  1. hey, thanks! can you give me a parts list that i can just give to the store and check if they have it there? Also, if you can share how you did it in layman terms =) to those of you who made the same as Rex grigg reactor, did you follow the actual sizes in there? i have a 20 gallon tank and no plan of upgrading as i have limited space at home. what are the sizes you can recommend? also, did it somehow affect the flow of your canister filter (slower flow) when you attached this kind of inline reactor at the outtake of your filter? i am asking this because i only have fluval 105 right now and no means of upgrading soon for my 20 gallon tank =)
  2. Hi, I am looking for someone who know how to do a PVC Inline C02 Reactor. I've been reading a lot in the internet but all of them don't specifically say where they get their materials as most of them are from the U.S. and i can't really relate to what they are saying. Is there anyone out there who make this that is available locally in Canada? for example parts number of this plumbing device which i can buy from Home Depot? Sorry, i am not a plumber or who knows anything about plumbing =) Anyone who has experience to share?
  3. beautiful tank and Belem as well. yes, Aquaflora has the healthiest plants in town, i've never had a plant from them that died or had disease. The only downside is, there is a lot in a tub! Now i have a forest of Rotala sp. Colorata which i just bought from them three weeks ago.
  4. hi, this works for me : To make 4 deg. KH water dissolve 1.2 gr. NaHCO3 (ordinary baking soda) in 500 ml of distilled water. One teaspoon is equal to about 4.2 grams. So it is a little over of a 1/4 teaspoon. (0.29 teasppon) Then take 5 mls (1 teaspoon) and dilute that with 100 ml of distilled water. you can double check if you have it correct if you have a KH test kit. make sure you are using a DISTILLED WATER and not SPRING WATER or TAP Water. My first attempt, is always wrong because i am using SPRING BOTTLED WATER.
  5. I was able to get my 5lb C02 cylinder tank from Oxygen Products at 156 st. Lucky to have received a sparkling brand new tank. Speaking of C02, where in Edmonton you can buy or recommend a paintball tank for C02? Thanks!
