Sounds good!

Now start posting pictures of that tank!

Re: Help with CO2 setup (Please!)

Okay, well, until I can do that without being embarrassed...

Just imagine a box that holds about 2.5 gallons of water. Then imagine the color green. All over. That's my tank!    You can kinda see some HC starting to fill in, and some marsilia, and occasionally a betta and a nerite. But the rest is all algae.

I'm hoping now that the steady CO2 and new ferts regimen will remedy the problem.

Pressurized co2 on a 2.5g?

SWEET!

now tell him you have 70 watts of MH over it & he might just shed a tear

Re: Help with CO2 setup (Please!)

As soon as the new anemone tank settles I'm thinking something along the lines of 150wMH+2x96wPC's....

I am just waiting for the day that EK installs an under water light in his tank -- ie puts like 300watts of light NEXT to the anemone... ie no need for heating of the tank... lights will resolve that problem :P

Re: Help with CO2 setup (Please!)



So, what size is the anemone's tank?

(spyke - I didn't have the heart to tell him it's only 18W of PC...)

It's the Oceanic 30g cube with 15g sump.....tank has 250wMH+4x24wT5HO's

Re: Help with CO2 setup (Please!)

I would, too, if I had to stare at 250W metal halides during the day!  

Hey, ek - Are the 24W T5s over the 30 cube? How do they look? Do they hang off a bit on the sides?

Re: Help with CO2 setup (Please!)

Yeah it hangs off a bit but it's no biggie.

I wanted the 250wMH but also wanted the T5 "pop" when it came down to actinics so I gave some to get some...
