Hagen CO2 system
Well I use 2 of the Hagen naturafin CO2 systems in my 100 planted gallon
tank - I know this is not enough but I am a bit scared using CO2 bottles as for safety reasons.. The plants look green and ok, but I still think they do grow a bit slow. I know the hagen system are designed for much smaller tanks, my question is... Shell I add 2 more of these system or shell I upgrade to a pressurized professional CO2 system, which someday my little boy would want to start playing with it...? (Or am I a little bit paranoid here) (The tank on the beginning did not even had the CO2 system and plants grew pretty well, So its kind of hard to tell the difference with the haggen system. I also use 4 florescent tubes (36watts each) all with reflectors. gravel has Sera planted compounds in it, and I sometime add gravel fertilizers myself. I also use liquid fertilizers on a daily basis. Didn't yet measure the CO2 level in the water but I am sure its not enough. I just want my plants to grow faster. Sorry for the long message. gizmo |

Go with pressurized CO2. It'll cost you around or over $100 but it'll save
ya some troubles in the future. "gizmo" wrote in message ...

Hagen CO2 system
What about snails entering the CO2 diffuser and blocking it ?
Is there a workaround on that ? 10x gizmo "-=Almazick=-" wrote in message news:hNsfb.490015$Oz4.338450@rwcrnsc54... Go with pressurized CO2.

Don't worry about it. They'll go away in a day or two. The whole point to
keep bubbles in the tank as long as it takes. "gizmo" wrote in message ... What about snails entering the CO2 diffuser and blocking it ?
