Installed the lily pipe setup recently. Has been on for quite awhile, slowly worked it up to about 4-5 bps and drop checker still isn’t changing color and the PH hasn’t dropped at all, it’s always at 8 exactly.

I have about 3 foot of tubing after the inline co2 so it’s set up pretty good. Only thing I’m seeing is the lily pipe that I have is pointed slightly upward so maybe it’s pushing the bubbles to the surface too quickly?

I had a crappy regular diffuser until I switched to the inline and the drop checker at least turned greenish blue, now it’s just straight blue. It’s a 75 gallon tank

So I have 4 angels, 8 rainbow fish, 5 rummynose, 2 rams and 3 plecos. Have a 75 gallon heavily planted tank. Kinda wanted to get two more angel would this be alright?

I have these Amazon ones that are supposed to be for a rimmed tank but the stupid clips still aren’t long enough so I have to drill through the plastic lip and zip tie them which is a pain, and I have to fill them with gravel because the plants roots arent big enough to fill them. They also take up a lot of space at the top of my tank it’s a 75 gallon.

What would be a good alternative that would take up less space? I tried suction cups with the zip ties and it won’t work with the stupid lip over the tank. I currently have 8 small plants just in these plant holders and it’s taking up a lot of the upper level space for my rainbows

Fish had eggs about 5 days ago, I got rid of the eggs because of the aggression and my angel has not eaten in a couple days, not interested in food at all. Poop or whatever it is looks whitish not sure what it would be

Running about 6 bps for my 75 gallon. My co2 drop checker doesn’t seem to really want to turn green though. Have two HOB filters and I maxed out the tank fill so they don’t have as much current to off gas co2.

Would there be anything else I can do to fix this?

Somebody has been munchin on my plants. Tank is stocked with:

Rummynose tetra x6

Boesemani rainbows x6

Bristlenose pleco x3

Pearl gourami x1

No punishments will be dealt just wondering if theres anything I can do about it they mostly eat my hygrophila

Got to the stage where it’s hard to not put more plants in it. The angelfish will be put in tomorrow so I’m excited!

I love messing around with the tank and buying new plants and whatnot, I’ll be sad when there is no room for anything else in the tank lol

He is a great fish, just doesn’t fit in well with the tank. He is aggressive since he was the first fish in my tank, as long as he’s the new fish in a tank he’ll be alright

Is it a reputable place to get fish? I started a freshwater aquarium and mostly go to tiny aquatics but some of the prices are better at aquadome especially the angelfish that I want to finish off the tank

Anyone that frequents that place let me know!

I love messing with the tank but I can’t add fish yet so I just keep throwing plants in it from the grocery store to grow on the top

Have pretty bad water where I live, would these help since I want to fill up with the garden hose?

No fish in the aquarium now as I’m still cycling the tank but about a week after putting the pothos in it started drooping, there’s quite a few nodes in the water and I put some plant growth stuff in the tank is it not getting enough light? It’s by a window

Seem to be doing exceptionally worse since I’ve taken them out of the substrate and into the lava rock

Most beginner 75 gallon tank setup I could think of. Anything else it needs to fill some empty space?
