Is that the same as crazy glue?

check out rapidled.com they have some real nice diy led kits.

I'm actually in the proccess of buiding my own diy led lighting fixture . I've been doing alot of research on this topic and they say led lighting is just as good as t5/t8 lighting, some even say its better.

THANK YOU DR. ROB!!! I didnt know that was an in line valve, I guess I'll have to look in the clipper valve instead.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A JBJ CO2 REGULATOR AND THE NEEDLE VALVE SUCKS!!! I CANT REGULATE THE CO2 AT ALL, ITS VER FRUSTRATING. IM WONDERING IF I CAN FIT A FABCO NEEDLE VLAVE INSTEAD, IS IT POSSIBLE?

yea man its your wood. you should take it out in put it in a bucket for a week, keep changing the water in the bucket till it stops dyeing the water.

Bump

Sorry for the super late reply!!!! My KH reading is 125.3 ppm or 7 drops and my GH reading is 143.2 ppm or 8 drops. I also have Dwarf Sags, Crypt Balansae, Java moss, Java fern, bannana plant and Ludwigia repens. Im dosing 1/2 table spoon of potassium nitrate, 1/4 table spoon of mono potassium...

The lighting is a 48 inch power compact light, my filtration system is a 405 fluval canister filter. I inject co2 and is set up with a co2 reactor powered by a Hagen 50 powerhead. I recently added spray bar and ran it along the back/bottom of the tank. The spray bar is connected to the diffuser...

I have a 55 gallon tank with about 2.4 wpg but my bulbs are 50% 10,000K and 50% 460nm actinic. Im wondering if I change the bulbs to only 6700k will it make my plants healthier? The reason Im asking is because my amazon swords are dying off, I been using the EI method but its not working......

Man I wish I had a local hydroponics store!

that site is good too! That combe deal is sweet!

I been wondering if I can run a Fluval 405 and 105 and share the same intake hose (water coming from the aquarium). I have a 55 gal tank and I want to use the 105 canister to run the co2 reactor as well as a spray bar, while the other 405 canister just helps in water movement. Think this could...

Dude your the man!!!

Does anyone know where I can buy fertilizers in the US stated in the EI ? I tried the Greg Watson link and I still can't find where he gets them. Thanks

lmao......i dont know why i find this so funny

I have a pressurized co2 and the fertz is tropica plant nutrition +. Thing is that it hasn't arrived yet, I ordered it like a week ago! I noticed another error I made, leaving the lights on for too long. I'm going to do what AC suggested start with 6 hours and work my way up. I'll keep you guys...

i guess my error was not dosing ferts right away, i ordered the tropica nutrition 500 ml bottle, is that enough or do i need more??

I'm a little confused now, you guys are contradicting each other.........

do the 30% water change daily for a week? I bought some cherry red shrimp to help out.....

oh sorry about that, my tank size is 55 gal with 2 inches of eco- complete substrate, i ordered a 500ml bottle of tropica plant nutrition it still hasnt arrived. The plants and co2 have only been set up for about a week.

Im starting to wonder if the lighting setup i have is too much for my plants and causing algae growth. The lighting fixture i have is 2 x 65W bulbs SmartPaq 10,000K/460nm half white and half acentic. The plants i have are dwarf sags, crypt balansae, java moss , java fern, banana plant, amazon...

well i got my hands on the crushed coral, i put it in a media bag i found at my lfs and dropped it in my canister filter. I checked the PH levels the next morning and i now have a reading of 7.0, after that i set up my co2 system and added all my plants and did another test which gave me a...

ok i know after adding the crushed coral my Ph should rise (hopefully) back to normal, but wouldnt i be back to square one after i start injecting co2 for the plants??

hey im actually in the same situation as u, i found media bags for the crushed coral at petsolutions. com i think it will work better than a sock....

Any sugestions where I can find some crushed coral, I doubt any of my lfs would have any.

Hey BTT how are ya? Well I thought we did solve the problem when I introduced the bicarbonate of soda. My Ph readings from tap water is 7.4, one thing I have to admit but don't think has nothing to do with the carsh is that I never cleaned out the canister filter after the fishless cycle. I...

In the middle of my fishless cycle I got a PH crash, I used bicarbonate of soda and that seem to do the trick for the rest of the cycle. After I did the 90% water change I replaced my substrate with eco-complete substrate. I planted a bunch of plants and bought a pressurized co2 system, but...

Well I don't even know what solution it came with, I'm gonna try the api low ph and I'll see what happens, thanks guys!

The drop checker I bought says to use 7 drops of there liguid and 5 ml of 4 dkh but is yours way better? And not to be complaining but why hasn't this guide been pinned??

Hey can I use the low ph test liguid from my API kit as bromothymol blue or is it the same thing?

sweeeeet !!!! Thanks!

Im wondering if I have to rinse out the substrate (Eco-complete) befor I put it in my tank or should I just put it in directly like it stats on the bag?

Its a 20 gal tank, i have 4 mollies 4 loaches 1 dwarf gourami and 1 betta. When i noticed the mollie had the fungus i quarintined her right away and did a water test but everthing was normal, the next day i noticed it on the betta and took him out and placed him in with the mollie. I then did a...

Before my betta got infected one of my ballon mollies had the fungus to begin with. A day after I started to treat the mollie I noticed the fungus started growing on the betta too! So I quarintined both of them in a 10 gallon tank, after 5 days both fish where cured. After about a day the fungus...

cooooool !!!! what would you recommend for starting out? use the tropica plant nutrient or the EI ??

are there any products in the market that have all the nutrients the EI suggest all in one bottle?

Yea I'm sure, the male has one fin that kinda looks like a stick or straw, and the female has two fins at the bottom of her belly.
