Thanks for the responses. The problem with feeding them is that my tank has Cherry Shrinp, Amanos, White Clouds, and Rummynoses who attack any sinking food I use. The assassins would never see it. :(

I was actually coming here to make a thread about assassin snail breeding and saw this thread going. I too have the bleached snail graveyard... the thing is, I have too many assassin snails now (or do I?). I started off with a pair that stayed just a pair for six months or so. I figured...

Hi there, I've been manually removing spirogyra for months and it's gotten so bad that it's been a daily thing. I've tried blackouts, low light, extra ferts, no ferts, overdosing Excel, adding a couple SAE, and it's just gotten worse. Here's my setup: 20G Long Eheim 2011 cannister filter...

I just wanted to say that after three weeks my Dwarf Baby tears are doing exceptionally well on just glut and liquid ferts (Flourish, iron, and potassium), and Flourish root tabs. After starting out with six golf ball sized patches, it's carpeted over one-third of the bottom of my 20 gallon...

Just an update, I haven't bought a CO2 system yet.... The GOOD: --------- 1) The HC I put in is growing extremely well, tripled in coverage and I'm having to trim and replant long (2"+) pieces all the time. 2) The Anubis and red wendii is growing really well. 3) The Rotala... I guess it's...

Thanks. How do you know how much CO2 to use?

Looks like there's a place that sells CO2 near me actually. Okay so I'd need a paintball CO2 tank, regulator, and what else?

Thanks. How long does a tank last you?

The problem is that I don't really have a hidey hole because it's on a countertop. I have an Eheim 2211 next to it and sort of behind it and it's not too bad... Can you or anyone else recommend a small pressurized CO2 system with a good reputation?

Hmm, the MC looks a bit more attractive IMO. As far as CO2, the tank is on a counter and while our kitchen is rather large, I'm prefer not to have a CO2 tank in sight.... I don't know much about CO2 systems though, is there one that's small (only 20 gal here) and presentable?

Thanks for the advice. Out of MMC or RR are their any significant differences or variables I should know about?

Rats. And what about dwarf hairgrass?

20 gal long moderately heavily planted tank. Threadfin rainbows, white clouds, and pencilfish... And a few RCS. I'd like to get a carpet going without a Co2 system, just Flourish Excel (and other ferts if I might need them). Will either of these plants work? Will one work better? Neither...

I just got an Eheim 2211 for my 20 gal long and it works great. It's *very* quiet too and the thing is about the size of a thermos.

So I positioned the spray bar about 1" under the water line and have it pointed up at about a 45 degree angle. it seems to keep the surface moving while also producing less current.
