If your solenoid and regulator are closer to the source (co2 bottle) there's no need to worry about the line bing under pressure when the lights are off, and makes a lot more sense from a practical...

No, along with the bio balls, the ceramic noodles, the coarse and fine white pad, you're set to go. I think eheim now sells the media with all its classic canister setups.

I wouldn't trade the eheim for anything else on the market. If you're having issues getting it going properly you should post a video, that way we can see how's it's being setup. It may be something...

It think you still have a leak. If the CO2 was full at the beginning of March there's no reason for it to run out now on a 10lbs. Have you checked the relief valve? On your CO2 tank it's the valve...

Take a spray bottle, add some dish soap, then spray. You're looking for moving bubbles, sometimes it's obvious and other times it not. But I'd say you have a definite leak somewhere. Ambient...

For a $140 investment, I'd say you got your money's worth in the 20 lbs cylinder alone, maybe it's time for a new and bettter regulator. I'm sure the working pressure gauge is toast. It's important...

I say 2213 :thumbsup: you can always reduce the flow if need be, better to go bigger than smaller.

I would probably go with a reactor over an inline diffuser, unless you were planning on using both - one on each canister. But any descently built reactor is a must on a tank that size.

I'd say you have a leak somewhere. I have three 10lbs tanks and none of them run out that quickly, they usually last about a year, sometimes a bit more. Have you tried spraying soapy water over the...

If you have a regulator with an adjustable working pressure then it should work fine. All the atomizer-style diffusers need more working pressure compared to regular diffusers.

If you're not doing CO2 then the marineland & fluval plant LEDs are overkill. Same with the finnex ray2. But the finnex fugeray would be a better option, it's basically low-med intensity.

I'd just make sure they send you one ready to be used with 110v and not the standard european plug for 220v (unless you're in the UK). But anything made by eheim is solid.

Increasing the CO2 is fine as long as you keep the lighting low. Once you up the lighting though you'll have to up the ferts too.

I'd look what kind of plants you want to put in there. That'll determine the kind of lights you'll need, and if you need co2 and ferts.
