Thanks for the help. How do I know if Flourish Nitrogen is being dosed at proper levels? Will it show up as Nitrates on a test kit?

Thanks for the replies. I use Flourish products in my 29G. Should I be dosing nitrogen or purchase some dry ferts?

That looks really nice. How do you like the Finnex Ray 2? I have a Finnex FugeRay 20 on Spec V and it is doing a surprisingly good job of keeping my plants healthy.

Regular petroleum jelly would be fine. If the o-ring has been in the open and not in sealed packaging, it may have dried out and could need replacing. I had a canister that was put away for a while...

Does anyone know where to purchase a Spec V pump? I found a place online that sells part no A-16452 and states that it's compatible with the Spec 1, 2 and 3 but doesn't mention the V. Is this the...

Thanks for the replies. After Googling pictures of riccia, I'm pretty sure that's what it is. I removed it from the tank. Appreciate the help.

I'm using a Milwaukee MA 957 regulator and a SMS 122 pH controller. I've heard mixed reviews about the MA 957 but mine has been fine so far. You could use a timer instead of the pH controller. I just...

Sounds like a great build! I agree with Joey, though. You're better off skipping the Fluval CO2 and going with a 5lb tank and regulator/solenoid if you have the room. It seems expensive to start but...

Thanks for the advice. I have heard about folks putting some holes in the tube. I was leaning away from doing that since I feel the flow in the tank is not too strong but it still remains an option....

Have you turned down the flow by using the lever near the bottom of the pump? If I recall correctly, from the factory, the lever is at the far left position for highest flow. By moving it to the...
