ckmullin Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Pretty good work. Ditch the dyi and get pressurized co2, you'll never regret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadio Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Thanks for the compliments. Most likely will move up to in the future, but the DIY I made is using 2 500ml aluminum bottles with a small clear air tight jar as a counter (reactor) and seems to work well from the growth so far. Cig filtre works great as a diffuser which is hidden in the rockscape below the lily pipe outflow. Added another graphic giving a bit of the journey. I'll upload a few others of the indoor pond, beta scape later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
