV on a freshwater planted tank. I run it 24/7 with absolutely no problems. Plants grow like mad and it WILL NOT affect your bio-wheel. I run mine on the output from a Fluval 204. If your using a HOB filter you will need to get some type of powerhead to run water through the UV...

Wow .50 cents. That would be a steal. I doubt however that if they are 50 cents that they are a true 'petite' nana. I could cut off a baby nana and call it a petite which is what your LFS may be doing. A true petite nana is a different variety altogether however it does look like a standard A...

You just gotta find what works for you. When I first started there was nothing I could do to stop Green Water outbreaks. I finally decided to get a UV sterilizer. I got a 9W Turbo Twist for my 30 gallon. Now my tank is clearer than my tap water. I strictly follow the Seachem dosing regimen. My...

I voted for E. N is a close second however I think the votes for N may not be as many if this were not near the Planted Tank subforum.

The moss balls do not just fall apart if that's what you mean. They hold together quite well. I did split one of them giving me the smaller ball that you can see in the front of the tank. The only thing you need to do with these is give them a good squeeze (like you do a sponge) when you are...

Thanks for the compliments. Those moss balls aren't as small as they look. They're all the size of a golf ball except the smallest looking one. I try to keep them stacked together but they move around on their own when they pearl heavily. That gets a little annoying but they are pretty neat to...

Tank has been setup about 6 months. Plants have been moved/added/deleted about 3 times til I finaaly was satisfied. It's still not perfect but it's a start. The Glosso was just added about a week ago after I got rid of my Riccia carpet. The rosy barbs wouldn't leave the riccia alone and were...

I have an airstone on a timer. I have DIY CO2 so I can't turn it off. My airstone comes on 1/2 hour after lights out and shuts off 1/2 hour before lights on.

So if I were to get a 2.5 lb bottle for a 30 Gal tank I would be good for a couple months? Wow That's better than I thought. Now it's getting real tempting to get rid of my DIY setup.

How long does a particular size CO2 tank last before requiring a refill? Please post your CO2 tank size and your aquarium size. I'll assume everybody aims for 30ppm CO2.

CO2 Reactor???? This thing looks like a bunch of junk to me. Seems to good to be true. If it were that easy everybody would have one.

I like it. The only thing I would do is fill in that back left corner with something tall.

They'll both fall to the Devils! Actually the Devils just put a good whoopin on the Sens recently.

There was a guy on another fish forum a while back that was talking about an Eheim replica. I'm pretty sure it's the one you're talking about. If it is he was very happy with it.

I don't know why everybody always bashes the Fluval's. I run a 204 and have absolutely no problems with it. It's whisper quiet, easy to clean and as versatile as any Eheim. I'm not saying the Eheim is bad. I've never used one myself but have friends with them. The Eheim pro's have a good rep but...
