Thanks for the link, I need a heartbeat for my tank. I noticed it doesn't come with a color card, can I just use the low range ph card I use with my Redsea freshwater test kit?

Ok thanks for clearing that up mrkookm.
I made a DIY co2 system as well but have yet to use it. I used two one gallon bottles instead and hooked both up together with plastic airline valves so that I would only use one bottle at a time and open the other when the other runs out. I only have one full of co2 atm. Maybe one day I'll decide to use it. I also made one of those powerhead twister type reactors but I haven't used it either. I recently got a cylinder so that I can make a pressurized system but I still need to get a regulator.

Very nice! The plants look very healthy

I tried setting up DIY CO2 once about a year ago, but did not have any luck with generating CO2. I'm not sure if it was the batch of yeast or what, but I haven't had time since then. I may give it another shot soon though
