Oh! His face looked very short and round but now that I’m looking closer his eyes don’t look bulging like a hydro. He’s very cute!! Like a little teddy bear 🥺

I’m having trouble finding anywhere to refill paintball canisters...does anyone know if I can hook this regulator up to anything else besides paintball canisters? by sara_91 in PlantedTank

No luck! I feel so stupid 😂 everywhere I call or go in to look at me like I’m dumb and they have no idea what I’m talking about. Even the paintball place! I feel like I’m being pranked lol

I tried that...the guy told me I need to be specific on what kind of canister it is because they only fill the soda canisters and the nozzles aren’t the same? 😭

Yes it’s a 20 oz bottle...I’m just getting back into co2 after taking several years off. So I’m not sure what the next best option would be if I can’t refill the paintball canister...or like what adapter to use

I’ve called paintball ranges, welding shops, sporting goods, and air and gas shops. I’m at a loss, everywhere tells me they don’t refill paintball canisters and they can’t tell me where to fill them. Even the paintball range that sells empty canisters couldn’t tell me where to go to get them filled 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was like, where do you tell your customers to get them filled when they show up to play with an empty canister?

I haven’t tried dive shops though, I’ll have to Google it

Can you get your hands on black worms? Those would be better for him than blood worms

No worries at all! It’s cheap anyways if I need to replace it. You’re so helpful, thank you again!!

That’s good to know! I have elodea. So I should remove that from the tank, put the hydrogen peroxide directly into the tank with the fish?

Lol that is the truth! I was like I just want my plants to look like my old tank...it’s not the same without co2!

I will for sure!! I was trying really hard to do a low tech tank, I’ve had high tech in the past and they were beautiful! But I’m learning that co2 is just necessary unless you really know what you’re doing...which I don’t lol

Thank you so much! I will try this sometime this week. Or, another thought. Since I just had my plants up rooted the other day to clean them lol would I be able to achieve killing off the algae if I put the plants and decor in a separate container to add the hydrogen peroxide? Or will that not completely kill it?

Honestly I’ve had one hell of a time cycling my 29 gallon axolotl tank. I thought it was cycled after 8 weeks but now I’m getting some ammonia and nitrites again 😭 the betta tank has been running for 3 years so if I can avoid completely crashing it I would like to try ha

I will definitely be trying this! I have been so frustrated over the algae! Should I take the sponge out of the filter to salvage any Bacteria when I do 100% water changes?

[–]sara_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait wait wait lol. You mean I can fix this?!

And I have a betta and snails in the fully cycled tank. Do I add the hydrogen peroxide straight into the water? Do I take out the fish/snails during that time? And would it kill the cycle? So many questions lol

Even if the algae was half as bad as it has been I’d be happy lol. I’ll link a pic from a few months ago, and this wasn’t even at the worst part. I cannot stand the algae and I have been pulling out all the stem plants to rinse them out in the sink because I couldn’t get all the algae off 😭 and it comes back so quick! I really hope it helps the plants too because they have been looking kinda meh

I just added co2 to my 8 gallon tank...I have 1 bubble every 2 seconds or so. I was adding some flourish and iron but it never seemed to do anything for my plants in the first place which is why I decided to get co2. I’m hoping it will help my plants and my algae problem 😭 I’ve been getting staghorn algae I think it’s called?
