Mine seem to love having bugger all surface movement so not too much oxygen in the water. They prefer the filter not being too powerful in my experience. Small and constant water changes seems to keep them happy and healthy. I would definitely get rid of the red eye tetras, another cheaper fish that is supposed to be a good dither fish and fry safe are black neons. That's what I'm using.

Skills.

Man

:cophot: Stunning pics as usual.

It is also highly irresponsible, especially if you think your fish have some sort of contagious disease.

I'm using daltons in a tank at the moment and it's working great.

Cavity search

How did the meeting go at carls jr?

Heavily planted, not really man you should be aiming for 30ppm of co2 no matter how many plants your using.

Even if you used an inline diffuser you would still install it on the output hose for the same reason, it would get blocked up pretty fast with crap and also with a diffuser you still yet microbubbles and if you had this inline before the canister/pump co2 will get stuck in the filter/pump and slowly wear it out as co2 is corrosive. I will take another pic soon of another tank where im running an inline diffuser, I actually really like them as I'm a sucker for a fancy bit of equipment. I also get better pearling running a diffuser over a reactor but I put this down to the microbubbles produced by the diffuser sticking to the plants where the reactor produces 0 bubbles.

Personally if you were planning on running more light I think you would need some form of co2, either diy, pressurized or dosing excel, if not you will more than likely get massive algae issues especially using a dirt base.

No, that small black tube on the left is the co2 line, ideally it should be as low down the reactor as possible so it has more flow going against it which slowly dissolves the co2. No microbubbles in the tank and better diffusion. The thing is using a ceramic diffuser is not really the best way to introduce co2 on a larger tank as a good percentage of the bubbles make it to the surface and release the co2 into the atmosphere instead of water, with the reactor set up the way I have co2 cant leave the reactor until it is fully dissolved. The only reason I can think of to have the reactor on the outflow is to keep it from getting full of gunk and fish waste, I have seen some fancy diy reactors though where they use it as a mechanical filtration chamber as well by filling it with either sponges or filter floss.

This is on the return from my filter, works great man minimal co2 loss and doesn't effect flow too much.

You just install it inline on the return flow hose. I'll take a pic of mine and show you.
