Hi guys I'm newbie and mind asking some questions?
 1.) What are the differences between T5,T5HO and T8? 2.) How many watts do I need if I were to form thick and dense glosso carpet in 2 feet tank? 3.) Does diy co2 provide the same co2 to the tank? 4.) Is 360lph flow rate good for 2 feet tank? Would be happy if any sifus can help out..  |

QUOTE(weijie @ Jan 10 2013, 09:55 AM) 1.) What are the differences between T5,T5HO and T8? Oic. Thanks for answering. HO=high output, T5 & T8= different technology to built florescent light . from good to bad, T5HO > T5 > T8 2.) How many watts do I need if I were to form thick and dense glosso carpet in 2 feet tank? read my blog. i got some information about light wattage over aquarium volume. 3.) Does diy co2 provide the same co2 to the tank? DIY co2 and pressurize co2 tank provide same co2 source to aquarium. but DIY co2 very troublesome since you need to change the remedy every one or two weeks. 4.) Is 360lph flow rate good for 2 feet tank? calculate your aquarium water volume. filter rate shall be about water volume/6. meaning the filter shall cycle your whole aquarium water 6times in 1 hour.   |

Guys LFS here charging me RM130 for Shiruba XB303 and RM 150 for E-jet 3368. Which one is best recommended for 2 feet(15 gallon) with factors such as quality/price, noise and flow rate(360l/h vs 700l/h) taken into account?

Guys I'm new in this hobby and I'll be getting a co2 tank with manual reg. Mind asking is it a good way to on/ off main knob or manual reg? if not can I run it 24/7 and during night time turn on control valve in another T-splitted hose to minimize co2 in night?

QUOTE(kurangak @ Mar 10 2013, 03:52 AM) sure can... but ull be wasting alot of co2 then...diffuser provide 'some' resistance to gas flowing out while...well... it is probably minimal but it still matter... as derrick say, buy auto regulator n mate it with timer , or if u want to save, DIY your own regulator... just my 2 cent  Thx for the kind replies. Will start saving for solenoid.  |
