I will for sure keep you in mind as well as long as its within group rules I have no problem sharing it.This is a new tank but it is starting to grow all over my driftwood, once it get bigger someone will have to tell me how to propagate it, or is it just like any other moss? I will have to read up on this, heck I didn't even know what it was thats why I asked , I almost took it out after all the hair algae I had, glad I asked first 😄

Thank You again. When it grows out I will be more then happy to send you some. Starting to grow all over my driftwood in the back as well.

Wow that was fast Thank you so much. So I guess I should leave it then right? Just looked it up you are absolutely right. Thank you, Thank you , Thank you🙂

Does Anyone know what this is growing on my driftwood? The tank is only about 2 months old, had to remove most of my Christmas moss because of brown hair algae and now this is growing all over my branches. Is this a form of black beard? Should I leave it or remove it? I tried searching it on google photos but dont really get good results on what this is, mostly pics of stuff growing in salt water tanks. Tried to get good photos but my phone stinks lol.

Thank you for all your help, patience and understanding with me trying to learn I will contact him tomorrow.

Wow That looks awesome and very well built. I will try and reach out to him tomorrow. Thank You so much for your help! Probably more stupid questions but... I dont see a bubble counter does the flow meter replace that? and I dont see a solenoid can this be on a timer?

Yea I heard a lot of problems with the co op not going there. I'm just trying to get it right the first time without going threw buying a bunch of regulators. If a Alan lee is the better option I dont mind spending a little more to get it right the first time. I only heard of him by searching but didn't fallow up when I seen some selling for 500:)

Wow OK I thought they were like 500 that's not much more then the GLA. Do you have a pic of yours and how can I order one from him? I just need a dual stage with solenoid for 1 tank What is the flow meter for? Would I need that for 1 tank. Sorry told you I was new to this lol 🙂

What did it cost you if you don't mind me asking? Does he offer any kind of warranty?

Like you said I think no matter which brand you get they all have duds, been reading good and bad reviews on all of them. Maybe your right just pick one that doesn't cost a fortune and with a warranty and cross your fingers:)

Alan Lee Wow now I really don't know which one to buy I almost ordered one lol. Did you get another one they say they have a lifetime warranty? I tried looking up Alan Lee but I don't think he even makes them anymore.

Alanle custom co2 regulators are out of my price range lol. I'm just starting out and as it is if this doesn't work out I'm going to have some expensive paper weights lol Those regulators must be in a class of their own for you to say the GLA one is cheap, everything I read about them is there built like tanks and have a lifetime warranty. I also read they are 10x better then CO2art regulators. I know they probably don't have a precision needle valve and gauges like the Alan Lee ones but for what I need it for,1 tank should be good enough:) Like I said I'm new to this so if it doesn't work out ( expensive paper weights ) :):) I am going to run the UV off a separate pump, makes things so much easier plus I need a lower GPH for it anyway.

Thank you Pepere you have been so much help, inline diffuser it is:) What you just described is exactly what I was looking for, some bubbles adhering to the plants without the 7up effect. What regulator would everyone choose? Leaning towards the GLA just read they are built like tanks. Love the price of the aquarium co-op and Fzone regulators:) Priced low to high Aquarium Co-Op CO2 Regulator Fzone Pro Series CO2 Regulator GLA PRO-DS-1 Dual Stage CO2 Regulator Co2art Pro-Elite

Wow PePere what a awesome explanation, helped me understand it all a lot better. Thank You for you time:) I also wanted to add a inline diffuser to avoid what everyone calls 7up water and I didn't want to add the wave makers as well. But now that I have to get a smaller canister filter for the UV light I'm looking into adding a reactor but still leaning with the inline one, just seems so much easier then a reactor. You mind me asking what inline diffuser you went with? Thank you again

Thank you for the help. I wont install it on the inlet I read a lot of reviews that it will cause a lot of air pockets inside the canister thus burping a lot and causing a lot of noise. I have the Coralife Turbo-Twist UV Aquarium Fish Tank Sterilizer 3X and gave them a call, my filter is way to fast for it so I will have to get a smaller one just for that which solves my problem, didn't want to but have no choice:) My other question was if I install a inline diffuser and have my outflow at the surface for some agitation would I be wasting a lot of co2? Does everyone keep their outflow near the top or below the surface a few inches. I like the surface agitation for more oxygen in the tank. Or should I just forget the whole inline thing since I don't have to worry about the UV and go with a co2 reactor? Sorry for all the questions just trying to learn and do it right the first time. Thanks for all the help:)
