I have one question though what pH values should I use to control the CO2? I can set the CO2 to turn on at 7.5 and off when the pH drops to 7 or should the CO2 turn off at 6.5? I think this is how the expensive units you can buy work but if anyone knows exactly how they work I would be very grateful. Also is there a value I should set my kH at to help the pH control work?

SupaGas are claiming their equipment cannot measure bottles that small & therefore will not fill them.

Does anyone else use small bottles such as the 0.82L (820g) ones such as the one seen here:

i have a beautiful 6 foot tank, heavily planted with grasses, amazons, crypts and val, and it's full of tetras amd other small species.

i am thinking of removing the small fish and introducing several large fish.

I'm really looking to buy 4 or 5 large fish for dramatic impact, and which will not eat plants. I don't have enough bravery for discus due to the upfront cost....

Any ideas?

I was reccomended a potassium suppliment for my tank to promote fish and plant health. (I usually add kH to my tank).
My question is does the K+ supplement affect the kH as I was going to add both?

Also what plant food would you reccomend?
