Journal Tsing's 180 - WIP

Thanks for sharing your build. Really interesting.

Which configuration did you end up with the Gyres? I tried, but can't find them in your more recent photos. Your plants being so tall, don't they get sucked in by the gyres?

I am also using a Gyre. A Maxspect XF330 non-cloud. I have it placed horizontally, pushing water just under the surface from one end to the other. I run it at 20% power using the controller that comes with it. Higher than that, my plants get pushed over too much.

LOL... I never thought anyone would use this. That's my video. :ROFLMAO:

Measuring CO2 flow can be challenging, especially when we're doing 5 bubbles per second or more. Of course there are professional flow measurements, but I have had two ideas how we can do it cheaper, and perhaps even more accurate for our hobby. I did not spend more time building and testing, as I am not really interested in my flow with using overflow mode on the reactor..

I won't post here, as I do not want to derail the thread, but will do later in a separate thread for anyone who likes to follow up and test and develop the idea.

I measure with phone camera. Put on slow motion. 1/8 speed. Then record 5 sec video. And count 40 bubbles divided by 8 = 10bps
