Thanks everybody for the great advice. I pulled my plants out of the tank and dipped them in peroxide to remove what snails were on the plants themselves and moved them to a separate tank. Im keeping pieces of lettuce in the snail tank to keep the population going so when i get my clown loaches...

I purchased the plants from someone on this forum and they were shipped quite a way so its very possible that the plants are just weak from the trip and that could explain it. I don't have any fish in the tank so I haven't put any food in there other than root tabs and such for the plants. It...

Well I've got the plants in a QT so I plan on. pulling the plants out, removing the snails from the plants, and placing them in my community tank. So whatever is left in my QT isn't much of an issue for me since I plan on draining that tank after the plants are removed. I've read that bleach...

So I've recently purchased some plants that apparently came with a few pond snails, which have turned into countless pond snails...everywhere. Ive looked up ways to get rid of them and it seems like dipping the plants in a bleach solution is my best bet. I know clown loaches are the kings of...

Thanks for your response. Ive looked over all of the options and i think the Finnex planted+ is perfect for what I'm looking for and right in my price range. You're right about buildmyled.com being the cadillac of lights but a bit pricey for my budget. Maybe when I'm able to put a bit more money...

Hey guys, So I'm setting up a 75g tank and I'm torn between two lights. Aqueon has a 24" fluorescent hood. I could use two of those and put in t5 lights. But marineland offers a 48" led light with 3 interchangeable light strips. The aqueon hoods are 25 dollars each without the bulbs. The...

Just received some plants shipped to me and they are doing great!

I've pmed you

Update! So while cleaning out my 2.5g i noticed some itty bitty bug things in there. So i got a good look at them and googled them and found out I've got a copepod called Cyclops in my tank with my fry. Everything I've read said they are harmless but my Cories are still kinda young and i was...

Im so excited about getting it set up. Its a slow process though. Everything is expensive, but its coming along. Im going to set up a 10g for the Cories for now but setting up the 20g would be ideal. Keeping the tank clean is going to be quite a task compared to my little 20g but its well worth...

I read up on Planet Catfish and it makes sense what you're saying. I had the breeder box for platys and corys are a whole different ballgame. I plan on eventually setting up my 10g for them but all of my time and effort is being spend setting up a 75g right now so that will have to be put on my...

The breeder box I have sets in the tank with the female inside. I figured the male fertilized the water and as long as the eggs are in the water they would be ok. But i seem to have an issue with the corys and other tankmates eating the eggs almost immediately after they are laid. Thats why i...

Sorry! My internet has been down. Gotta love comcast :) Im currently feeding him a mix of powdered flake food and freeze dried brine shrimp. He's looking good and healthy so far. My corys have bred a few times since but i haven't been able to get the eggs out of the tank without breaking them...

So my tank has been uncontrollably cloudy for the past few days. Ive done 25% PWC everyday for 4 days straight and its still very cloudy. My corys have been breeding constantly for about a week now and I was wondering if that could be the reason my tank is so cloudy. Ive checked all of the...

If its still available would you be willing to part with the lights separately? If so how much would you want for them?
