Behind the scenes -

I have decided to create this page in order for people to really know the meaning of C02, Reflectors, and all other "New" word that each newbie will come across...

Lights, CO2, and fertilizers.

Planted tank - A Piece of nature in any living room.

Light tubes refloctors - Divert all the light (Almost all the light) into the tank - Thus also increases the light energy penetrating the tank

As one can see - no light is "escaping" upwards.

CO2 pressurized cylinder - this is the right one, note the regulator attached to it with a gauge, in order to control the amount of CO2 into the tank.

The left CO2 cylinder - You can also know by the regulator gauge the amount of CO2 the is left in the cylinder.

Bubble counter. What counts the CO2 bubbles entering the tank, can be located either inside our outside the tank.

Another view of this bubble counter.

CO2 diffuser. after CO2 has passed throught the bubble counter - this is the device the releases the CO2 into the water.

The right CO2 diffuser, closer look into this one can really show CO2 bubbles comong out of it.

Liquid fertilizers - These are some types I use. However I also use home made ones.

Jobes Spikes - Are excellent for root feeders. You can cut one into half or stick it all into the gravel

Using spiked can be trickey - You should avoid the spike dissolving into the tank- and make is decompose in the gravel only.
