    23G Rimless Community Tank Build

    Pretty low maintenance other than trimming (mostly roots) and removing dead leaves that fall in. I do monthly water changes, if I remember, but I do top off weekly and and fertilize every few weeks. Truthfully, the amano shrimp and nerite snails do a great job keeping the deterius in check, and...

    Thanks for the PM I'm picking up a D20 from a fellow SCAPE member today to play with until I figure out what I want to spend $$$ on Honestly Brian, I need to make sure I have the talent and acumen to demand a $500+ investment. I really like what you are doing with the NX300, and I really...

    All 3 of the NX series cameras with the 20-50mm lens have OIS, however, after reading the review and comparison here Samsung NX2000 - Digital cameras - CNET Reviews I' think I;ll go with the NX2000 for $50 more than the NX1100 I do believe the biggest factor in fine photography is the operator...

    Joey's Rimless 17 Gallon High Tech Build

    Was a nice tank Joey. Can't wait to see your new build. How's your recovery going? S. Subulata behaved the same for me, stagnant for weeks and weeks and now sending runners. Also staying low. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    Great pics! You've got a good eye. Did you use a tripod? I'm leaning towards the NX1100 for cost reasons I agree you're EBR looks like a male. Congrats :) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    Tank looks great, again :D I'm also looking at cameras, I have a thread on scape about various models I'm interested in; I had not considered the NX300 Which lens did you get with yours, 18-55mm or 20-50mm? 2.5x or 3.x optical zoom? Is there a super macro function? I'm reading CNET reviews on...

    In all honesty it seems you have a successful tank despite what your test kit tells you. I had a similar experience with ammonia always testing present and no nitrates, my tank and fish are all still well after several months. If there is not an obvious source of ammonia in the tank, like...

    23G Rimless Community Tank Build

    The riparium is easier, no special tank required ;) I dig the community there. Going to meetings and getting to know members on a first-name and face to face basis is a nice; it's the biggest difference between a forum and a club. I naturally don't mind being involved and giving back to the...
