Ahhhh! That could definitely explain it! Thanks! I just thought the guy was an idiot, heehee.

I bought this little plant the other day and it's growing beautifully. It wasn't marked and when I asked what it was, the guy said" Wisteria" and I'm pretty sure he's wrong because wisteria was planted right next to this. It's tall...and... here are the pics (sorry they are of poor quality!)

Haha that's so cute! <3 Sometimes I still get 10g of water on the floor, heehee!

I read they are good cuz they compete with bad algae. I squuuzed it :) out. It feels like a big ball of felt!

Anyone had any luck with these? Any advice? I already googled 'em, but wondering if anyone here has any :)

It was totally green yesterday? Seems like one day shouldn't be a big deal...non-aquatic plants do that but usually over a long time. Interested to see what others think...

When I worked for the local fish store (as a tank cleaner) we did weekly 25-80% water changes with cold water and no dechlorinator (chlorine is actually very unstable and the aeration of the water hitting the surface breaks up the molecule) and we rarely had any fish deaths. So while its...

I personally don't have any experience with aquabid, but most sellers will offer a live-on-arrival guarantee, if they don't, buy from someone else. Also, read through their negative ratings, or try to avoid people with negative ratings. I found that a lot of the neutrals and negatives were...

YAY! Good luck. My lights are coming in Thursday and it's too far away! :)

YAY! Hope this is right. $8.99 @ my over-priced Tru Valu :)

The best place I've found is Betta Fish and Betta Fish Care. It's just like this site but only for bettas! It has a huge treasure of info! Min tank size...well, imo the bigger the better. Anything under 5 gallons should probably have 50-80% daily water changes (unless it has a filter). Also...

We tried two Wal-marts, neither of them had PFS, although the 2nd had pool sand filters. I'm a bit discouraged because by the time we got to Lowe's, the pool shops were closed, and by the time we finished at Walmart # 2, I couldn't even buy flourite because the pet stores were closed! I did...

I know! I could practically ship in soil from the Amazon for that! :) Pool supply stores are closed...but I guess I can wait :)

@ Lowe's. PFS=25lbs for $24.99 :(

That is soooo true! How many bags of PFS do you think I'll need? How deep does it need to be? Seems like the usual 2" won't be sufficient for root systems. Another question...When I buy my canister filter, what else do I need to buy to go with it? :) I was looking at this one Any...
