for IOS, guess u need more then 5 bubbles/sec

im using a sump for my 6 ft, i cant even count the no. of bubbles... luckily im using a 10l cylinder... so no need to change so often...

ok! I have removed the ammonia absorbing stones and fixed my co2 to airstones in front of my IOF pump (got the idea from another forum, will see whether it works) so that the mini bubbles are forced to mix over about 1.5 ft of hose to the water outlet.

I also took some pics and shall try to post the nicer ones here

Thanks for your words of encouragement!

I am using a 2L tank and so far I have to top up about every 3 months.

er, its 3 months possibly because I wasnt "seriously" using it before. I have just topped up earlier this month so will have to see how long it really lasts.

will try to take more photos but as those are my photo-taking standard lor.. very pai seh..
