So its been 2 weeks since I initially planted my tank. The first week didn't go so well. I had to replant a lot of my stem plants, because my rosy barbs pulled them up. But after about a week they grew some roots and I haven't had that issue again. I did notice that all of my plants, with the...

I do understand that the internet can have more up to date information. I search often, however I'm a hard copy kind of person. I like being able to sit down in my recliner and read about something for a bit. When researching something new to me, I have a tendancy to suffer from information...

What are the best books to read when learning about setting up a salt water aquarium?

I was reading the bottle of flourish complete at my LFS and noticed it had some copper in it. Looks like a super low dose, however knowing that copper is bad for inverts, is it possible to keep them of you also dose the flourish complete?

I thought that might be the case. Thanks so much for all your help. I'm excited for when they grow in a bit more.

I know we talked about it before, but right now I have 2 T5HO bulbs over the tank, but a 4 bulb fixture. Can I go to all 4 bulbs now, or should I wait for it to fill in more? If so, what mix of bulbs should I go with? I put in root tabs when I planted, and can does florish excel and florish...

I went and looked at the tank and saw what you were talking about. It was the worst with the ambulia. I redid it and this is what they look like now, what do you think?

I did trim the bottoms, I spread them out some. I'll assume you are saying that they are not spread out enough? I'll have to work on that a little more.

Of course then I realized that I still wanted some more plants, so I ordered some eco-complete and replaced my gravel. And then ordered some plants. They finally arrived today and I was able to plant them. Here is what I have: Crypt Parva, Water Hyssop, Marble Queen Sword broad...

Here is the journey of my tank so far. I was given a 55g tank back in early October by a friend, Bought some decorations and such, cycled the tank and added fish. Of course just having fish was quickly boring, so I decided to add a couple plants. And then a couple pieces of driftwood...

My Tank has been set up since OCT, it has been completely cycled. the ammonia was less than .25. I recently changed my substrate from gravel to eco-complete, which caused a mini cycle. Its returned to 0 now. I am confident that water quality has not caused any of this. There is a chance that...

bump I would like to know also.

They were in a 55g. Plenty of hiding spots. I hope it's just stress, he did get bullied a bit. We will see. If he recovers I will try it again.

I believe moss balls should be free, as well as rotated occasionally so that it is exposed to light on all sides. At least that is what I do with mine. I have never thought about how to attach them. Perhaps tie black thread around it.
