I've order a new Fluval Fresh and Plant 2.0(the 48" one) that should be in this week, as well as the wifi controller. This will be replacing my 2 lamp F32T8, where each lamp is running a 4x overdrive over a 55 gallon planted with pressurized co2 and a modified EI fertilizer dosing. The plants...

I just got over a nice case of GW, to find this algae, that I've never seen before. Parameters as follows. 55 gallon that's been setup for about 2 months now with moneralized dirt topped by flourite. Ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate will all sit at 0 ppm unless I dose, and I aim for about 5 to 10...

I've been wanting to do a shrimp only tank for red cherry shrimp, but my mind keeps going back to what has happened everytime I've tried in the past. They end up getting killed by the filter. So, I think I might have an idea for a solution that I wanted to run by you all. I have a 10 gallon...

I'm dealing with green water right now on my 55 planted. Amonia and nitrites both test at 0, as well as phosphate if I skip a day of ferts, and nitrate is at under 40ppm (all tested before a pwc that ended in a sad way). First time in over 6 years of having at least one aquarium to get green...

I've searched and can't find a thread showing the pros and cons of different co2 reactors(thinking about getting a different reactor). I currently have a Sera 500 inline reactor hooked to a Fluval 106. Pros, inline, so out of sight. It does do a good job for lower co2 amounts, but beyond about...

I've been testing nh3, no2, no3, and po4 daily and slowly uping fertilizer amounts. I'm at 3 ml of the aquavitro activate (a phosphorus and potassium supplement), and even after 24 hours, the phosphate tests out at 0. I've done the phosphate test several times (api reagent kit) just to be sure...

I'm trying to figure out the limits of my current lighting on my 55, which i keep on otherwise open top(the only thing across the top is the light). My light is a Lights Of America t12 fixture that i converted over to t8 lamps(one of the original ballasts had quick, and the other was well on...

I've been looking around here for a bit, and finally decided to join. I just moved from a 10 gallon up to a 55 gallon, both of them being planted, just moving the plants and filter(a Fluval 106) from the one to the other. I know that canister isn't intended for a 55, but i count on the plants...
