    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.

    • @IAMAREALOSPREY
      @IAMAREALOSPREY День тому

      I feel as though between elatine hydropiper, glosostigma elatinoides and hygrophila serphyllum we have three different sizes of visually the same plant.

    • @ssaquascapes
      @ssaquascapes День тому

      Thank you. It’s been a long time trying to get that Hydropiper to grow. Just took the right light and boom….good to go. Maybe it needed the tank to season more too. Thanks for all your support 🤘

  • @everythingaquarium
    @everythingaquarium День тому

    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!!

    • @ssaquascapes
      @ssaquascapes День тому

      Yes, I have learned since then to just CHANGE THE WATER! 🤘 It is hard when you are panicking to think logically. I just thought, need air…need air…need air. A water change gets the Co2 out right away. I probably would have had less loss. Thanks for sharing. 🤘

    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.

      From my experience it doesn’t matter how you get the biofilm into the water stream. It will be filtered either way and the surface stays clear. This model is smaller and looks better to me than the big ‘ol intake skimmers.

    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.

    I’m new to co2 systems and i heard they could blow up or something. I’m planning of getting the same diy co2 system. Just a question, when the co2 plug timer shuts off, how does it stop the flow of co2? Also if it stopped, is the tank not going to explode?

    • @ssaquascapes
      @ssaquascapes 15 днів тому

      No worries on the cylinder exploding. It holds nearly 2000PSI and you won’t reach that pressure. It also has a safety relieve valve to prevent explosions. The reaction of the ingredients only produces a set amount of pressure so it won’t continue to climb. It is shut off at night by the solenoid valve. Set your fears aside and join us in the world of Co2! 🤘🤘🤘

      I have 16 tanks and I am still on the original filter over a year later. I see my TDS at 14 and rising each WC so I’d say get new filters once a year for your application. Also, check the price of a whole new unit vs the filter refills as most of the time it is cheaper to buy a whole new unit and have some spare brackets and parts. 🤘

    I accidentally doubled the dose and got the needle to go up to 850 psi (yes, I know it maxes out at 600). Naturally i freaked out and contacted the manufacturer in China (I'm from Malaysia and here in Asia you can get in touch with them directly) and they informed me that it was factory tested to go beyond even that figure, although they did advise me not to overfill it just so I don't cause long-term metal fatigue to the bottle. However they did assure me it was safe even at that pressure and I do not need to release the additional pressure via the safety valve. Being still somewhat fearful, i cranked up the co2 on both my tanks (I use a splitter to provide for both) and it still lasted me for over a month at 3-5 bubbles per second on both tanks. Yeah, crazy, I know! But at least I now know it's safe so long as I don't go wayyyyy overboard with the recommended dosages.
