Cleaned it all up, seems like it still needs something in the left side..tall and green, but not something that spreads like mad. Might go to the LPS and get some more fish tonight...my lone fish probably could use some company.

Faile, Excellent!, thank you for that info, and I did notice that when I took the plant out, kind of a nub right in the middle of the root mass(which is an understatement, probably 5' if you put it all end to end)

I had all that stuff(tank,regulator..the works) but sold it all off, that was before I had this tank. I'm debating on doing it, but thats why Im asking a few questions. I know adding co2 would help the plants max out in the light I have, or even allow me to get some larger bulbs, but dont want...

Plants: Crypt wendtii red - probably doing the best Java fern - almost killed it, a few green leaves emerging grandiflous sword - grew out of the tank, leaves withered and not sure how to start it over. dwarf sagittaria - not bad, but a lot of leaf tip rot and transparency anubias congensis-...

Getting the tank back into shape and need a few pointers. Its a 24 or so gallon high bow with a diy hood light(2 13 watt cfl mounted vertical with work light reflectors-don't laugh, its good enough for who its for) 1 - Do I need to dose ferts? If so just the basics macro, micro? 2 - Am I...

2 days ago, I looked over at the corner and saw my neglected tank sitting there making me feel guilty. It had been close to 4-5 months since I did any real water change and no ferts or anything. I have since did a pretty major substrate vaccum and around 2 50% wc in the last 3 days. While I...

Joy13 Not a clue as to their background, and I dont know if the lfs guy would know either, He mentioned going to an auction for them, didnt get them, and then a few days later, he saw them on his list(I assume a list of fish available to order) I can check with him, but I would have my doubts...

ok...had a little chat with the lfs that I bought them from.... Micropoecilia picta, he was pretty geeked about them, went to an auction years ago and he said he stopped bidding at 25 a pair(I believe they were pretty rare then, but he said you still dont seem to find alot of em) Also...

Soooo I bought this pair of livebreeders today..and for the life of me I cant recall the name of these guys...any help would be appreciated. The male is orange with some black spots, female is quite bland, grayish and a bit bigger. I have a photo I'll load in a bit. Thanks

I would prefer not to ship this, so a semi local sale would be preferred. Up for sale as Im dropping down to a low tech setup, 1 - 5lb cylinder - aluminum and 4 months old - excellent condition - pretty much full 1 - Concoa Dual gauge Regulator 1 - Fabco Needle valve 1 - Check Valve 5' - co2...

The left side of the pic is the top, the small clear tube you see is where the co2 hooks up. The input and output are the same size as the hoses coming off the canister filter. I still get a pretty good flow from my spraybar.

Thanks, My problem is I cant quit messing around with this thing(is that normal?) My wife says it changes daily-she exaggerates just a little-it changes every other day:p I think I would like to put that other piece down too, but how much is too much?
