Do you all have 2 CO2's for 1 aquarium? Replace with the backup when first one runs out? Or what is the better solution?

Nice try on your first Iwagumi tank, my first try was kinda fail due to unsuitable stones. Well, If i were you i will go for a dry run and ask for opinions before i start adding water.. |
