hehee..

u can compare both

1st is the atomizer or super diffuser, not normal ceramic one



2nd is inline one



basically u wanna dissolve the co2 gas b4 they reach water surface and get wasted, with inline diffuser, the co2 gas travel in lily pipe, dissolve rate is usually higher than normal in tank ceramic diffuser

u can DIY if u want

goshhhh...1000 shrimp tank

hehee.. its actually video of a breeder in China, having 1000 tank full of shrimp

u dun need to buy whole bottle of 5 element... just need few scoop only... under RM30 for 2ft tank if i not wrong .. hahaha

its not a necessary thing but its good to have, so allocate ur budget accordingly lo

i usually just set my timer from 12 - 8:30pm

if u have 2 tube or more, then can set them to on one by one...

if ur light is high power or too bright, sudden on-off will cause stress to ur fish/shrimp

tank update 8/11, waiting for my DIY ECA from taiwan to boost hair grass growth...heheee

try nego with lfs and give them back i guess

too cruel la if throw them away ... huhuu

@newgen, sorry didnt on my msn last night i am on now.. hahaa

must keep them under control if not remove all

they can reproduce by themselves because snail are dual-sex (forgot whats the scientific name d)

1 or 2 snail is good for ur substrate

huhuuu.. pain in the @s* when u wanna trim riccia

although its nice to see them pearling

moss is sensitive to excel

usually i will close the main valve on tank, then open the valve on manual regulator, diffuse all the gas between regulator and hose first until meter reading is zero, remember dun straight cabut the regulator if ur meter still showing some reading, if no u might get a big "pop" sound ... just my personal preference

what brand u got ? my indicator no need to add aquarium water cal-aqua

actually the correct step is to add 4dkh water bcoz aquarium water contain different PH, minerals that might affect the reading

there are few articles online on DIY 4dkh solution, try google it
hmmm.. u can buy cal-aqua co2 indicator liquid without the glassware no need to add anything, just use and keep it fridge .. hehee
or as per weijie earlier, test ur solution whether they react to co2 or not, some might expired d or turned bad after shop keep them for too long

yes, dun use normal sillicon hose, u dun wanna try that, its damn loud i kena one time b4
so get proper tubing example pu material, and if u using atomizer, get better one, as atomizer need working pressure above 30psi
for check valve, try see u can find stainless steel one or not, or some brand got double check valve in one piece
