Testing with ghost shrimp is useless, they are just toooo hardy, and they will eat all your stuff.. Better start with cherries as Michanz's advice ! Make sure u cycle water proper before u get cherries, otherwise U r just wasting money..

i tatau maa
i also wanna rescape my 2ft tank
but i very lazy



use cable tie to tighten it
my co2 vacuum hose also keep popping out from the check valve
at last i use small cable tie to tighten the fitting

in fact solenoid is cheap in long term
last time when using manual regulator, my co2 dosage 24/7
1 month plus sudah habis 2kg capacity
now using solenoid regulator, can last for 4 months plus

Also help from strong light

@loon...

when wanna upload ur tank full picture?

already got strong light, and ample Co2 supply also...
my tank only does the pearling for a couple of days, but now it does not do much.. only can see some bubble on the tip of the Christmas moss..
got some algae formation too...but i got otto an algae eater to take care of that... my water is clear... but im not sure of the nitrate level in the water..
because i just top up the water every day because it dry up very fast..
do you think that i need 20 - 40% water change?

im using manual regultor, 1bps 8hours - 10hours daily, plants pearl like mad.. its been 2months my 0.5l tank never even dropped yet the reading!
forgot to mentin that
do water change, 20% t0 40% weekly! during the week top u, every sunday do wc

ok, will try that, im currently using diy CO2.. may i know the price for presurize CO2 tank.. and where to buy and refill it... it is worth it..?

Edited Cause Dont wanna Spoilt The Market

i see.. how long will the 2kg last, if using 1 bubble per sec?
where to buy it?

CO2 prodcued by DIY is not concentrate enough... and not stable supply of CO2 IS the main problem

1 bps, don so stingy ma....

lol, maybe because of the not stable CO2 supply..
My tank is not that big so i think 1 bps is enuf
maybe ill ty to increase it later

dont simply control the output of DIY co2, your coke bottle cant last certain pressure.

dont break, your room would be full of sugar yeast water.

Erm...bro Freestyler...can i ask where u buy the tank with that price?And where u go refill with that price too?Cuz i only get expensive ones..maybe can go to the place that u recommend...thanks!!!

Yup.. The coke bottle wont take much pressure but i'm sure the co2 production in my DIY reactor is not that high..
