Sorry to hear about the problems. You have to push through though! I'm really liking this tank. I like the denseness you have going.

Yeah, thanks! I still think there's something else going on with this CO2 setup, it seemed fine, but I've already run out of CO2, in less than a month. Considering the last fill-up lasted about 4 months, something is still wrong. Gotta have a leak somewhere, just gotta find it... In the meantime, I've got no CO2.

Make up a mixture of diluted washing liquid and use a spray bottle to spray around all the threads, fittings and anywhere there could be a leak. It sounds like it would be a pretty substantial leak, so it shouldn't be hard spotting bubbles expanding.

I'm a refrigeration tech and we use this method quite a lot when searching for leaks. I've heard that Windex (Australia's brand of glass cleaner) works really well for this purpose, so if you've got glass cleaner laying around, give it a go. Apparently it's a good consistency (non-diluted) for forming bubbles.

Looking good! I've never had the annoyance of plants growing too fast. I guess it's one of those things you want up until the time you have it....then you end up removing them completely. Haha.

Are you running an internal or external filter? I can't quite make it out. If it's external, you need to make yourself an inline heater
