Any limit to CO2 in a fish-free tank?
I've rescaped my main tank, and that included adding enough new Aquasoil that I moved the fish to temporary quarters to let the ammonia settle down. While the critters are off premises and I'm trying to get the plants started off right, I jacked up the CO2 so that my drop checker is a nice pale yell...

Re: C02 System - List of Items Needed
I go to Laurel Bottled Gas. 20 pound tanks owned by the store are the way to go. No hydrotesting, no waiting, and you get the priceless feeling of being a regular.

Re: Sticks
Fool around with things in a dry tank, with or without substrate. Look at pictures and how-to videos on the net for inspiration, but don't get too bogged down in doing it right the first time (says the person guilty of doing that EVERY TIME). Remember that wood creates shaded areas, and that plants ...

Re: February meeting
I plan on being there too. I may bring a massive load of driftwood. My "may" is far more likely than Viktor's.

Re: July meeting
I'd like to go, and I'd carpool. What's the timing?

Re: Simple Macro Mix
I'll run this recipe in my autodosers...if Ghazanfar brings Calcium Nitrate and Magnesium Nitrate to the next meeting. I only use KNO3 and KH2PO4.
I have lots of extra dosing bottles if anyone wants 'em.

Re: What algae is this and how do I KILL IT
For what it's worth, I seem to have dealt with most of the issues by turning off the fertilizers. That means my hairgrass is moribund but I think it's a fair trade given how much I've been traveling.

What algae is this and how do I KILL IT
This is in my main tank and, for scale, that is a small anubias leaf. It got started under high light and fertz. Since then I backed off the light and the fertz. Its growth has slowed but I can't seem to get rid of the existing stuff--it isn't growing on new plant growth, but it is pretty tenacious ...

Re: Riparium plants
Probably not going to be at the meeting unfortunately. I'm solo parenting and the kiddos have other ideas for Saturday.
