Well, I just got the C02 going in there a few days ago, so then I just had to get some backdrop so you couldn't see it! I posted my question on several other boards. Everyone said to buy more plants buy more plants! I just couldn't figure out why since the ones I had weren't doing too well...

Suuuuuuuuuure! NOW this gets posted :P

Nah, why mix that stuff all up and spend more when that kit will take care of it all for me? Correct? I already spend a ton on this hobby as it is. I would much rather have a "clean" looking setup as I don't have a whole lot of room around this tank for 2 litre bottles and stuff. Hey...

wow, so with that I shouldn't need a DIY C02 setup then correct??

Also, malkore(or anyone else), can you find me a link for this hagen bubble ladder? I looked on their website but couldn't find it. Of course, I don't even know what I am looking for as this plant thing is a totally new realm for me. :oops:

Ok, I just picked up a NitrAte test kit and it looks like I'm at 5.0ppm (mg/L) We still set on C02 to remedy this?

Also, in addition to the flourish tabs, I am also dosing with Seachem's Flourish liquid fert every week.

Ok, this tank has been up and running for a good 3 months I want to say. My NH3 is at 0, my N0-2 is at <0.3 (mg/l), my pH is in the neighborhood of 7.3, my GH is at 7 and my KH is at 4. I hope that makes sense to you all.. I'm using the Tetratest kit for these readings. As far as the light...

Thanks for the link! So, do you think that this alone will take care of what's going on in there?

Close, but will that alone take car of what's going on in here? And if that's so, can someone provide me with a link to a simple/inexpensive DIY C02 setup for this tank

The light is on from around 12pm until around 9 or 10pm so 10-11 hours at most.. No, I don't have any snails that I know of. Unless they just form, no, I don't have any snails. I got this light based off of a recommendation from someone who I thought had some fairly good experience with...

But, for BEGINNER plants??? Are you certain??

Hey everyone, just joined up and am looking for more opinions as to what the problem is in my tank. It's a 10 gallon and I only have a few plants in there at the moment. I have an annubias, a cryptacourne (sp?), a Java Fern, and a madagasgar lace plant. I thought my crypt was doing ok until I...
