Wow!! How did you get so good at it?? How much did u spend on your plants?? Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

20 gal tank, planted. 3 barbs and one gourami. Algae controlled until something went wrong. Wisterias started to rot, barbs ate all the bad leaves. Two months now trying to treat green water with API algae control. 28 drops every three days for a week now. also I use buffer for my water has no...

I have the same problem with my sword. I just trimmed all the rotting roots and leaves. SO answer is more fertilizer? Did you fix yours?

In deed the problem was that my tap water has GH only 3. And with the low PH GH of the tank was 0. So, I had to use RO And it worked. The PH problem is gone now.

And I am back to low PH again!!!!! I changed water...I am preparing dead coral and sea shells now. I don't know what else to do.

Yes, they are "lacy" :) I will get some plant food with nutrients, since I have only iron fert.

This one wasn't in the little pot, just by itself fully submerged.

I got it two weeks ago, and I discovered that my Ph is too low, so I had to fix that problem. While I was fighting that, my wisteria's stems and leaves have rotten and I kept clipping them. Now I have maybe 2 inches left of it. There are no roots either. I saw it floating on the surface this...

So you saying I have to always keep some coral or shells in the tank?

This is indeed very nice tank! I will be looking for a two lamps fixture one then. Thank you for your advice!

I just tested the water in Petco and everything is great! I guess baking soda did the trick! Now what? A month ago ich have killed 5 fish leaving only one gourami untouched.

Its 20 gal high. So what is the best fixture for midium to high light I should have on it?

I have coral and sea shells from the store and Mexico, could I crush them somehow...and use in the tank??

Yes, it is 20 gal and one fish is still there - gourami. I did change water twice a month about %30, and since I noticed low PH I changed water twice a week. PH was always 7.2 7- .4. So, how do i restart the system? Nitrate, nitrite and ammonia levels were there but not too bad. I am going to...

Hi, I am growing plants in my tank. Recently I had to replace my fluorescent bulb (it came with the kit) for the f15t8 15 watts 6500K. It is 15 inches from the hood to the gravel. Is it enough light? I read in some sited that watts per gallon is not the correct measurement. If it is then I...
