I have used needle wheel reactors in the tank, but couldn't take the bubbles long enough to say if they are better or not. I have felt this was the case, whether using in-line atomizers (loved it at first and then couldn't stand the bubbles), Cerges or Griggs reactors. When the canister is clean, the Co2 is one thing, but as the cannister filter gets dirty, the Co2 will change. Part of the problem with this hobby is that sometimes the cause and effect seems obvious, but in fact there is really no way to know for sure if causative, correlative or just serendipity.īut anyway, I think that the major cause of various problems (read: algea) I have had over the years is a result of having the Co2 dependent upon the outflow from the filter, as Angus is suggesting above, especially with canisters. that anyone would care to take the time and trouble to offer regarding any or all of my current plan. I am wide open to any advice, and would be most appreciative of, any suggestions, criticisms, etc. The cost difference between the two aside, which of the two would be the better option for me and my setup? I'm also looking at GLA's "Ultimate CO2 (Two Stage) " system to use in conjunction with the diffuser/reactor, and using the largest CO2 tank that will fit in my aquarium cabinet.Īlso, these plans are not set in stone. I had been looking at the Aqua Medic 1000 CO2 reactor until I stumbled across the GLA "Atomic Inline CO2 Diffuser - 16/22 mm. The filtration system will consist of a Fluval FX6 canister filter driving a three-way manifold consisting of a Hydor inline heater, a Coralife 36W UV sterilizer, and some type of CO2 diffuser/reactor all in parallel. I am disabled, so I want this system to be as maintenance and carefree as possible. And I'll be using CaribSea Eco Complete (black) as a substrate. The tank will be moderately planted and dedicated primarily to a small shoal (8?) of Blue Pinoy Angelfish, along with some Otocinclus, panda corydoras, some suitable species of dwarf plecos, and some Malaysian trumpet snails.Īs for plants, I'm partial to the various Amazonian sword species, but would also like a few floating plants, along with some manzanita driftwood with Java moss (?) attached to it with monofilament line. I'm in the process of setting up an approximately ninety gallon, open-top tank with T5 HO pendant lighting (four - 48" bulbs that I intend to build into a wall. The signal can then be manipulated further by "Effects" such as distortions, filters, delays, and mastering plugins.I'm not sure if this topic should be posted here or in the CO2 forum, but since I'm a relative newbie to planted freshwater tanks (I'm a recently retired Marine Biology prof), I figure this is probably the most appropriate place. Signal synthesis is performed by "Generators" such as synthesizers, noise generator functions, samplers, and trackers.
