at my place i found a bakery wholeseller shop who sells citric real cheap @90/kg :D :D :D So I am not going for cylinders anytime soon. :D
I have three systems running, no leakage issues faced yet...lucky me I guess. I have experienced pressures till 80psi... ;) didnt blast off luckily. the soft drink bottles are said to hold pressures till 150psi :)

needle valve ,pressure gauge and safety valve and also ball valve, are must imo while setting up the system.

how long-it varies v much-

bps-hours per day-gaps between refilling
@0.5bps-11hrs approx-more than a month :mrgreen:
@1bps-11hrs approx-3-4weeks max :)
@2bps+-11hrs approx- 7days max :(

but this is fine with me as that 3' is running at 1-2bps and I am quite satisfied with the growth. in Kolkata, there is a 6' tank and that runs at 1bps with best conditions possible. You might have heard. so, if plants are not growing at 1bps for me in a 3', the fault would be entirely mine coz I dont know how to what.

with bps more than 1.5, there are other issues to control too, so I am thinking of adding another system and use 1bps from both :D

thanks for the link...nice collection there. A request, please provide a gud pic of the triandra that has been planted. In immersed format it looks similar to HM :(
Sanam bhai why don't you start a new topic on the citric acid co2 system.I would love to know more about them.

I would also like to know about this.

Hi sanam ETiandra is easily available with seller. But its not that popular because its get damaged during transportation even the emersed verity. Luckily in my last tank I introduced from a hobbyist submerged tank and carried in small puffed airtight bag. But local seller send it smashed inside polybag, I felt this the major reason for damaged. Couple times felt this issue.

I have planted most of the plant where light intensity is high will relocate some
I think your tank is doing good under given condition. It will turn better slowly. Just you need to do regular maintenance.

Is the HM behind SRepen
