this Bluebolt is a breeding machine. Time to catch out the Bluebolts and give them their own tank again.

I've not had an aquarium for some time, ab1 out three years. I saw NoGi selling a Disposable Co2 Regulator, I decided then and there that I would purchase his Co2 Regulator and set-up a brand new tank. - So Thank-You NoGi :P The plan is to set-up an ADA Style cube, plant it out, and stock with some Reasonable Quality CRS, some Boraras Brigittae & a few Otocinclus... I will update this post as I acquire more items, and update the thread with images of any progress made. Please feel free to make any suggestions, ask any questions you may have, or even post images of planted cubes that look awesome as I need much inspiration :p Cheers, John. ______ Purchased: Mr Aqua - Low Iron 30cm Cube. Chihiros Aquasky LED Glass Lilypipe Set Glass CO2/PH Checker CO2 Regulator CO2 Solenoid. CO2 In-Line Atomiser ADA Amazonia Powder To Buy: Eheim 2213 & Clear Hose. CO2 Hose CO2 Buble Counter.

Thanks for the tip @Madmerv! Quick Update!!!!

Is the GH Builder liquid or powder? Correct though.... top off - RO or rain water. Water changes, remineralize. For lowering TDS in a tank, there's a few different things you can do... Remineralize new water to desired TDS and perform more frequent water changes. Remineralize water to a lower TDS (i.e. target is 130, remineralize to 100), and use this water until the target TDS is desired in tank. Switch back to higher TDS water at next water change. Use straight RO/DI or rain water. Not recommended, as this could result in a much more drastic change and cause shock to the inhabitants. As per a couple of other forum members, your tap water TDS should be around 150.... nice to see someone else with low TDS tap water. I have 3 KH and GH with a TDS of ~50. I've been mixing it with hard water, about 4:1 ratio, and aim for about 180 TDS.
