I've had these two plants for a month or so now, and they're growing beautifully. I was wondering if this is tiger lotus or another type? It's not as dark, but it also has more of a red tinge than green tiger lotus. Any ideas??

I just picked up fluval chi for next to nothing, and I'm looking for a plant that I could place at the top of the waterfall. Any suggestions? I currently have a small water sprite in there

Ended up getting a 2x24w t5 ho fixture, it came with one 10000k daylight and one actinic, and I replaced the actinic with a 5000k flora sun bulb

DIY CO2, I just changed my lighting, got myself a solarmax t5 ho 230 fixture with one 10000k daylight bulb and a florasun 5000k bulb, both @ 24w each

Yeah, unfortunately :/

I recently picked up a solarmax t5 ho 230, and I love it! The only problem is, it has little moonlight LEDs That are supposed to run after you turn the main bulbs off. The only problem is, when hooked to my light timer, the circuit shuts off completely when I want the lights to turn off. Anyone...

Duly noted. I didn't think of that. i'll have to get some more rounded rocks for some caves on the two sides of the tank, since i want to put this volcano in the dead center. It's part of my whole new setup...

Hmm idk. I picked up a Hydor Ario 3 turbo air pump, it's actually pretty neat since it can be buried under the gravel. I mean, I dont care if a few bubbles get out the side, but I'm hoping that the majority of them go up through the opening in the top, it's just a matter of centering It and whatnot.

I wanna try to make something that looks similar to a volcano for the centerpiece in my new tank to be. I want it to be about 15" high and have a diameter of around 6". I want a hole in the top since I'm putting an under-gravel air pump and a red LED light in the middle of it, and maybe some...

So i'm starting a new tank which i plan on being heavily planted. However i'm at a standstill with the lighting. Its gonna be a 29g and i'm hoping to get some opinions on different types of fixtures and what my best option would be. The plants i plan on having need mostly low-medium light. I was...

Update: for lighting I'm thinking two deep blue solarmax HE 130s (14w per bulb)

Ooo I like those rainbowfish, think I might add some of them as well. I have about a dozen sparkling gourami in my tank, they love to hang out in my patch of water sprite, really cool looking fish imo

So I've had this 29 gallon tank sitting in my room for months, and i'm finally going to do something with it. I formulated a plan for a FW tank and i'm starting to work on getting all the materials and whatnot. I'd like as much criticism and ideas as possible, so please help me out :D Here's...

Oooo Ty! That'll be helpful in the future, I think I'll post that up on the wall in our aquatic plant accessories section at the pet store I work at :D

Hair grass seems like an awesome idea! any idea how well it'll do in sand?
