I have a 60 gallon corner tank, would this product be too strong? Using both PH or even just one?

I have a 160 gallon tank I had one it it very powerful but I had a defective one so I returned it back. But yeah it will be very powerful I say one if you point it upwards.

It looks like you are getting 2 doesn't it .. Not true .. I got one in the box and sent the seller a msg through amazon and he said something to the affect of that is product info and I was only supposed to get one .... But other than that the product is good and you could angle it from top to lower corner and it would be ok .. I have a 150 gal salt that requires 4500 gph of flow .. Oh and don't use it with a wave maker it tends to spin backwards after power outages

Yep I only got 1 in my shipment too. It does say you are to get 2 of them. 2pack. i saw others said they got 2. I only got 1.

I sealed a five gallon tank and didnt even use an eighth of the pint once the excess was all drained. Hope this gives you an idea of how much you'll need for you're project.

I have a 60 gal tank so there is no problem with air for me. When I saw your question I went to the LOTOS web site but could not find a CF/M requirement. I would suggest you call or email LOTOS and ask.

How often will depend on your fish load or if you have other additional filtration. I don't use any carbon in a live planted tank with mine. Carbon is good for removing odor and water discoloration but also can absorb plant fertilizer and fish treatment medications. I think every two months for carbon if you use it is a good starting point to go from. With the pads I generally rinse mine a few times and re use them until they start to fall apart or just get too gross. Good luck.

Yes it can. Adding CO2 to the tank will tend to drop the pH. How much depends on the hardness of the water and the amount of CO2 added. Just be sure to monitor the pH and be sure it stays within the safe range for your fish. Some fish will prove more sensitive to this than others and many will tolerate a fairly wide pH range anyway. The other severe problem would be adding so much CO2 that the oxygen level drops to an unsafe level. Unlikely with this system. Also, an easy problem to spot as some fish will gasp at the surface while others become lethargic on the bottom and would appear to be "gasping." I doubt that would happen with this product.

That depends on many factors. I use 3 teaspoons in 1 gallon of water along with a few teaspoons of Aquashield to keep my water clean. After thats all mixed, I then use a meter to pH. I like to stay between 5.8 to 6.0 for hydroponic growing. Hope that helped :)

Use half. Make sure it's spotless, dry, and warm. VERY THICK. Doesn't cover fast. I have a 5.5 gallon tank and used whole kit. Big mistake. Ended up leaving a half inch thick 2 lb pile in the bottom of my tank. Didn't help the tank was lightweight carbon fiber. Then it leaked again. Caswell replaced for free. Gotta cut in half, grind out and do over with HALF kit

I have well water that is about 7-9, seems like ph stays about the same, it might drop a point. This machine is awesome man it takes my 485 ppm water down to about 12

it won't throw ur ph off. what ever u have it on it doesn't drop or push ur ph at all. this is what i see from my grow. even in my hydro.

Depends what you are keeping. For a coral tank with few to none sps, 1 650 should be just fine, I'd start there. If you decide you need more, just add another later on.

You really only need to use one or the other. I have not used Prime in my tanks (though I have used other Seachem products and love them!) but I have had great success with API Stress Coat and have been using it for years. If your fish are stressed or having issues and that is the reason you are asking about doubling up, you need to treat the specific problems - maintaining good water parameters (and regular testing to make sure you are!) are key and a good water change is usually the first line of defense against any aquarium issue!

Too much? Lol this is perfect for a ten gallon. And you have a 55 which makes me think it's not enough. That's me responding at a 2. Don't make me turn it up to a ten. In all seriousness there is not anything you can do. However, I am still honestly surprised it's too much. May I ask how?

No. The chelating agent is likely Fe-EDTA, which is not only slightly toxic, but is only effective at low ph, making it useless for aquaponics. What you need is Fe-DTPA, which is effective up to 7.5 ph; or the more expensive Fe-EDDHA which is effective up to 9 ph. For a system around a 100g or less, 8 to 16 oz will last you years. I bought 16 oz for 19.95 with free shipping. Be careful, I ran across one listed as DTPA that said EDTA in the description, and nothing about use in aquaponics.

I have a 30 gallon tank and it maintains 64 degrees like a charm. I would guess that even lower temps are very achievable.

It did cause slight PH fluctuations but what I did was keep a very close eye on my fish. I was ready to go if something happened but for me the shifts in PH were very very minor. I ran an air stone at night to desaturate excess Co2 since plants don't use it at night. Without taking any responsibility if you lose fish, I think you are safe. I keep ghost shrimp and a male Betta in a 20 gallon and they are fine. If you are maintaining all of your other parameters and your tank is healthy I don't believe you would have a PH imbalance large enough to do harm. Just make sure you use a test kit for a while when you start using the Co2. Test kits are a very important tool. I will post a picture of my tank using this product.

I have used it in a 120 gallon fish tank with large fish its perfectly safe for them. I put it in my filter to remove the ammonia that builds up. I would contact the company.

I have the 36" myself on a 40 gallon reef. They are aupported by the side of the glass, so idk how they would fit on a corner tank. I would suggest something that would hang and possible more than one for a tank your size. A 36" would probably not be enough for 96 gallons. It works great in my 40, so if say you would need 2 if you went this way.
