How do you go about getting these nice, dense java ferns? All the ones i have are very thin and kind of look like crap?

Has anyone has success breeding nerites? I was thinking about either taking eggs from one of my tanks that has several nerites and putting them into something like a 2.5 gallon brackish tank or just putting 2/3 nerites in their. If anyone has has success breeding them what salinity was it in...

I looked into that a while back, Seemed like kind of a pain in the behind. What do you think about the T5HO fixture i posted?

I use root tabs right now anyway. I like my amazon swords and crypts lol. I agree with looking stupid but i have never gotten a noticeably bad smell unless im right next to it. Cost and effect lol, Stupid looking save $100+ lol. I was originally looking at this T5 fixture (Odyssea PS Dual 6500K...

I have a bottle of excel but im not against DIY co2. Wont be doing pressurized Co2 though. How about a bag of eco-complete and the rest black diamond blasting sand? Also, Why did he say no on the T5s and you say yes? Just curious.

So thats a no on carpeting plants..... That was one of the big reasons i wanted to try high-tech. I would do eco with water ferts and a carbon source. So what light am i going to need? I really don't want to spend more then $60-80 on a light. $100 being the absolute max. Would one of these be...

How about this fixture? Coralife Freshwater Double Aqua T5 Strip 36 Inch Why not eco-complete or something like that for substrate. Im not opposed to spending more those were just my price guidelines so to speak.

What do you have available?

Endlers, for plants java moss, amazon frogbit and guppy grass are pretty much the ones that come to mind. Considering its likely not going to be the easiest task to plant root feeders in something like that and that those plants provide tons of cover and shade. Also all fast growers.

I like these personally. Lights Of America 10 Watt Mini Fluorescent Aquarium Bulb, 1ct - Walmart.com

Im thinking about converting my 30 long to a high tech(ish) planted tank. The tank will need several things and the planning is still in the infancy stage but i definitely want to try it. There is a few things im wondering/need to know. 1. Substrate - I was thinking either dirt capped with...

Something like ecocomplete would probably help any root feeders, my nitrate reduction method is lots of java moss lol. I only had a few strands of hornwort but it all died. Would love to try it again personally. if you did a med light LED with ferts and something like ecocomplete heavily...

Were the fish in the water when you did this or did you remove them? Im tired so ignore me if i missed it lol.

i would love that but thats pretty far out of the range im willing to spend, really no more then $100 preferably around $50 lol. I know you get what you pay for but im not looking for anything fancy or even particularly nice looking. Just needs to be able to grow some low light plants.

Yea, i had another post asking which one of a few LEDS listed would be best and people were saying for a 75 none of them would really be any good and i might need 2 for the light to be evenly distributed. No way im buying 2 of them lol.

So after reading basically all day trying to figure out what im going to do for my 75 gallon low tech tank i got the idea of just doing cheap shop lights. My question is what is more important, the bulb being "Full spectrum", "Kelvin" rating or "lumens". Im only looking to grow mosses...

Would i be better of putting a plant bulb in the T12 and putting the LEDS on together or just get rid of the T12 all together. Sorry for so many questions, i want this tank to look nice with the plants and dont want to pay an arm and a leg.

Well those are the only lighs i have found under $100. Im not really willing to spend much more then that let alone buy 2 of them. Do i have any other options here. Again im only really looking to do low light plants but i want them to grow not just survive.

I know its a lot to look at but could you tell me which you think would be best? 12 18 24 30 36 48 72"Aquarium LED Light 0 5W Multi Color Full Spec Plant Marine | eBay 0 5W 12 18 24 30 36 48 72"Aquarium LED Light Multi Color Full Spec Plant Marine | eBay Beamswork ea Timer 6500K LED...

+1 to basically everything posted. Last week i sold 40 endlers for $20. roughly 20 were fully colored/sexed and roughly 20 that will be within probs 2 weeks.(the guy said he would take fry too as long as they were a certain size). There is also a new place that opened up around me that buys from...

Whats the " i don't blame her" about. Been a few days but did i miss more nonsense?

For the most part low light to medium light(maybe) Im not very knowledgeable on the whole plant thing. But on my 30 gallon i originally had just a generic T8 on their and the plants survived but didn't grow (all low light). i switched to a full spectrum bulb and thee next day there was new...

I recently bought a 75 gallon tank second hand, it came with a t12 fixture and im not really very big on it. I want to get more into plants and things like that but i also dont have $100-200 to spend on a new fixture. Im wondering if some of these light fixtures would work. For the T5 fixtures i...

Well that sucks, any idea why? =(

Hey, its been a while sense i have been on. I have been very busy im my personal life. How are the plecos and everything else doing? Just got a new 75 too so thats been a project =D Also, cant send you personal messages.
