your plants dont consume co2 when they are not photosynthesizing, so why waste co2?
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..

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..

I think everyone's switching into LED lights now.

Not really old-fashioned. But what I think is it's the energy consumption. More light for less cost or same light for less cost. SOmething like that. Hehehe!

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'm using 1-2 bps running 24/7 so far so no casualty. How many bps are you running?.

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.
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.

Will be picking up this 2 once salary is in. I got a pretty good deal also here in the pet garage sales. Hehehe!

Still clog...
But no algae seen on the ceramic surface

Greetings,

Would like to seek for some advice on how to rescape the plants into better order. Started this tank months ago and it looks very messy now.

Did you scrub the ceramic? under no circumstances, you should scrub the ceramic even with the thinnest bristle.

I learned my lesson last time. Ceramic diffuser became a stone bubble.
