Definitely keep an eye out for problems, I'm rooting that this will turn out great for you, but most tanks planted like this will have anaerobic soil conditions, before you get more live stock poke a long thin object (stick, knife) just some kind of poking device and poke to the bottom of the...

I think its the good intensity of the lights along with the excel and trace you are adding. That potting mix is going to rot, in kind of a good way, keep an eye out over the next few months for ammonia spikes as it continues to degrade and breakdown into more readily available nutrients. How did...

Hi there, I'm a fellow noob to aquariums as well though have researched thoroughly and I'm going to come along and watch your tank develop, you have a very nice scape and wonderful tank that could turn out quite gorgeous if you're patient with it I think. Your dirt addition is making me...

Beautiful planted tanks, count me in for the journey and the move!

So I have 2 NPT shrimp tanks, a 20g with 30 adult/sub adult RCS and about 40 shrimplets in there from a breeder on aquabid, and a 10g with 5 Fire and 5 Bloody Marys. The RCS came with two berried females both of which successfully carried and hatched their eggs, now I have two different females...

Fish actually died to a temp drop when I accidently unplugged my heater one night when I was unplugging my phone. More pics to come of my current set up Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I'm new to keeping shrimp and have no idea if I'm looking in the right spot for it. They molted a week after I got them. When I checked them afterwards I couldn't tell if it was digestive tract or eggs. I showed these pics to a local hobbyist and he's sure she's saddled. I'd appreciate some more...

Everyone is definitely right, a bit sad but not at all surprising considering it looks literally nothing like I've read about. Fresh02 I think is right in the assessment of damsel fly I think. Answers to the questions were pretty spot on. Except for the eyes one can't tell on that. When I get...

Thanks so much for linking me to your thread! Reading through it now. Unfortunately the Carib Sea was bought already :( gonna still use it though as it should raise the CEC, right?

Luckily endlers are fairly easy to sex, as are guppies I believe, those tend to be the two I'm looking at right now as they are very colorful and also have the same parameters as the other stock I'm keeping.

Definitely going to do the Walstad method. The more research I've done the less I think I need to connect the tanks, in fact I think it would probably cause more harm than help, depending on the needs of the individual life in the tanks. Basically I'm only going to do that now if I find any of...

So I've been diving headfirst pretty hard into owning my own aquarium. Right now just have a 3 gallon that I nearly killed today with a nitrite/nitrate spike. Well the tetras died which was probably for the best they weren't eating the betta food I bought for them and that's what led to the...

So a few things have changed and the plan has developed. Another craigslist seller is also letting go of his 55 gal for ridiculously low price. Tank Goals Community Tank: Red Cherry Shrimp Royal Blue Tiger Shrimp Endlers only Heavily Heavily Planted Crawfish Tank: Red Cherry Shrimp (living...

So I got my 3 gallon tank stocked a couple weeks ago and have just been totally geeking out in my free time about future tanks and acquisitions. I'm a big lover of colors so my focus has been on shrimp and plants mostly in my research. So the idea of having an awesome aquascaped tank with a...
