I'm bored too...not feeling well also... I got 1 question... if i wanna setup an iwagumi tank, do i need to plant the fast growing stem plant first to control algae outbreak? after the water stabilized, then gradually change the plant to hairgrass..

Well, would try that  Added on March 24, 2010, 4:58 pmso chuppy, you advice is to get cheapo stem plant first , then gradually go to iwagumi setup with grass only? This post has been edited by Adremier: Mar 24 2010, 04:58 PM

When you make a hole in the lid, make sure that the hole is slightly smaller than the air tube.. so the CO2 wont leak out.
and did you put the yeast in hot water? is the yeast is recently bought or a left over?

I think i know what bottle did you mention just now.. for my opinion, that bottle is not suitable because i dont think that it is air tight. better buy some coke, drink it and convert it to become your co2 reactor.. plus, coke bottle will hold more pressure.. because it is originally designed to hold such pressure..
maybe we have to wait 1 or 2 week before putting any fish.. let your aquarium cycled properly first..

hehe.. i think you did the correct way.. maybe it is because you bottle or you broken diffuser.. i think you better unwrap it first. divide it into small groups and plant it... but before, i just put them in with out unwrapping the sponge.. it look ugly later... lol.. well, you may ask other sifu here for more proper advice

bubble counter is just to measure you co2 production..
Added on March 25, 2010, 5:32 pmto prevent water to get into your CO2 tank, find a check valve..
