    I've always wanted to get into CO2 but pressurized cans in a house with a curious bird and dog seemed a little iffy to me and the price really drove me away. Last time I was in my fish store I noticed that fluval has a bio CO2 product out that uses yeast and sugar but still allows you to control...

    So I've noticed my 307 (sometimes my 207 but not near as often) has flow issues. Everything will work fine, then a week or so later there's hardly any flow coming out of the spray bar. So I tried sitting the canister on a raised platform to be higher and shorten the tubing - doesn't work. Made...

    There's numerous videos out there on "hacking" more media capacity into your Fluval FX Canister filter by leaving out the red media baskets in the center of each of your Main (White) Media baskets. I did this, gaining a nice amount of additional media capacity, but, was wondering why the heck...

    I wanted better control over the Plant 3.0 lights than what the phone app allows. So I sniffed some of the bluetooth traffic and recorded the commands the app was sending. Turns out Fluval or the BLE chip manufacturer uses some very basic encryption on the commands. A friend helped me out by...

    Well after being out of the hobby for 10years or more, thought i'd dip my toes back in again. Its funny because much has changed and yet so much still the same so will be interesting to see how this evolves. Tank Fluval Flex 15L (15G) Lighting Hygger Planted+ 24/7 14W Co2 & Ferts KegKing...

    is it worth it to go after a cheaper aquarium light. instead of spending more on a fluval or a finnex light, can you get the same plant growth results with a cheaper light company like Hygger or NICREW?

    Hello TPT people!! I recently grew a passion for this hobby and I am so happy that this community is here. I look forward to learning from everyone. I just installed this tank in my moms office about 1.5 months ago.

    Hi everyone, brand new to the forum about 6 months into planted tanks and just upgraded from a 37 gallon to a 75 yesterday. I’m in the process of setting up my new tank in a different area of my house so I can eventually transfer all of my current fish into new tank. I really want a canister...

    Hi, So I recently purchased a second hand Fluval Roma 90L. I set it up with my plants and away I went. 2 months later not much is growing at all. Everything surviving but not thriving. I've just looked at the tube lights and the original bulbs have been replaced with a (very) cheap LED...

    What lights would be recommended for Waterbox Clear Pro 7225 167G (72.3"L ×25.3"W ×23.6"H) tank. I'm planning to grow high-light plants using fertilizer and Co2. All the on-line reviews I'm seeing are pointing to the use of Fluval Plant 3.0 or the little know about Finnex Planted+ 24/7 ALC...

    Hello All! I have a 20 gallon Ultimate Nature tank that I planted 8 weeks ago. I filled it with water 2 weeks ago and purchased a Fluval CO2 cartridge system and set it up. When I turn it on I get like one bubble every minute or so. I have the valved turned all the way on -- any ideas on...

    Hello, to anyone who owns the Fluval Aquasky 2.0 and is running a relatively shallow tank (20G high). Have you had success with light hungry carpeting plants such as Glossostigma? I also inject CO2 and apply EI dosing. So far, my other plants are thriving, notably my Alternanthera Reineckii...

    Hi All, I have recently set up a new 2.6 gallon Fluval tank. It is housing my sick betta and then eventually a shrimp only tank. This tank is completely stock and pretty heavily planted. I'd like to know what plants have been successfully grown in this tank and any fertilization...

    I've been spending every waking moment planning out my next aquarium, and I've hit a bit of a roadblock choosing the canister filter. I was initially planning to use a single Eheim 2217, but I decided to upsize the tank a bit. With a 64g tank, the 2217 will only give me ~4x hourly turnover...
