I got another shipment of goodies from Big Al’s Online today including the CO2 Pro System by Red Sea. I bought this setup for the recently restructured 10 gallon tank. I know this system is probably overkill for such a small tank but I wanted something that gave me more control than the Natural Plant System I was using. I picked up a 20oz CO2 cylinder from a local paintball shop to use with this new setup. I needed something small enough to hide behind the tank and this ended up working perfectly.

Installation was quick and painless. I opted not to install the diffuser for the time being because I don’t have another open outlet to plug it into. Instead I just hooked it to a micro bubbler.

According to the CO2 monitor that was included in the kit, the natural system was not providing anywhere near the desired 10-15ppm of CO2. Within an hour of setup the tank reached the optimum CO2 level running at about 1 bubble per second.

I purchased 3 Otos from Wet Pets to help get the algae under control. Now that the Pleco is no longer in this tank there was no one to keep up algae duty.

Today I received an order of Salvinia minima that I recently purchased on AquaBid.com. The texture of the leaves contrasts nicely with the smoth leaves of the Phyllanthus fluitans.Valium Versus Midazolam

The pleco that was living in the 10 gallon was causing a little trouble with the recently planted Rotala Indica so I decided to move him to the 40 gallon (Swamp) tank. He’ll have a lot more room in the 40 gallon plus there’s driftwood to rasp on and a lot more shady areas for him to hide. There’s also no plants in the 40 gallon that will uproot if he decides to go thrashing around the tank.

It’s been nearly 2 months since my first Cherry Barb breeding attempt began. Both of the Cherry Barb fry are doing great and growing very quickly. The larger of the 2 is over a half inch long now. They are both active and constantly searching for food. They’re in a 2.5 gallon tank for the time being with a few bunches of Diandra which they really seem to enjoy swimming around in.
