Hi Sifus,
Wanna ask here; do you all keep the CO2 on when the light goes off? I read in the internet and someone mentioned the CO2 should be on 24/7 to keep the level consistent. |

QUOTE(kevin613 @ Jan 5 2017, 03:31 PM) your plants dont consume co2 when they are not photosynthesizing, so why waste co2? Thanks for all the replies.in fact, when your plants stop photosynthesis, they will start to utilize o2 inside the tank. so if you have any live stock inside the tank, the extra co2, and low o2 will make them suffer. if i keep my co2 running overnight, by morning i can see all my shrimps struggling near water surface.. so in order to keep them happy, i run my airpump when lights are off. so what i did with my tank is : lights off, co2 off, airpump on.. lights on, co2 on, airpump off.. My concern is the inconsistency of the CO2 level which might harm the fish. http://aquaticconcepts.thekrib.com/Co2/co2_faq.htm#T06 "Don't shut the CO2 off at night in a manual system. Many people assume you have to turn off the CO2 at night because the plants won't be using any and too much will build up in the aquarium. This is not true. Much more CO2 is lost to atmospheric diffusion than is used by plants. If you turn the CO2 off at night, the water will return to equilibrium levels by morning. This has two consequences: it will take longer to get the CO2 level back to optimum and the pH swings between day and night will be much greater, stressing your fish." But after reading from the replies, I supposed overdosage of CO2 is more harmful than the fluctuation of CO2? |

QUOTE(usmanjailani @ Jan 6 2017, 02:23 PM) the term to look at is manual system..since using manual system could bring inconsistency in co2 intake by the tank..u might on co2 on 4pm today, but maybe something can comes up tomorow and u only manage to on the co2 on 8pm..but by using solenoid on timer, there will be consistent amount and time so the fish can adapt with the changing hopefully.. Ok thanks. |

Just want to run a quick survey of what type of lighting all of you use?
Fluorescent, spot light, LED, etc? |

QUOTE(fookie @ Jan 19 2017, 11:45 AM) DIY is for really low tech / maintenance tank. Suggest you spend more moolah to get a manual regulator. Like what the other sifus mentioned before, just let it run at low bps all the time. If you have unstable co2 levels in your tank, algaes are inevitable. I decided to only ON the CO2 when the lights on. Killed all my fish when I tried 24/7 few weeks back despite very low bps. ![]() |

QUOTE(Punanister @ Jan 19 2017, 07:55 PM) It's the D-501 CO2 "system". I'm planning to just use it temporarily as I was able to acquire also a 2L tank. Mind sharing what's the brand of the lighting and where to get it?Just for tempo use and when I ran out of CO2 n the tank. No. I was fortunate enough to find branded ones. but it's not enough (plus I haven't really got it yet. Waiting for salary. Hehehe!) But if in case I need to go DIY to add more lighting, I'd go for the flood lights. |
