Finally I got my CO2 regulator in the mail.

Heres what I bought, off ebay for $23, shipped



Only one problem, when I bought it, I didn't see this picture.



That little "nub" made it impossible to make a seal against my tank.

So I broke out the dremel, and cut the nub off, just lower than the O-ring. I then used a sharpening stone and ground down the roughness until it was smooth.

I put it on the tank and tightened it up, and It sealed. I turned off the tank and left the regulator pressurized over night. Came back in the morning and the pressure on the guage hadn't changed

Now it's up and running

About 5 days ago, i treated for red flatworms. I did not have them previously. I think I got them after putting chateo in my fuge. It's really the only thing that I've added recently.

Now the flatworm invasion Is hardly that, you have too search and search before you can even find one. Either way I decided to treat now before they were out of hand and before they were in larger number and releasing more toxins.

As for the treatment I used blue vet flatworm treatment. I followed the treatment as on the box. However I didn't see results until 1.5-2 times the recommened dosage.

During treatment fish, coral, clams everything seemed fine and uneffected. The flatworms did not enjoy the treatment however , They do seem to be gone

24hrs after treating I did a 20 gallon water change, It was about 3 weeks ago since my last water change.

I also changed out my carbon, again it was due to be changed.

The only other update is that, I have begun to use filter socks.

My coral colors continue to improve and growth is quite obvious.

I'm just in the process of dialing in the Ca reactor.

I'm really excited to begin to add some new fish, I have no idea what though.
