Marx, you added excel for algae prevention or additional carbon in the water for the HC?
Nice setup!Originally Posted by marx
Just wondering, is the cloudiness from the tank cycling or the micro-bubbles from the the Co2 atomizer creating a mist effect?
I guess the pearling in this case is probably more likely encouraged by the tank's higher Co2 BPS injection rate.
@gavan - not too sure. just some advice given by some fish shop owners
@urban - thanks! i guess is from the cycling. because even when co2 is off the cloudy is still there.
any idea what's your water temp? trying to do a 1ft cube with ADA soon and wondering what carpet to do
I see... yeah, it should clear up soon once the water parameters and bacteria population stabilizes.
very nice setup!
