I assume your CO2 is off at night, so can you tell us what your pH is first thing in the morning vs last thing at night before lights out when it should be at it's lowest? Also have you tested the pH of the water with no CO2 (ie collect some and shake it/let it sit) then test.

What are you current paramaters as far as kH, GH, and are you fertilizing similar to Tom Barr? Dry ferts followed by weekly 50% change? What kind of lighting are you using and what is your wpg and hours?

Hi Dmaaaaax. You can see some answer here.

I have a driver-ph regulator and that is why this all day to 6.3, at night I disconnected the CO2 and the pH rises to a maximum of 6.55.

A change in water 25% weekly and 2 / 3 are osmosis.

fertilized with the No3 1.22 mg / L day, Po4H2 0.8 mg / day, K 1.8 mg / L, Fe chelate 0.12 mg / L day, and an illumination of 6500 ° and 7500 º with an intensity of 3.8 w / g during 11 hours.

The water values are:

-Ph 6,3.

-No3 15 mg/L.

-Po4 0,4 mg/L.

-Fe 0,02 mg/L.

-No2 0 mg/L.

-Kh 3º.

-Gh 3º.

That does not sound like a lot of CO2 then if it only goes up 0.25 during the 13hrs that the light is off. Especially since you have 3.8wpg on it for 11 hrs. Ohh, are you using T5 lighting?

My tank goes from about 6.8 to 6.3 daily. That's a 0.5 difference. Maybe it is because I have more surface agitation than you? Your tank does look pretty calm. How are you pumping the CO2 into the tank after it's been through the reactor?

Lighting is Pl, the aquarium is 118.8 gallons and has a leak of 608 gallons per hour.

The reactor pump is 290 gallons per hour and has input 3.5 bubbles of Co2 per second.

Is Pl standard flourescent bulbs? Sorry not familar with that term.

What kind of returns are you using for that much water filtration? I am guessing you use a spray bar setup near the surface?

Saca · 06-26-2009, 12:35 PM

This is a bulb Pl:

The T-5 is better because its light is more profound, later I will change the bulbs Pl for a few tubes T-5 that give better results.

Yes, it's the same system that brought all Eheim filters.

Hard to change something that works that well. Kudos again. Since you are looking at changing lights...have you looked at the T5HO?

Saca · 06-26-2009, 01:31 PM

My aquarium has a height of 60cm (23.6 inches) it is very high for the bulbs Pl.

To Hemianthus callitrichoides upholstery with a light is very weak, That is why it is I want to mount T-5 tubes.

Here you can see that growth is done in looking for more vertical light:

More pictures of the fish in my aquarium.

DarkRevoultions · 07-10-2009, 04:43 PM

I love your pictures of the fishes

Especially the discus!! How do you clean your entire tank? Don't the plants ever float to the top? How many watts is the light?

Wow 118.8 gallons

I have a 10 gallon, 29 gallon and a 125 gallon tank. And my tanks aren't at ALL as beautiful as your tanks

Mine aren't very beautiful. I'd put C02 but my 29 gallon, 125 gallon, and 10 gallon tanks don't have any C02 injection into the tanks. Just Flourish and Flourish Excel. I have like 10 largest bottles of them all. And I also have different brands of plant fertilizer and altogether equals up to 50 bottles.

DarkRevoultions · 07-10-2009, 04:53 PM

What fish is that? Like the name?

DarkRevoultions · 07-10-2009, 04:54 PM

Also, this one too

Saca · 07-14-2009, 03:13 PM

The first is an Cockatoo dwarf cichlid

.

And the second is Gastromyzon zebrinus.

Saca · 07-14-2009, 03:17 PM

I'm doing is cleaning with a vacuum cleaner on plants tapizantes

.

And the light is about 3.7 watts per gallon.

petlover516 · 07-15-2009, 05:10 PM

dutch-style...first time i heard that kind of tank-but it is the most beautiful FW tank ive ever seen!

Lol don't get too hyped up about the BEST. There are tons of websites that have stuff as good as here

the only thing that I know that makes this forum the BEST is because of Chickadee and the members here, and including the moderators and the admins too

It's so amazing how this entire forum works together to deal with a crisis just like the Nike advertising

Are there going to be any new changes made to this forum soon? Like are there more members that are joining now?
