Re: Cleaning sponges in tap water v aquarium water
I also boil my filter floss probably once a month. If ur using a clarifier/buffer u need too they work as a like a binder and all the small particles get bound together and then the filter floss collects them. If u don’t replace or clean ur floss it will become saturated, and won’t work propoerly.

Re: Cleaning sponges in tap water v aquarium water
This will be probably be disagreed with, but IMO you shouldn’t be relying on sponges for BB, I clean mine monthly, like rinse and squeeze in warm water. You BB in my opinion should be enough in ur mechanical filter. Sponges are their to filter water/waste not for a BB store, I’m not judging anyone b...

Re: Installed a CO2 injection system 1 week ago….
I think with an exchange at Sainsbury’s it works out at £13, I like the soda stream canisters cause they are small, I think of the wife knew I had a CO2 canister gently leaking gas into my fish tank she would have a word to say to me lol. Someday when I can have a room with 5-6 tanks I think moving ...

Re: Installed a CO2 injection system 1 week ago….
Might be worth a try before I go back to just rocks and sand as not getting along with plants at all Will l simply say, and we all know this, plants need CO2 to thrive. Yes you can grow plants without it but honestly I don’t think it’s worth it and I’m pretty sure a lot of content creators are lyin...

Considering how much liquid CO2 is, after the initial hardware buy in, I don’t think so. Again it’s not just the plant growth I’ve noticed, my tank is much cleaner.

Re: Installed a CO2 injection system 1 week ago….
Thanks for the pics. I have been toying with the idea of a cheap set up. It looks good what you have done so far. Again it’s only been a week, and I was pretty scared of a pressurised CO2 canister but then if you have a soda stream you have the same thing. I’m making a wooden holder to *hide* the t...

Smart plug for CO2, one for heater and pump, one for lights, one for air stone.
