    No luck I can keep them alive, I think my CO2 is too high, O2 too low or they are getting eaten by the Leopard Danio and Rasboras.

    Sorry mis-read the post. $250 shipped for a two stage regulator.

    Yeah I am at the point where I don't want to spend a lot but I also don't want to buy a junk one that will fail on me...again lol. The one I had that failed was a Milwaukee but was used. My lfs only has Milwaukees so I would have to order one if I wanted to get something else...which is another part of the dilemma. I was looking at the reef fanatic and some other but the name has slipped me.

    Good luck you should get the regulator in one or two days at the most since AquaCave is in Ohio.

    You have a beautiful planted tank, though with all the stuff you have for it it seems like your reef may be easier to care for.

    Thanks,

    They are pretty equal, mixing salt water takes more time than getting water ready for the planted tank, buy I spend more time dosing right now. Once I use up the liquid ferts that will cut the time dosing way down. I just need to get an ATO and a doser then the reef tank will definitely be tougher with the dual BRS reactor to deal with.
