My 26 gallon aquarium is classed as a “high tech” aquarium. I run a large amount of light on this aquarium (about 7.5 watts per gallon), so the plants need a good source of CO2. The more light you have, the more CO2 (and nutrients) the plants need.
Equipment:
- 10 lbs CO2 tank
- Electronic regulator
- Glass diffuser
The electronic regulator let’s you adjust how many bubbles of CO2 you want in a certain time frame (4 bubbles per second (240 per minute) down to 1 bubble per 10 seconds). Right now I have it set to about 4 bubbles per second.
The glass difuser has a ceramic disk that turns the CO2 into tiny bubbles to help it disolve into the water better.
I have to refill my CO2 tank about once a year.
I need to get a drop checker so I know I’m getting the right amount of CO2 in the tank. I had a drop checker before I moved in to my house, but I still can’t find it.
I plan on getting a Hydor Koralia Nano power head to help evenly distribute the CO2.
