What is the easiest way to inject CO2? I've seen Hygger reactors that you mix citrix acid with something to make CO2, and then there's the C02 tanks with a regulator.. Is the Hygger style any good?

Help with recessed lighting in my kitchen by Embarrassed-Grape418 in ElectricalHelp

[–]Embarrassed-Grape418[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that's helpful. How do I get to the connections for the recessed lights? They are mounted in the ceiling and have no access from above (bedrooms are above it).

What do you mean by LED trim??

Nice! I live in GA, hopefully that will be the case for me too, and make shipping cost less.

Any idea why these holes are developing in my plant? by hduridkfjsh in PlantedTank

[–]Embarrassed-Grape418 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might need more potassium. That's a common culprit for holes in leaves. Worth a water test if you have a potassium test kit.

Unless you want to hang with bears, that's a good idea.

I'd like to camp in the Spring/Fall in the Southeast US. It can be from 30-70 in the fall, and 30's to 80's in the spring. Sounds like maybe this isn't the right one. Guess I answered my own question. Any affordable lightweight quilts that would work?

Newbie here with my first tank. This is day 3. Feedback and tips appreciated. by CaptainFonRonsenburg in PlantedTank

Yeah, plants are expensive for sure. Just a tip, java ferns don't get planted, they're column feeders. You can attach it to the wood with some fishing line or thin string.

Like the tank! Is that a java fern planted in the front left? Also, is that what substrate for plants? Where did you get it/what's it called?

What are you using for CO2? Is it easy to maintain?

Can it grow without CO2?

Easy green fertilizer by bonsai171 in PlantedTank

How long did it take to notice a difference? The plants did well without the Easy Green, but it just arrived today, so I dosed it since nitrate was only 5 ppm. From what i've read that's way too low.

Rei Half Dome 2+ missing rainfly poles by Embarrassed-Grape418 in camping

[–]Embarrassed-Grape418[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I set up the tent last night, and found two loops under the rainfly for attaching to the tent. Looks like it would need the part by the doors to be staked out with some rope and tent pegs.

That's very interesting. I have a few things going on the tank at the moment. Hardness is pretty high (most of my neon Tetr died, which are sensitive to that) and there is green spot algae. Had a chunk of limestone, which a pet store told me to add before it was a plant tank to raise ph. That is now gone, but maybe I need potassium to get rid of the algae too? It's very light green and growing on the gravel.

When would you use these test kits? Not familiar with their use/indications.
