    AquaFest 2009, coming to you in October!

    To the top with you! Site has been updated with bios for speakers, along with a listing of some of the vendors as sponsors as everything comes together. One month away, a great one to see if you are in the area!

    AquaFest 2009, coming to you in October!

    Great speakers, room full of vendors (and yet more vendors always block out ground floor hotel rooms surrounding the pool), fish show, huge all day auction on Sunday. What more could you ask for? AquaFest 2009

    Bubble counter fluid

    glycerin works well with lower bubble counts, sorta foams at high bubble counts though. Doesn't evaporate.

    Plants, anyone?

    And you hit the crux of it. What people who are always saying "actinics are bad" fail to realize (or just don't want to explain the detail of) is that many Actinics DO provide useful light for plants, but others can indeed be useless. There are many actinics that completely miss that 440 nm...

    AAC Aquavida Scaping Contest Results are in

    It is pretty amazing depth in a 15g cube, isn't it? I have a favorite, but I'm biased. ;)

    Bought New Lighting Today!! Quick Question

    jsoong, the Coralife are NO T5's, it'd be 2x14. You are still fairly low light, but can probably grow the easier stem plants. Try growing Ludwigia Repens, Rotala Rotundifolia for starters, see how they do.

    100 gal planted

    Can I make a suggestion? Well, I'm going to! ;) I think it is an enormous Wendtii? The plant dead center? Try moving it, to right or left - to left, next to driftwood, or to right, right of the tall thin plant that almost looks like a giant anubias lanceolata.

    first timer w/ a 55

    Answer to your earlier question: Plants consume ammonia before nitrite, and nitrite before nitrate. You'll see Ammonia bottom out before they start to consume nitrates, in other words.

    36 Discus Plant Assortment (36 Discus Assortment)

    I tend to agree with happygirl, it isn't easy to find that volume of plants from one hobbyist source, and the savings on a per plant basis get chewed up pretty quickly in shipping costs from several sources vs. only one.

    You have a 4x65 Compact Flourescent fixture, NOT a T5 fixture. Just for the record/clarification T5 lighting uses T5 bulbs, not compact flourescents. 4' T5HO bulbs would be 4' long and 54 watts each. You still haven't posted a manufacturer of it btw, and that matters when it comes to...

    question on lighting

    Oh, I'd be ready to have CO2 with that much light over a larger tank. ;) As an example: My 180g grows just about anything, and that is running at 1.7 wpg (with a recently added 2.6 wpg noonburst). While I will grant my light is a better one - this is TEK fixtures and T5HO's - it still...
