I m looking into the steel one, but glass those glass one, how do you feel about the glass lily?

Hey question: is it better to have generator system on larger -120L tank or no C02 at all? (there is no option close enought to me where i could refill co2 tank so generator seems to be only option)

Thanks for making this vedio, a learning for us.

I think I've seen that pipe at the Hustler Store

all my stuff is under a canopy, I guess for open top planted tanks it could be not so nice looking but they seem to cater more to tanks like mine I guess

Every time me or my freinds while learning had one filter, and cleaned it all with chlorinated tap water, on non planted tanks, crashed the entire system. Every single time. About 5 for me until I learned, then taught them to stop. Some of them wanted to quit the hobby until they figured it out.

How does this one compare to the 016? I know that one has a remote and 8 programmable light periods throughout the day.

Is all this trouble cheaper than than getting a standard 10lb bottle refilled at a carbonic company for 20 bucks 850 cu.ft ?

Great advice, when I was new to the hobby going away was my greatest concern but with time you learn to just leave the system be. Sinserg beat me to it, but congratulations on that elatine hydropiper carpet it looks fantastic.

This happened to me with my co2 generator except I set the bubble/needle valve where I wanted it (1.5+/-BPS) during the reaction, before maximum pressure. Basically just like you explained the pressure continuously rose until It was like 30BPS MORE THAN I COULD COUNT! Had a couple pelcos laying on their side and a few pea puffers rolling around on the substrate. Just like you I pulled the line to release psi, started a airstone to release that dissolved co2 to make room for the o2. Only thing I did differently was a water change. Even though it was risky to stress the fish out more by doing a water change, it helped tremendously! Anyway sorry to go on, just wanted to share my similar experience. Love the videos keep up the great work!!

That elatine hydropiper looks exquisite! lol thanks for the tips!

Huh. You got popped selling weed(s) then you have to go on "vacation" for a while... 🤔 Need money for ramen?

Hope you have a blast. 👍🏼. Unfortunately the Red Root Floaters and Pinnatifida didn't make it 😔 but the S Repens and Alternanthera Reineckii are doing good.

I wish you perform water fill test, fill a gallon with 1 and compare with the series see if it's 3x the speed with a timer

just a bit of advice even though you are filtering the water, i would still bypass the water hose and go directly to the faucet. i have noticed just from using different sources it does still affect the taste. granted my knowledge is city water vs well water.

Out of the old, comes the new.! Hope theyre doing well

Thank you for the update 😊. I cant wait to see your future projects 😊

Im not on the (Beneficial bacteria bandwagon😂) is the quote that got me onto your channel!!! Been watching ever since!!! Have a great time away✌️

I have well water so I need to reduce my water hardness (the GH is so hard it consistently reads at the max most test kits read at) but I also need some hardness to keep cherry shrimp. What ratio do I use to keep my tank water at an ok level?

Have a nice vacation! Good luck with future projects!

Will be patiently waiting and I hope you have an awesome vacation.

Does co2 2L tank works for a 60 gallons fish tank ..???

Thank you for showing buying the container of Purigen and putting it in bags yourself. I've only bought the pre-done packets so far and have several. Time to buy the container and do it myself 🙂

Hey, brother, you doing ok? Did the feds bust you? You gonna make more videos? Inquiring minds want to know.

Very helpful video but … a milliliter is equal to a gram only when measuring water. Since Purigen is less dense than water, a milliliter is probably more like half a gram.

Received my RO buddie late last week. It's up and running into a reservoir thanks to your testing and easy to understand video, many thanks! Been going through your channel, excellent content!

Fair, great video.

Old video but now that that canister seems to be sold out everywhere do you have a suggestion for something scimilarly priced that would do the job?

Great video. Even I can follow :0) Anyone know about chloramines? Curious best way to test for it.

Any alternative like this for the fx6?

Isn’t it better to get a skimmer that attaches to the in take so the water can be filtered instead of throwing it back in circulation just like that?

I always clean my filter with tap water, but I clean it every three months.

try an airstone

i find that moss prefers a mature tank. co2 is very helpful. cooler water. and in newer tanks floaters.

I put purigen in my HOB filter and the next morning all my fish died. WTF !!!

Im confused about the timer and how it works, when it says 6 hours is that 6 hours of darkness or six hours of light? I need to know because I am leaving for two weeks

Hi ......Not nurii, it's Crypt Wendtii Brown!

Congratulations on the 1K!!!

Great video! I needed a refresher, and I'm planning to use this for hydroponics soon. Regarding the 4:1 waste ratio: I had a boss who worked in the water filtration industry at an engineering level. He explained to me in detail how to build RO systems using inexpensive components and pointed out that these systems are often sold with a high markup. Pro tip: You can take the waste water and either cycle it back into the main input or, if I remember correctly, directly into the RO membrane itself. By installing an adjustable valve on the waste/recycle tube, you can control how much water is discarded as waste and how much is cycled back. Think of it like a T-valve in a recycling loop-though you’ll still need some waste output, as it can’t be reduced to zero. The tradeoff here is between water quality and the lifespan of the RO membrane. In areas where water is expensive (like California), or if you're off-grid and cycling rainwater, this setup can help conserve water. However, if you're filtering pond water or dealing with poor water quality, recycling may not be practical. From what I remember, city tap water is generally fine to recycle, but dirtier sources are less ideal for this method. Alternatively, you can skip recycling and simply use the adjustable valve to control the waste flow, which increases water output. Again, the tradeoff is between water quality and the increased wear on the RO membrane.

Is this safe not to crack the glass

Are these clipped to the glass or edge of tank

I wonder if my APi has lost its effectiveness. My water is still cloudy and I use the normal dosage with fresh filter floss. Used to clear up in hours.

You have a scale. 900ml of water is 900g.

i forgot the filter what now?

Very interesting and informative video about CO2 regulators! Congratulations! Overall, your channel is one of the most interesting in the aquarium hobby. Keep up the great work! Wishing you all the best! :)

I have the fx2, wish they had 24mm pipes to fix this problem. The hoses on the fx2 are worse, they do not even have pipes. thx for sharing
