Ok, now that everyone has expressed to me what kind of plant I should get, I got another question. Anybody has java fern, and wouldn't mind clipping some of it and givig it to me so that I could try them out in my tank? I would be willing to pay for shipping, or if you are close by in Southern...

aaahh cool, java ferns, I hear they are fast growers as well. Plus I have read somewhere the the java ferns are bitter or something so goldfish doesn't like eating it, but I always thought that jave ferns were a high light type of plant, but if they grow in low light I guess I am safe.

I always thought that the amazon swords require a good subtrate with fertilizers and they needed a lot of light? They don't need that much light? also, with cheap gravel, are you sure they will survive?

Hello everyone. I got anothe quick question. I got a 75Gallon tank with Goldfishes in it, and I wanted to put some plants in it. What kind of plants would do well in a 1.68wpg tank with cheap subtrate? Also I wanted to make sure the Goldfish did not devour the plants like a salad bar. All...

actually there is still plants in there. As for the fish I wanted to get a couple of livebearers. Platties, mollies and swordtails or something. But the fish will come much later.

on man, I was really hoping it would fit together with the lights that I already have that way i would have 60+86ummmz whatever that is. I think it brings the wpg to around 2.2 or something. And yeah, I will start daily water changes at about 20-30% daily after this weekend. I don't plan to...

ok, I went to AH supply and I ordered a 1x96watt retro fit kit and a bulb. Does anyone know if it will fit together with the lights I have on right now as well? Like I can just add the 96watt to the fixture in the middle of the two fluorescent lights that are on there already? Will that work...

Well my QT tank will be just a QT tank for my 65 gallon tank. And possibly a baby tank, where I can put pregnant ones in there to have babies. I don't think I will be using it as a hospital tank anytime in the near future. Putting some pleco's in there sounds like a cool idea, to keep the...

what kind of light fixture does the tank have?

Oh yeah, one more thing, now there is a lot of good green algae growing in the tank, even on the dead leafs of amazon swords. there is also some white stuff on my java fern leafs? What should I do?

Ok, I have bought a aquascene 12 gallon eclipse tank as my quarantine tank. Well it's not here yet, but one question came up, after I cycle it, I can put fish in it. And than move the fish to my bigger tank. But once I remove the fish and I am finished with the quarantine tank, how do I keep...

I would love to have some. But I am kind of far from you. Any ideas?

Hello everyone. This might be a long post, but hopefully it will provide some information and provide me with some help that I need. First off, the tank has no fish in it for now, all of them died, I know sad, but I am learning from my mistakes. There are supposed to be some amazon swords and...

Ok, everyone, I got the 2 400Watt metal halide kit, but it wasn't a kit, therefore I didn't install it and I just got my money back. So I am not going to be burning and frying my fish anymore. I am going to start a new thread under planted aquariums, because now I really need some help...

is the tank gone? I have noticed that the post is kind of old. just checking.
