Awesome!

I have a 55 gallon I've had setup for 5 years with live plants that I've been using root tabs for but after finally finding a video that explains the Co2 system where I can understand it, I'm going to invest in one. Thank you!

this was the easiest video i’ve seen to follow for a CO2 setup, thank you!!

Thank you for making this video it help a lot for someone like. I have no idea on how to start Co2 on my tank. Now i know How to begin using CO2 on my tanks.

Absolutely brilliant, straight forward video mate. Well done!! I’m getting my first CO2 setup tomorrow so your video was really helpful for me!

BRO! thanks so much. my new planted tank is really suffering right now, so i’ve finally decided to start injecting CO2, but the first few videos I watched just confused me. yours is exactly what i needed! 🙌

Great video !! Thank you 🙏🏼

Thanks for sharing this information. I’ve watched other guides but your video is the most concise and straight to the point (: I’m starting a new tank, but no budget for this co2 system. Can I just add this later?

Your welcome, yes this can be added later if you want to.

Nice one, concise video. I've just ordered all the components for one. I've been running the pressurised DIY C02 that runs in a cannister with baking soda/citric acid for sometime but lasts only 3-4 weeks. Of course that DIY system only manages to mix up around 100g of C02 for a 2 litre cannister as opposed to the real thing like you have demonstrated here which uses the full capacity of the cylinder.

Thank you so much!

Love your content. Thanks for the effort. If you could tweak the volume of your vids it would be very helpful. Thanks !

Great video, lots of useful information. A couple suggestions, even of bubble counter has a check valve built in, might want to add one between the diffuser and bubble counter. Also make sure co2 cylinder is secure, if it falls over the regulator can get broke easily, and if valve would break, the cylinder becomes a torpedo. Can't be too careful with compressed gases.

Thank you, all the items I used are listed in the video description.

thankyou for posting this video, yours has been the most understandable explanation I’ve seen and I feel a lot more confident in setting up a CO2 system in the future now. But I do have one question. You said you have a 65 gallon tank and set it to 50 psi, what would you recommend for a 55gal?

@TrafishAquatics

2 жыл бұрын

Same 50psi, what really matters is the bubble counter as that is what controls tge fine tuning of how much co2 is being released

Wish I had seen your video before setting up my first CO2 system. All is good now but not before a few swear words were spoken. My 5lb bottle lasts about 8 months running 2 BPM (Bubbles per minute) on a 50 gallon and with exchange is $34. But that's here in good ole Washington State where they are tax happy and everything is more expensive. But anyway, great video.

Great information however I am interested to know if you still intend running that much air pump supply at the same time?

@TrafishAquatics

Жыл бұрын

Yes i still run that much and everything is growing great

the regulator isnt available on amazon can you link another one please?

Is this a single stage regulator? If so, have you experienced any issues with end of tank dump? Much of what I read seems to recommend a dual stage regulator to avoid this.

What PSI would you suggest for a 75 gallon tank? Would 50 PSI be too much?

Curious how you have found the regulator you’ve chosen to work for you. So many conflicting reviews of regulators make the choice difficult. Also curious if you know how far you can run the from co2 tank to aquarium. Thinking of storing tank in the basement and running lines to first floor.

I actually got my regulator from a local fish store, the owner tried many different ones and found this one to work well, it still had the Amazon ID on it so I looked it up and found it on there also. So far it's been reliable. You can run it from further away but it will take longer to get the co2 to the tank when it turns on because if the distance, you can just tune your timer to compensate

If it's a true flying fox most likely yes, One thing you need to watch is if the flying fox is small he may end up being eaten by the goldfish, since goldfish we'll pretty much eat anything they can fit in their mouth.

I did the DIY CO2 generator. But it’s spent after a couple of days. I thought they were supposed to last a lot longer than that. And if it is, what am I doing wrong?

Hi Trafish guy, nice video on CO2. I am looking to set a system up like you have described, and being that it is my first attempt at a CO2 system, wondering if you can recommend a brand and or model number for the regulator that works well. Also, some of the more expensive regulators say that their benefit is they prevent CO2 dump as the CO2 empties from the tank. Can you comment on that as well? Thanks and really enjoy your videos/Jeff

Jeff the dump you speak of is only at risk if you have a single stage regulator which looks like what this video has. You need a dual stage don't get confused with dual guage. Make sure it's dual stage. I have the Milwaukee and a co2 art. Also for the needle valve I never fill to the top. I do it 3/4 fill with distill water. Cheers

Also placement of the diffuser is key to optimizing the use of the system. I place my diffuser low to substrate and then have a mini wave maker or mini pump to push the bubbles to circulate through the tank and all over the plants before reaching the surface. The way its set up here, the bubbles rise straight to surface and not a single plant is benefitting and wasting all that co2. Hope that helps.

Hi 👋 one question , is 3 bubbles per second for what aquarium size ? 50 gallons? 75 ? 125 ? ???

For me it was 65

so do i buy the tank from amazon and have my local welding shop fill it or buy a tank straight from there?

@TrafishAquatics

You could do either, chances are getting one right from a welding shop will be way easier, plus it seems most places just exchange them anymore so you would loose your new tank

Co2 doesnt pull air from the room so it will be fine, an air pump is a different story

I just order that same regulator on amazon for $20 cheap.. I have a co2 from my soda maker.

C02Art sells complete set up kits. I own two of their kits and they are very high quality. www.co2art.us (One note, though: C02Art no longer includes a washer in its kit. The company says you don't need it; it says the black sealing ring that comes on the regulator is enough. It is not. You will need to buy a washer either from C02Art or from your local hardware store, or the gas will leak.)
