diy aquaponics aquarium | Boyu CD 01 inline CO2 diffuser

diy aquaponics aquarium

I just bought Boyu inline CO2 diffuser. It can be use inside and outside tank. Just take out the strainer if you want to use it outside the tank. I heard it is very efficient and maintenance free. Not sure how true it is. My guess is brown algae probably will grow inside after a while.

I bought 2 of them from ebay, since none of the local fish shop carry this product. They do have similar product from ISTA but very expensive $27. It cost me S$8.60 for 2 but the delivery charges is S$11.90 which is more expensive than the product. The stamp duty on the mail is only HK$19.1 or S$3.75. Nevertheless, it is still cheaper than ISTA.

I like this product. For starter, it does not reduce the filter flow. Furthermore, I not need to worry about green spot algae. Probably because it is inside cabinet thus no light. However, after a while I can see some brown thing build up (diatome?). It is the same build up that normally hapen inside filter hose. Nothing to be worry about just use brush and clean it during regular filter maintenace. It is much easier to clean compare to green spot algae.

I did join the plated tank competition with William and we actually won the first price. The competition requires us to scape the tank on the spot. They give us 2 days to do the job. The most difficult part is when we need to carry all the hardscape to convention hall. Imagine carrying 70kg of lapis sand and rocks which is about the same total weight as lapis sand. Of course we did not carry it in one time. Forgot to mention that all this thanks to Benny (Aquatic Quotien Admin) that sponsoring us at the same time convince the organizer for late entry. Honestly when we aware of this competition, the entry was already closed.

One thing for sure the organizer doesn’t really know about planted tank. For example the tank was filled with water when we arrive. We end up have to use pail to throw the water away before we can start scaping. They also provide us wrong info on the tank size. Initial info was 100x50x50cm but endup 88(L)x45(W)x61(H)cm. They provide us with only 2x36W PL light which kind of too low for tank this size, not to mention 2ft height. They also provide us with CO2 which kind of contradict the light wattage. No solenoid for the CO2. No timer for the light, thus light have to turn ON 24 hours for 1 week. At the end of exibishion, the plant condition is really bad, leaves are start rotting everywhere.
