Hello, I'm seeing the beginning signs of hair algae. It is just starting. Is there anything I can do to kill it before it takes over the entire tank? here is my info on the tank: 20 G Long tank. substrate is is Fluval stratum monte carlo carpet plant Co2 injection Residents: 8 rasboras...

Interesting and valid thought. Thanks.

Hi everyone, Today, I had one of "those" ideas and I wanted to pass it along to the experts to see what you have to say. I live in Denver CO, and the humidity is extremely low throughout the year (avg <45%). I have a 65G freshwater tank in my living room for 4 years and it was always...

Not really. I'm in Denver, and the LFS is in Boulder. but water parameters are pretty good. I tested it with API and got the same result as the store.

Hi everyone, Why my honey gouramis die one after the other (one every 4-5 days)??!!!??? here is my tank setup. 65G planted tank with some amazon swords and melon swords. Eheim 4 canister filter. It's being running since the beginning of the year. I have a school of 8 harlequin rasboras, 14...

Would Honey Gourami or dwarf Gourami be ok? would they see the 1.5" Amano Shrimps as snacks?

Hi everyone, I have a 65G tank with a base of eco-complete topped with Fluval stratum. A month ago I got some amazon swords and melon swords and they are doing well. I see new growth constantly, and the PH is around 7 or 7.2. I have Co2 injection which is exactly what plants are looking...

I like the Rainbow Fish idea. Thank you.

Hi All, I have a 65G with lots of plants (Amazon swords and hydrocotyles). The current residents are 8 Harlequin Rasboras 10 rummynose tetras 1 zebra loach (2 died). 8 large amano shrimps. I'm looking for a colorful fish that is larger than tetras or rasboras and can live in peace with the...

Thanks for the reply. It's a 20G long planted tank. I have C02 injected with very little dosing of Nitrate. substrate is a mix of eco-complete topped with Fluval Stratum. The plants are doing well, so I don't need do add anything more. Natural algae generation is avg. I see some on the...

Hello, I have a 20G long shrimp tank. It's base is covered with monte carlo. I had some Amano shrimps and got 4 velvet blue and 4 yellow shrimps. NO FISH!! bit by bit, I noticed that the velvet blue and yellow shrimps are disappearing. I'm down to 1 yellow, and the Amano shrimps are still...

Hi, What is this algae and how can I get rid of it? it grows just as fast as I try to remove any of it. PLEASE HELP!!!

Welcome to the beautiful and complex world of planted aquariums. I sincerely mean it and I don't want to discourage you. Look for "aquascaping" or "planted tanks" in youtube and you'll see some beautiful stuff. I've been trying to do it for the past 2 years, and it's been an interesting...

This post is a bit old, but here is my $0.02. Amazon swords are pretty good. I also suggest Anacharis and Italian Vals (not jungle vals). Both plants are very easy to grow with no fertilizers required. In fact, stay away from fertilizers. They also grow very fast. Having the right...

I can't vouch for a 30" deep tank, but I have a Fluval Plant LED light, which is very nice and very configurable. It has an internal timer and it's bluetooth enabled. If this doesn't help, then flood lights maybe your only option.
