It looks as if I am going to use the peat...helps in breeding my discus plus it gives the tank a natural look instead of the usual "crystal clear" false look. I honestly like trying to replicate my tanks. blah blah blah i know where discus come from hardly any plants but I had to do a planted...

my Ph is in a swing...I have peat in there right now and its around 7.8 and my DH is 9-10...I have an RO/DI unit...it sucks and I hate using it.

Hey everyone, I have a 125 gallon planted tank...it is in its initial cycling but its inhabitants are going to be discus. The question is...discus should be maintained with a PH of 6.5-7.5 and my P.H. is really high. I am trying to find an easy (or the easiest) way of bringing down the PH and...

well thank you peyton...i guess im gonna have to look for the the true SAE! The hunt begins...

Thats fine...the bulbs come with the fixture. Plus I guess im gonna have to figure a way to find what dosing works for me. Its gonna be a long road ahead but I am just trying to consider my options!

ohhh okay...how about flourish, flourish excel and flourish pottasium every day or every second day and having flourish iron dosed when iron is getting low (by checking with a test kit)...ohh and I forgot to mention im going to try under gravel heating (heating the substrate about a degree or...

Same here about the otto's....but I have always been told to stay away because of the short life span. And as far as a dosing schedule I was think of all the flourish lines in the morning about an hour after the lights come on

I love otto cats :D so could I get away with just otto cats and a pleco to be on the safe side?

Well yeah thats what I heard...SAE's get like 6" dont they? What would be the way of distinguishing the difference between them?

Really even with the stocking levels of my tank already? How about say 1 clown or gold nugget pleco plus say 10 otto cats and a paif of SAE's... sound good? I dont want to put to many fish in the tank and still have a decent algae crew

I love gold nuggets...they will do okay?I am just trying to get an algae team that will do well in the tank and still maintain the looks...if you get what I mean

I love otocinclus...problem is they dont have the longest life span :( If I could have just a whole bunch of them that would be awsome but its not worth the money how long them truly live. But on a sde note I love Zebra Otoclinclus :D:D:D But they are seasonal so...any other suggestions beside...

Dont worry I will let you know how it turns out and I will also go pick up some flourish pottasium tomorow. :) Also can you recomend any really good algea eaters? Preferable a different type of pleco...hmm maybe a clown/emperor pleco
