 Looking for a solenoid valve, tired of turning Co2 on and off all the time...  

Just my 2 cents, but a lot of people run co2 24/7.  As long as the bubble count is not excessive, and/or you take precautions (e.g. running an air stone at night), there should be no issues.  I did this at 1.5 bps from a paintball setup in a 48 gal with no issues.

What would be an excessive bubble count?  I run at 2 now.  I also have a Bio Wheel for now until I get my Eheim.  I think the bio wheel is degassing my tank so until I get my canister filter up and running again I think I should be good.

Once he got the left & right sorted out it must have being smoothing sailing after, at least that is what Eric said the other night he was over  :).
Good going Dan.

You guys are very funny.... :-[

Still didn't get my coffee Dan, until then, I'm spreading the word LOL

I might let it go though... you did get me 100lbs of white silica sand  ;)

DaWolfe

Sure thing...also there is a bunch of sand grains in my wife's car.  Bring your vacuum the next time you swing by.   ;D

Gorgeous tank man, congratulations. I can't wait to see it evolve even more :)

It's looking pretty slick I have to say (having seen the tank in person).

One thing though... if only the background was painted black  ;D

-UPDATE-

Got my plant order from La Niche, missing a few plants that were not on this shipment but most were there.  I substitute a few, if they do not look good in my tank I can move them to my son's new 5.5 gal soon to be setup tank.

Anacharis,
Vallisneria spiralis
Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Green'
Cryptocoryne pontederifolia
Cryptocoryne parva
Ludwigia glandulosa
Rotala Macrandra Green

Added 3 more Ottos and started dosing Excel

Wow!  Looking great! 
Love the shot of the wood with the plant on it... lovely.
