Hello all, I've been out of the hobby for over 10 years. I know because I have twin 10y/o daughters. When i was last addicted I had several tanks and liked larger aggresive species that i could live feed. Things have changed I now like what is more acceptable for 9y/o girls! (lol) I have started a 125 gallon planted tank and am triing my hand at growing plants. I have made a diy co2 setup that i should probably be happy with, but I've researched online and decided that if I should continue to make co2 this way I'm going to have to produce an alcohol that I can drink aswell as the co2. I've taken down 2 recipes that I'll try and if successful I'll post in the future. Anyone who is already doing this please share your recipe with me. I'm using the co2 in my planted tank and in a tank that I'm making phytoplankton in, idea being that the phytoplankton uses the co2 at night when the tank isn't. the tank gets 8hrs a day the phytoplankton gets 16hrs. The phyto is under grow light at night. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with all the phytoplankton. I've made a co2 diffuser with an old power head but I like the look of the glass ceramic ones placed on glass near bottom of aquarium. Not to sure they work as well but they do look cool! I have a sodastream for making drinks and have thought about purchasing a refill kit because I drink allot of soda water( I exchange my bottle once a month). This made me think about the control a bottle and regulator would provide me. My research thus far on regulators has me looking at two simmilar options only I think the qualities of the two maybe very different. If anyone had experience with one of these (http://www.adana-usa.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=460) ( http://www.aquariumhk.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=859) or ordering online with one of these companies, I would sure appreciate hearing about it. This is my 2nd post so I don't know if those links will work or not but you can write me directly to request the information if its not viewable.
