Re: 56 gallon aquarium setup complete
Cool. Need help with the CO2 system let me know. I have a Red Sea system on one of my tanks that came with a tank I bought about a year ago.

Re: 56 gallon aquarium setup complete
Need? Maybe not. Will depend on your lights, but CO2 will benefit your plants. I would use the system if I had it. Take those tanks up to a Dick's sporting goods and have them filled, unless they already are filled.

Re: 56 gallon aquarium setup complete
Nice! (I've got AmQuel too. If you use it, let me know how it works for you.) I'm using it but Nitrates are still showing. Susan said they will still show, but be less toxic.

Re: 56 gallon aquarium setup complete
CO2 all setup, huh? Check the drop checker at the end of your lighting period and if it hasn't gone green, you can bump it up a little for the next day. I wouldn't go much higher than 3bps until you get the 4dkh solution. If you have somewhat hard water and are using tank water instead of the 4dkh solution, you can get false readings on the drop checker and go higher than you need and conversly the same for softwater, except lower.
